LIGHTS OUT Director David F. Sandberg Reportedly In Talks To Helm The SHAZAM Movie
Looks like we finally have some movement of the long-in-development Shazam movie, as a new report indicates that Swedish filmmaker David F. Sandberg is in negotiations to step behind the camera.
Though we've known that a Shazam movie was in the works for a good while now (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been attached to star as Black Adam for years), there hasn't been any word on who might be in line to helm the picture... until now.
According to The Wrap, David F. Sandberg is in talks to direct for New Line, though they make no mention of how far discussions have progressed. Sandberg made his feature debut with the creepy horror flick Lights Out last year, and he's also set to direct horror sequel, Annabel 2.
Though we still don't know who will actually portray Shazam, AKA Captain Marvel, Dwayne Jonson will play Black Adam in the film, as well as in a spin-off for the villain which is also in development at New Line.
Until we get official word on this it'll have to remain a rumor, but if it does turn out to be legit, what do you think of our (possible) Shazam director?
