One of the architects of some of the most consistently bland movies of the 21st century—and also, admittedly, some pretty decent episodes of Fringe—has just been officially invited back to the drafting table. This is per Deadline, which reports that Warner Bros. has just signed a new multi-year first-look deal with Akiva Goldsman, the screenwriter behind such consistent cinematic shrugs as Batman & Robin; I, Robot; Rings; and, most recently, 2017 Stephen King adaptation The Dark Tower, which bombed so spectacularly that Goldsman was functionally banished to TV for the next six years. (He spent his time in the wilderness over in Star Trek land, penning episodes of Picard, Discovery, and Strange New Worlds.)
