Batman director eyes SHAZAM!
November 18th, 2003 by Cinema Eye
Sandy Collora is already the next big thing in Hollywood and he hasn’t even directed a feature film yet. The buzz around Collora comes from a Batman fan-film that he recently shot called Dead End. It featured a classic Batman facing off against the Joker, Aliens and Predators. It pretty much had the fan-bodys frothing at the mouth and immediately put Collora on Hollywood’s radar.
Now Collora is eyeing a big-screen adaptation of SHAZAM! Screenwriter William Goldman has already written the script which Collora likes a lot. Collora told Superhero Hype:
Goldman has truly captured the spirit of Billy Batson’s plight, both as Captain Marvel, and as a fifteen-year-old boy trying to figure out his place in the world. Like it’s tremendously successful predecessors “SUPERMAN” and “SPIDERMAN”, Goldman has stoked this script’s furnace with what most comic book films lack… HEART.I FEEL this film… I SEE this film… every moment, every frame… every ounce of trepidation and frustration Billy feels, every detail of Captain Marvel’s costume, every magnificent beam of magic hour light that bathes his muscular frame with the girl in his arms as he majestically floats skyward.
