I wouldn't mind Nicholas Meyer directing the film! WOW, I never thought of that.
No matter what, Jeph Loeb needs to have a hand writing the script or consulting. Josh Schwartz, while associated with The O.C., Chuck, and Gossip Girl is a very talented young writer and is a HUGE comic book fan, and rewrote Abrams script for the third draft and it was easily the most respectable of those drafts to the source material and character material. Tim Minear or Drew Goddard might do a good job, again with consultation by someone like Loeb or Timm/Dini. I see Loeb/Timm/Dini as consultants or treatment writers. I'm just throwing names out there, nothing I'm dead set on. I throw some more out there later.
Brian K. Vaughn, maybe bring in Alan Ball to write some emotionally charged character driven scene's in the context of the story, David Goyer could take a crack at it.......maybe it should just be me, Matt, and dpm07 taking the reigns with help from Timm/Dini!
John Logan perhaps could write the film with, again, consultation from Loeb/Timm/Dini
