Doug Liman To Direct ‘Justice League Dark’!

by The_acz

While DC and Warner Bros continue to struggle with launching a critical and profitable DCEU film, that’s not stopping them from green lighting more films.

Announced today in a Variety exclusive, WB has hired Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman to direct a a Justice League Dark movie for DC’s upcoming cinematic universe slate. Along with Liman, Scott Rudin will be producing. Justice League Dark features lesser known, but still loved characters like John Constantine, Madame Xanadu, Deadman, and more as it’s intended to be a darker (obviously) version of the Justice League. While this sounds like a great way to get back on track, the question remains whether or not DC and WB can really bounce back after 3 mis-fires.

According to a recent open letter to WB president Kevin Tsujihara, not only has Suicide Squad been a mess from the start, but Wonder Woman is also having troubles of its own. Only time will tell if they can get back on track with WW & JL, or if they should just jump straight to a standalone Affleck Batman film and soft reboot the universe (it’s never too late.) Tell us what you think in the comments below!

Cameron Crowe’s Next Film To Star Emma Stone

by Scott Alminiana

THR is reporting that director Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, Say Anything) will begin shooting his next film this fall. The yet-to-be titled film, written by Crowe, will be a romantic drama and will star Emma Stone. They are currently looking for their leading man.

The film is set up at Sony Pictures and will be produced by Scott Rudin (Moonrise Kingdom, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network). Crowe’s last film was 2011’s We Bought a Zoo, which starred Matt Damon.

I’ve been  a fan of Cameron Crowe for years, Almost Famous is my favourite movie, so I’ll be keeping my eyes out for news on this newest film. Plus, the fact that Emma Stone is in it only makes me more interested in it and I’m sure the movie will have a great soundtrack!

Random facts: Cameron Crowe wrote the screenplay, which was based on his book, for Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
