I wasn't originally going to talk about this and I am super late to the party when reporting this but I have been slacking in June blog entries and decided to finally do this. The new Ant-man director is Peyton Reed the director of Yes man and Bring it on. I haven't seen any of his movies except for Bring it on, it isn't that bad of a movie and it's actually very funny but it's one of those movies that are pulled off thanks to the actors rather than the directors. He's seems more of a yes-man which is why I think Marvel/ Disney hired him which I hope Marvel pulls a Russo and turn into an awesome director by giving him very good support. This was obviously a last ditch choice as many people are either too busy to take on this project last minute, don't want to deal with the fan comments of "He's not as good as Edgar Wright" or are friends with Wright (he has a lot of friends in Hollywood) and have too much respect for him to take over something he poured all of his sweat, blood and cornetto ice cream into since 2006.
I am not as excited for this film as before, not because of Edgar Wright leaving as I have never really been a fan of his films (don't hate but haven't been that terribly interested) and I love the cast. What makes me nervous is the fact of all the turmoil this movie has been under and the chances of it becoming a bad movie overall. Unless I see a trailer or hear really big interesting news my wallet has kind of retracted from buying Ant-man tickets.
