DC bringing in horror-comedy writer to fix up the Justice League Dark script
When we last checked in with the long-gestating Justice League Dark film, director Doug Liman had walked away from it to go make sci-fi actioner Chaos Walking. At the time, Warner Bros. had said it hoped to name a replacement director “shortly,” which we now know means “longer than three months, because here we are at the end of summer and there’s still no one helming this thing.” But if nothing else, at least the studio is still trying to make the script better: Deadline reports writer-director Gerard Johnstone has been tapped to do a polish on the screenplay for the superhero team-up film.
