Look like the next “Superman” movie will come first before, “The Dark Knight III”. Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas, are finally on the hunt for a director for the next Supes flick. They already have a list of directors they are in contact with, different directors hoping to get the opportunity. Those directors are: Tony Scott, Matt Reeves, Jonathan Liebesman, Duncan Jones (David Bowie’s son), and Zack Snyder.
See the article at Deadline, here.
It’s great they are moving forward with the Supes flick. That’s not a bad list of directors there. Honestly though, I would like Chris Nolan to see if he can get Richard Donner to direct again. It would be amazing if Richard would do it again ’cause he would do Superman right.
If I had to pick a choice from that list that Chris Nolan has chosen, I would pick Duncan Jones. Since “Superman” is science-fiction, Duncan Jones is a science-fiction film director. I loved the work he did with the movie, “Moon”. If Duncan did get picked, I’m sure David Bowie would get a small role for the Supers flick. Bowie wouldn’t make a bad Superman villain though.
Look like we’re gonna get a new Superman director very soon here!
