BARBARIAN Director Zach Cregger Teases a DC Film Project He Wrote Set in Gotham City
Warner Bros. Discovery has made some big changes recently to its DC film division, which is now called DC Studios, and it’s being run by director James Gunn and producer Peter Safran. Fans have high hopes for the future of DC with these two talents in charge.
There’s also a lot going on over at DC Studios in regards to Batman with director Matt Reeves developing a sequel to The Batman, and two prequel shows. One of the shows centers on Colin Farrell’s Penguin and the other is set in Arkham Asylum.
Well, the director of the recent horror movie hit Barbarian, Zach Cregger, also has a DC project that he’s hoping to get off the ground. He recently teased in an interview that he’s written the script, it’s set in Gotham City, and it’s his favorite thing that he’s written.
In a recent interview with CB he said: "I'm writing an original horror currently. There are conversations about existing I.P. franchise that I can't talk about and then there's a script I wrote before Barbarian that takes place, um, in Gotham City. And, uh, I actually love… I think that's my favorite thing I've written believe it or not, so I don't know what's gonna happen with that. Nobody from Warner Bros. or DC. I have not talked to anybody about it. I hope to one day."
He doesn’t offer any other details, but he’s definitely piqued my interest, and I would love to know more about this Gotham City-set story that he’s excited to tell! The question is, will he ever get to make the movie? Only time will tell.
