Doug Liman Promises an Unconventional Approach to 'Justice League Dark'
Justice League Dark is happening. Despite an animated film seemingly closing the door on a live-action offering, back in August it was revealed that Doug Liman would lead the way for the team-up film in the wake of Suicide Squad's success.
The Justice League Dark takes on the supernatural threats that plague the world of the DC Universe, and while Liman spoke primarily to IGN about Edge of Tomorrow 2, he did drop some exciting hints at his DCEU venture.
"I mean first of all, I love those characters, and I love Warner Bros., and I love [producer] Scott Rudin, and it’s — and you know, I get asked to come in and do things that are “unconventional.”
"If people want conventional, they don’t come to me. It’s why doing Invisible was like right up my alley — because how can you be conventional when there aren’t even conventions that exist? And so you know when Warner Bros. wants to sort of turn the comic book genre on its head, they call me."
Liman hopes to take the genre and bend it in a way that hasn't been done before. “I haven’t done a comic book film, and that’s — am I going to do it in a new way that’s unlike what anyone else has ever done, and come up with a couple of rules for myself of what we’re not going to do that other people do.”
