You folks set your expectations too high. You sit here and talk about wanting top-notch directors, yet complain about the likes of Michael Bay and J.J. Abrams and how they "ruin your childhood".

Don't you think it's time for someone new to take the helm and bring a new vision to the table instead of constantly seeing the same styles over and over?

The constant need of big names is what's gridlocking the industry and stifling creative evolution. Just take it as it goes and ride with it.

I think it's a bit of a narrow timeframe, but it could still happen. Lionsgate has a penchant for having very tight shooting schedules. Divergent, for example, was shot in April 2013, with the movie released in March 2014. Using this timeframe, and considering a July 22, 2016 release date, they still have a few months in pre-production before beginning shooting.

To be honest I'm not one to take place too much interest in directors, but its nice to see someone potentially attached to the project. Give me some visuals and then I'll start being interested.

Divergent really isnt the best example of how to make a quality product in a short amount of time

I won't comment on whether it speaks well for our movie. But in the minds of Lionsgate, it's a possibility.

But yeah it could happen that they manage to bring this out on time. Even if I dont think they should. Just hoping that they announce a cast in the near future.

I like the news. I haven't seen Almanac Project, but I still like the news. Not to jump down the rabbithole of this fandom and bitch at every name except my dream director (Joss Whedon), but honestly I'm just glad it's not Micheal Bay.

At this point I'll take anyone other than Micheal Bay. And Uwe Boll.

I am sure that there's at least one PR fan out there who honestly thought we had a chance at getting Chris Nolan.

Have you seen the summer movie line up for next year? It's pack as hell and the movie is going to be buried alive. The movie comes out in July along with other major movies that come out in July 2016 such as:

Tarzan
Ice Age 5
Star Trek 3 (Star Trek XIII)
Ghostbusters reboot
The Bourne Betrayal

Finding Nemo 2 and Independence Day 2 will likely still be playing in theaters by the end of July.

Robert Rodriguez might have had interest in directing the Power Rangers movie: https://twitter.com/krolljvar/status/586714519415586816
