In the story, the site is reporting that that Back to the Future trilogy director Zemeckis is considering a new time travel adventure called Timeless. Says Deadline, "It's a big tent pole picture that will be written by Mike Thompson. Zemeckis and his ImageMovers will produce. Deal is mid six-figures. Zemeckis and Image Movers have been cozy-ing up with Warner Bros since Disney shuttered its Marin County animation facility ImageMovers Digital earlier this year. Even though Zemeckis once seemed comfortable directing pictures exclusively in the 3D performance capture process he pioneered in Polar Express, Beowulf, A Christmas Carol and the upcoming Beatles pic Yellow Submarine, Zemeckis has lately been rumored to be kicking the tires on such live action projects as Superman."
While hardly a proclamation that he is even in the running, it nonetheless raises an interesting possibility. What are the thoughts regarding Zemeckis as a possible director for Man of Steel?
