The Official Choose A Director Thread

[Showtime]

That poll is very old. when the threads were merged that was the best of the bunch of polls. I merged 18 director threads together to get this one.

Some of you wanted it clean. It is going to be clean.

 

[Webhead2006]

I understand why you did it. Hopefully we can not go to crazy with our debates.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Alfonso Cuaron

 

[Webhead2006]

hmmm

 

[cerealkiller182]

he seems a little dark for Superman. I think he'd make a kickass Kamandi.

 

[Octoberist]

Alfonso also directed The Secret Garden so he's versatile enough.

It's funny I've never thought of him. For sure he'll be a great choice but I don't know what he's working on right now.

 

[jaymes_e06]

Aparently Alfonso will be directing the new Tomb Raider movie too.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I've been pimping Alfonso for the longest.

 

[Octoberist]

I doubt Alfonso doing Tomb Raider. Heck that project isn't going anyway (yet).

Yeah, I think Alfonso would be awesome.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Oddly enough I want him after seeing his work in the dark and fantastic Children of Men.

 

[Alonsovich]

Brad Bird...

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Live action and animation are two different things, thats what gives me pause about Mr. Bird but he is a fantastic director so I wouldn't be crying.

He is on my list by the way.

 

[Octoberist]

again, let me states that he's working on 1918 for Warner Bros...and it seems like he's stuck in development hell due to the costs of the movie. Warner Bros...hmm.

if district 9 will be good and if SHH didnt change i expect the name Neill Blomkamp to be mentioned for some months.

 

[GreenKToo]

Any more rumblings on McTeigue?

 

[Octoberist]

No doubt that he will be brought up to a whole slew of comic book adaptations, especially DC/WB.

I say that because pretty much, the Marvel adaptations pretty much have their directors set up already so...

And with Halo..Neill was attached to it (with Peter Jackson as producer) three years ago. Now that Speilberg is attached and trying to greenlight it again, maybe Neill might come back to it. Or maybe not.

 

[Octoberist]

Brad Bird...

Let's say Brad Bird doesn't get the Superman gig, I would love for him to do The Flash.

 

[MadVillainy]

I mentioned Blomkamp a while ago so it would be cool if ppl get behind him as director after District 9 comes out.
I mean just by the trailers look at the CGI/SFX and that was with 30 mill budget. Of course he had no big stars so the actors didnt cost much

 

[El Payaso]

Brad Bird...

We need him back in The Simpsons.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

We need him back in The Simpsons.

Wouldn't that be great?

isnt district hes first full movie?

i say lets whait at least 2 movies. let him make at least 3 movies. and then lets see. and it would help if he would make a movie where i know that PJ is not close to him and maybe helping him out. i am not against PJ helping him. but if he is behind hes shoulder then this could mean that its not everything from him. with Halo we know that Neil would nto make alone this huge big budget movie. PJ would be a big producer and he would help him out.

plus at comic con i think Neil made it very clear that he wants for now to make smaller movies. both he and PJ explained that with a low budget movie the studio is not demanding things. with a 200 movie you need to get the masses in the theater. and you dont always make a 100% movie that you want.there is also more pressure.
if i would be him i would do first some small movies. he has a great teacher(PJ) .

but even if district is a fantastic movie its still hes first full movie. sometimes some people have luck . and this is a movie that he wanted to make. we dont know how he do with a script that is not from him and where studio has demands.

superman from Matthew Vaughn

Looked fine for what that was, but I definitely don't think we missed out on anything special. Compared to that, Singer's visuals look far more interesting to me.

The intent of your post felt like "look what he coulda done etc..." and in my mind, I thought well...what we got was a lot better.

I now see you meant it as a little chuckle.

My bad.
