The plan of James Gunn y Peter Safran as presidents of DC is to restart its main continuity in style from Superman.
This film directed by Gunn himself opens the July 11 The surrounding projects of the most varied (of Supergirl to a couple of new Batman films), although until recently Sgt. Rock He was not one of them. After all, this character, no matter how long his career in the vignettes has been, has particularities that move him away from the superhero pantheon.
Sgt. Rock was created in 1959 by Robert Kanigher y Joe Kubertlike a soldier of the II World war that lived all kinds of adventures in this war scenario. The character has had a certain tour in the industry (Hollywood wanted to adapt it by tantling actors such as Arnold Schwarzenegger o Bruce Willis) And recently even appeared in the animated series of Monster Command In charge of Gunn himself, but the authentically defining came when Justin Kuritzkes He presented a script that dazzled the leaders of DC Studios.
Gunn and Safran wanted to include Sgt. Rock at all speed in your planning Universe DCand the film planned to shoot this summer. However, IndieWire It echoes a drastic delay in production. Sgt. Rock He was not going to be ready to shoot in a couple of months in England. The problem is that the film needs many hours of light, and that will make it impossible to effectively shoot in England to the winter. So Sgt. Rock You will have to postpone a whole year.
That is a big problem for the commitments of those involved. Apart from that script of Kuritzkes, which above all caught the attention of Sgt. Rock They were the ones who were going to star and direct the movie.
In the first case we ran into Colin Farrell With a new role in DC after his acclaimed work in The Batman and your spin-off for Max, The penguin. Farrell would be this sergeant, wanting to find the legendary Lanza of destiny (The one that nailed Jesus Christ on the cross) before the Nazis. Yes, in the purest style Indiana Jones.
Who would direct Sgt. RockIn addition, it would be Luca Guadagnino having directed the two previous scripts of Kuritzkes, through two films as successful as Rivals y Queer. However, that Sgt. Rock You need to postpone a whole year I could make it difficult for Guadagnino and Farrell to stay in the project. Especially for Guadagnino, known for his hyperactive productivity, which will soon premiere After the Hunt And prepare a remake of American Psycho that would star Austin Butler.
If actor and director fall from the film, it seems quite difficult that Sgt. Rock takeoff. The DC Studios directive may prefer to focus on other projects.
