Dan Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Shane Black, director of Iron Man 3, is attached to direct a new adaptation of Doc Savage at Sony. Right now I’ve got this thing at Warner Bros. called Death Note that I like a lot. It’s a Japanese Manga that’s very tense and really cool. And also something at Sony I’m really excited about, something that as a kid I loved. It’s Doc Savage, the old series of pulp novels and doing Doc Savage right, finding the way to get that script correct has been one of the guiding passions of my adult life. If I can get that script and make it happen in the next 90 days or so then I’d love to make that. We would start writing a draft when I get back from this. Three months is about the time in which we get a draft. We should be able to do it in 90 days, me and Chuck Mondry and Anthony Baggarozzi, my writing partners. Chuck wrote the The Cold Warrior and Anthony is working on something for him to direct. He’s been my friend forever and hes a co-writer on Doc Savage. He also wrote something with me called The Nice Guys which never got made but we did a reading in Austin with Tom Jane and we got a very good reaction from that.

Dread Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'd be all for that. It's a tricky property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenalphabro Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'd be game to watch a Dwayne Johnson Doc Savage movie. I don't really know anything about Savage, but hey, it's Dwayne Johnson, I'm sure he'll pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
