On the heels of solid news that the “Green Lantern” movie has moved out of Oz to pursue cheaper shooting locations closer to home, there’s this not-so-solid news that Jackie Earle Haley, the new Freddy Krueger in the “Nightmare on Elm Street” reboot (and before that, gritty...

If comic book films are going to continue to be recycled and reimagined, they must be less reverential, more innovative, more relevant; Batman Begins signaled a shift in this direction. James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, the upcoming Ninja Assassins), who is rumored to be under consideration to direct the...

According to Diane Nelson, the new head of DC Entertainment, the studio has no plans to make a sequel to Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns”. Or, actually, anything related to a live-action version of Superman at all. Or as Nelson puts it to MTV: “We actually don’t have any...

Bryan Singer kinda wishes he had stayed onboard the X-Men train and directed the third installment of the trilogy, 2006’s “X-Men: The Last Stand”, which went to the much-maligned Brett Ratner after Singer jumped ship to direct the underperforming “Superman Returns”. I happened...

Will Bryan Singer return to direct the “Superman Returns” sequel? Will the Wachowski Brothers take a crack at it instead? Will Warner Bros. finally give us a Booster Gold movie already before the world ends? All very good questions, without a whole lot of answers. The latest Superman tidbit...

Earlier this month someone who may or may not have existed sent a story to AICN about how he saw on TV that the Wachowski Brothers were going to take a stab at rebooting the Superman franchise for Warner Bros. Obviously as is the case with these “from foreign lands” scoops, you never really...

Only in Hollywood would the idea of “rebooting” a franchise that was already rebooted just a few years ago pass the smell test. If you even considered this idea in the real world, people would laugh at you, call you a money wasting fool, and then probably toss you out on your ass. But in...

I loved Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns”. I loved everything about it, except for one thing: Lex Luthor. Yeah yeah, all the movie critics ranted and raved about how Kevin Spacey was great, about how he stole the show, blah blah blah. But to me, in a movie about what having a real Superman...

On Friday, the Wall Street Journal ran an article that featured an interview with Warner Bros. Pictures Group President Jeff Robinov, in which the Prez talked about his studio’s past, present, and future projects. One of the topics that came up was “Superman Returns”, and the WB’s...

As was the case with Ang Lee’s “The Hulk”, I must be the only movie blogger who thought Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns” was pretty good stuff, and is not in need of a superfluous “reboot”. Granted, I railed against the obscene cartoonish nature of Kevin...

Wasn’t there a rumor a while back that Kevin Spacey (pictured, left) had quit acting? Or am I thinking of someone else? Oh well. The latest Spaceman news is that the “21″ star has openly mentioned that he’s already signed up for the “Superman Returns” sequel, “Man...

There are always crazy rumors (some turns out to be true, believe it or not) circling every major comic book movie property. Batman, Superman, the X-Men — every single one. The rumors around the sequel to “Superman Returns”, to be called “The Man of Steel”, was that original...

It looks like Warner Bros. is having a bit of a problem getting its two massive event films into production, the George Miller-directed “Justice League of America” movie and “The Man of Steel”, the sequel to Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns”. The culprit? Yep,...

I’ve been reading a lot of articles on other movie sites about the upcoming “Man of Steel” movie (sequel to Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns”), and all of the articles seem to be stemming from one Variety blog entry that talks about Bryan Singer not returning to direct...

With the recent news that the original writers of “Superman Returns” have decided (of their own accord!) not to return to scribe the sequel, there’s room for a new writer. One of those people looking to grab a hold of the brass ring is comic book writer Mark Millar, who is most famous...

It would appear that Bryan Singer and The Powers That Be will have to find new writers for “The Man of Steel”, Singer’s proposed sequel to his Superman reboot, “Superman Returns”. According to Variety, “Returns’” original writers, Michael Dougherty and...

Someone who knows someone at Warner Bros. has told the guys over at film ick about the “pitch” that Bryan Singer did for Warner Bros. that got them so excited they decided to greenlight the sequel to the underwhelming “Superman Returns” despite less-than-spectacular box office...

It would appear all those stories about Kevin Spacey retiring from movies to do theater was a tad premature. In fact, Spacey claims he never said he was going to retire, only that he would concentrate more on theater, but still do movies. At least, that’s what he says now. In any case, Spacey seems...
