Sam Rami for Superman!

[Dave Kocher]

Man I was really hoping that WB would consider Sam Rami to direct a Superman Movie. If not Returns then maybe the Sequel. There is talk of Singer not returning to the directors chair, only being the producer. If not Sam Rami how about Brett Ratner? Look what he did for X-Men.:up:

You might need this.

[explode7]

BS isn't returning for sequels???:eek:Unthinkable.

[ReporterKent]

How about no.

[Dave Kocher]

there was an article not too long ago i think in variety. Hey also has to do logans run.

[TrailerMusic]

Actually there was an article not that long ago saying Bryan will at the most start Writing Superman Returns 2 next year. Logans Run is being put on hold. Bryan does not want the WB ending up to put another Director on the Superman Sequel.

[explode7]

Well Riami would be cool since after Spiderman 3 he will be moving on.

Singer wont let WB pick another Director dude. Get outta dream World

[DvilDog]

Ratner as director for Supes. yeah after the wannabe xmen movie i saw the other day. No thanks

[Dave Kocher]

BUt Common think about it. If singer couldnt direct Superman wouldn't Sam Rami or Brett Ratner be good? I mean Rami could be availible next year cause it looks like Spider-man 3 may be the last in the series. Brett Ratner should availble after he is done with Rush Hour 3.

As I said theres an article with Singer stating that he does not want the same thing that happened to X-Men happen to Superman simply because the Studio would not wait for him. He will be Directing the Sequels

[darwinwins]

raimi? c'mon. has anyone SEEN the spider-man movies? those are entertaining but they are not works of an artist. you view the movie but never once do you think to yourself, "man, this is a gorgeous film." when you watch batman begins, you are thinking this in several scenes. when you watch superman, you think it. when you watch x-men 2, you think it. as for ratner ... ugh.

[Wilde]

First of all, Singer WILL be directing the sequel.

But if he wasn't, why in the world would you want Brett Ratner to do it?

Give me one reason why he would be a good choice...

[super-t]

[ Look what he did for X-Men.:up:[/quote]

yeah look wat he did for x-men half the cast is in one of these now.

X-Men: The Last Stand................ duh. That was Great!:up:

[Wilde]

Wow...

[DvilDog]

X-Men: The Last Stand................ duh. That was Great!:up:

Wow I must be the only one that thought the last stand was the biggest piece of garbage i have ever watched. Im sorry i hate movies with no story and action for the sake of action. Ratner " hey guys lets blow this up." Other members of the film" Brett why do you wanna blow up a hospital?" Brett" because its there." now did it happen that way no, but you see what i mean.

[The Kid]

no you're not.

[patrickbateman]

I Know Wow

[explode7]

But X3 was the best X Men of them all.

[Wilde]

But X3 was the best X Men of them all.

I really hope you're being sarcastic...

[explode7]

No I'm being truthfull.

[biggles2000uk]

you seriously think x-men the last stand was great. it was entertaining, but no where near as good as x2.

[DvilDog]

To each his own i guess.

[cabjvitu]

leave this to singer :supes:
in an extreme case, say singer cannot do it for personal reasons, maybe they should put on hold the character and wait years to go with a different view, if not the ¨brett¨syndrom could enter the place hahahah
why don´t u propose Joel Schumacher too?? hahahahaah supes with nipples:down:down:down:down

[explode7]

X3 was far better than the 2 X1 and 2 were quite boring IMo and is not a movie that I would go cinema to see.

[patrickbateman]

Ratner Should Do Hulk Really Combine X3 Action With Red Dragon's Psychological Undertone

[darwinwins]

unlike marvel, i think d.c. is finally figuring out that they should have a more hands off approach and more interested in matching movies with critically praised and capable directors for their two flag ship franchises.

[Wilde]

No I'm being truthfull.

I'll be honest, despite it's glaring problems, I enjoyed The Last Stand.

But it was not even close to being as good as X2, or even X-Men for that matter. While X3 was a fun summer action movie, it had way to many problems, that kept it from being a truly great movie.

And while this was not entirely Ratner's fault, he did play a large part in it. And based on all the films he has made, I don't want him anywhere near the next Superman movie. He is not a horrible director, but his style is not right for Superman.

[Nivek]

Wow I must be the only one that thought the last stand was the biggest piece of garbage i have ever watched. Im sorry i hate movies with no story and action for the sake of action.

No your not alone. Where I dont think it was all crap, I do think it destroyed a great premise that the other films established.

[darwinwins]

Ratner Should Do Hulk Really Combine X3 Action With Red Dragon's Psychological Undertonethere was not psychological undertone to red dragon. it was a waste of two hours and only the last ten minute or so had anything resembling a film when edward norton finally woke up. this is where my hatred of ratner comes from -- his ability to squander a promising film into mediocrity.

[DvilDog]

Yeah like a good story

[StarvingArtist]

Ratner traded in the heart of the x-men franchise for an a.d.d. catering, special effects saturated, mutant character overdosed crap fest.

[Nivek]

Ratner Should Do Hulk Really Combine X3 Action With Red Dragon's Psychological Undertone

I'll rip your lungs out. Keep Ratner away from my Hulk.

:hulk:

[explode7]

I still find X3 didn't have enough action as most posters on that board made it out to be.

[explode7]

Keep Ang Lee away from the HULK too:D

[Nivek]

Keep Ang Lee away from the HULK too:D

ha ha ha... wait.

[DvilDog]

I'll rip your lungs out. Keep Ratner away from my Hulk.

:hulk:

Woah i am glad i didnt post here when the Hulk came out. I am afraid i would no longer be alive. LOL

[super-t]

Keep Ang Lee away from the HULK too:D

yes and whoever let him get near it

[explode7]

^Good one:up:

[superkong 500]

I still find X3 didn't have enough action as most posters on that board made it out to be.

Well lets put it this way,atleast for me.I thought that x1 and x2 were so so movies average,but not great,X2 was better than X1 but still it lacked action,I think or better yet Iam convinced that you can have a balance between a great story with character dev and spectacular action in one movie. I hear some directors say how the story is the most important thing and this and that but alot of the times the story doesn't live to what they said,some say the story is the most important element of a movie,well Isay that its BS,Why? because I think that both are as important,well story is a bit more important but afterall cinema is a visual medium and action counts but action that drives story,if you have great action and as a base you have a great story then they'll support each other as a whole,X3 while it had a good concept it failed to create a great story out of it. It had good action but the story was so shallow that it looked like an extended episode of the tv series,however singer's X2 didn't have that much action but it had heart and good characterization plus deeper performances than what the characters showed in X3.After seeing Ratner's take on the X-men I have learned to apreciate singer's x-men movies much more.Final veredict Ratner for supes sequel,Hell no!

[explode7]

Yeah and we all know which one makes FOX BO gold.

[patrickbateman]

^Good one:up:
totally i'd take ratner over ang for hulk anyday man

[patrickbateman]

(waits for nivek)

[explode7]

You mean waiting for your lungs to be handed to you.:D

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I pray you're kidding because I don't think you said a single viable thing at all.

[explode7]

I think he probably means that these guys are the only ones who turn comicbook movies into BO successes.

[Kane]

Not considering X3's suckiness....

Ratner almost used the stupid JJ Abrams script for his Superman film......

:down Hes a hack.

[green]

Wow does this thread have any relevance to the forum at all?

[darwinwins]

Wow does this thread have any relevance to the forum at all?yes -- we're bored and a few of us need a good reminding of that there are indeed stupider people and we, we happy few.

[darwinwins]

i like having my bitterness validated.

[darwinwins]

i watched vh1's 100 funniest movies list and SPACEBALLS was curiously absent from the list. i'm still very bitter about the whole ordeal.

[TheSuperBatFan]

I haven't seen X3 yet, but damn have I heard things, both good and bad. But in any case, I like Raimi, but I never want the tones he created for Spidey's 1 and 2 on any Superman movie. I'm all for there being humor, but overall the movies have this tone of corniness. The scene of MJ running through the park in her Wedding dress still gives me chills. I can't see him on Superman.

Ratner... keep him making Rush Hour movies, but other than that, keep him away from any other franchise. I admit back when he wasw first brought in I supported him. I thought he could do a good job. But dear god, his Superman film would have been a nightmare.

[explode7]

Spaceballs? That movie was BALLS!

[darwinwins]

Ballslicious!

[explode7]

Good though!

[War Party]

I rather have Raimi stay with Spider-Man.

[KaptainKrypton]

there was not psychological undertone to red dragon. it was a waste of two hours and only the last ten minute or so had anything resembling a film when edward norton finally woke up. this is where my hatred of ratner comes from -- his ability to squander a promising film into mediocrity.
The funny thing is that the movie was a heck of a lot more like the novel than Manhunter was. Plus, it was scripted by Ted Tally, who did the scripting for Silence of the Lambs. If you're upset with anyone, it should be Tally or Thomas Harris. They changed the ending, but I still thought the movie was okay. My hatred of Ratner comes predominantly from X3. It's also split between Halle Berry and Zak Penn. This is so Brett doesn't feel lonely on his quest to take a dump on one of my favorite franchises.:)

[KaptainKrypton]

I haven't seen X3 yet, but damn have I heard things, both good and bad.
Yeah, it had a few good parts. Technically, it was a beautiful film. I equate it to a really well-polished turd.

[NotFadeAway]

There's a million people better than Raimi....James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Wolfgang Peterson(with a good script)

God, imagine if Peter Jackson came on board. The guy is a wonderful visionary. Imagine if he had a passion for the Superman character(outside of Donner's film) that he had for King Kong or LOTR. He would trump anything Singer could put out.

[Jakomus]

Raimi has already made a career out of ripping off the Superman movies, and he isn't doing it well.

A Superman movie done by Raimi would be like Superman III and IV. Ridiculous and boring.
