Kubrick is dead? Wow, I thought he was living in the enigma's mom's basement with him.

So that's why he didn't make A.I.

Yeah. He's been dead for fifteen years.

 

[Dr. Evil]

He died after "Eyes Wide Shut" was completed I believe.

as did Leelee Sobieski's career.

zing!

 

[Keyser Soze]

Ah, Eyes Wide Shut, a film I believe is better than it often gets credit for being. Though it seems people have started warming to it more with the passage of time. I still love that the last line of Kubrick's last film is, "Let's f***."

New director might be Louis D'Esposito...

 

[Krystal]

New director might be Louis D'Esposito...

.........based on?

 

[Serpico Jones]

.........based on?

Devin Faraci.

 

[Mysteryman]

He was an assistant director on Basic Instinct.
As well of the director of two of the Marvel One Shots.
Item 47 and Agent Carter.
Not a bad choice at all.

 

[seahammer]

New director might be Louis D'Esposito...

I wouldn't be shocked at all. This thought actually crossed my mind earlier as a possibility. Now I wish I'd posted it, so I could prove my clairvoyance.

I remember at least a couple interviews with D'Esposito where he talked about trying out directing. I don't know if it's the best choice for the movie, but it could work out well for LD (if it's true).

 

[Ant-manic]

New director might be Louis D'Esposito...

he'd be a great get if they plan to work young Pym into the Agent Carter series somehow (if that's even possible).

 

[Dr. Evil]

New director might be Louis D'Esposito...

He would fit what Marvel wants.

 

[an_ewok]

I don't think young Pym is going to be old enough for that to work.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Devin Faraci.

Actually it originated with El Mayimbe, who has been in fire with his Marvel scoops as of late.

However, he says that Louis D'Esposito is a educated guess based on what he's heard, and that he doesn't have confirmation yet on whom they have chosen. However, he has confirmed that Marvel had narrowed it down to 2 directors.

 

[Dr. Evil]

D'Esposito is not a surprising name, yet was not brought up in any replacement choices.

 

[Eddie]

D'Esposito is not a surprising name, yet was not brought up in any replacement choices.

None of those people would come into this project last minute with a script that's allegedly studio driven. Look for the new director to be a moderately known director at best, or possibly even Louis D'Esposito (Marvel producer who also directed a couple of the One-Shots).

I don't see Ant-Man moving too far unless Marvel decides they'll start doing three films a year from 2016 on. That mystery 2016 film was probably already a decent way along. I think we'll see a moderately known director (or possibly Louis D'Esposito, who works for Marvel, directed a couple of One-Shots, and has said he'd possibly like to do a film) announced shortly.

 

[First Avenger]

Eh Maybe also said the movie is completely storyboarded.

 

[Mr. Dent]

I'm not sure what the point of doing this movie anymore is. Just introduce Ant-Man in an Avengers movie. This was Edgar Wright's baby.

 

[Dark Raven]

Eh Maybe also said the movie is completely storyboarded.

Maybe he meant the movie is completely waterboarded.

Check the video out guys. Such a shame, but I gotta trust Marvel on this.

I agree with all three statements; but obviously, with cast and crew already attached and prepped for filming in a little over than a month, it's virtually impossible to just pull the plug now. John Carter-level disaster or no, depending on how pessimistic you want to get, this movie will get made.

I just find it interesting that Joss is about to show Marvel and Edgar Wright and fandom how Hank and Janet *should* have been introduced to the MCU with his take on Wanda & Pietro. If the Maximoffs didn't require a whole separate movie to introduce/explain them and their origin stories, Hank and Janet *sure* as hell didn't, either.

 

[TheVision]

I actually kinda like not knowing what to expect from the film or the director.
