We have yet to see a full film from the new dc studiosBut one thing is alredy clear. It has no problem making, or not Making, a movie depending on its readiness. Case in point, a Clayface Movie was greenlit seemingly out of nowhere Because the team was so excited About the script, and now seemingly the opposite has been with Sgt. RockThe Military-Themed Dc Story From Director Luca Guadagnino, Said to have Colin Farrell CirclingIs “No longer moving forward.”
The News Comes from The wrap as well as The Hollywood ReporterNeither Publication Had a Specific Reason Behind the Project’s Cancellation, Except that it wasn’t budget-Related. In an update on x, the wrap suggested that Scheduling may have been an issue,
Thr did have some details on its status Thought. Apparently, Casting was slowly happy and one role, “A Female French Resistance Fighter,” Had Been Set. The story was said to follow sgt. Rock, the resistance fighter, and a full team to find the spoare that stabbed jesus christ during his crucifix. IO9 has brought out to DC for comment or Clarification and will update the story if or when we hear back.
To recap, Late last year, news broke that guadagnino and his Challengers collaborator justin kuritzkes had pitched dc on a way to brings Sgt. Rock Into the DC Universe. Daniel Craig was assumed to be circling giving his working relationship with guadagnino, but that was soon debunked. Later, Colin Farrell was said to be considering the role. It was described as “a really compeling story about Heroism in a time of armed conflict” But Gunn and Safran have Always said they are available to force anything that isn’t working. And that seems to be the case here.
That’s a long way of saying this is probally a good thing in the end. You’d Always Rather a movie that isn’T luckly to be good not be made than talented people spend years of their lives on something instantly forgettable.
