Greg Berlanti directing Booster Gold?

[CaptainWagner]

Zack Stentz Is Writing A BOOSTER GOLD Movie

Good to hear, I hope that Giffen gets some input. And hopefully Berlanti isn't actually directing. Get Shane Black, PLEASE!

And it would be a huge mistake to skip Ted. Jaime really has no relationship with Booster, while he and Ted are one of the best duos in comics. You've got to get funny actors with good chemistry, I'd say James Franco/Toby Maguire or Zac Efron/Adam Devine.

 

[Tg11]

Armie Hammer as Booster Gold and as The Beetle I would go with Jason Bateman

 

[CaptainWagner]

One of these two duos for Blue/Gold, please.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Confirmed by the man himself.

If Warner Bros. TV executives asked you to be the Kevin Feige — who is the creative mastermind of Marvel — of the DC Cinematic Universe, what would you say?

It's never even really come up. Peter [Roth, president of Warner Bros. TV] knows how much I love the characters, and I like being part of this universe in any way that they'll all allow and are interested in me being a part. That's the truth. I'm attached to a few films [at Warner Bros.] now, and one, Booster Gold, is a DC property. Zack Stentz, who wrote an episode of Flash last year, just got the job, so he's writing the script now. I'd probably direct that, or I would want to. But I don't see my cup as limited. I actually think some of the stuff we get to do on the TV side is richer, deeper and more like the true comic books in the sense that you're always able to explore a new thing the next week and the stories grow wider and wider.

[CaptainWagner]

You know, I'm okay with Berlanti directing. But at least try to get Shane Black first. The man was MADE for this movie!

 

[WBwins]

Slightly off topic but I do wish he was offered the Kevin fiege role

I seriously call into question the logic WB is using to choose characters for the big screen. It's excellent that Booster Gold & perhaps even the Blue Beetle are getting film adaptations, but there are more well known characters that need one first.



Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Doctor Fate, or even Firestorm should be done first, then work your way down to "second tier" characters, just my 2 cents.

 

[The_Manhunter]

If true, I can think of a few dozen characters I'd rather see, but I hope it's good at least.

Agreed

Hey if ends up good than an I can't complain too much.

Nor can I, however I'd choose to follow Marvel Studios approach. Get all your primary characters established first, then roll with the secondary characters. For me, WB is doing this all "scattershot" & see what sticks.

I can agree on some of those, but it all depends on what story DC is trying to tell. Plus, Beetle & Booster bring something unique to the table the way a lot of other heroes wouldn't.

 

[Paradox1]

I think a Booster Gold film directed by Berlanti is a good combination. He likes playing in this sandbox, and like Schnepp would say he's a sweatie. Booster Gold if he's connected to the main DC universe is going to bring some levity. Booster just in the same room as Ben Afleck's Batman is going to be hilarious.

They're not going to have two versions of the same character, that's why Arrow can't use the Suicide Squad anymore, killed off Amanda Waller, etc. You already have Amell's Green Arrow, the Martian on Supergirl, Hawkman, Hawkgirl and Firestorm on LoT... Do you really need more? The Flash is the one big exception because the show got green-lighted before the movie.

If people are not happy with Supergirl's Martian Manhunter or Amell's Green Arrow, they will have to wait till those shows are over, or that WB changes its policy, till then...

On Greg Berlanti, he is very inconsistent, the last two seasons of Arrow are a mess, many think the second season of The Flash is a disappointment, and LoT and Supergirl are very, very mediocre.

And his movies' track record is even worse:

- Life As We Know It (Director): RT 28%
- Green Lantern (Writer & Producer): 26%
- Wrath of the Titans (Writer): 25%
- Pan (Producer): 26%

WB should get a good director for Booster Gold, Berlanti can help as a producer, he has some good ideas, but he's not a great writer.

If A show sucks its usually the fault of the showrunner and Berlanti isnt the showrunner for any of those shows, he just employs them. Movie writers are expendable and what makes it to screen isn't always representative of what's been written on the page.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

I liked Booster Gold in Smallville so I'd be interested in this movie.

 

[Tg11]

Yes Booster Gold was perfect in Smallville but for that to transition on to the big screen yeah they would have to cast the right actor into that role in order for it to work

No excuses buddy, Berlanti is very involved with his shows, he shares the responsability:

Berlanti takes a hands-on approach to all of the shows in his stable, and over the years has assembled a trusted team to help him execute — Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg and Ali Adler, among them — which DC Comics chief content officer Geoff Johns jokingly calls his “Justice League.”

“Honestly, I’m so reliant on others,” Berlanti says. “It’s the long-term relationships I’ve had that allow me to do multiple things, because you have a shorthand with these people.”

But nervous network execs needn’t worry. The 42-year-old wunderkind says he discovered long ago — going back to his days on the WB’s “Dawson’s Creek,” where he had a meteoric rise to showrunner — what it takes to succeed in the role.

“I learned that I really rely on other writers — that I can break stories quickly, but I can’t write quickly,” he says. “I learned that it’s OK that I’m not great at everything, that there are a lot of things that I may never be as good at as some of the other people I hired. Don’t be threatened by that. Co-opt that. Be good at the stuff you’re good at, but also know what you’re not as strong at.”

So he focuses his time and energy on where he can make the most impact: developing stories, editing, casting.

He approves the crap his fellow writers and producers deliver. If he wanted Arrow to be more faithful to the source material and a better show, he could make it happen, but he doesn't care or is not talented enough to get it done.

And as one of the producers of Pan, he failed again to deliver a good movie, with his track record, WB should hire good producers and writers to help him make Booster Gold work.

He takes part of the blame like a parent whose kid gets into trouble. In this metaphor he has a lot of kids and some of people who are babysitting aren't doing a great job.

I haven't seen Pan but the reviews I've seen say their biggest gripe with the film was the direction.

I also applaud WB looking in house for the promotion I guess you can say. I wish Diseny/Lucas Arts did the same thing with Dave Filoni. That guy deserves to direct a live action Star Wars movie.

 

[Tg11]

But either way they have to have the right writers for Booster Gold but also they need to stay close to the comic book material too and also the right actor in the role of course

Bravo, sir! I'd love to see Filoni direct a live-action movie at some point!

And yeah, the most important part here is getting the right guy for the part, like Reynolds/Deadpool. And hopefully someone who has great chemistry with whoever plays Beetle.

Yeah, I know that Beetle isn't confirmed, but he HAS to be in it. Why else would he be barred from the CW?

 

[Tg11]

Nathan Fillion as Booster Gold and Alan Tudyk as Blue Beetle

 

[Paradox1]

I don't know how should be Booster Gold but they just to have some comedic chops.

 

[Tg11]

Fillion he has that but at the same time Marvel has him in their universe as Wonder Man but then as for who Booster Gold should be:

Armie Hammer

 

[Mikelus]

Disney should definitely hire Dave Filoni to direct a Star Wars movie, he's more talented than most directors in the business, he's earned it after years of great work.

I agree Armie Hammer could be great as Booster, plus, he had great chemistry with Henry Cavill in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., the Supes and Booster scenes could be really fun.
