Joel Schumacher and Warhammer 40k.
That's a match oddly made in both heaven and hell. On one hand Schumacher knows how to do over the top with extra ham and cheese. On the other hand the ham 40k calls for has to raw, bloody meat and the cheese rotten and liquefied. What I'm saying is Schumacher's over the top is the completely kind of wrong OTT 40k calls for.
OT: - M. Night Shyamalan and Avatar: The Last Airbe... oh wait.
- Zack Snyder and Berserk. After suffering through the first episode of the new Berserk adaptation, I felt that was basically what we got with it. I said this at the time, but I'll repeat: Berserk is not an IP where the action and violence are supposed to be "cool man!" or "woah!" or "holy shit dude!". It's supposed to be stomach churning, gory, sweaty, heavy, dirty and unpleasant, which Snyder just has no eye for. Even with Watchmen's more grounded violence he had a sort of leery sensibility about it with the slo-mo, close-ups and camera angles, not to even mention Man of Steel's Dragonball Z antics. That sort of thing has a place, but Berserk is very fucking definitely not it.
- Christopher Nolan and One Punch Man. Considering his tendency to make movies like an engineer or a machine, a colourful action saga that basically lives on massive spectacle, explosive personalities and off the wall humor, no well known director would IMO be less suited to direct it.
