The Official Choose A Director Thread

has mangold done action/sfx films. i dont recall his film history.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Mangold did in Cop Land, 3:10 to Yuma, and Knight and Day (whatever thats worth)

 

[Webhead2006]

ah ok, yea i knew of his name, i just didnt recall any current films of his.

 

[JAK®]

BWAHAHAHA!

Strong script and performances in Titanic, Avatar, True Lies and the Abyss?

Yeah.

Not to mention the the WHOLE PLOT of his both Terminator movies is a paradox and therefore a giant plot hole. Of that bunch Aliens is possibly the only one that holds a candle on that matter... and it's based on Ridley Scott's seeds.

Time travel is full of paradoxes, I suppose Back To The Future is also a bad movie?

I don't really need to defend James Cameron here, his career and success speaks for itself.

 

[DarkKnight FTW]

James Cameron for Aquaman!!

 

[SuperAl]

M. Night Shamalama! he seems to be doing a bang up job on The Last Airbender. Im just kidding, he'd be a big risk. Im hoping Nolan will consider Directing it.

 

[batlovescatDC]

James McTiegue is my number one pick to direct the reboot. Him, Nolan, and Goyer teaming up would be absolutely flippin' epic.

i thought McTiegue would be good based on how he talked about superman til i saw Ninja Assassin which was a major let down imo. I think he has good ideas but bad execution. Kinda like McG, he had great ideas for Terminator Salvation and when he talked about it, he made it sound awesome but it was poorly executed. I would like someone that has a good ability making things look very cinematic.

 

[Webhead2006]

well how many films has mctiegue done? maybe he can grow into a better director.

 

[Dark Knight]

James Cameron for Aquaman!!

James Cameron is one of the few directors probably in this world that would be able to make a LEGIT Aquaman film quite honestly.

 

[dark_b]

kick ass is a fan favorite. this will get fans on their side. so they got him. plus he knows how to make movies. doesnt mateter if they are the best or if they stand out. he knows how to work with actors and he made some movies.

the question now is do you think superman needs fans on their side. should WB get a small director who fans would like?

make no mistake. just because Kick Ass was like the comics that doesnt mean x-men junior will be like the comics.

 

[Vengeance of Bane]

I think that Neill Blomkamp, the director of District 9, would be an interresting choice. They could take a chance, like they did with Nolan on BB, and let Blomkamp direct it.

 

[GreenKToo]

well, since vaughn is directing X-men, I think we can rule him out now.

 

[Nivek]

mentioned this name before... Brad Bird

 

[GreenKToo]

I loved the Incredibles and Iron Giant.

I like the way you think...maybe it has something to do with your name! And James did make a pretty legit Aquaman in Entourage!

I wonder how ambitious Goyer's script is...

Cause if their is huge Kryptonian mythology involved, and decline of newspapers as was once reported when the Nolan news was leaked, you can sure bet that whatever the real ideas and themes and action Goyer is constructing, they are nourishing in some respect when compared to other consumed mass marketed films. And Nolan usually aims for higher themes in every project he does, so I can rest assured the right notes will be hit and this movie will be engaging in the end.

But since its being fast tracked, WB must be satisfied in Nolan and Goyer's ideas for the action set pieces and all that.

So the potential director is definitely gonna have to be extra smart and ambitious to take on this task, whomever he is. This is all very very exciting. And as an admirer of SR, I feel lucky to be getting two interpretations of the universe so close together in time.

 

[Webhead2006]

i will be happy once we do know who the heck wb is tapping for supes.

 

[solidsnake86]

As if you could actually see that the first time you watched it. Every movie has mistakes.

 

[Webhead2006]

well mistakes like that can happen from time to time not geting caught or a lazy editor.

 

[Sawyer]

mentioned this name before... Brad Bird

I guess it depends on how well he does in live action with 1906.

 

[GreenKToo]

lol. I never saw that. I guess I could find lots of mistakes if I paused it, slowly skipped forward, paused it, slowl...etc etc.

 

[Nightwing1983]

I'd use the concept the same way the old Bond franchise did in the sense that the story would just be another chapter and that it isn't required for you to see the other movies. Sort of like Goldeneye.

Exactly. To me, Superman Returns was too concerned with just telling its own story and had to set up this sequel it was supposed to have with Jason. Ugh.

BTW: I love your icon.

 

[Krug3r]

I guess it depends on how well he does in live action with 1906.

Well, Tom cruise decided not to wait....Brad Bird is confirmed for Mission Impossible IV

 

[GreenKToo]

Yup. All the directors I was hoping would be up for Supes are taking other jobs.
