Two Writers Currently Working on 'Aquaman' Movie Script

Couldn't they have just gotten DC writers?

I want a Flash movie. And a Shazam movie too.

Awesome Aquaman film, hope its good.

I really hope the movie doesn't suck.

Awesome Aquaman is a seriously underrated character with a great rogues gallery. Hopefully this will film will wake people up to that fact.

Pleae don't eff this up.

I believe they are hiring Shyamalan

I was excited until I saw the track record for these writers. I swear, sometimes I think WB gives the worst writers to non Batman or Superman characters on purpose.

@knightfall225: wooo hooo! AQUAMAN IS AWESOME!

They'd better not half ass it.

well there goes one of those dates dc reserved. i want to see mera, garth, political/royal intrigue and just all out coolness with my man orin. would love a flash back to how atlantis sunk and about the curse that marked orin as the destroyer of atlantis, giving him many obstacals to over come to take his place as king.

like?

@i_dont_like_comics:

• Black Manta
• Charybdis
• King Shark
• Ocean Master
• Scavenger
• Siren
• The Dead King
• Deep Six
• The Trench
• Hagen
• Slizzath
• Marauder

Not funny, I used to love that guy but now I don't want him anywhere near DC characters.

was expecting James cameron but it's still good

they could use Oceanmaster with a different backstory.

Gangster Squad and 300: Rise of an Empire were pretty awful and I'm not so optimistic.

Jonah Hex comes to mind. I saw the trailer for that, and remember thinking "this looks incredibly baaaaaaaad. What the hell were DC thinking?"

Then I read the reviews for it, and I was happy that my suspicions were correct, but also sad and angered that my suspicions were correct.

Warner Bros. could at least try asking Bruce Timm or Jay oliva to write or direct a DC project this were the guys that made DC cool with their animations also couldn't they have gotten Peter Jackson since he has directed most of Warner bros. properties. But I hope these writers suprise me.

I hope they name it King of atlantis rather than Aquaman e.g the man of steel rather than superman or the dark knight rather than batman returns again.

Yikes!

Was hoping for some better writers

Shots bro.

Did they just confirm an Aquaman movie before Wonder Woman?
This is pretty cool news, new 52 made me a fan of Aquaman.

This.

YES! If only it was confirmed... and had better writers... maybe Zack Snyder could direct this movie because of his love and support of the character. Hook-hand! Beard! BATTLE-HARNESSES! Atlantean science not magic. Please don't have Aquaman have mystical roots. I would much rather highly advanced Atlantean weaponry. And giant sea-creatures! Like the Kraken and the new 52 topo. M. Night Shyamalan!

Give me Jason Momoa as a blonde Arthur and redhead Emilia Clarke as Mera. It's good news to have an Aquaman film but these writers kinda suck.

So I guess I'm the only one who liked 300: RoaE

@amazingwebhead: I also hate BBT i was only trying to show that this Tv series that as a great audience (+ - 20 million per episode) and play s in all world, could influenced general movie going audiences...

Starting in B v S as bad a. with j. Momoa, could be good to broke his stereotype, but remember the movie has to be good, and Zack Snyder did not deliver yet, movies are subjective, and i respect if you liked Man of Steel, but it was a movie that divided audiences.

@t_aesir: Yes, I understood your point. If it helps, I hear that Superman will be more like his classic, "takes more priority in keeping civilians alive" self the new movie (if I'm the only one who'll cut him some slack for his lack of experience and given that he was outnumbered and evenly-matched, then fine) which is one of the main things the audience was so divided over

They believe movie writer will do a better job.

Its called Hollywood logic

I am the only one that believer they should let the director work like Nolan did, work with the script writers he wants.

Also David S. Goyer did comic books, they should call Geoff Johns, i mean he at least didnt made Gangster Squad and 300 2.

Also didnt we get that Aquaman dont need to be an Angry Captain Hook Metallica Fan in another thread.

@smashbrawler: sorry i meant we as in comicbook fans. but i guess these two are writing different scripts, competition does bring out the best in people right? i hope im right haha

@amazingwebhead: ok... I want to dc succeeds, and be able to create another superhero universe, but some of Dc fans only see things in the fan perceptive, and movies are very different from comic books.

geoff johns wrote a couple episodes of arrow, hes not movie writer...

@fil123: There is a bunch of comic book writers that write movie scripts, everybody has to start at some point, also i am saying they should call him, not that he should do the script by himself.

I'm really happy that Aquaman is getting his own live-action movie.

But I'm not too sure about the writers.

Then again, seeing how James Gunn wrote the scripts for the two live-action Scooby Doo movies and made a really awesome comic book movie, I think the writers will write a good script and maybe a director like James Cameron, Alfonso Cauron, or Neil Blomkamp will re-write the script and make it better.

That is, if the filmmakers are fans of Aquaman.

ya i know, i would be 110% down for them to do the story, but leave the script and details to a good director/writer.

like if johns and terrio worked on JL together

You have to remember this would be hard, since Snyder is doing the JL movie, so it would mean they would had to work with his vision of the character.

Is hard to believe many directors would be happy to work this way, besides its what made Edgar Wright quit AntMan.

Also directing and writing arent the same job.

Pretty excited to hear this, I love to see more superhero movies. Hope that it is good.

You all see my avatar....pencil me in .....

I enjoyed it, but I did like the first one better though.

YYYYEEEEESSS!!!! SO EXCITED!!

So do I, but I still thought the second was really enjoyable

Given the annoying levels of darkness, hopelessness, and angst out the wazoo the New 52 has brought, I just don't get why they consider that a bad thing.

You're right.

I really hope Zack doesn't butcher Aquaman.

@jonny1995: I just hope he understands Aquaman has a rich story and dont need to change, do what Geoff Johns did, like the character for who he is, not for who he wants him to be.

Let Aquaman be Aquaman.

It would be cool if the new Aquaman movie was based on the New 52 Aquaman series.

How can I be excited when I know the writers are awful!

Can't wait for what's in store!!!
