Movies

Stylistically they're apples and oranges, but both are very good story tellers, and Whedon's probably the better writer...

Whedon's great with stories, and getting him locked in to a long term development deal where he gets to work on one of their big projects and they finance his ideas, much like Nolan with Batman/Prestige/Inception, could be mutually beneficial.  

I doubt very much that Whedon's ever winning an Oscar, which Nolan probably will eventually, but I don't think Whedon cares and if they give some of his film projects a push, and he develops shows for them, we could see some good things come out of it.

So not really comparing their capabilities as directors, just their ability to get a story together that people want to go see.

Disney Investor Conference Call: JWHED confirmed to direct [AVNG2] Antibody Aug 07, 14:25

Ahh, Marc Graser reports for Variety Antibody Aug 07, 14:28

Now Deadline has it. Exciting stuff, being that Whedon expressed doubt at this past Comic-Con over coming back. Marvel/Disney's gain. eallensbp Aug 07, 14:36

That is caled negotiating. Tanker Aug 07, 16:23

Some say that. I was thinking more along the lines of bargaining, since Joss had shows he couldn't get to while doing Avengers. eallensbp Aug 07, 17:35

Disney should do like Warners did, use Avengers to go into the Joss Whedon business like Batman and Nolan {nm} LanceStorm22 Aug 07, 18:46

You seriously can't be comparing Nolan to Whedon? Nolan is at least 100X the filmmaker TV refuge Whedon is. {nm} MrSmitherz Aug 07, 20:50

box-office-wise, I think Whedon is now comparable to Nolan {nm} tealfan Aug 07, 22:28

he needs something original to be a big hit before Whedon's on Nolan's level {nm} robb1138 Aug 08, 05:10

Yeah cause no one ever did a Batman movie. {nm} tenchi7 Aug 08, 08:27

He means movies like Inception. Whedon only has Marvel property that is a hit {nm} warclock Aug 08, 09:45

I can't help but laugh remembering a thread here on how awful an idea it was to have JWHED direct the first one. {nm} mrbeankc Aug 07, 15:42

Can't wait for another mediocre, bland-looking movie! {nm} MrSmitherz Aug 07, 17:13

is that what the 1.4 billion dollar movie was? {nm} nicadmous Aug 09, 12:31
