Warner Bros. Entertainment is reportedly eyeing “Fury” director David Ayer for a new DC project.
Variety reports Ayer is in the running to direct a “Suicide Squad” movie based on the DC graphic novels. Justin Marks is allegedly writing the script for the film.
The DC film reportedly won’t include any major villains like the Joker or Lex Luthor, but Variety claims it’s likely the movie will feature crossover characters who weren’t originally part of the Suicide Squad.
“The original comic series focused on a team of supervillains who were given a second chance by the government for redemption,” according to Variety. “The catch is that the mission they are sent on will likely end up killing all of them.”
Though Warner Bros. hasn’t confirmed a “Suicide Squad” movie, DC has announced an animated “Justice League” mini-series created by online network Machinima.
”Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicle” will reportedly be “darker” and feature multiple DC heroes. The three part mini-series will be the first production of the newly founded Warner Bros. digital content production.
“Ever since we announced the Warner Bros. strategic investment, we have been looking for a new and exciting way to tap into the company’s unmatched content,” Chad Gutstein, Machinma CEO, said in a statement.
“With ‘Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles,’ Machinima will be the very first place fans can experience a new vision for DC Comics’ beloved Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman characters. In addition, we have built a first-of-its-kind package for brands to engage with these characters to reach Machinima’s elusive audience.”
”Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicle” will be released in 2015.
