Rumor: Peter Jackson Considering a DCEU Movie

A wild new rumour evoke that Peter Jackson may be consider tackling aDCEUmovie . The unofficially titled DC Extended Universe launch only two yr ago and it has already produced four blockbuster movies ( not count Zack Snyder ’s 2013 film , Man of Steel ) , the last of which was 2017 ’s critically - maligned and commercially disappointing cinema , Justice League . While some detractors believe Warner Bros. is going to reboot the universe , that could n’t be the further from the truth . The DCEU is still pushing in front .

At the second , there are three DCEU movies slat to attain theatre of operations within the next two twelvemonth : James Wan’sAquamanin 2018 , and David F. Sandberg’sShazam!and Patty Jenkins’Wonder Woman 2 in 2019 . Then , there are plenty more movies beyond those that are in various stage of development , many of which still need writers , directors , and producer . And one of those movies just might get the likes of Peter Jackson behind them , if a new rumour is to be believe .

The One Ringreports that Peter Jackson and his New Zealand product crew are currently ponder over signing onto Amazon’sLord of the RingsTV serial or joining the DCEU , though it ’s unclear if he ’s considering writing , directing , or producing a DC movie . Both happen to be projects being originate under Warner Bros. Pictures ' oversight , so whatever their determination is , they might finish up working withsomeof the same people anyway , hence the pending conclusion .

Although Peter Jackson has splash around in a variety of project over the yr , he is undoubtedly most well - known for directing and producingThe Lord of the RingsandThe Hobbittrilogies , of which the former is wide considered one of the best movie trilogy ever made . So , it stimulate sensation that Amazon and New Line Cinema ( a branch of Warner Bros. Entertainment ) want Jackson to sour with them on the newLord of the Ringsprequel . It was even reported thatJackson was considering producing theLOTRseries , though that has n’t been confirmed - and we now know why .

Jackson spent eld make grow Middle - Earth on the big sieve , so it also makes signified that he would require to essay something new . The DCEU would be an intriguing , yet an graspable alternative for the filmmaker . Remember , Lord of the Ringsand the DCEU are both Warner Bros. holding and Jackson has a working relationship with thecurrent DC Films chief Walter Hamada , who was a production executive at New Line Cinema during the fourth dimension in which Jackson developedThe Hobbittrilogy . And Jackson would n’t be the first manager / manufacturer from that label to spring over to DC ; just look at James Wan and David F. Sandberg .

Again , this is merely a rumour and should be taken with a food grain of salinity , but that does n’t intend fans ca n’t at least calculate at the possibility . Of all the DC projects Warner Bros. has in growth , a Peter Jackson - directed or producedJustice League Darkmovie would for sure capture the attention of laughable record reader and perhaps even some general hearing . But , that ’s just something we ’ll have to expect and see .
