No derision here. A Tarsem-helmed Aquaman could be the most visually stunning superhero movie ever. He just needs a good script.

[DarkSovereignty]

here here. get a script from neil gaiman, and it'll be golden. might seem random, but neil gaiman is my favorite author and he has dabbled in screenwriting lol.

I will tell you this: it seems like Roger Ebert liked his first two films. Tarsem Singh's style is different. Although the critics hated it, I liked the cinematography in "Immortals". I am sure he could make an epic movie featuring Aquaman, but it will be a hit or a miss with the critics.

[DarkSovereignty]

like flick chick said all he needs is a good script, which shouldn't be problem with nolan basically acting like the kevin feige of dc, (at least that's the vibe I'm picking up).

That was me, but it was more of a joke.

Let's wait till his first movie comes out.

pffffft, why waste Gailman on just Aquaman? Make him write the whole Justice League franchise.

Man, that would be ****ing awesome.

Nowhere near that involved. Nolan at the most would executive produce the film and solo films and perhaps in the same capacity as MOS. Not be in control of the universe that is being set up. It's about what interest Nolan. I don't expect Nolan to be that involved.

Now for a director, the choice at the top of my head right now is Brad Bird.

[shauner111]

i was thinking Brad Bird too. LOL my suggestion for Paula Patton as my out-of-the-box-thinking for Wonder Woman didn't go over well in the other thread! but id imagine Brad Bird would direct it if that were the case. But ill settle for Aquaman

[DarkSovereignty]

I actually would love paula patton as wonder woman, but god forbid wonder woman not look like every other black haired female comic book character.

[combocaz]

Doug Liman To Direct

Tony Gilroy to Write if Will Beall's script stinks.

[combocaz]

Whoeva directs needs ILM or WETA to do the cgi.

[LibidoLoca]

Terrance Mallick... I know EXTREMELY unlikely, but I can dream

or someone else...

[The Guard]

After those MAN OF STEEl trailers...connected universe or not, it wouldn't surprise me if WB was leaning toward Snyder.

[sethypants]

If Snyder were to direct Justice League, it would be great.

I could see this being very real possibility, especially if MOS does well.

Frank Darabont

[I Am The Knight]

Avi Arad.

I kind of did some research on great modern film directors and crossed them against great action and comic book film directors and came up with his list of choices. The following is a list of great directors who I think could make a Justice League film:

Ang Lee
Brad Bird
Christorpher Nolan
Paul Green Grass
Guillermo Del Toro
David Fincher
Tim Burton
Ridley Scott
Sam Rami
J. J. Abrams
John McTiernan

I would also give mention to James Cameron, David Yates, Ron Howard, and Kathryn Bigelow, but they probably wouldn't do it.

Next, here is a list of great directors from that list who have done action films:

Ang Lee
Christopher Nolan
Guillermo Del toro
Tim Burton
Ridley Scott
Sam Rami
J. J. Abrams
John McTiernan


Here is a list of great directors from that list have done action and comic book films:

Ang Lee
Christopher Nolan
Guillermo Del toro
Tim Burton
Sam Rami
John McTiernan

I would pick a director from the second list, but if you want to be conservative, you probably want to go with a person who has done a comic book film before.

[7heBoss]

J. J. Abrams would be such an incredible choice. I am also a fan of Snyder which is realistic possibility depending on the success of Man of Steel. Brad Bird is also a great choice

This list is missing Zack Snyder. Disapproval.

I wouldn't put Zack Snider in the same list as those guys. He still has to pay his dues first.

[Project862006]

no he does'nt he is more than proven himself as a good director who can direct huge spectacle,action,drama,and can direct good performances out of his actors not to mention he is a huge comic book fan and is very respectful to source material

[Majik1387]

He's done plenty of action films and two comic films; I don't see a good reason why he'd be missing from the list, yet Ang Lee, Brad Bird, Paul Greengrass(who doesn't belong), David Fincher, and John McTiernan somehow manage to make the list. Keep in mind, other than one of them, I like these directors, but none of them are higher than Snyder in regards to comic movies; if anything Snyder is higher than them.
