    Has Captain Marvel Found a Director

    Stephen SchleicherBy Stephen SchleicherNovember 21, 2008Updated:November 21, 20085 Comments1 Min Read

    CaptainMarvel.jpgGet Smart director Peter Segal has signed a three-year first-look deal with Warner Bros. and the first order of business in the new deal is Captain Marvel.  The WB has picked up the John August script, with Segal set to direct the adaptation.

    He and [Michael] Ewing began working on the film two years ago at New Line, but the property has moved over to WB. Pic tells the story of teenaged Billy Batson, who transforms into the superhero when he says the word “Shazam!”

    Why was this film even at New Line to begin with?  DC and Warner Bros. are going to suffer the same growing pains Marvel did when it was signing over its top properties to 20th Century Fox and Sony.  Keep it in house guys and you’ll always have something to fall back on.

    There’s no start date for shooting set yet, nor has a lead been found.

      Um I think you miss typed something.

      and the first order of business in the new deal is “Captain America”.

      and I hope this movie will be good. He is not as iconic as Superman, but he is still a cool character, and a bad movie about him will make me mad at DC.

      New Line is owned by Warner Bros now. It is “in house”.
