Luca Guadagnino to Direct ‘Sgt. Rock’ Film at DC Studios, Colin Farrell to Star

[Lootpack]

Following their critically acclaimed collaboration on Queer, The Dish hears that Oscar nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino and Daniel Craig are getting back together for Sgt. Rock at James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Studios. Actually, this is poised to be Guadagnino’s next directorial before Lionsgate’s American Psycho reboot as we hear the screenplay by Challengers and Queer scribe Justin Kuritzkes is in good shape. We’ll let you know when these guys are ready for action.

No deals have been inked yet between DC Studios, Craig and Guadagnino. The project would indeed rep quite the deep universe departure from Gunn’s upcoming Superman which is expected to kick off his new DC’s Gods and Monsters Phase One, the Supergirl movie and animated series Creature Commandos which is debuting on Max on Dec. 5.

Luca and DC Studios…never thought I’d see the day.

Sgt. Rock is a deep dive, I would've expected Jonah Hex first but the last one did suck.

EXCLUSIVE: After winning practically every single award out there for his turn as The Penguin, Colin Farrell is looking to get back in business with DC, and will star in the title role of Luca Guadagnino’s SGT Rock.

Note, this is a different part of the DC-verse, The Penguin being part of Matt Reeves’ The Batman sphere, whereas SGT Rock is part of DC bosses’ James Gunn and Peter Safran’s oversee. The two worlds shall never overlap.

Scheduling for the film, which Farrell wants to do we hear, has to be balanced with his busy fall which includes the second season of AppleTV+’s Sugar, Edward Berger’s movie The Ballad of a Small Player and Sony’s romantic drama A Big Bold Beautiful Journey with Margot Robbie and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
