Get Smart director Peter Segal and producer Michael Ewing have been signed to a three-year first-look contract with Warner Bros.reports Variety.The deal includes among other things the John August-scripted comic book film adaptation of "Captain Marvel" called Billy Batson and the Legend of Shazam .
The film follows teen Billy Batson, who transforms into the superhero when he says the word "Shazam!"
At first glance--Segal is not the obvious choice for Captain Marvel...With fingers slightly crossed. a solid scripter, and some casting luck--it could be great--or at least very good or cool.
Segal is also doing a Smart sequel by Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember that is expected to shoot next year.
