    Robert Zemeckis Returning to Live-Action & Time-Travel

    DateWed, September 29, 2010

    It's weird how filmmakers you grew up admiring and thinking them as untouchable eventually lose that...well, touch.

    For Robert Zemeckis (the director of classics like Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Forest Gump), no one is gonna argue the culprit behind his spiral has been his dedication to motion-capture films. It started off well with The Polar Express (cute enough movie), but can't repeat the sentiment for Beowulf, A Christmas Carol and a Yellow Submarine re-do.

    But...what's...this?!? He's returning to live-action features? This has to be symptoms from this damn virus that's been killing me since Monday. Nope, this comes outta "TOLDJA!" so it's real.

    Zemeckis is poised to return to not only live-action, but the time-travel genre with the just sold pitch Timeless. No further details are available currently besides the studio involved (Warner Brothers) and screenwriter assigned the job (Mike Thompson). So we'll have to use our imaginations for the moment.

    Hey, so long as he's looking to get back into live action, I hear Superman needs a director.
