Doctor Goyer Is Strange

Comics2Film was able to confirm with screenwriter-turned-director David Goyer (Blade, Dark City) that he's "in discussions to direct the big-screen version of Marvel's Doctor Strange." The film was in development hell for years at Columbia Pictures. Goyer penned a script for the big screen adventure of Marvel's "Sorcerer Supreme" for Columbia, as did Back to the Future scribe Bob Gale. Dimension Films now has the project.


Goyer told C2F that his chance of directing Doctor Strange "is largely contingent on seeing how Murder Mysteries goes (which I will be writing this Fall)." Goyer will also be directing Murder Mysteries, which is based on Neil Gaiman's short story. Goyer made his feature film directing debut earlier this year on Zig Zag. Goyer was also forthcoming enough to advise C2F that a major casting announcement for the film version of Marvel's Ghost Rider, which he also scripted, should be made in the next few weeks.

– STAX would love to see a good Doctor Strange movie.
