With the recent reports that Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson is weighing up either a return to Middle-Earth or an entry into the DCEU for Warner Bros, speculation has been rampant about just which DC property the acclaimed director would be a good fit for.
Now Kevin Smith, who has turned from celebrated indie director to geek spokesperson, has revealed via his podcast Fatman On Batman which project he would like to see the Lovely Bones director helm.
"Not to take anything away from Ava, but like yeah, that [New Gods] would have been right up his alley considering [frick]ing Lord of the Rings. Honestly, give him like, I know people will be like 'too soon' but let that mother[frick]er at the Justice League, man, like suddenly you'd probably have the one you wanted to see, I would imagine. Maybe not."
While a New Gods film is obviously spoken for with A Wrinkle in Time's Ava DuVernay at the helm and a new Justice League film highly unlikely to occur anytime soon, a fan present at the podcasts taping suggested an adaptation of Alex Ross' Kingdom Come. Which got the Dogma director very excited.
"Kingdom Come? [frick] yes! Why aren't you running a studio, man? Kingdom [frick]ing Come at the hands of that guy? Oh, we'd all Kingdom Come."
What do you think of this idea? Would you like to see Jackson tackle Kingdom Come? What project would you like him to helm? Leave your thoughts below.
