The Official Choose A Director Thread

[Showtime]

This was already talked about two weeks ago...

 

[Showtime]

What in particular is fake? The screentest, Jonah, or...the whole bit?

Did you look at the website this is coming from?

 

[LaraLane]

I am going to wait and see. Everytime something gets posted someone sweeps in here on the trigger to debunk. Just like when ************** site had stuff posted.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Common sense would tell you just looking at that site it's fake. The item about Routh was brought up a week or so back originating from said fansite.

 

[LaraLane]

On comingsoon.net a poster said the original site reporting was from former superman-v staff, and that Rodney confirmed story with themovieblog sources. It may not be hollywoodreporter but I will give it a fair chance.

 

[Showtime]

That's the nature of the forum, if you want to wait and see what some site that looks like it was made by a preschooler has to say, that is your option.

However, that doesn't mean this thread is staying open, that is my option.

 

[LaraLane]

I am not saying you are wrong, could be bs like the rest of internet, just saying it is not bad to discuss potential news.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

That dude checked with zero sources. Was just sent the link and threw up an article about it.

 

[LaraLane]

Oh, well whatever the case it is the internet and it is up so people are going to talk about it.

 

[LaraLane]

What gets me is people who are quick to flame us for considering these rumors, some of which post their own news we do not see a source for either. What makes 1 report more true than another you know? It is all internet mumbo jumbo for the purpose of discussion. Eh.

 

[Showtime]

Jonah may or may not be directing, but it isn't because of some ridiculous generic website that can't even indent never mind spell correctly says so.

 

[Alonsovich]

Yeah... like Nolan the PRODUCER would boot his own brother out of the director's chair...

 

[GreenKToo]

so i'm guessing the bit about routh getting another look is fake as well.

 

[manofsteel4life]

most likely...

 

[DorkyFresh]

if Jonathan doesn't get the job then Goyer shouldn't either. he's directed 3 movies with each one at a lower rating than the previous *ahemmnightshyamalan* there's no way Nolan is dumb enough to hand over such an important project to someone who's proven himself an unqualified director...

 

[JokerLedger]

I'm dead serious... Yes, I am dead dead dead serious.
Warner Bros should just give this thing to Michael Bay.
I just read the news of Jonah and how Goyer is close to being in the director's chair. I don't know what's going on down there in Burbank but if there's one thing I don't want it's David Goyer directing.

Now, the majority of you hate Michael Bay I assume and that's fine. His movies are brainless but they're epic in terms of action and that's one thing this new Superman needs!

Best part of this is that Chris Nolan is actually a fan of Michael Bay movies. When Nolan was discussing TDK with Wally Pfister, the one thing he said was "I want lots of explosions" (loose quote) and dammit did he get them. Pfister said Nolan was a fan of Bay while he himself wasn't.

From all the videos I've been seeing from the TF3 set in Chicago, it looks like to be Bay's most ambitious movie yet... I want to see that level of destruction in a Superman film.

Michael Bay under Nolan's guidance would be beyond EPIC... it would be GALACTIC.

Go ahead... set the dogs on me for saying this!

There's already a director thread, bud.

You're out.

 

[Sawyer]

I still want it to be JJ Abrams, but it'll never happen.

 

[JokerLedger]

You're out.

 

[That person]

Hopefully, neither will get it.

 

[DorkyFresh]

that would be sweeeeeeeeet!!!! but you're right...it will never happen.




i still think Ron Howard would direct an awesome Superman movie, but again....it will never happen.

 

[Timstuff]

The action in his Dan Brown movies was pretty sad though. They should have gotten John Woo to direct that thing and written in a bunch of shoot out scenes, THEN they'd have a movie.

Anyway, I know a lot of people will be pissed if Goyer gets it but I'll give him a chance if Nolan thinks he can do it justice. Personally, I think Fox deserves a lot more blame for Blade Trinity than Goyer does.

 

[DorkyFresh]

good point about Ron Howard, but save the Dan Brown movies i've always found myself immersed in Ron's movies regardless of the action. he always has great scripts and great performances and those are the most important things to me. action used to be at the top of my list, but if i don't care for the actors or the characters then the action is useless to me.
