One of the best things going for Warner Bros.' DCEU is the fact that they are hiring different directors for their movies featuring individual heroes, such as Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and The Flash. Another one of these movies that now seems to be moving forward is the Booster Gold movie, and one of the people that Warner Bros. has brought on to help with this project is Greg Berlanti. While we don't know what his role is as far as this film is concerned, we do know that he helped bring on Zach Stentz to write the screenplay. Stentz has plenty of experience with superhero films, having been the writer for Thor and X-Men: First Class. More recently, he wrote an episode for the television show The Flash. The episode he wrote was "The Runaway Dinosaur," which was directed by Kevin Smith. Both Smith and Stentz appeared on Screen Junkies' Movie Fights, and had this to say:
“I am jumping into the DC Universe with both feet, and I am at least, until they fire me, I’m gonna be writing Booster Gold — for the big screen, for all of my Flash friends.”
So, we have a screenwriter for the film, but who is going to direct it? One person that is interested in the job is Greg Berlanti himself, who said, “I’d probably direct that, or I would want to.” While this doesn't mean that he'll be the one that they hire, he would be a good choice for the film. Berlanti knows a lot about the DC universe. At one point, it was rumored that he was going to produce a Booster Gold television show. When that fell through, it was rumored that Booster Gold might appear on his other television show DC's Legends of Tomorrow, but as we now know, that never happened. Warner Bros. may have nixed that idea so they could save him for their DCEU family.
While Warner Bros. haven't "officially" announced that this project is being worked on, it does seem to be one of the projects that they are focused on making happen. The next question to be asked is who will they get to play Booster Gold? Someone that has been mentioned and who has also showed interest in the past of playing Booster Gold is Nathan Fillion. Now that Castle has been cancelled, this could free him up to play this role if it indeed is moving forward.
Who would you like to see play Booster Gold? Are you even familiar with who Booster Gold is? If you aren't, just ask me, and I'll do a future post explaining who he is in the DC comic book world. You can leave your questions and comments in the section below.
