Speaking to IFC John Carpenter revealed that at one point he was approached for film adaptions of Marvel's and DC's most popular characters. Here's what Carpenter had to say when asked about his stance on directing comic book movies:
"Well, I've thought about it before," Carpenter told IFC. "Way back in the '70s, I was approached to talk about the story I'd write for a Spider-Man movie. They also talked to me about Batman. I had to think about it, but that was way, way back when."
"I've gone through various periods with superheroes," he explained. "They work in the right hands, but they don't work in other hands. It's tricky. But any movie is tricky. It's impossible to say, 'This is what you do in any situation.' So yes, I've thought about it and I'm not opposed to it."
Well, I wonder what that would've looked like? Read more: |
