Screenwriter Will Beall (Gangster Squad, “Castle”) was one of two scribes hired by Warners in 2014 to pen drafts for Aquaman in parallel development, the other being Zack Snyder collaborator Kurt Johnstad (300, 300: Rise of an Empire).
In the meantime, he recently wrote and produced the “Training Day” pilot for CBS, which has been picked up for series.
Still, the powers that be must have some faith in Beall’s ability to keep bringing him back on to the DC Expanded Universe.
