THE LORD OF THE RINGS Director Peter Jackson Is Reportedly Considering Helming A DC Comics Movie

Peter Jackson is no stranger to epic ensembles after helming The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies but if a new report is to be believed, he may now make the leap to the DC Films Universe...

The One Ring has been a reliable source of information over the years and they've now revealed that Peter Jackson and his New Zealand production crew are currently mulling over whether or not to sign onto Amazon's hugely budgeted Lord of the Rings TV series. That makes perfect sense, especially as the filmmaker's involvement would generate a great deal of excitement from fans of the franchise.

However, the site also notes that Jackson is thinking about taking the helm of a DC Comics adaptation, something which would make perfect sense given his relationship with Warner Bros. and the fact he's yet to enter the epic world of comic books, a genre which has quickly overtaken fantasy movies. 

Nothing is set in stone and there's no word on which project the director would be interested in taking charge of. Justice League would be pretty perfect but after the response to the first instalment, it's hard to imagine Warner Bros. wanting to return to that well just yet. After all, the studio has left Green Lantern on the shelf for the past seven years since the 2011 movie starring Ryan Reynolds bombed. 

Which project do you think Jackson would be a good fit for? Let us know your thoughts down below.
