Marvel has yet to officially announce Hellraiser:
Inferno, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and Sinister director Scott Derrickson as
the man that will bring the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange to the big screen.
In a recent interview, the director was asked
what his relationship with the Doctor Strange comics was.
I think when you consider the
work that I've done it makes sense that he'd be my favorite comic book
character, at least in the Marvel universe. Probably the only comic character
in that mainstream world that I'm suited to. I feel such an affinity for the
character and the story and the ambition of those comics, especially the
original Stan Lee and Steve Ditko "Strange
Tales" - I think those are my favorite of all of them. The entire history
of the comics is extraordinary.
Derrickson then talked about going after the project.
I wanted it really bad. More
than any other project that I've gone after, I felt compelled to do everything
in my power to get on that project. Genuinely felt like I was the right guy to
do it.
Finally, the director talked about prepping the movie, and the reactions from fans,
whom have been supportive.
I think the nicest surprise
for me, the most unexpected surprise, is the positive reaction. Both to me
getting the film - I guess I expected the detractors, and they just haven't
been there, it's all been quite positive. More than that, it's just the general
enthusiasm for Doctor Strange. I think people who know the comic world and the
Marvel universe, they all feel the same way I do, which is, "This is the
Marvel movie we're all ready to see now." This movie needs to exist. The
outpouring of excitement that people have shown is the thing I've been most
pleasantly surprised.
