Superman Returns Sequel discussion thread
Thanks to TerryRL's post in the box office thread, I found this little item about the SR sequel on IESB.NET:

The studio was quite happy with the way Supes was reintroduced to the world and next time around expect to see him in full action battle mode. We’ve been told that Superman will have the battle of his life in the sequel and audiences can expect one of the ultimate baddies in the D.C. universe to come to Metropolis to pick a fight with the Man of Steel.

I don't want to see the SR sequel sacrifice the characters for action. But I trust Singer to create a film that will satisfy both fans of SR and those who wanted something a bit different.

Weeks before the DVD has it’s grandiose release, the IESB has learned that Bryan Singer has finalized a deal to move forward with the sequel this past weekend and the studio is planning to start production sometime next fall, possibly next September.

"X2" proved Singer can do both.  |

He certainly is capable, I just personally hope he delivers a more balanced film (for me) this time.
I eagerly await the next installment and hope for the best.

Re: *** Official SUPERMAN RETURNS Discussion Thread
Hey All,
I second this thought that the next one could be great, and I hope it is. Singer has proved with the X-Men series that he can balance character and action. I was blown away by X-Men and I think that's where much of my disappointment with Superman Returns lies. But let's see where this goes!
Cheers,
Jason

Re: *** Official SUPERMAN RETURNS Discussion Thread
Singer will pull it off. I personally feel that he doesn't have that far to go to balance it off because I greatly enjoyed what he did in Returns.
Still, I have no doubt, with the threads he's created and left unfinished in Returns, that the sequel will have more drama and more conflict, without sacrificing character that I think he got right in Returns.
I just really love what's going with DC's two biggest properties under the direction of Nolan and Singer. Hopefully, they won't get burned out.

Re: *** Official SUPERMAN RETURNS Discussion Thread
As much as Singer wanted to match his movie with Donners. To me they just seem to be in different universes. I sure wish he ignored Donners versions.

Yep, Bryan Singer is indeed doing another "Superman" film - and word is, General Zod is about to make his first on-screen appearance in the series, since, well, that recent episode of 'Smallville'. Jude Law has always been the favourite for the part, and an insider told me this week that "nothing's changed. They still want Law to be Zod. Depends on finances". Yep, he's alluding to the sequel's lesser budget - it's had about a hundred grand shaved off, compared to the first film - and whether or not Warner can afford such a big-name cast this time around. Surely, they can.

Re: *** Official SUPERMAN RETURNS Discussion Thread
I don't have a problem with Zod, but I know it will piss off a lot of other folks. Thanks for the link, Norm.

Re: *** Official SUPERMAN RETURNS Discussion Thread
I don't mind Zod either but I think they need another Villain like Bizarro or someone else with super powers.

Re: *** Official SUPERMAN RETURNS Discussion Thread
I would prefer a villain we haven't seen before.

Well let's see there is:
Silver Banshee
Parasite
Myxlptlyyx (I know I spelled that wrong)
Bizzaro
Brainiac
Imperiex
Manchester Black and the Elite
Livewire
Satanus
Ruin
Maxima
Mongul
Lobo
and of course Darkseid.
Those are the one's off the top of my head. |
