POWER RANGERS Scribe Zack Stentz Writing BOOSTER GOLD Movie; Greg Berlanti Interested In Directing
This one has been rumoured for a while now, but a new report indicates that Booster Gold has found a writer and may have even taken one step closer to landing a director too. Hit the jump for details...
In the wake of all that criticism aimed at the very dark and serious Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros. are reportedly looking for ways to address that, one of which looks set to be a Booster Gold movie with a much different tone to that and Justice League. According to Birth.Movies.Death, Zack Stentz (whose credits include Thor and the Power Rangers reboot) is currently working on the script, while DC TV overlord Greg Berlanti is producing with an eye to direct. In fact, this news was pretty much confirmed when the writer made a recent appearance on Kevin Smith's "Fatman on Batman" podcast, though we've yet to hear anything official from Warner Bros.
The site adds that Booster Gold being in development, "backs up the whispers I have heard that Warner Bros - and especially Ben Affleck - are very hip to what went wrong with BvS, and that the opportunity exists to fix the larger universe." It seems as if the movie is currently on hold and that it won't be the Blue Beetle team-up we previously heard about, but this one definitely has some potential and will hopefully find a place in the DC Films Universe as Warner Bros. look to lighten this world up a little. For now, we're just going to have to wait and see what happens, so stay tuned.
