Captain America is about to take form. We have word today that writers have assembled to tackle the story due out in 2011. We get the following announcement thanks to our friends at IESB:
“Marvel Studios has engaged Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely to script “Captain America,” a film that has Joe Johnston attached to direct.
The red-white-and-blue clad hero with the mighty indestructible shield came to prominence right after the invasion of Pearl Harbor as the U.S. declared war on Japan. The hero is the Marvel character most closely associated with the United States.”
This writing duo most recently brought us Prince Caspian and have a handful of other writing projects under their belt including a teleplay called The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. I’m not certain if these guys are the ones I would’ve picked to write Captain America, but anyone who is down with Peter Sellers is ok in my books.
Whatever direction these scribes decide to take the film better involve Cap knocking out throngs of Nazis. There is no better way to start a Captain America film.
