Peter Segal ("The Longest Yard," "50 First Dates") has come aboard to direct Shazam! -- an adaptation of a DC Comics' comic book series featuring Captain Marvel -- for New Line Cinema. The Hollywood Reporter says Segal also will produce along with Michael Ewing via their Callahan Filmworks.
The comic series focused on young Billy Batson, who becomes the superhero known as Captain Marvel when he utters the magic word "Shazam!" The name is an acronym for six gods and heroes of the ancient world as well as their attributes: the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Aries, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles and the speed of Mercury.
Writers on the long-gestating project include William Goldman and Bryan Goluboff.

According to Jo-Blo, New Line wants Jake Gyllenhaal to be the new Captain Marvel. They want to pay him tons of money and get him before Sam Rami does for Spiderman 4.

From John August's Website:
According to the internet, Jake Gyllenhaal is playing Captain Marvel. I’ll be sure to let the studio, producers, and director know.
Sigh.
It’s frustrating how in the digital age, random speculation turns to fact in about .003 seconds. And once it starts, it’s like a tire fire: any attempt to extinguish it merely creates a lot more smoke.

Is Marvel Comics going to file a lawsuit because the Captain Marvel name will be used?

I over heard to people in my aprt complex talk about the new Shazam movie. I live in LA and it did sound as if they were writing it. I think they moved out like three months ago though.
