The world of silver screen superheroics isn't unknown territory for actor/director Film clip. During the early many years of his post-Good Will Hunting career the Academy Award-winner was rumored to stay in the running to experience both Batman and Superman. Then in 2003 he finally got his opportunity to play a comic book hero on film as he top-lined Mark Steven Johnson’s bloated Daredevil adaptation. Although that movie would be a very nice moneymaker for financier Twentieth century Fox the withering reviews and insufficient desire from fans for any sequel kept any more Daredevil features on ice even today. During that time Affleck went from being among Hollywood’s rising star to some tabloid and internet punching bag because of some ill-advised career and relationship decisions to once more being the toast of Tinseltown together with his well-received move into working behind your camera with his well-received dramas Gone Baby Gone and also the Town.
It was the second film that officially launched Affleck on his second career like a prestigious filmmaker; his third film like a director, Argo (which he also stars in), opens the following month and is garnering some impressive buzz so far. On the strength of his previous films and also the soon-to-be-released Argo Warner Bros. signed Affleck to direct an adaptation of Stephen King’s epic apocalyptic horror-fantasy The Stand last October. Now it appears Warners is grooming the greater talented half of the entity once referred to as Bennifer for another huge project the studio continues to be looking to get off the ground for quite some time.
Marvel has been dominating this area office with its shared universe of superheroes, culminating within this summer's "The Avengers." DC Comics however, all the superheroes which are handled by Warner Bros., has had a significantly rougher time of it. Batman really was the only success story to leave DC for years and "The Dark Knight Rises" brought that series to some close. Warner Bros. has "Man of Steel" being released next year and after that the studio hopes to possess its own superhero team movie as "Justice League."
Based on Variety, the studio has become hungering for Affleck to take a seat within the director’s chair for their long-gestating Justice league of america motion picture. The movie have been in various stages of development since 2007, at some point almost going prior to the cameras with George Miller (The street Warrior) calling the shots. The project was placed on indefinite hold with lots of screenwriters taking a crack at successfully translating the best heroes of the DC Universe right into a viable cinematic property. It wasn’t until Marvel Studios’ The Avengers shattered global box office records that Warner Bros. and DC resurrected the Justice league of america feature and tapped Will Beall (the upcoming Gangster Squad) to create the script. To date Affleck is the only director being eyed for that project who has been sent Beall’s screenplay.
