First, I don’t see the need for a reboot. ‘Superman Begins” was a great movie, exceot for the wooden acting from the lead.
Second, the dudes who did the Matrix movies are not a good choice. They made (how many?) THREE Matrix movies? The first qualifies as a cult hit, and more for special effects and ‘tude. The remaining two were … meh.
Thankfully, it’s not going to come off.
Remember that report that showed up on AICN last week claiming that The Wachowski Brothers had been offered a reboot of Superman? Sorry to get you guys all excited but I have just gotten confirmation from two independent sources that the report was completely false. I don’t know if an interview with James McTeigue actually aired on RTL1 or not (I’m guessing not) but The Wachowski Brothers have definitely never had any talks with DC or Warner Bros to helm a Superman film. This is confirmed.
Good. Right now, I am getting worried about the upcoming Watchmen movie. I bought the comics when they first hit the shelves. I’m hoping they didn’t worry too much about the design and the graphics than they did the story.
In Watchmen related news, Entertainment Weekly is pimping six variant covers. But I am 99 percent certain this is utter B.S.
i thought routh did fine. lois lane/kate boswell was awful, spacey/luthor so-so and the plot mind-numbingly painful. superboy? agh! Im not advocating the wachowski bros, but yet another ‘do over’ is fine by me. i’ve always wanted to see brainiac and bizarro in a big budget movie.
watchmen? i will be there. i will probably see it at least twice no matter how bad it may be. hopefully i’ll be the koolest kat around for telling my non-comic-geek friends to go see it. if not, won’t be the first time my friends question my sanity.
