film. They should take the Batman Begins approach... basically do a Superman Begins
film, except call it something else... like maybe Superman: The Last Son of Krypton.
And they need to make Clark Kent as interesting as Superman. Perhaps they should
focus on his need to fit in rather than just making him a clumsy nerdy disguise for
Superman.
Warner should drop Singer and let the writing/directing duties for the next Supes film go to ME! I can make this sucker.
No argument--I'm not a big fan of the show. I'm just saying that there's no way anyone could have missed the SUPERMAN origin story by now. We don't need another one. Skip it. Get to the story of Superman crushing bad guys with his arms of steel and then blowing freeze breath on them until they FREEZE and then crumble into bits. And then burn up the bits with his heat vision. And then proceed to kick somebody's ass clear to Pluto, which is still a planet, dammit.
Batman one and they changed that. They must start anew, at the beginning if they want.
New theme, new suite, a total change of direction that does not reference or hark back to
Donner in anyway. Even give Kevin Smith ago just keep it away from the following people=
Josh somthing the Buffy guy
Nic cage
Brian Singer
McG.
but no doubt the studio wants to cash in, so if they do a new movie, please no reboot. i'm tired of rehashing old ideas.
We definitly don't need an origin, the first superman movie accomplishes that already, just get a new director, and make a new superman movie, it doesn't have to be a reboot in order to improve on the last one.
how about a movie with the death of superman storyline, bring in Doomsday to kill off the stupid Superkid from the last one right off the bat and then go from there
im tired of the boring old formulaic superman kryptonite blah blah..lets have a different take on the story. of course the main elements should be maintained; his origins et all but im pretty sure theres a nolan-esque director out there who can bring a whole new look to this ready to milk franchise!
If Singer doesn't have the direction that the studio wants, then sorry, he needs to move out of the way. If people are still crying about artistic merit and integrity at this point in time, we have all but lost any chance of good big-budget cinema. Like any business, a Hollywood company has executives and board members looking for the best way to make money. No matter how great a story a writer/director may have, if it isn't deemed successful than sorry, you need to rethink it to their standards, maybe fighting a bit, but not biting the hand that feeds. But if the two collide and we have a box office smash and good/great/excellent movie (e.g Dark Knight) then perfect!
At this point, complaining about Superman Returns doesn't bring us a great new Superman movie. Once again on the familiarity topic, L.A is FILLED with people trying to make a name for themselves, and if not of those people have a good idea for a Superman movie, then what is that town good for? It's because of the strive to keep only the known and prosperous in Hollywood around that creates this terrible amount bad movies. Bring in outsiders, whether it be a film school reject (an actual one, but maybe Neil Miller has a kick-ass supes script that needs to be unleashed) or one of the thousands of writers/artists in the comics biz. Brad Meltzer (who is also an author) penned one of the best mini series in a while with Identity Crisis, if he could bring that magic to a nice screenplay we would all be talking about how much we can't till mm/dd/yyyy not "OMG BRIAN SINGER IS GREAT" "NO HE'S NOT, HE RUINED SUPERMAN AND IS TERRIBLE, DIE SINGER".
*Heavy Breath* I'm done.
FRANCHISE... new actor, new director, new everything. Just start the
Superman franchise fresh without any association to the previous films
within the franchise, just like Batman Begins did with the Batman franchise.
flying his hair is messy, and then when he comes in for his landing, his hair
is perfectly combed. That's another thing that's got to change in the
Reboot... Messy hair for Superman!
... FFS ...PLEASE .. enough with the annoying, intrusive, distracting background music filling every goddam second of the flick.
Its sad, I thought Singer would have something, but I am tired of the Donner Crystal
superman. We need a new approach.
Kevin Spacey was pretty dope, but we need Brainiac!
action there was was breath taking. I see it almost in the same way I see the Ang Lee Hulk
movie. Just not enough true superman action, and too much lovey dovey Lois Lane bull
crap.
And what about that friggin kid?!! what the hell was that?! That added nothing and in my
opinion, this whole focus and worship of Dick Donner and Chris Reeves needs to end
already.
San Dimas High School Football Rules!
Christian Bale rules as well.
I'm telling you, I'm the guy to make this movie.
Picture this:
Worst person on the face of the planet, worst most vile supervillain you can imagine.
Superman pounds him, crushes him, and then smashes his bones into coal, and then into diamonds. And then he flies out into space, spins the Earth's rotation backwards to reverse time, and does it again.
NOW THAT'S a Superman movie.
I would find out years later that I could have just pressed Ctrl-Z. Crazy computers!
Here's a novel concept, bring in a villian with comperable powers to Superman or a host of villians, ala Darkseid and then have Superman go to town. Hell pick up any of the comics from the last 20 years, pick a frigging compelling story line and make it. How hard is that when you have it right in front of you?
OR BOTH
go X2 on it's ass and get moving!!!!
