Neil Gaiman

The news about this Marvel Sorcerer Supreme Dr Strange has been doing the rounds for quite sometime. Nobody seems to be confirming anything about it. MTV had talked to the Marvel president of production Kevin Feige who had told them that “I would not be shocked if we saw Dr. Strange” on the Marvel feature film line-up for 2012 and 2013.

Guillermo Del Toro had mentioned back in Feb that he was trying to put together a script for Dr Strange movie with none other than Neil Gaiman. But Premier magazine got us some clarifications on what really is about to happen on the movie front.

Excerpt from the magazine

“I would love to write Dr. Strange. It would be absolutely one of my dream jobs [to write] a Dr. Strange movie,” Gaiman begins. He recalls a story where he visited the set of Hellboy II and talked with Guillermo about Dr. Strange. Apparently Gaiman has been “in very, very early sort of ‘I would to do this’ talks with Marvel” and that Guillermo’s reaction was “Neil, I want to direct it!” With Gaiman and del Toro on board, obviously, Marvel became quite excited, too. But as we all know, Guillermo took on the monumental task of directing The Hobbit. ”

So the project has not really got a red light but it might just take some time for Guillermo del Toro to get a little free. The Hobbit movie is eating into Del Toro’s time. So if he gets convinced that De Strange will be his next project it will be really nice to see what he can do with it. The release of The Hobbit movie will only be done by 2011. So I can’t just wait for this to come out.
