Justice League

After the ginormous success of The Avengers, DC and Warner Bros have been scrambling to get to get a Justice League movie off the ground.
A week or two ago the interwebs were all a twitter (see what I did there) that former Daredevil Ben Affleck was supposedly given the opportunity to sit in the director’s chair.
As it turns out Affleck is NOT involved, though he did say that it “sounds really exciting”

BUT according to some Warner Bros sources the directing duo of Andy and Lana Wachowski has been offered the gig.

Andy and Lana Wachowski are best known for their work directing The Matrix (1999) and writing and directing the two sequels The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003).
More recently they released the live action adaptation Speed Racer (2008).
This news comes somewhat because higher-up at WB are supposedly pleased with the movie Cloud Atlas which was written and directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski along with Tom Tykwer.
WB is distributing the movie.

The Wachowski’s style as predominantly seen in The Matrix is one of multiple storylines under an overarching story, something that a team up picture such as The Justice League could massively benefit from.
Also they special effects that the Wachowskis helped pioneer in 1999 had a huge influence on how action movies were made going forward.
It would be interesting to see what they would do with more than a decade of advances to draw on, not to mention a massive budget.
It would also be interesting to see how they handle the different abilities and powers of The Justice League.

While this could be nothing more than smoke and mirrors at this point, the timing of the Wachowski’s names coming up after Ben Afflecks is interesting and would mean a completely different movie.

While I am not a Justice League fan I am interested to see how this moves forward.
