Zack Snyder To Helm New Superman Movie
Director Zack Snyder has officially been hired by Warner Bros. to direct the upcoming “Superman” film for the studio. Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas, the minds behind “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight” are producing the film.
Neither Snyder nor the production team has leaked much information about the plot of the film. Snyder, when asked in a phone interview, said he’s been awake at nights thinking of the upcoming project and that he knows Superman will have to be a man; beyond that he had no comment on the plot or casting.
Snyder is well known for directing “300” and “Watchmen.” He is hoping for a production schedule that gets the film into theaters by the holiday season in 2012.
I hope someone at Warner Bros. reads all of the comments on this site. Superman was the first superhero that I encountered when I was a Kid. For some reason he was the only REAL superhero. Now I guess I am kind of a unofficial Superman Historian. It’s the first story about an alien from another planet that came to live with us and save us instead of destroying us. Earth is his home planet now and U.S.A. is his country.
Here is a list of things that I would like the people at Warner Bros. to at least take a look at before doing any more damage to the Superman franchise.
1. Brandon should remain Superman, the new Superman costume is a really nice evolution.
2. Superman should be seen as a God-like savior of Earth, Not a week lovesick puppy.
3. Remember, Clark Kent is Superman’s secret I.D. Not the other way around.
4. Superman is both an unstoppable force and a immovable object. He has absolute power and knows nothing of self doubt.
5. Superman stands for “Truth, Justice, and THE AMERICAN WAY” !!!! He is after all a naturalized American citizen who loves his country.
6. Show us the Superman of today and beyond. Everybody knows Superman’s origins. He is after all the first superhero EVER.
7. Superman is a BAD ASS, show that to everyone in the theaters.
8. Less of Kent, More of Superman doing his thing. Please see #3.
9. Please give Superman a super enemy that will push him to all of his limits.
10. Lex Luther is supposed to be totally mentally disturbed, insane, unstable, and ruthless, yet his intelligence is beyond calculation. Like the Joker with a brain, less hair, more money, and a plan.
11. Lois Lane needs to be really Hot, Like 11 out of 10 hot, swim suit model hot. Not some single mom.
12. Superman is NOT a DADDY.
13. Superman is to be shining example to all mankind.
