It was part of a photoshoot for Empire, where actors revisited iconic roles.

I would love to see this, but something tells me the Safe House jobber will probably end up getting the gig. Surprising, too, as Gibsin is on record saying he is not a fan of the super hero movie movement.

On a side note, where is that picture from? I wanna say it’s some press shot for Braveheart, but Gibson looks much older in it.

I don’t know why any director would consider taking on a comic book film, without final cut approval. It’s such a beloved genre and the potential interference by the studio ruining your vision would seem like such a deterrence, especially with the kind of backlash received when the final product is a mess. I’m curious, in the development stage process of making a film are the attached directors getting paid money? And do they keep the specified money if the studio decides to not go forward with their vision?

Fleischer would capture the tone of SS2. Gibson, well, that seems like a step-down for him to tackle SS2. Maybe he’s planning a trade-off to get a project that he really wants to direct afterwards?
