Who should direct "Captain America"?

[Hypestyle]

have the doc strange rights fully reverted back to marvel? I hope so..

 

[Loki]

no one

 

[The Man of Steel]

Peter Berg

 

[Gotham]

Carnahan did mention that he would direct and write a Captain America film should he be given the chance.

 

[WalterKovacs]

Somebody who can make a smart, intelligent, emtionally honest, thrilling, dark but fun and patriotic movie about america and the nature of war.

Jarhead meets 300 meets starship troopers meets The Incredibles

JJ Abrams or Sam Mendes.

 

[WalterKovacs]

Or Brad Bird or Ron Howard.

 

[WalterKovacs]

Or Paul Greengrass.

 

[Gotham]

Or Paul Greengrass.

As long as he didn't shake the camera rapidly during every sequence, I'm fine with that.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Mendes works

holding the camera like a shivvering elderly person with no fingers

 

[Metamorpho1977]

I say Wolfgang Petersen.

 

[p.marlowe]

Terrence Malick or Tony Gilroy.

 

[GNR]

Michael bay is effing awesome.

Style over substance mostly sure,but a style like no other.

 

[kedrell]

Personally I can't stand Bay's lowest common denominator style. It's junk food for the brain.

And?

It works for Bad Boys and The Rock and car chases and shoot outs

Just not for The Island which should have had more social commentary

 

[Franklin Richards]

I want Clint Eastwood for this project.

Hey I'm sure some people like that music video type stuff, but I grew up on John McTieran & James Cameron action movies and compared to them Bay's stuff will always appear to be fluff.

I like those guys too, but i feel like people expect Hitchcock-like quality from Bay (before someone says something, Im exaggerating ) His movies are superficial, I take them at face value.

True and that's why I avoid his movies. But we're talking about a Cap director and I'd rather not have one that's going to make it superficial. I mean a Cap movie should be just a little less serious than Saving Private Ryan. But still quite dramatic. Bay can't do that.

I totally agree. Im a fan of Zwick for Cap. I just defend Bay cause pretty much no one else does

 

[kedrell]

I like Zwick, he'd be a great choice.

 

[Bubonic]

A France magazine, Cinelive, said it was still Nick Cassavettes. I wouldn't have a problem with him... Then again I have no clue which direction this movie will go in.

 

[kedrell]

All I know of him is that he directed The Notebook. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for a Cap movie but maybe there are other films he's done which argue for him in a better way.

Just checked him out on imdb, not too promising.
Two of his movies have a passing grade, his first one has 80%.

3 of these movies seem centered around love and relationships, John Q just plain sucked, and I've heard mixed reviews about Alpha Dog.

Nothing about him screams out Captain America is all I know.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Nick Cassavettes wanted the Son vs Dad conflict in Iron Man and called Iron Man's suit a flying tin can when he was suppossed to direct IM before Favs and company took over.

Hopefully he's got better ideas for Captain America.
