First Avenger Directed by Joe Johnston

David Self is a moron. Bring on Ed Brubaker.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I think he's a solid choice, not a wow inducing one but has the ability to make a good Cap movie IMO.

Has the guy ever made a period piece..?

 

[PyroChamber]

Since he knows a little about designing characters, maybe he can bring some input in on designing Cap's costume.

And now that we have a director, they can start focusing on the REAL task...finding a star.

Does it really matter?

No other choice Marvel has made had real backgrounds in what they doing.

The Rocketeer. Awesome movie from my late childhood. Americans fighting Nazis. Can't get any better than that.

You can ask. I just don't know why it matters.

Thanks

No prob. Love the avatar. Hilarious. But if you haven't seen The Rocketeer, definitely check it out.

If you have kids, it's a great family flick toot:

This a nice solid, albeit unexpected choice. This should be on the SHH front page too.

 

[Bubastis]

Crap.

This movie is supposed to be a character-driven period action drama, not a Special Effects extravaganza.

 

[JP]

Solid choice.

Wooooo!!!!!! Yeah baby yeah!!!!! Wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Yahoooooo!!! *I love to share other people's enthusiasm*

 

[Symbiotic]

Johnston's a-ok with me. Let's get this movie made!

 

[Sawyer]

Hey! He directed The Pagemaster!

 

[Spade]

The guy does some good period pieces, and the only one of his films (barring Hidalgo, which I did not go to see) that I disliked was Jurassic Park III. So I'm all for Johnston being attached. Now we can start expecting some developments with The First Avenger, like a new screenwriter and actors.

 

[Saint]

Jurassic Park III was weak, but his other films are solid. I suspect this will be a good choice, regardless of the fact that none of his movies expressly qualify him to direct a superhero film.

 

[[A]]

I'm checking most of his movies in the next weeks.. that's for sure.

 

[DBZ2cool]

I dont' know why but I am getting a strong feeling that this guy is perfect for Captain America.

Don't ask me why but I am pretty sure that as a director he will do great job. Now we have to see who is gonna be CA.

Jon Faverau wasn't all that good in my books but he delivered superb movie.

I am very curious to know who will direct THE AVENGERS!! Louis Letteriur probably won't because he is busy with clash of titans and some other flick. Jon will be done IM2 so maybe he will jump right into The Avengers.

I think Joe Jhonston might end up directing both Captain America & The Avengers in one go.

 

[JTHM777]

I always thought he would be a perfik choice. I am more excited than ever.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Who at Marvel is making these totally out of left field choices for directors?

Not saying it's a bad thing! At first I was like "um, who?" but after I checked out his imdb page I can see why they picked him.

I remain optimistic and faithful. Favs and Leterrier were both great picks, who am I to argue?

I guess this finally kills Avi's "Man Out of Time, let's gloss over WWII and get to modern day in 30 minutes" version.

I wonder if they're working from David Self's script or starting over?

Damn. Captain America. It's really happening.

Jurassic Park 3 - decent
October Sky - excellent
Honey I shrunk the Kids - Rick F'n Moranis! nuff said.
Jumanji - fun
The Pagemaster - been a while, but I recall enjoying it.
