“Justice League Dark” Film Moving Forward with Director Doug Liman

The long-gestating “Justice League Dark” movie — which has also gone under the name “Dark Universe” — is indeed happening with “Edge of Tomorrow” and “Bourne Identity” helmer Doug Liman attached to direct.

Due to Liman’s commitment to direct “Justice League Dark,” he’ll no longer helm the X-Men spinoff movie, “Gambit.” Sources say Liman’s departure is a “mutual split” between him and the studio, 20th Century Fox.

According to Variety, revered filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth,” “Pacific Rim”), who was originally set to direct the project, and contributed to the original script, is still attached as producer.

The site notes that the team featured in the film will consist of John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna and Etrigan the Demon — all members of the super-team in the original DC Comics series.
