--Steve Younis of the popular Supermanhomepage.com site debunks variety. Yep VARIETY :eek:
http://www.supermanhomepage.com/news.php
Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117961116.html?categoryid=13&cs=1) reports that United Artists has green-lit Bryan Singer's next movie, in which he will team up once again with "The Usual Suspects" screenwriter Chris McQuarrie.
The report also claims that the World War II film will "delay Warner Bros.' hope of mounting a sequel to Superman Returns in the near future." The Superman Homepage has found out that this claim is false, with Warner Bros. and Bryan Singer reportedly on track to start filming the sequel to "Superman Returns" around March of 2008 as previously planned.
Further he adds in comment section
" I wouldn't post a rebuke to such a well respected media outlet as Variety if I didn't have it on good authority from a well placed source."

Steve has no reason to lie, I've never seen him post news without verifying it from a source :o

Steve has a very good track record but so does Variety, it's a tough call. I don't see why Steve would lie though, Variety could have gotten misinformation. Not sure here.
It's a question of who the source is or what not. I've emailed Steve a couple times in the past based on rumors I have heard, and he has debunked them and been correct.
The plot thickens.

Exactly.
In all fairness, Variety probably checks their sources a bit more carefully. I am not saying that they are never wrong, but as the number one publication in the industry, they have a lot more to lose by being wrong than Steve Younis who pretty much runs a glorified fan site (Not a shot at him, but thats what SMHP is). So is it really fair to give him credit for throwing his good name out there, when Variety did the same?

Point well taken, the difference to me is that Variety can rebound very quickly from something like that, almost instantly, while Steve may not. More risk from Steve's side in my opinion.

I got admit I am a bit perplexed to see JCDC of all people start this thread. It will undoubtedly get worse, but to simply start a thread of this nature for no reason other than to emphasize a point that has alread been emphasized so many times in the other thread is reckless and to be quite honest I expected more of a poster who has been here so long andw as fellow Law supporter. :cwink:

I disagree there. There are countless trade publications waiting for a chance to take Variety down a notch (it is like the lead horse in the Kentucky Derby breaking a leg on the final stretch). Younis on a website won't lose much for being wrong. Internet traffic is easy to recover...sales aren't.

Can't you back to "community" and stop making me look bad on my side of the tracks? :cwink:
Well as I said in another thread, other big websites are re-publicizing Variety's reports. Sci-Fi Wire, IGN, Latino Review to name a few. I am sure it is popping up all over the net. So maybe Variety does have more to lose in that respect.

On another note I believe that Mike, Dan, and Singer were all on set of Trick R Treat at one point. Who knows.

I really don't know what to think about all this. It seems like Variety may have just inferred that the Superman flick would be delayed. But at the same time, I'm hesitant to believe a fansite which may be motivated by wishful thinking. Remember the X3 running time debacle? Some schmuck came along telling everyone what they wanted to hear (that the movie was something like 140 minutes) and everyone wanted to believe him and did. Then they all ended up being sorely disappointed when the truth came out.

If the WB guys want to keep any further info about Singer's sequel, they won't tell Younis or anyone else of the media anything else but "The movie will happen!". Otherwise they would've come forward by now instead of giving such important information to a fansite. And it's also what they stated since last fall.
But it's interesting that the rumors about Singer's leaving now even appear on more reliable sources than just some fanboards.
To me the situation looks like the same with WW now. WB blatantly lied to the media and fans about Whedon - though anyone with an ounce of intelligence knew it - and just a few days later he was gone.
And from another point of view: This is not Spider-Man or Batman were talking about, it's Superman, who happened to have a medicore movie the public has already forgotten about. There's absolutely no need to hold back any information about the sequel. If anything, they MUST give out some more detailed info to already build up hype. Otherwise they get the same result like SR, or even worse, if the movie sucks again.

Somethign is counter the other topic.
Robert Meyer Burnett, who produced and directed behind-the-scenes material for Superman Returns, says that March, 2008 is the planned start of principal photography (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5358#) for the sequel. A Q&A on BlueTights.net (http://www.bluetights.net/theplanet/showpost.php?p=1232219&postcount=329) reads:
Angeloz asks if I'm coming back to work on the sequel. The answer is...I'm ALREADY working on the sequel. Bryan, Brandon and the whole merry bunch will be coming back...and filming will probably begin March, 2008, as was always planned from the beginning. The WWII film Bryan plans to shoot over the summer will have NO EFFECT whatsoever on the Superman sequel schedule.
Doesn't sound like there will be any kind of delay, as was suggested by Variety.

"Alex DeLarge
Folks,
The source of all this consternation, the Michael Fleming VARIETY article about Bryan's WWII movie, stated the Superman Returns sequel would have to be pushed back.
This was speculation on Mr. Fleming's part. Bryan's WWII feature will begin filming on or around July 15th so as to accomodate the Superman sequel. The WWII film is designed to be shot quick and bring Bryan back to his USUAL SUSPECTS roots, including reteaming with Academy Award-winning writer Chris McQuarrie.
Bryan has ALREADY signed his deal to direct the Sequel. I know this because I videotaped him doing so. The Wachowski brothers are currently making SPEED RACER and have no involvement with the film.
I can't believe someone with a James T. Kirk avatar (can you tell me what season that photo is from...because I can...) would have the audicity to question ME!!! I mean, seriously, haven't you seen FREE ENTERPRISE, the feature I wrote and directed? Get the 2 disc Anchor Bay DVD or watch it on Showtime (It was airing this morning... so it'll probably be on later today sometime).
I've posted on BlueTights because this is the unofficial official site for all things Singer Superman related. Has been for YEARS now. I never post anywhere else (aside from own own website www.ludovicotechnique.com or my MySpace page). Justin does a terrific job here and for the most part, the posters are great (but where is LEXLIVES?). I'm certainly not paid to be here.
Now... keep those questions coming!!

First off thanks for the 681 emails in regards to this article. 679 of them are pro Superman Returns and 2 of them are ones that are less favorable. Amongst these e-mails we did receive a couple from our pals from Warner Bros. As we said in our original post, WB denies that this letter was ever sent by Dan Lin. I personally think that he is too busy polishing his Oscar that he won for The Departed.
Second, we just spoke with Bryan Singer and Gil Adler this past week on the set of Dave Parker’s Hills Run Red that our bud Robert Meyer Burnett is producing (yes the same guy who brought you the Superman Returns, X-Men 1.5, X-2 DVDs), guess what? Superman 2 is still planned to start production March of 2008 as it always was.
So for those of you who are fans of Singer rejoice! For those of you who are not…too bad. The studio is 100% behind Superman 2 and did I mention that Bryan’s deal is already done? Yes I did.
A couple of you who wrote in questioning our professionalism (literally two of you wrote in), you are right, we are not Variety or Hollywood Reporter, we have never claimed to be, we actually like movies and have never been anything but honest to our readers and viewers.
In regards to being “professional,” for god sakes have you not seen all the April Fools jokes that our entire community have posted this morning? Superherohype, DarkHorizons, LatinoReview, AICN, Joblo and others have run faux stories for April Fools and yet you try to compare us to Variety?

I doubt anyone really thought a reboot was going to happen. I assume most people were just trying to rile up the fans of SR who seem to take a personal interest in SR and it's direction. Something I'll never understand.
The problem with Superman Returns and it's direction is not all on Bryan Singer. He's a competent director who seems to generally respect the character and legacy of Superman. He made a good looking film, that for the most part made Superman look good on film. The major problem was with terrible story. To me, nothing about the story was original, inspiring, or imaginative. I'd love to hear one defender tell me what was imaginative or original about the film. But that's neither here nor there.
It's a fact that SR underperformed, it's a fact that the general public is not clammering for a sequel. That's not to say they don't want one either. WB will make sure that Singer gets what they want and what they think the public wants. That's is a superhero movie rather than a soap opera. For better or worse WB will have a heavy hand in the sequel with Singer. If a good script is writtten, Singer can make a good film...I think.

Home Alone made a lot more than Superman Returns. Around $90 million more. If you adjust for inflation it made about $240 million more. Remember, ticket prices were much cheaper in 1990.
Making more money than Superman Returns isn't saying much. Rush Hour 2, Meet the Fockers, Mrs. Doubtfire, Signs and My Big Fat Greek Wedding all made more.

those were all better movies too though... and were specifically made for the kids in mind.
SR wasn't.
Rush Hour 2, Meet The Fockers, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding were not really made for kids. They did better because people liked them more.
The difference is no one cared about Superman Returns before it opened and no one cared after it opened. There was very little hype in the general film going public and word of mouth was poor for Superman Returns. Those other films had better marketing and better word of mouth.
I didn't like Superman Returns but I don't think Rush Hour 2 is better. That goes to show just how dissapointing Superman Returns was when My Big Fat Greek wedding made over $40 million more domestically.

POTC2 was better in the eyes of the public. Simple as.
When you make a Superman movie that isn't very appealing to children, the BO is going to suffer. The fact it made over 200 million domestically anyway proves that Superman is still loved by many.

As much as people liked Batman begins.
But if that's the price to pay for a Superman movie that'¡s not childish then I'm quite happy with it.

Teen Titans to the Big Screen
Source: The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3ibdf0b7dd533b3de61add7273f8d79b81)
May 31, 2007
DC Comics' superteam Teen Titans (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5773#) is getting the big-screen treatment courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures, says The Hollywood Reporter. The live-action adaptation is being produced by Akiva Goldsman and Kerry Foster through their Weed Road production company, while Mark Verheiden has been brought on board to write the script. The Teen Titans, which first appeared in 1964, are comprised of Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Speedy, the respective sidekicks of A-list heroes Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5773#) and Green Arrow.
The comic series reached X-Men-style success in the 1980s, when the team was relaunched in a new comic with the characters no longer kids but college-age adults and the stories explored more mature themes. The series also saw the addition of Cyborg, Starfire and Raven, original characters who weren't sidekicks, while the character of Robin matured into one called Nightwing.Most recently, the comic was adapted to the television screen with a Cartoon Network (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5773#) series that ran from 2003-06 that used many of the '80s comics' heroes and story lines.
It is not known which heroes will be used, but Nightwing is said to be in the mix. Goldsman said the tone will be consistent with such recent Warners' comic book (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5773#) fare as Batman Begins, Superman Returns and the upcoming Watchmen.Verheiden was a writer-producer on "Smallville" and is a writer-producer on "Battlestar Galactica (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5773#)."

Interesting. I hope WB doesn't force Nolan to put in Robin in the next Batman movie now. Also, I hope Akiva doesn't plan on doing any rewrites on the script. I'm guessing WB will test the waters, as far as superhero teamups are concerned, with this film and if all goes well and smooth then set their sights on making that JLA movie. I don't even know what to think of as far as the status of the Superman franchise is concerned. I guess we should hear something during ComicCon.
Showtime

I was told previously there would be an announcement at Comic-Con in regards to the sequel. This announcement would involve an update with Singer and his crew and the Man of Steel.
However, I was also told WB was hot on the Whakowski's, so who knows if the info is the real deal.
FlawlessVictory

I wouldn't be opposed to a Wachowski reboot but that means in all likelihood we would lose Brandon who I really liked. But still, I would sacrifice Brandon to get a potentially epic Superman movie with the likes of Brainiac or Darkseid or Metallo etc.. Basically, someone not involved in some goofy real estate scheme.
Or, knowing Singer we would get Zod as the villain and basically a rehash of Superman 2. I'm kidding, mostly. :csad:

imho there is no way WB are going to continue with singer, that simply doesn't make financial sense.
WB's bet bet is to make a hulk reboot and sweep everything concerning SR under the carpet.
to be honest they only thing I'll miss is routh I thought he did a decent job with a terrible script, everything else however I will be glad to see the back of.

From what I was told, the biggest problem WB had with doing a reboot would be letting go of Brandon. They were really happy with him.
I would strongly suggest looking towards Comic Con for the answer...:cwink:

I have not any problem to be exited for a new Superman movie directed by different directors for a 2009-2010 release date. But I'm really sick of all the false specultations than come from so called insiders.
For me this press release means only that the WB want a lighter movie with super-teen-agers to replicate the success of the Smallville young JLA episode. Simple and clear.
Recently we e have read a ton of official statements from Peters, Routh, Singer and the writers about the sequel, and they said that the sequel is on track but the script will be ready only after the summer. So, if we use the logic, the WB can officially announce the movie only after the Summer.
TheComicbookKid
05-31-2007, 12:21 PM
If we don't have anything new by year's end, the Singer Superman is probably done, unfortunately.
But I don't believe the Titan's announcement meaning anything. Besides, Superman 2(?), I can't think of a superhero film anywhere near set for the summer of 2009.
Wait, probably Wolvie, but that's a low budget film.

I didn't say there wasn't articles pointing to the sequel...I am saying there is still no sequel news from WB officially. I wasn't trying to say Teen Titans is official and his happening, and Superman is not, I just want more news.
Not Brandon shouting "Look for Superman 2!"or Peters saying "Bryan is just like Barbara Streisand, and we hope to have a script done and production going! Yipee"
So far the list is long and prolific for those mentioning a sequel...

Showtime if you want to say something interesting and NEW you are wellcome, but if you still believe in the fake whachosky story, please...
Since your rumor we have heard Peters, Routh, Singer and the writers confirming that they are working on the sequel....
For example with this thread and the phrase "WB was hot with the Wachowsky and there will be an annoucement at the comic con", do you want to tell us that your insider has told you that the Wachowsky bros will direct the new Superman movie and that it will be annouced in July?
Be clear, because so in July if you are right we will say that you are a myth and that we are only stupid fanboys, if you are wrong...that you are a not reliable.
The point is that IMO iesb, the producers, the actors, the writers and the director are more reliable than an "insider".
But I don't know your insider and his last rumors...so who knows?
If you have some new info, please tell us, because we are sick of the speculations based on nothing.

At this point after it was reported by all parts that the sequel is in development, the only official announcement would be done when the sequel gets greenlit, sop after the script is completed and everyone agreed on pays and shares.
so another WB superhero movie that will never actually get made.
what about the video where singer and the writters and the PRODUCER are talking about the sequel?
Do you mean Jon Peters? He is a producer in name only, because it is cheaper for WB to give him a salary than fire him and have to pay a rather generous severence package. He no longer has any power in the studio. He had nothing to do with SR, he has nothing to do with whether or not it is greenlit.

Dude, Showtime is one of the defenders of the movie, although with a calmer head than some.
I do think it's ridiculous to still be fighting about plot points to SR on a Sequel board. Go to the SR board to talk about that movie. This is the place to talk positively or negatively about Singer's possible sequel.
When and if the sequel starts up, the people that bash Singerman will still come here despite their objects to Singer's direction. Believe That!

I don't think there is anything on the SR sequel because there just isn't much to tell. They are all working on different projects. Once Valkyrie is done, there will probably be a lot more news, and I'm 90% sure Singer and co. are onboard for the sequel. I don't even like Superman Returns, but if I were a betting man, I'd bet on this.

Yup, it's a shame. Raimi had been doing just fine up to that point without anyone butting in. They should have just left the man alone. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This is a smart idea. Since we have Batman TDK already; if they greenlight Superman, The Flash, Shazam and Teen Titans I'll be happy.
That's a pretty heavy lineup of cool DC films; coupled with The Watchmen, The Spirit and Sandman.
They should hold off on the JLA film till Nolan completes his trilogy.
Its an awesome idea to use Nightwing for this. Smart move. They can set it in the 'not too distant' future a decade or so after Nolan's Batman; showing where Dick Grayson ended up.

Ron Jeremy, 54-years-old and growing more portly each day, still manages to score with twenty-something chicks. For those unfamiliar, the term commonly associated with a male "cougar" is a "dingo."
TMZ spotted "The Hedgehog" last night at Les Deux, where the star of "Anal Princess Diaries 2" and "The Texas Dildo Masquerade" was flirting with a group of females -- with one lucky 26-year-old hanging on and giving the porn star a few pecks on the cheek.
"Superman Returns" star Brandon Routh was out with fiancee Courtney Ford at Il Sole, where he said another "Superman" flick is definitely happening. Also getting some Sole food; comedian George Carlin, who didn't want to be seen looking like "a bum."

As definite as Routh is about this his repeated assurances that everything is a go seem a bit overdone. Getting a bit of a Ratner vibe. If it was definite the TMZ reporter wouldn't ask if there will be another in the first place.

I was told previously there would be an announcement at Comic-Con in regards to the sequel. This announcement would involve an update with Singer and his crew and the Man of Steel.
However, I was also told WB was hot on the Whakowski's, so who knows if the info is the real deal.
If WB were making an annoucement at comicon Singer would be there. It'd be set up by now I think since Singer's schedule is so tight. WW2 flick starts filming in Germany about a week before comicon. Singer is not listed as attending so I bet this rumor is as bogus as the Wachowski one turned out to be. Dougherty is the only one attending for Trick or Treat. For all we know he may not answer any Superman questions. If he does bet its only a rehash of what they said after the Saturn awards. I am not expecting any new news about the sequel out of comicon.

No you didn't say it. You just started a thread about a movie with no relevence to Superman for no other reason other than to give your take on the lack of news on the sequel of a movie that's barely as year old as it is. You're acting as if it's already June 2009 or something.
The last part's all well and true, but, if you look at, say, the Joker threads on the Batman forum, the difference is that Joker is relevant to TDK. Teen Titans is as relevant to Superman as Fantastic Four is to X-Men.

Well actually not really disturbing! More like amusing.... I think the reason why no real solid news has come out from the WB is because they are in a "wait & see" position right now.
They will wait to see what The Hulk reboot does, and let these clowns "Mike, Dan, and Bryan" Crayola a script together before they announce anything.

Let's follow an even less sucessful movie and see what they do to reboot it. That makes sense.

It does rub me the wrong way. The movie's not due out for at least another two or three years. The first is only a bit short of becoming a year old. Is the undie soiling totally necessary?
Great, I'm a facist for getting annoyed at other peoples overreactions...
Dude. What the hell are you all up in arms about. He is just asking a simple question. Why there is news on an Teen Titan's movie being greenlit, but no news on the sequel. I think the rumors are true, as Bareknucklez stated above, and we wont hear any real news for a while on the sequel. But there is no reason to jump on him for asking a question.

I don't know how I am overreacting, I want more news on a sequel. The Teen Titans news was a segway into my question regarding lack of some solid news.
News, for the sequel to a movie that's barely a year old that's not due out for two or three years. The crew of which are all working on different movies at the current moment...
The first step of my evil Nazi plan is to take this up over PM (Don't worry, no flamming or harrassing or anything like that).

Just vote no for John Howard. ;)
By the way I'm kidding as I know what you meant and for those of you wondering John Howard is the Prime Minister of Australia (like Blair in the U.K.) or is the PM.

Teen Titans to the Big Screen
Source: The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3ibdf0b7dd533b3de61add7273f8d79b81)
May 31, 2007
DC Comics' superteam Teen Titans (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5773#) is getting the big-screen treatment courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures, says The Hollywood Reporter. The live-action adaptation is being produced by Akiva Goldsman and Kerry Foster through their Weed Road production company, while Mark Verheiden has been brought on board to write the script. The Teen Titans, which first appeared in 1964, are comprised of Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Speedy, the respective sidekicks of A-list heroes Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5773#) and Green Arrow.
The comic series reached X-Men-style success in the 1980s, when the team was relaunched in a new comic with the characters no longer kids but college-age adults and the stories explored more mature themes. The series also saw the addition of Cyborg, Starfire and Raven, original characters who weren't sidekicks, while the character of Robin matured into one called Nightwing.Most recently, the comic was adapted to the television screen with a Cartoon Network (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5773#) series that ran from 2003-06 that used many of the '80s comics' heroes and story lines.
It is not known which heroes will be used, but Nightwing is said to be in the mix. Goldsman said the tone will be consistent with such recent Warners' comic book (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5773#) fare as Batman Begins, Superman Returns and the upcoming Watchmen.Verheiden was a writer-producer on "Smallville" and is a writer-producer on "Battlestar Galactica (http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5773#)."

Let's just say I would be a Labor Party supporter but most of them are lawyers and influenced by business more than the workers seemingly these days. So I'm very disallusioned with the main Parties. By the way if I was Tasmanian (I'm not) I wouldn't be embarrassed by voting for Bob Brown 'cos he's intelligent, honest, has principles and isn't afraid to state them. But as stated I'm in the wrong state.
Edit: by the way is "Watchmen" confirmed? 'Cos it seems to be a yo-yo project - on again and off again.

Nothing wrong with hoping for more news and expressing it, I think we all hope for more news. It was just a simple question of why news on a project that will never get off the ground most likely, and nothing on a sequel that is supposed to be moving along. Opened up for discussion. That is what the board is all about.
Anyway, appreciate the PM, no problems between me and you. I apologize for the rants and raves, just as real life in conversation, sometimes I can go on and on. :heart:

Does that mean you'll have an internet marriage? So it only lasts 2-3 months at best. ;) :oldrazz: :D

I saw a current affairs report on Second Life (the place some people supposedly live online). It has internet sex as well as marriage. They said most marriages last three months or something. But I was kidding.
Though is "Watchmen" on again as a project? To be more serious.

That is quite odd. I never knew that, about internet marriage.
I think the Watchmen is more on and off again.

So it's a coin toss? Do they have Two Face deciding? Though blowing up New York or parts of it might be a problem. It's spooky that he was right about that kind of disaster as well as pirates being popular. However it's been too long since I read it to really comment on it (I read it years before September 11).

What all the changes that the WB is doing is telling me that they don't have faith in a SR sequel. Before the movie came out, it was movies on the telling of all the main Justice League Hereos. Now it looks like they are going with heroes that are more current. And, unlike Marvel, who has many studios financing their films, DC is owned by the WB, and the WB has to pick and chose which ones to finance. Just one studio.

I got the impression from Saturn interview that no work is being done now on SR2. The script won't be written until towards end of year and Singer has set up home in Germany doing fulltime on Cruise film. I don't think there will be new stuff to tell by comicon. I think new news will start up by year end.

Singer has a full plate for now as well. At least 2 other movies during the next few years.
A script and a time frame are a long way off because the film has not even been greenlit.

Singer himself said he's just doing Valkyrie before SR2.

Don't they have to finish the script first before they get a greenlight?
