1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. Filmmaker James Gunn, who

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: became co head of DC Studio as this past November,

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 1: didn't have to look far for the director of the

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: first high profile DC film to be produced under his leadership,

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: because he just confirmed Superman Legacy will be directed by himself.

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: It makes perfect sense because James has been personally writing

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: the screenplay for a couple of years now, but wasn't

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: a hundred percent on board to direct it until now,

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: tweeting just because I write something doesn't mean I feel

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: in my bones visually and emotionally enough to spend over

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: two years directing it, especially not something of this magnitude.

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: But the long and short of it is, I love

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: this script and I'm incredibly excited as we begin the journey,

14
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: James says. The emotional core of this script is focused

15
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: on how Superman's real parents from an aristocratic alien family

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: form his adoptive farmer parents, and both inform who he

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: is and the choices he makes, both good and bad.

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: Superman Legacy is due July of twenty twenty five. That's

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood,
