Impossible Directors for Comic Films?

[tyler-durden]

I say Robert Rodriguez for Deadpool

 

[Majik1387]

He could do that too even though I think Deadpool is lame. Maybe he'd make him interesting to me.

 

[tyler-durden]

Apparantly we all have different taste in characters, I love Deadpool

 

[Sawyer]

Whedon doing any sort of X-Men film doesnt seem impossible to me...

 

[DawnWarrior]

I say Robert Rodriguez for Deadpool

I wouldn't call that impossible at all. And I think it would be quite good.

 

[Yodaman]

I don't think Rodriguez would make a good X-Men. Don't get me wrong I LOVE Rodriguez, but almost all of his films are very stylized, dark, and ultra-violent, and I really don't see X-Men as any of those. Rodriguez's Deadpool on the other hand isn't much of a stretch.

 

[Buckward]

Spielberg for Superman(duh) and Teen Titans

Robert Rodriguez for X-Men

Joss Whedon for New Mutants/Generation X/Young X-Men

And I don't care what anyone says, Tim Burton is a great director, but I can't think of any comic film that I would like him to direct off the top of my head, besides Batman.

Tim Burton should do a Madman movie.

Well the Spy Kid movies and the Sharkboy/Lavagirl movie were far from being dark or ultra violent.

He has the ability to do it.

 

[TLH]

Quentin Tarantino doing an adaptation of Dragonball Z Manga would thoroughly own. He's the perfect director for a project like that.

Robert Zemeckis would probably do an awesome Spider-Man adaptation as well.

And Martin Scorcese's Punisher.

 

[jignat]

i thought James Cameron would do an awesome Transformers movie-he is a fx guru but his films have a good amoun t of characterization and good plots.
Hes good with ensemble casts also.

 

[tyler-durden]

I'm a fan of Quentin tarantino's films but how his work right for a dragonball z movie?

Agreed with Zemeckis for Spiderman

Yep, combined with Stan Winston, that would be awesome.

Len Wiseman for 'Deadpool'(as long as he can make it a solid R rated movie)

Well, he's shown can direct elaborate, over-the-top fighting sequences with the Kill Bill films. It doesn't hurt that he is a huge fan of Anime in general either.

 

[tyler-durden]

See but his top of action scenes I think would be more Samurai inspired so I could see him adapting Samurai Champloo, but not dragonball (it's too over the top).

Oh, and Len Wiseman pretty good for Deadpool, but it has to be R.

 

[Nightmare]

The first punisher was R. So its not impossible for marvel to do an R. Its just a bit of a stretch.

 

[Riven]

dreams that will never come true:

Superman by Steven Spielberg
Batman by David Fincher
X-Men by Alex Proyas
Steampunk by Guillermo Del Toro
100 Bullets by Michael Mann
Punisher by Tony Scott

 

[Peyton Westlake]

Quentin Tarantino for a bad ass Punisher, possibly a Daredevil re-launch.

 

[Sawyer]

100 Bullets by Michael Mann

I can actually see that happening.

 

[Riven]

I can actually see that happening.

Let's hope!

Now that we know what type of Captain America movie we are getting:

I say Clint Eastwood for director

 

[Hush]

I say Peter Jackson as the director of Thor, yes this is soley because he made awesome LOTR's films.

 

[Retroman]

Michel Gondry, the Coen Brothers or James Mangold.

Spielberg was offered the original Superman, but turned it down to direct Close Encounters.



He already did two Batman movies and worked on the Superman movie.

Actually he's the one who pursued the gig...

Finding a Director... Twice

The Salkinds retained "Godfather" scribe Mario Puzo to write the "Superman" screenplay. "When I said let's make a film, let's make a serious film. I never said let's make a camp film," Salkind explained.
Puzo produced a 500-plus page script that eventually became the "foundation" of 1978's "Superman" and 1980's "Superman II". "We had absolutely decided to make two films because [Puzo's] story was a saga," Salkind recalled.

As Puzo worked on the script, Salkind searched for a director. "Everybody or I would say a lot of them [directors at the time] were very interested. Peter Yates, Sam Peckinpah.... My God, we met a lot of guys, very interesting people. We went to [William] Friedkin, we went to [Francis Ford] Coppola, we went to everyone.... Yates really wanted to do it."

Then there was a relatively new director named Steven Spielberg whose agent kept calling Salkind. "Spielberg was really in the beginning," Salkind said. "He absolutely wanted to make the film."

At the time, Spielberg was still working on 1975's "Jaws" and was largely an unknown. His representation called Salkind repeatedly in Paris. According to Salkind, they told him "'We have this kid who wants to direct 'Superman', he loves Superman, that's his kind of stuff and he wants to do it.' Of course I immediately checked what he had done and went to see his films and immediately said 'OK, this kid's got it - this guy's got talent.' And I went to my father and I said 'Look this is the guy'."

Alexander wasn't convinced. He was concerned because he'd heard Spielberg was over-budget on "Jaws". The younger Salkind was convinced "Jaws" would be a hit regardless. Spielberg also had Spengler's support. Ultimately, Salkind recalled that his father concluded "'let's wait until the big fish opens.'"

"Jaws" opened in summer 1975 and Alexander naturally changed his mind about Spielberg. "I said 'look, he's never going to do it'" now that "Jaws" is so huge. Salkind contacted Spielberg's agent but their window of opportunity had closed. "I called [Spielberg's] agent and the agent said... [he wanted] to do Superman singing and dancing, which was really a very polite way of saying [no]. And I understood it immediately."

[Evil Twin]

Clint Eastwood doesn't strike me as someone interested in "rah rah" patriotism at this point of his career. Or anything with black and white morality. I could imagine him doing Enemy Ace very easily though.

Spielberg does have a comic film upcoming. Tintin.

Alfonso Cuaron needs to do a comic book film. He's one of the few that I'd like to see tackle Sandman.

 

[Sawyer]

I say Peter Jackson as the director of Thor, yes this is soley because he made awesome LOTR's films.

Peter Jackson would be great...if you just want three straight hours of Thor walking through Asgard...

 

[Hush]

I believe his pacing has improved a bit, as long as King Kong was i remember every scene there for a reason (havent seen this film since it came out so i may be wrong) , he makes very good films and Thor is right up his alley.
