First it was announced that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2018\/04\/17\/steven-spielberg-to-produce-blackhawks-film-might-also-direct\/\">Steven Spielberg would be tackling <strong>Blackhawk<\/strong><\/a>. Now, rumor has it that Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson is debating signing on for a DCEU film.<\/p>\n<p>The rumor comes from the Twitter account of The One Ring.net, a typically accurate site that covers all thing Tolkien.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Decisions are being made by Peter Jackson and his NZ crew: <\/p>\n<p>Return to Middle-earth with Amazon, or play in the DC Universe? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tjF7B0PSAX\">pic.twitter.com\/tjF7B0PSAX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; TheOneRing (@theoneringnet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theoneringnet\/status\/994348409573130241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 9, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Return to Middle-Earth&#8221; would be a TV series based on <strong>Lord of the Rings <\/strong>being developed at Amazon. Nothing is known about the DCEU project: not whether\u00a0 Jackson would be only producing or writing and directing as well, nor even what film it is.<\/p>\n<p>The best guess would be Jackson would take over <strong>Justice League Dark<\/strong>, a stalled development film that would be epic in scale, yet tie into Jackson&#8217;s horror roots. If that&#8217;s the case, it would be the second time that Jackson stepped in and picked up the ball Guillermo del Toro left on the field (del Toro initiated\u00a0<strong>Justice League Dark<\/strong> at Warners and was also scheduled to direct\u00a0<strong>The Hobbit<\/strong> before stepping down).<\/p>\n<p>There is also <strong>Sandman<\/strong>, which is housed at Warners&#8217; New Line subsidiary and has been in a state of flux since Joseph Gordon-Levitt stepped away from it. That concept seems to be right in Jackson&#8217;s wheelhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Warners might give Jackson carte blanche to tackle any property in DC Comics history so the sky could literally be the limit as to what the project could be.<\/p>\n<p>Sad part about this is that we might never know. If Jackson choose to work with Amazon, all discussion on what the DCEU project would have been becomes moot.<\/p>\n<p>More on this as it develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">There at best a 50-50 chance Jackson will work in the DCEU.
