do you want Sam Raimi to direct the Shazam film?

[Starroid Raiders Dagon]

Raimi has such a dynamic, distinctive and imaginative style which comes across in whatever genre he's tackling.

Nicely said! I've watched both Spider-Man movies so many times as my niece was mesmerized by both those movies when she was little. She was glued to the tv when the dvd was on.

I would have personally preferred Joe Johnston to be Captain Marvel's director. I would have liked the movie be a period piece set in the 40's.
Since Cap's comic book hey day was in the golden age. Johnston seems to have a flair for that, his Captain America and the Rocketeer really
captured the look and feel of the time. If you ever read the Power of Shazam graphic novel you could see how it could work on the big screen.
Jerry Ordway's treatment of the big red cheese is amazing there's even a little wink homage of Steven's Rocketeer in it.

Raimi I'm not crazy about, but I can live with it. I'm sure Bruce Campbell will show up in a cameo which I would dig. Heck Campbell when he was younger would have been a great Cap.

Yeah, but at least Affleck and Cavill are still better actors than Maguire...taller too...

Kingdom Warrior, your are right about Johnston, that would be my preference for director and treatment, too if I could choose any.

Johnston for me just has that touch.....and I just think Captain Marvel should be a period piece.....I don't want him mixed in with
the current DC movie universe.

Okay, you got me...I have no comeback for that...

Yeah, Joe Johnston would be good, too. I rate him highly as a director...

I really hope Disney/Lucasfilm choose him as director when they get around to doing the standalone Boba Fett movie, given his strong association and links with the character.

Yeah...I'm not interested in Raimi at all...but count me as another person who thinks Johnston would be a MUCH better choice.

Give someone else a chance...IMHO
