The Official Choose A Director Thread

[Excel]

I will say, the fact that he went out of his way not to deny must mean there is *something* going on with Superman, whether it involves him or not.

 

[Webhead2006]

Ya at least some talks probably, if he wasnt having any discussions with wb about it or they to him i would think he would have clearly come out and say no i am not invovled at this time with any superman project. Hopefully it pans out for us so we can finally get something confirmed soon.

Really? A James McTeigue thread?

Thats what happens when there is no news for 2 years

Some desperate actions are taken!

Really? A James McTeigue thread?

If it turns out to be bogus your free to close it. Plus its the only relevant news surrounding this otherwise dying film franchise.

Also is it really that big of a stretch making this thread? There is a "What pop song would you pick for the movie" thread for god sake.

Whoever gets picked as director, I hope he can get Superman off critical support.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea you have a point right now him and the brothers is the only names we have been hearing of lately, and i see no harm with this thread to its proven true or proven false.

Thats true. Good point!

Ppl are going crazy with lack of news!

 

[Webhead2006]

yea so true since SR and nothing solid ever coming out from wb its been getting bad. Hopefully things have or are currently in a changing process for wb and dc and they can and will get supes in place and ready to go by the court deadline.

 

[GreenKToo]

If there is anything to it, more rumors will be coming out in rapid fire sequence.

Really? A James McTeigue thread?

It's an interesting diversion. As long as no one starts bickering, I don't see the harm.

He was the second assistant director on Dark City. Must have been a hell of a time shooting that movie!

He may be perfect actually for what needs to happen right now for the WB and Superman. That is to say, a director they can set mandates on (Routh/Brainiac/budget etc) whilst letting him work in his own way delivering the studio a film with spectacular action whilst not being obnoxious garbage.

He can stage and shoot really dynamic action scenes and handle introducing stronger science fiction elements, like Brainiac. In my opinion, V for Vendetta did a great job of showing lots and lots of great character moments.

I'd be pretty relieved if this happens.

You know, I really hope CGI is not overused this time. No need to have a CGI Superman up close when an actor would be better.

Agreed. SR way overused the CGI Superman. It was especially distracting at the end of the film for the final flight.

McTeigue is an interesting choice.

 

[GreenKToo]

I cant say i'm excited or disappointed to hear hes rumored. I would like to hear what he had in mind first. Thats *IF* he even gets the job.
Still, hearing some names other than singer is exciting in its own right.

I think it is a stretch relating to the number of directors they have talked to and probably are talking to. We'll see I guess. For god sake!

I'm glad you approve...

I'm just surprised.

He DOES indeed fit the type of director they are and should be looking for.

 

[Lobo]

Surprised not to see this in the McTiegue thread, but he has addressed the rumors. here you go http://www.moviehole.net/200920153-mcteigue-on-superman-rumours

Personally, I hope he gets it .

 

[Kal-El Fan]

That article really doesn't say anything new.

 

[GreenKToo]

yeah, we saw that yesterday. It was from a different site tho.

 

[solidsnake86]

I saw the trailer for Ninja Assassin and it looks cool, if he did get chosen at least you know there would be action. I guess this thread is better then the superman casting thread which goes around in circles, or a trianlge with the three people being Welling Cavill and Routh, lol.

Now that Green Lantern is going forward, I guess its a toss up between the flash and superman for the next bigger heroes in there stable. What do you guys think the next annoucement will be regarding one of there characters.

 

[GreenKToo]

I would say Superman for now. We've heard more rumblings regarding it.

 

[Superark]

Probably Superman before Flash. We haven't heard really anything about Flash in a long time, other than Geoff Johns was contributing to the story outline.

I would love a Flash film! James Roday for the lead all the way!

But I want to see another Superman first

 

[Webhead2006]

I too hope they dont go over board with cgi when its not needed.

 

[solidsnake86]

The flash already has a writer which IESB broke the news on that and if Johns, Morrison and Wolfman were hired in fall 2008 something tells me that progress was made on it. I guess we'll see if they announce a director at some point, but that means they could have a story for superman as well.

Mimicry used as sarcasm, how funny.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Lol this is stretching it as far as a new thread.

We've been discussing this already for days, including the so called statements from him.
