‘Sinister’s Scott Derrickson To Direct ‘Doctor Strange’ For Marvel

After filling the Ant-Man director’s chair vacated last month by Edgar Wright, Marvel Studios has zeroed in on Sinister helmer Scott Derrickson to direct Doctor Strange. “My next movie will be STRANGE,” Derrickson tweeted Tuesday afternoon. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created the character in 1963 as a neurosurgeon who serves as the Sorcerer Supreme protecting Earth against magical and mystical threats with powers of sorcery, mysticism, and martial arts. Marvel’s Kevin Feige is producing the big-screen outing about the Silver Age Marvel superhero and Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Alan Fine, Lee, and Stephen Broussard are exec producing.



Derrickson made his feature writing and directing debut with the 2005 horror flick The Exorcism Of Emily Rose and followed with his first major studio gig, 2008′s The Day The Earth Stood Still for Fox. The Keanu Reeves starrer was a critical disappointment. Four years later, Derrickson returned with smaller-scale genre pic Sinister, which he co-wrote with C. Robert Cargill, produced, and directed on a $3M shooting budget for microbudget maven Jason Blum. Sinister became an $87M box office hit for Blumhouse Productions and Summit. Derrickson’s next, the Jerry Bruckheimer/Screen Gems exorcism horror Deliver Us From Evil, opens July 2. He’s also set to write and produce Sinister 2. The helmer is repped by WME, Brillstein Entertainment Partners and attorneys P.J. Shapiro and Matt Johnson.

Looking forward to his next joint. Sinister isn't one of my favs but it has a very eerie tone that I like and it has balls for a studio flick. After this recent debacle with Edgar Wright though, I'm finding it hard to be excited about any director who signs on to a marvel flick because I don't think it matters

Another "Exorcist/possession" horror movie?:beli:Only thing that may save it is Eric Bana, but we will see

LOL that's why I said it "looks" dope breh. I don't go into flicks with expectations anymore, bad or good. If something looks good I'm always prepared to walk out of it saying it was trash. But there isn't a lot of horror out and you know how horror fiends are
