The Official Choose A Director Thread

But thats just him...it's too early to put Neil B in that box.

but thats why i am saying lets whait. this was a movie with PJ. let him make a movie without him. obviously he has talent. but what talent.

I think that the Talent is obvious. So what PJ produced D9? Surely you aren't implying that he had a hand in directing it?

Spielberg produced both Transformer movies and they got bad notices. The second one in particular got pretty bad reviews. It's very often not about producers. If the director can't deliver he can't deliver, no matter who's producing it.

one movie is IMO not enough to give him the keys to superman.

Nolan had two movies, neither of which were as successful as D9...and he got handed the keys to Batman.

You make a good piont.

what does it matter how much money district 9 made?

 

[Dark Knight]

Ahh....flavor of the month with Bloomkamp being suggested now as a Supes director?

Whats next.....Bradley Cooper as Superman??

No thanks....lets let Bloomkamp concentrate on his sequel to District 9 first shall we...

 

[I Am Jack's...]

A sequel to District 9 isn't official. He may do it, he may not. Time will tell...

And although he may be a flavor of the month, that doesn't cover up the fact that he has great talent.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well it will be great to hear some day hopefully soon on who wb decides on. Hopefully it will be someone who can get the fans on his side.

 

[SuperAl]

As I SEE SPIDEY said, it's a bit too early to judge if he would use that realistic style again. D9 has been his only full length movie, so I would reserve judgment until we see more movies from him. I haven't heard of his other project you mentioned, and a D9 sequel isn't official, at least not yet.

true, but hes made a bunch of short films and they were all done in the same style.

Personally, I'd rather not have a ''new'' director. I'd rather have someone like Jackson, Rami, or, Cameron.
I know that most likely won't happen though.

 

[kalelkilla]

Matthew Vaughn is interested now...could be good.

It seems a lot of directors are more interested now after the case over the origin is now done. It sounds like the directors feel as if they can maybe create a new origin? I really hope they don't think they can re-imagine Superman too much...

I'd rather not have Raimi, because then I think that the next Superman movie would spend time paying even more homage to the Donner films than Singers did.

I want to see a new product. Donner did great, but I would like to see a new, slightly less cheesy approach to Superman. Raimi already put in enough homages to the Donner Superman films in his Spider-man movies. God knows what he would do with an actual Superman one.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well thats the thing kalelkilla the who knows what and what that means to be used and not used is some complicated. But from what i have been told from some folks wb/dc could still use the origin and all that, but just like they would have to pay for the names of clark kent/superman/lois lane to the families like they have been for the past year or so now. That is what the whole origin deal. Also like i and others have said, if the plan is a full clean slate reboot/restart to the series we need to have a new different origin shown in some way to help show things are different.

I'm not saying rami persay. I'm saying i'd want a director similar to him ie: a jackson, spielberg, or a bay. The kinda directors that have a certain feel to their films ( upbeat, bright in tone, lots of action etc)
An unknown could deliver that I guess, but you wouldnt know that untill the film was released, or untill you got the teaser and trailer.
I'm not deadset against an unknown, but I would prefer a "named'' director.

Vaughn was the guy who was suppose to make Millar's vision of Superman so i kinda doubt that'll happen. I dont think WB/DC want to start of a superman franchise knowing hes gonna die in the 3rd movie and then they have to reboot it all over again. But it is cool to see a lot of directors talking about Superman and what they could do with it, it could mean that a lot of directors are starting to realize that WB has to make a decision to get a movie going soon, so they wouldnt necessarily be wasting their time making pitches that would just sit on a desk for 2-4yrs before anything actually happens with it.

as for Rami and Superman that would be a nightmare. That would prolly turn out terrible, we would end up with a emo Superman dancing down the street of metropolis pointing at women to some 70s song. Bay would try to make it too funny. Spielberg or Cameron would be cool, but i doubt they would wanna do it. Spielberg has been doing a lot of producing lately, not sure if he wants to go back to directing. Cameron has said the only superhero he wanted to do was Spiderman

i want a real serious direction on Superman. I dont want someone going out there with the intention of making a romantic comedy with action included. I want a scary ass villain, and epic action pieces. Ya there should be some humor included but it should be natural thru interactions between characters instead of having Clark Kent fake stumbling around the office and bumping into walls. Make it modern. i think guys like Mcteigue, Wachowskis would be willing to do that.

 

[Venom'sDad]

Believe you me.... Raimi would be a huge mistake.

 

[Webhead2006]

I too like raimi but i agree with you guys he probably wouldnt be right for superman.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Raimi is not going to do it so it's stupid to even get mad or excited about the idea.

Gosh the Raimi haters sure come out to play when his name is brought up.

The funny thing is, if Raimi did do it, it would probably be more successful money wise than what Singer did. Despite my love of the first two Spidey movies I wouldn't want him because he loved Superman Returns and he's more in love with Donner than Singer is.

His Spider-Man movies are basically a vastly better version of Donner's Superman flicks anyway...atleast the first two are.

And yes haters... I know that is my opinion.

 

[dark_b]

i didnt know that he was up for batman forever.

it would be interesting what he would do with superman. it is obvious that the movie would be fun. there is no denial. we can not say that he would cast young actors because in SM they were young characters. a lot of fans want more and more sequels but it looks like SM2 was enough for everyone.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Lets just drop this Raimi thing because it's not happening.

It's more likely that Singer would come back than Raimi come on board and I don't think Singer has a chance in hell of coming back.

No more directors who've directed other high profile superhero comicbook movies.

No Nolan

No Favs

Somebody new please.

Even though he hasn't directed the best scripts (although I liked Constantine and I Am Legend) I like his style so I would give him a shot. Hopefully the script is good though because that is the most important thing about a movie. Your house falls down if the foundation isn't any good.
