EXCLUSIVE: Well, there’s one less soldier on the #DC Films battlefield. “Sgt. Rock,” to be directed by #LucaGuadagnino and written by his “Challengers” and “Queer” collaborator #JustinKuritzkes, is no longer moving forward at Warner Bros. and DC Films, TheWrap has exclusively learned. #ColinFarrell, already a part of the DC Comics universe thanks to his role as The Penguin in #MattReeves’ “The Batman” and the HBO spinoff series “The Penguin,” was in talks to play the title character after #DanielCraig dropped out. The issue, one insider noted, came down to scheduling. The film, which would require a lot of exterior shoots, needed to start production this summer and wasn’t going to make its date. Budget didn’t appear to be an issue — it was meant to come in under $70 million, which for a high-priority comic book adaptation, is a bargain. 🔗 link in bio for more on this story. #sgtrock #dcstudios
