Shazam Writer Spills The Beans!
By
Writer Bill Birch has been talking to Cinefools about his work on the upcoming Captain Marvel movie; SHAZAM!
This is what he had to say…
The way the story is shaking out, Geoff and I see this not as “dark” as Dark Knight but definitely as cool. It’ll probably end up with a PG-13 rating.
What is the most important aspect you want to bring to Shazam?
Tonally I think it’s important to successfully find the balance of comedy and danger in the story. That’s a major aspect I’m focusing on. Frankly hitting the right tone is what’s going to either get this made or keep it in development hell.
He was then asked whether or not we could expect to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Captain Marvel…
I know that Pete Segal and Dwayne have a relationship that was solidified when Pete directed Get Smart. As far as him being committed? I’m sure it’ll all depend on the script. That being the case I don’t write with anyone in mind.
