He's probably right. Thank god, because Peyton's work is atrocious.

The magic word could transform David F. Sandberg into the director of Shazam!

Sandberg, the filmmaker behind the upcoming Annabelle 2, is in talks to direct the New Line Cinema adaptation of the DC Comics character, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

One of the oldest comic characters around, Shazam was originally known as Captain Marvel. The stories starred teen Billy Batson, who becomes the superhero when he utters the magic word "Shazam!" The name is an acronym for six gods and heroes of the ancient world as well as their attributes: the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Aries, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles and the speed of Mercury.

Last month, news broke that Dwayne Johnson, who has long been attached to play Shazam villain Black Adam, would receive his own spinoff movie.

WB/DC directors…why don't they keep this to themselves until the movie actually starts shooting.

Because that's not the way any studio works...

WB/DC directors…why don't they keep this to themselves until the movie actually starts shooting.

Because that's what all studios do? "Hey Jas, come play AM, but we won't tell you who the director is"

Interview with David F Sandberg at the WonderCon:

Interesting. Didn't see this before. Considering his work, I was just wondering if maybe he was up for the Black Adam solo, rather than necessarily Shazam.

 

[Pickleweasel]

Annabelle is 10/10 on Rotten Tomatoes maybe hear something around comic con if the rumors were true.

Annabelles obviously done so he could be working on it

 

[Rorschach2012]

I think that Dwayne will be calling a lot of the shots so they won't go for a big name director
