I think GDT should be the one to step in and direct this, to be honest. If this film has half a chance of getting made, then two things have to happen:
Firstly, Pacific Rim has to be a big hit. Big enough to warrant a sequel. Secondly GDT has has to deeply inhale and let somebody else continue with Pacific Rim. He has to let go of his baby, there and hand it off to a succesion of other great directors (Alien style).
If these two things happen, then GDT will have a modicum of omnipotence in Hollywood. How much omnipotence would depend on how big Pacific Rim is. But if it is big enough to warrant a sequel and Dark Universe is as good as it most likely will be, then WB would be fools not to let this happen.
Especially considering there is an unprecendented lack of negativity from fanboys and fangirls, regarding this project. If WB pays attention to the fans at all, then I urge them to look at all the past message boards on this and even lesser sites (heh) and they'll see that this film has achieved the impossible. It has a resounding and unanimous thumbs up from pretty much everyone.
Except for Levi and those that, like him, desperately crave Hellboy III. But who the hell can blame them for that?

As long as Batman or Superman is the star, I don't care.
Just kidding! This movie will be all sorts of awesome!

This is cool, but I'd rather see a Midnight Sons movie from Marvel Studios....

"Perlman will be Etrigan, Jones will be Deadman.

CALLING IT RIGHT NOW!!!!

STILL HELLBOY 3 DEL TORO GET TO IT!!!!11"


JONES AS DEADMAN!!!!!











Jones is every creature shown above. This man is uber talented!! Mr. Del Toro, work your magic and bring Jones with you on this project!!!

The best thing about this being April Fool's Day?

We can now say that Iron Man 3 is "next month!"

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait until May 3!!

FriggingSmartBobbyGriffs@ And The Losers and Red and Red 2 and Watchmen and Jonah Hex and Constantine and so on and so forth.
This movie would not get in the way of WBs cohesive universe. If it's shit (which it won't be) then it can be easily ignored and if it's awesome (which it will be) then it will only strengthen WBs slate. It's a win win.
This can easily be put out there, without getting in the way of a Justice League movie.

This has me too excited for words. What Gusto@ said, not Dark Universe.

Doug Jones should totally be Deadman. And I like the idea of Olivia Wilde as Zatanna.
And, of course, Clive Owen for Constantine.

sephiroth@ That is Gusto in a thong. He shines up good.

this movie is going to be awesome hopefully wb willput thier efforts into a worlds finest film or JL

Cool if true. He is most definitely one of the villains if he is in it.

And i would be little more original with the cast.
GUY PEARCE or PAUL BETTANY as Constantine (My favorite choices)
DEREK MEARS as Swamp Thing (He is perfect to play this lonely monster)
RICHARD ARMITAGE as Deadman (Make up would do wonders for him just like it does to Doug Jones. And he is great actor who would bring lots of depth to the role)
MICHAEL FASSBENDER as Jason Blood / Etrigan (Well look at him he is born to play Jason and most definitely would rock as Etrigan also. Who wouldnt want to see him play a former knight of the round table bound to a one badass Demon)
CLIVE OWEN as The Phantom Stranger (I dont know if they are still going to put this character in the movie but anyway Clive Owen would be awesome to see as this ghostly figure. Just fits)
DAMIAN LEWIS as The Spectre (My choice was Desmond Harrington but the i saw someone cast Lewis in the role and to me it was alot better. I like Lewis acting more and he is more charismatic of the two. He would bring lots of depth to Spectre)

For Zatanna and John Zatara i dont have any choices.

Also dont wanna see CGI Swamp Thing

wow......normaly this place goes for the rack...but the asstention is delivering!
