Coming off directing one
of the highest grossing films of all time with Furious 7, Warner Bros. has
confirmed that director James Wan will be developing and directing the upcoming
Aquaman movie, starring Jason Momoa as the King of the Seven Seas.
The filmmaker is
currently in pre-production on the horror sequel, The Conjuring 2, which is
scheduled to start production this Fall for a 2016 release, which means that with
a release date of 2018, Aquaman should be Wan's next project.
An icon for over 70
years, Aquaman is the King of the Seven Seas. This reluctant ruler of Atlantis,
caught between a surface world constantly ravaging the sea and Atlanteans
looking to lash out in revolt, is committed to protecting the entire globe.
Wan will oversee the
film's script, which is being penned by 300: Rise of an Empire scribe, Kurt
Johnstad. Producing the film are Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, and Charles Roven
who said:
James is not only a
great storyteller but can make action truly explode on the big screen, and
Jason has a dynamic presence that commands your attention. Together, they will
bring an undeniable vitality and energy to this character as he headlines his
first feature film.
But that's not the
only project Wan has suddenly became attached to direct. The filmmaker has also
closed a deal with Sony to direct an adaptation of an 1980's anime, Robotech,
which centers on alien robotic
technology found on a crashed starship and that is used to fend off various
alien invasions.
