According to Deadline, Zemeckis has struck a deal with Warner Bros to direct the film, which will be based on a script by Mike Thompson. The director was also said to be considering helming the Christopher Nolan-produced Superman movie.
Details on the Timeless storyline are being kept under wraps, although Zemeckis's movies have frequently dealt with time travel. He steered the Back To The Future trilogy and both A Christmas Carol and Forrest Gump featured storylines spanning different time periods.
Zemeckis's last three films - A Christmas Carol, Beowulf and The Polar Express - were all made using performance capture technology. His last live-action film was 2000's Cast Away.
