When it was announced that Doug Liman had decided to step away from WB's Justice League Dark movie, IT director Andy Muschiett and Argentinian filmmaker Damián Szifron were said to be on the studio's radar, but now two more names have emerged as possible replacements.

According to Beyond the Trailer's Grace Randolph, Warner Bros. has narrowed the search to Daniel Espinosa and Gerard Johnstone. Of the two, Espinosa will be the the most familiar as he recently helmed sci-fi horror flick Life, as well as the underrated Safe House back in 2012. Up-and-coming Kiwi director Gerard Johnstone would be a far riskier choice, as he only has one feature under his belt - however, that little-seen horror comedy, Housebound, has garnred quite a bit of acclaim.

We'll have to take this with the usual pinch of salt for now, but these guys definitely seem like interesting choices. Thoughts?

I don't trust a thing this woman says. Her track record is spotty at best. She is not a credible source at all.

Safe House was great. Reminded me a lot of a Tony Scott movie when he was at top of his game. Very under rated indeed. I understand the choice for the animated movie but hopefully Batman is not on the team.

I haven't seen Life, but I've heard good things. It just looked kind of generic to me. I hope they get someone good, would love to see the dark, mystical side of DC done justice on the big screen. Throw in cameos from Dr. Fate, the Spectre, and Phantom Stranger and just go all out on the weirdness.
