I dunno if there's already a thread for this news
When it comes to Superman, there are 2 movies to be discussed about--- there's the Man of Steel & the Justice League movie. We're either seeing Superman back on either of those two movies ------------- Writers' Strike Coming Sooner Than Expected? Bad News For Justice League! Scribes' walkout could impact dozens of films in development. by Jeff Giles | October 01, 2007 Blog Article | Discuss Article Maybe we won't be seeing Justice League of America in the summer of 2009 after all. Matter of fact, a whole slew of movies might be missing their release targets -- including Wolverine, G.I. Joe, The Wolf Man, The Soloist, and the Night at the Museum sequel. The culprit? Yes, you guessed it, it's that pesky strike stuff again. After looming in the distance for months, strike season is approaching -- and might actually be coming sooner than we'd expected. If you haven't been following the drama, here's what's happening: The studios' contracts with the actors' and directors' guilds expire next June, while the writers' contracts expire at the end of this month. While many had assumed the industry would be facing one big strike next year, it now looks as if the writers will stage their own walkout first. According to a report published by The New York Times over the weekend, this could affect something like 75 percent of "the almost 150 feature films that are candidates for production by early next year," including Justice League and Another Night, both of which "appear not to have final scripts." From the article: Barbara Brogliatti, a spokeswoman for the producers' alliance, said the studios had never assumed writers would keep working after the expiration of their contract. "Every studio and every network has contingency plans," she said, and those plans "assume there could be a walkout on Oct. 31." The studios are still refusing official comment, but all the signs seem to indicate we're going to suffer through some kind of work stoppage before this is over. As the article notes, the entertainment industry's last major strike was the five-month writers' walkout in 1988 -- and those of us who are old enough to remember it might still be nursing a grudge for the havoc it wreaked on television shows such as Moonlighting. Source: The New York Times ------------------- Got it from http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/just.../news/1676485/ So if the Justice League movie is being threatened by this news, how much more the supposedly-upcoming MAN OF STEEL

I'm not worried about JLA or any of the 2008-2009 movies. They already have scripts. Any tweaks can be handled by either ghost writers under the table or the directors. What I'm more concerned about is TV and the effect it can have on the new season and some of my favorite shows like 24, Prison Break, Psych, and The Office

This is true. The writers are not typically getting "millions". As far as films go especially. Many scripts/treatments are sold for a few thousand dollars. Once the script is sold, the writer does not collect ANYTHING on the back-end.

I'd say that if WB can't get JL of the ground, then they may have to look at (a delayed) MoS.
That would be the only circumstance that I can see MoS happening in. |

Good for you.
Bad for the hundreds out there who liked the movie, and want to see something exiting and new for the next Superman movie.

The Strike has already hit some talk shows, expect more talk shows to suffer later.

I already sent my script ideas to WB. They won't use it I'm sure, but it's a decent outline.

It takes time to write. They often have a week or sometimes less to write them. So it's easier said then done. That's also assuming that things won't go wrong or actors won't need time off for some reason. It's not a perfect world.

If it's okay with the mods i thought this might deserve it's own thread seperate from the general SDCC thread.

Good. I don't care for Grant Morrison. He is like the Howard Stern of comic writers. He does things simply for the sake of shock value which covers up for the fact that he ain't that talented, yet no one wants to call him on it.

Other than the revelation that there's still nothing concrete about another Superman project, this doesn't bother me at all. Morrison can be entertaining at times, but he has far too much of an inclination to just do something ...'off'.
We don't need some grand re-imagining of the character to have it succeed at the box office.

^Honestly, I really think they don't know. Just look at how much trouble they have had putting the character back on the big screen since Superman 4. It's amazing they have had such a difficult time with this character.

I've been saying it for a while now, a movie about Superman's constant battles to get on the bigscreen would be far more entertaining than any Superman movie could ever be.
I just think that WB is overthinking it. Just follow the moderen comics and let the director add his little bit of spice and oh yeah....Finally give us a f**king cool ass super battle with a villain. That early 80's obvious wirework fight with dudes in goofy black suits don't cut it anymore nor do Landschemes. Have a big bad ass adventure with the most powerful hero in comicdom. And stop casting Lois based on looks, I have no problem with Bosworth as an actress or person for that matter but she is quite simply wrong for Lois Lane. I still don't want a sequel and will be annoyed when the press release comes, but if Singer and Bosworth are Holmes'd I'd be laughing with glee all the same. |
