Despite
working for Warner Bros. for the last eight years, writing and co-writing
scripts (Nolan’s Batman Trilogy and Man of Steel), David S. Goyer didn’t really
had any kind of a deal with Warner Bros., so Warner Bros. made him one.
The
three year deal with WB includes the Batman vs. Superman, Justice League and
other non-superheroic films, which may be the platform for Goyer to direct.
Per Deadline,
the first project that is included in the agreement is an “untitled Hitchockian
thriller with a grounded sci-fi element that Doug Jung is writing as a
potential directing vehicle for Goyer.”
At the
moment Goyer is writing the Batman vs. Superman, which will be directed by Zack
Snyder and starred by Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman, about
whom Goyer says:
“He’ll
do the role proud.”
Regarding
his deal with WB, Goyer had this to say:
“I
was perfectly happy not having a deal, and just financed the overhead myself.
Warner Bros graciously offered me a deal and they’ve provided the lion’s share
of my employment over the last decade, so what the hell?”
But
Goyer isn’t all feature films, he created the Da Vince’s Demons, which just got
picked up for a second seasn:
“Aside
from me helping the studio break story on some of their properties and them
supporting me as a director, we want to find other projects in an area I could
call elevated genre, and this first project falls neatly into the category.
I’ve found TV to be a more collaborative medium for writers than film, and
there is a ton of terrific writers working in network TV and basic cable right
now. Part of the intent of this deal is to tap that stable of writers and bring
them into the feature world as well.”
