Nick Cassavettes to Direct Captain America?

Nick Cassavetes (John Q, The Notebook) is in talks with Marvel to bring Captain America to the screen. CHUD reports that his mother, Gena Rowlands has said that Cassavetes is thinking of doing Captain America, following his involvement with Iron Man.

Cassavetes was attached to Iron Man for a long time before the film was turned over to Jon Favreau. Apparently whatever ended his involvement with Iron Man didn't sour his relationship with Marvel.

Captain America will be a joint project between Marvel and Paramount Pictures. If the film is green-lit, all of the original members of Marvel's Avengers will have a modern film either in-production or already released.

Not sure if Deej and Tronticon are joking or not, but CHUD, in this case, is another movie website. Cinematic Happenings Under Development = CHUD. Of course, it doesn't hold a candle to MovieWeb, but yeah:)

And yeah, I did see it once, when I was like 12 or something. Haven't seen it since. Weird flick, from what I remember.

i think how well iron man does will determin if this movie sees the light of day.
but if this film is done right it most def. has to be a trilogy to get all the pieces of cap. that makes him such a great noble character. you can't skip any of cap.'s history... so i kind of hope that they do the Ultimate version of captain america...to make it a little more edgy yet retaining the essence of the orignal captain.

idk im a lil skeptical on a captain america movie cause they have to get someone to play him that 1. has background in military roles, 2. be able to do hand to hand combat, and 3. at least look like Steve Rogers. good luck finding a guy that fits all those criteria. oh and he has to atlease have knowledge of who captain america actually is.
