This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]525491[/split]
Does Sorkin have anything great of his own? I mean, I'm only familiar with his adapted screenplays.
From cinemacon a bunch of exclusive footage/concept art of JL/Wonder Woman/Aquaman got show to the audience. No real big news though
The only person fit to direct Flash for me is whoever tf directed Kingsman.
Batgirl is flying solo. The superheroine is getting her own standalone movie from filmmaker Joss Whedon.
Whedon is nearing a deal to write, direct, and produce an untitled Batgirl pic for Warner Bros. as part of its DC Extended Universe.
No other producers are currently attached. Toby Emmerich, president and chief content officer of Warner Bros. Pictures Group is overseeing with Jon Berg and Geoff Johns. The new project originated in the past month.
Batgirl is one of the most popular superheroines in the world, but has never gotten her own movie. The project will also feature other characters from the world of Gotham.
Batgirl first appeared in DC Comics in 1967 as Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gotham City police commissioner James Gordon in The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl! by writer Gardner Fox and artist Carmine Infantino.
The Batgirl project will be the second movie from DC Films to star a female lead after Gal Gadots Wonder Woman, which opens June 2. Extensive footage was shown Wednesday at CinemaCon.
Whedon would be making a big move from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to its DC counterpart, having written and directed The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron for Disney-Marvel. He also created the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Warner Bros. DC Extended Universe launched with 2013s Man of Steel, followed by last years Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Its upcoming films, which have already been dated, include Wonder Woman,; Justice League, debuting Nov. 17; and Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa and hitting theaters in December of 2018.
The studio is also developing a Suicide Squad sequel and Gotham City Sirens, a spinoff to Suicide Squad with Margot Robbies Harley Quinn character; The Batman, starring Ben Affleck with Matt Reeves directing; a Shazam film and a Black Adam spinoff starring Dwayne Johnson; and projects based on the Flash and Cyborg characters.
