Superman Starting Over
We have an update concerning the the future of the Superman franchise. It seem as if the folks at Warner Bos. is scratching their heads about where to go with sequel to the 2006 blockbuster.
Warner Bros. is mulling over their comic book movie future right now, from their long in-development Justice League of America movie to Batman 3. But one particular project that appears to be bedeviling the studio most is their sequel to Superman Returns, which was considered a box office underperformer given its hefty price tag.
The project, reportedly titled Superman: Man of Steel, has lingered in limbo ever since the Bryan Singer-directed Superman Returns opened in 2006. It was reported in March that Singer would reprise his directing duties for the sequel, which he previously said would feature more action and spectacle. (Returns writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris will not be back.)
But now, according to an item today from Variety columnist Anne Thompson, Singer’s involvement is not such a sure thing after all.
Thompson blogged, “Today I was told that it is a priority at the studio to find the right direction and if Bryan Singer is willing to do that, fine, but if he gets in the way, he may not stay on the project. There are no writers working on a Superman script now. The studio wants to figure it out. ‘It might be better to start from scratch,’ one exec admitted.”
So what do you think of the possibility that Singer might not be involved? Sound off in the comments section below!
