Doug Liman Comments on the Status of Justice League Dark

Doug Liman who’s directing the Justice League Dark live action movie, recently spoke with Collider on the status of the film, during his press junket for his latest film The Wall.In the interview Liman goes on to talk on how he’s excited to work on Justice League Dark and then goes on to talk a bit on the status of the film, confirming he doesn’t yet know when it’ll go into production.

What’s the status of Justice League Dark? Is that something that you’re still looking to get to work on?

LIMAN: Yeah. I have a really amazing take on it, that is in keeping with my approach to superheroes. Jason Bourne is a superhero, of sorts. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena, in The Wall, are superheroes. They’re very grounded, but the amount of training and stuff that soldiers bring to the field, they’re like Iron Man. If they open up another pouch, they’ve got another thing. It’s amazing, how resourceful they are and how much stuff they bring into the field. They’re like superheroes. So, I’m really excited, with Justice League Dark, to actually look at what it’s like, if I actually tackle a real superhero, but it’s not gonna look that different from my other superheroes.

Do you know when you’ll get that into production?

LIMAN: No. I have to have a passionate connection to my films, which I do with Justice League Dark. I have a way into the story that’s personal, the way I have a connection to The Wall. Not that I’ve ever been a soldier or been in the field, but the level of perseverance and the fact that Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena just keep picking themselves up when all seems lost, I feel a connection to that. I feel like I have a little understanding of that because, in my own way, I’ve had moments of despair and that all is lost, and I’ve picked myself back up. I feel a real connection to Justice League Dark. But part of my process is that, when I finish a movie, the movies I choose to do after it are guided by the experience I had on the previous movie.
