One of the many Marvel projects Deathlok may be getting the Director of the Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen movie Derailed, Mikael Håfström. IMDB are still carrying the Director as Paul McGuigan (from Glasgow in Scotland – Yeah!), although they do say he’s off the project.
According to Comic Book Movie, he’s no longer associated though and it looks like Håfström might be going for the chair, although the Weintseins might be fighting for his time.
I’d love to see Deathlok make the big screen, personally – and not just because of the Scottish connection – I’d prefer McGuigan to direct. His past movies certainly look the part. Who do you think should be directing this one, and who should play Deathlok themselves? Here’s the blurb for the movie:
A man unwittingly finds himself the subject of an experiment which slowly turns him into a cyborg, with computer and robotic parts replacing nearly his entire body…
Interestingly David Self is rewriting the script, he also wrote Thirteen Days and Road to Perdition.
