A few months ago, it was announced that Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman would be helming Justice League Dark, which is now officially titled Dark Universe. Liman will be working off a script written by Guillermo del Toro, the film's original director, and it's been confirmed that the project will be a part of the current DC Films Universe. While talking to IGN, Liman spoke about his approach to the film and how he plans to bring something new to the comic book movie genre.

"Yeah, I mean first of all, I love those characters, and I love Warner Bros., and I love [producer] Scott Rudin, and it’s -- and you know, I get asked to come in and do things that are “unconventional.” If people want conventional, they don’t come to me. It’s why doing Invisible was like right up my alley -- because how can you be conventional when there aren’t even conventions that exist? And so you know when Warner Bros. wants to sort of turn the comic book genre on its head, they call me."

It sounds like Liman is excited for the film and plans to give fans something new. The Justice League Dark property is certainly unique on its own, but with Liman directing and Guillermo del Toro and Scott Rudin attached to the movieg as producers, there's no telling what we can expect when Dark Universe hits theaters.

Isn't he attached to a dozen other movies? I don't see this coming out until 2019.

I can't believe we're getting Etrigan on the big screen!

I really want to see this movie being a success, because l really want to see John Constantine and Zatanna get their do justice. John was great in the tv show he was in and the same with Zatanna in Smallville, but now l want to see them working together. I also think it will be great to see Phantom Stranger, Etrigan, Deadman and Swamp Thing in live action too.

Plus if this does well at the boxoffice I hope Shadowpact will be the next magic team to get a movie.
