September 30, 2010: Add Robert Zemeckis to the Possible Director List

The merry-go-round of directors who could possibly be in line to direct the next Superman movie has just had another name added to the list.

According to Deadline.com, Robert Zemeckis (best known for films like Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, and Cast Away) is looking to come to work with Warner Bros.

Zemeckis and ImageMovers have been cozy-ing up with Warner Bros since Disney shuttered its Marin County animation facility ImageMovers Digital earlier this year. Even though Zemeckis once seemed comfortable directing pictures exclusively in the 3D performance capture process he pioneered in Polar Express, Beowulf, A Christmas Carol and the upcoming Beatles pic Yellow Submarine, Zemeckis has lately been rumored to be kicking the tires on such live action projects as Superman.
