But why take a gamble when the studio can find other DIRECTORS that have a proven track record?
It's Snyder with the DCEU all over again.

Director already delivered a polarizing DC film? Let's give him the power over the whole DC universe and let him direct two more movies, because that's obviously the best course of action.

Praying this is just an attempt by Kinberg (positioning himself as top choice through the trades) that is thwarted by whoever is in a higher position.
 
Its one of those things where DOFP is still one of the highest rated X-Men movies and he wrote it, you can look around it anyway you want but he still wrote it, so the next film could end up good.

i'l just leave this here though.

Carry on.

Yes, but Kinberg didn't write DoFP by himself. How much of it he contributed, who knows, but he didn't write that alone. Same goes for X-3 and Fantastic 4. With DoFP, he at least had Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn also aiding with the story.
 
And given how many steps the franchise seems to be taking forward with Deadpool, Logan, Legion, and presumably New Mutants whenever that's out, to fall back on the guy who already has less than promising writing credits doesn't inspire promise.


Kinberg's involved in all those movies/shows.


This is the continuity and stability we've been looking for.
 
Getting some good Co-Writers to polish the script & 2nd Unit Directors to film great looking action I bet we'll look back and laugh.

Yeah and Chris Terrio wrote "Argo" so of course BvS WILL be good. Am I right?

And I'm sure I read on this boards that his script for DOFP was worse than what ended up on film.

Also, Apocalypse sucked.

I can concede that. IF Kinberg gets a promising staff of writers, directors, producers and what-how to work with on the next film if he ends up directing and writing, then yes, there's promise.

But right now, the notion of Kinberg directing and writing feels the polar opposite of what you'd get like the possibility of Matt Reeves directing The Batman or any other acclaimed director possibly sitting in the director's seat on a comic book film...only using Reeves since he was so recent.
 
Honestly, this sounds like a negotiating tactic. Studios seem to have gotten gun shy with giving big budget movies to their long time non-directors recently. See, Star Trek and Flash.
 
Maybe this is a sign for me to finally leave these forums. This place will get ugly (as in, FF reboot ugly) if this goes exactly as planned with Kinberg. Will X-Men be even more ridiculed than when that purple Apocalypse picture was released?
 
We know Singer has had to rewrite dialogue and rework scenes on the fly from Kinberg's script and Ottman, in turn, has had to re-edit messes and rework scenes for a better outcome.

With Kinberg directing something that Kinberg wrote, there's none of that secondary and tertiary filter.

This really shouldn't be something thrust upon a novice director.

We're merely fans and we get this. Why can't Fox?
 
Nothing bad has ever happened when a controversial writer and first time director take the reigns of a big franchise. I mean, look at Blade Trinity. That one is everybody's favorite.

That is true. I do remember parts of the DOFP script being fairly cringy actually. Even if the end result was amazing. :woot:
 
McAvoy's not fan of Kinberg's dialogue so let's hope Kinberg is a collaborative director and lets his actors ad-lib.

So with Singer directing the TV pilot and Kinberg supposedly getting this, why couldn't Fox test out Kinberg's "talent" on the TV show and see how that works out first?
 
Yeah, the writing wasn't exactly the strong point of DOFP

My exact thoughts. Why couldn't Kinberg do the pilot?
 
I thought Singer only jumped on the pilot because they couldn't find anyone that knows the material in a short amount of time?

Helloooo Kinberg?

Seemed more like he was doing the pilot because of his affiliation with the X-Men movies and to just set the pace.

So sounds like something Kinberg could do if he's so adamant in directing? Only with a lower budget and less risk?
 
Singer did the pilot because he will get a % of the profits generated from the program going forward. But Kinberg definitely should helm an episode of Legion or Hellfire/Heaven before taking the wheel of a 9 figure Hollywood tentpole that is the follow up to a critically and financially disappointing installment.

The opportunity may still be there.
No clue what this movie's schedule is relative to others, but the odds are his producer role on everything will keep him from getting that involved with the shows which tend to have even faster time tables.
Singer, at least, has less on his plate.
That could also be the other reason why Kinberg wouldn't be able to do a film with sole witer/director credit.
 
Thing to consider Collider is source of kinberg in talks of directing supernova.
however they were also ones that said there would be post credit scene for
Logan.however James Mangold says there isn't a post credit scene for
Logan.If collider is wrong on logan may be wrong on supernova.

They're unfortunately correct.

I am just comparing the source.if they are wrong on logan they could be on
supernova.Remember once one source says something others like deadline reports on same thing.

The hollywood reporter report basicly said things we already knew and
what collidar said and tried to compare Bryan Singer to Josh Trank.
