Speaking to MoviePlot<\/em><\/a>, Roman Coppola, son of Francis Ford Coppola and second unit director on\u00a0Bram Stoker’s<\/em> Dracula The Darjeeling Limited<\/em>, and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou<\/em>\u00a0revealed that he had very nearly made a Doctor Strange<\/em> movie back in the Nineties.<\/p>\n

‘I was a huge\u00a0comic\u00a0book\u00a0fan growing up, within reason,” said Coppola. “I was a fan of\u00a0Spider-Man<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and all that stuff.<\/p>\n

“Actually, I met Stan Lee 15 or 20 years ago when Marvel had the worst reputation for their adaptations. They had made a really terrible Fantastic Four<\/em><\/a> movie and some other things. I met him with my dad and we said, ‘Oh, wow, I wish we could be involved. How great would it be to make a really accurate version of one of these films?’<\/p>\n

“I had the aspirations to make a Doctor\u00a0Strange<\/em> movie, which I worked on quite a bit. I ended up coming out on the other side, since I told someone I was working on a\u00a0comic\u00a0book\u00a0movie and they said, ‘Do you really want to work for a studio to get pushed around for three years and not make something that’s personal?’ To make a movie like that where I could really use my sensibility would be fantastic. That type of work now is a product, and there’s a manner in which it’s made. Now I think it’d be better to spend those three years to do something better.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
