The Official Choose A Director Thread

It seems like Peter already knows the answer to James as a possible Superman director, as he has yet to post the full interview. Anyone else get the feeling it's going to be a "No"? :(
 
I don't know. I have a feeling it's a "no comment' from James, which means squat at this point.
 
haha.

But seriously...Peter isn't the type who would pull that type of crap on his site if the answer is a flat out 'no'.

no or no comment.
i am 100% sure that he wont say yes
 
that's for sure. we'll see because if he does say yes to Superman, it WOULD HAVE TO BE his next film unless he get his other films, like The Raven, out of the way before 2011.
 
Ya i was going to post that bit of news myself but you got to it before me. I wonder if it will be anything more then no,maybe, no comment.
 
If The Raven is a smaller film, it could be wrapped by 2011. I don't know how far along it is, but I got the impression that they have a script and are ready to start casting. If that's the case, I don't see why they wouldn't be filming sometime in early/mid 2010. Give him a little break, start pre-production on Superman. Do the press junket for Raven, again likely to be small due to the smaller nature of the film perhaps, and go back to working on Superman full time to begin shooting late 2011.
 
Ya i was thinking that too, the raven could be shot in a short amount of time, and i think slash said they are already looking to cast that film, so it could be shooting in the fall/early winter and be done filming wise by early 2010. And if he is picked for superman it still give him time while doing this raven film for writers to get on board write a draft, and inbetween the raven start prep work for supes. As for that slash film writer has he given any more details yet about James possible envovlement with supes yet?

As for the 2011 date i was wondering and i asked this a few days ago have the details say when by 2011 they have to have a film in production, does it have to be happening before jan 1st 2011 or do they have through the whole year of 2011 to have something going. Because if its start of the year we then just got 17ish months to get things moving, but if its by end of 2011 they would have about 25months or so.

Last week IESB reported a rumor that Warner Bros and DC Comics were in talks with Andy and Larry Wachowski to produce a Superman reboot directed by McTeigue. I asked James if there was any truth to the rumors what-so ever, and he laughed kinda nervously, and paused for a second, before giving me an interesting non answer:

“You know… I… I would say… I’ll keep you guessing, actually. It’s good not to dispel every rumor, right?”

James had been so forthcoming on previous questions, and quick to deny false rumors. I hate to read too much into his answer (or as it may be, his non-answer) but his hesitation seems to suggest there might be something to it. Maybe there have been some early talks, or possibly it is something the Wachowski Brothers are developing. But the non denial seems rather odd, especially coming off of denials on a handful of other rumored projects.
 
McT baby yeah! I'm hoping this pans out.

maybe he talked with WB .
 
^^ I'm getting that vibe.

Maybe he doesn't want to ruin anything he has going on with WB right now.

I'm becoming more and more excited. We've got too many rumors going around for there to be nothing in the works for Supes...right?!
 
Interesting, McTeigue certainly could have denied any such talks about him possibly directing but he didn't. Especially since he denied the other rumors addressed to him before the Superman question. I really hope he gets the gig. I think there is a lot of potential in a McTeigue Superman film, plus he fits exactly what the studio is looking for in their next director. It all makes so much sense.

did Larry chop off his balls yet? or is he still midway in transition?

anybody know?

Because if they are indeed doing the reboot, then they will be the wachowski brother and sister.
 
Interesting development. That's about the answer I was expecting. It will be nice to finally hear something concrete though. If we hear that WB has brought McT/W's on and has Grant Morrison (and/or Johns, Wolfman, etc) writing the story, then I will believe this project is happening. Granted that doesn't mean it can't fall apart, ala JLM and Superman Lives, but at least will know that an actual film is being developed.
