Marvel Hires a B-Movie Director to Helm THE INHUMANS IMAX Episodes
Marvel and ABC have hired feature film director Roel Reine to helm the first two IMAX episodes of their new series The Inhumans. Reine has worked on a ton of B-movie film projects such as Death Race 2, The Marine 2, The Lost Tribe, The Scorpion King 3, The Man with the Iron Fists 2, Hard Target 2, and others.
The list of films should give you a good idea of what we can expect from The Inhumans. Those films definitely aren't the greatest movies in the world, but some of them have been fun and entertaining. He's probably not the director I would have gone with, but let's see what he ends up doing with the property and the characters. He must've had a great pitch meeting with Marvel, otherwise he wouldn't have landed the gig.
The Inhumans TV series is expected to focus on Black Bolt and the Inhumans royal family, and the first two episodes will be shot entirely in IMAX. Dexter and Iron Fist showrunner Scott Buck will serve as showrunner on the series.
This seems like an incredibly ambitious project for Marvel and ABC, and I really hope their creative team can pull it off and give us something incredible, something we've never seen before. I don't know if asking for a mind-blowing experience is too much to ask, but that's what I want.
The first two episodes will debut in over 1,000 IMAX theater on Labor Day weekend. The series will then start its eight-episode run on ABC on Tuesday, September 26th, 2017. All eight episodes are expected to run on the network over consecutive Tuesdays, which means that the finale will air on Tuesday, November 14th, 2017.
