Whether that is the right move or not remains to be scene. If WB was willing to do that, they would have done that already. They like to keep their branches seperated.

DJ... DJ Caruso could pull it off!

And your opinion is based on which movie?

I like his directing. Simple as that. I like his Disturbia. It's a fun movie. He focuses on the character without forgetting the suspense. I liked it. He's really and "old school" director, and the first in quite a few years to collaborate with Steven Spielberg. I mean, he's directing Eagle Eye, on a story by Spielberg. His projects just remind me of the good ol' 1980's blockbusters like Gremlins, The Goonies & Co.

i would like a reboot with the next Superman movie. i enjoy Superman Returns very much but we need the start over just like Batman. Routh can still play Clark its not his felt what Singer did. if i had a say in the next movie it would be a mix of TAS and Dean Cain's Superman were Clark is the real person and Superman is just how he helps people. i have more but don't feel like typing anymore

echostation · 01-12-2008, 12:03 PM

Seconded for Excel's suggestion... dude you took the name right outta my mouth!

Rob Zemeckis would be great as well... James Cameron would bring the technical best side of Superman possible (I'm not saying he'd make a great film, but bar none he'd make the most visually epic and exciting one for SURE)

Ridley Scott, Spike Jonze

bunk · 01-12-2008, 02:51 PM

Maybe James Mangold

raybia · 01-14-2008, 03:50 PM

You didn't list my favorite in the poll.

That would be Brad Bird. He would be perfect for the type of Superman movie that I want which is essentially a live action version of TAS.

01-14-2008, 11:47 PM

I like James Mangold too along with Jeffrey Abrams and Sir Ridley Scott.

How about James Cameron?

Cagefighterkip · 01-15-2008, 09:07 AM

Robert Rodriquiz... use his Troublemaker tech from Spy Kids, Sin City, Grindhouse... just go all balls out, fun zone, cg backgrounds/settings as fun, crazy and imaginative as possible... giant robots, dinosaurs, other planets, bizzaros, etc. he could and would do all that for a small budget (the budget for sin city was like 40mill and that looked amazing for such a small budget)

Jake Cassidy · 01-17-2008, 12:56 AM

David Fincher

AVEITWITHJAMON · 01-18-2008, 02:16 PM

I honestly hope Singer returns, but if he doesnt, i think Joss Whedon could do a great job, he is great at sci-fi and fantasy.

But its not his type of movie. Whedon would be great for Fantastic Four or Wonder Woman...even Flash. Not Superman. Just because you're a good director, doesn't mean you're the right one.

True, but he often puts the right mix of humour, emotion, and action into his films, well, Serenity, and he has shown with Firefly his stuff isnt always dark.

Other people have suggested directors on here that have a history of making dark movies, so i dont see why Whedon but be so wrong.

Maybe we'll just agree to disagree on this one

I agree. Cuaron, Del Toro, Fincher, and other names people are throwing around are all wrong too. But Whedon is better for little quips and one liners and his very...unique...dialogue wouldn't really fit Superman.

X-Maniac · 01-18-2008, 03:12 PM

Del Toro is all wrong, too dark, he loves monsters and demons.

Whedon - i thought Buffy was too fluffy, and Serenity too dull and lacking action.

Spielberg could do the grand/epic sci-fi stuff, so could Jackson.

First we need a good script that has possibilities for action and character.

Super Kal · 01-18-2008, 07:50 PM

well, now looking back on what the Donnerverse has given us, yeah, I am sick of it.

It gave us a way to look at Superman fro a different perspective, but it's time to move on to other things. It's time to leave the Donnerverse in the past with the rest of the Pre Crisis era.

They all are indeed to dark, but Whedon managed to make a superb movie in Serenity with only a $39 million budget and it wasnt too dark.

If WB told him to restrict his types of dialogue i'm sure he could pull it off.

that would be my nightmare. Superman is the real person, clark is the disguise. the only changes they need to make to the donnerverse is get rid of real estate lex and establish more of a coporate lex

Well said. I completely agree with you here.

That said, unfortunately, I don't see WB doing that on-screen. For whatever reason, they seem to want to distance themselves from the animated interpretation, which IMO is arguably one of the best interpretations of Superman or CK done yet.

Cagefighterkip · 01-19-2008, 01:32 PM

i have no faith in Superman sequel coming to theaters ever. no faith.

GreenKToo · 01-19-2008, 07:27 PM

With J.L. on hold I think M.O.S. is a real possibility now. If it happens, I hope its a reboot.
