All Things Superman: An Open Discussion - - Part 67

I'd like Brainiac in the sequel, voiced by either hugo weaving or benedict cumberbatch.
I think Lex should be there also, either leo or damon would be my wish.

 

[Doc Ock]

Hugo Weaving and Brainiac in the same sentence is something that fills me with delight. Too bad it will never happen knowing what he has said about certain "meaningless" roles.

Cumberbatch should voice Batman lol.

Hugo Weaving and Brainiac in the same sentence is something that fills me with delight. Too bad it will never happen knowing what he has said about certain "meaningless" roles.

Honestly, if they were to present him with a great script and characterization for the given role, I think he'd do it. I mean the guy ended up doing the Matrix and Agent Smith is in a lot of ways like Brainiac.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

But there are so MANY likable components. Even if it turns out to JUST be a popcorn flick, it'd be a highly effective one.

I'm just trying to not overhype the movie for myself. I liked Sucker Punch for goodness sake I'd be shocked if I didn't at least like this film.

Also, while I could end up being totally wrong with how MOS ends up being received by everyone, there seems to be real high quality presented within the world shown in MOS.

I personally wouldn't want to really risk tainting it by connecting it to other DC Hero films that could end up being much lesser in quality.

Which is why I wonder at times on why anyone would want to have Ryan Reynolds back as GL for a JLA film since that would mean that we'd have to accept the events of GL as being canon and connected with the likes of MOS and any other DC hero who was able to pull off presenting a great world of their own. Its like tainting it really.

Mark my words, GL was hated by the general public. Reyolds is never playing GL again and that movie has already been forgotten. Only wayward fans of that film think that Reynolds is going to show up in a JL film.

The CGI is fine for at the moment. Some very blatant but that is completely fine for cause obviously it is Superman and its clearly gonna be a blaze or fire and destruction so its obvious IMO that some parts are gonna have more attention than others. I'm not expecting a Nolan and every CGI shot among the real stuff is practically flawless. IM3 had some very obvious CGI at time that took me out of the film, there is one moment where he is in his Malibu house and he steps out of the suit as the whole suit opens and it just didn't look right to me at all.

should they go for president luthor?

it would be fresh new dynamic superman taking on the most powerful human on earth

"Hugo Weaving and Brainiac in the same sentence is something that fills me with delight. Too bad it will never happen knowing what he has said about certain "meaningless" roles."

He did Happy Feet 2. I'm sure he'd do it for the paycheck.

But I'd want Braniac to sound dominating but expressionless. Cumberbatch would be good, but I'd like someone less conventional.

 

[MrMaooz]

Didn't he say that he doesnt like doing superhero movies because of his experience with playing the Red Skull?

 

[Kal-El.9859]

Oh no...we're back on Batman.

so says the guy with a Batman avatar...

 

[Deserana]

I would like a smaller and slightly more complex, darker second film. however, it is difficult for me to say that yet as I'm not sure what the tone is of this film. I'm sure one person who saw a screening said the film was a light lighter than some trailers suggest. So if they are setting up a Marvel-ish kind of world the more-adult, toned down sequel may not work for me. BB perfectly set up the story of TDK.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I would LOVE that. Especially since this image caught my eye:

"It was good to do it and try it out, but to be honest, it’s not the sort of film I seek out and really am excited by. As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great. It stretches you in different ways. But, I increasingly like to go back to what I used to always do, which is to get involved with projects that I really have a personal affiliation with."

I'd want an unknown for Braniac. That would make him seem "out of this world."

 

[DarthSkywalker]

That's kind of an contradiction isn't it? If that was the case, then "The Avengers" would be considered as "Iron Man 3" as opposed to the current "Iron Man 3" that we have now being labeled as "Iron Man 4".

Why should superman's character have to share his film with other heroes for his sequel? Saying that he can't have a successful sequel is like implying that he can't hold a film on his own then. And honestly, while the scale of the action is an important factor, you don't want to lose the heart of the story and truth be told, if MOS didn't look like it had any heart within it, then I doubt some of us would care as much about it as we do now.





I wholeheartedly agree

Except that is exactly what The Avengers is. It is sequel to IM/IM2, TFA and Thor. That is the entire beauty of it.

The Iron Man numbers game has everything to do with the release of IM2 and the early attempt to capitalize. But there is a reason they are going with subtitles for every other film.

It isn't the Iron Man franchise, or the Thor franchise. It is the all encompassing Avengers franchise.

Honestly Id like Cumberbatch.

Which is why MOS needs to be as stand alone as it can for the time being.

If they coerce Leo to portray a "nolanized" luthor for the new generation. That would be something.

I'm personally hoping for Snyder to get Hamm on board.

The one thing I'm looking forward to from JLA as opposed to the avengers is that damn gov't aspect. I can't stand the way it works over there.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I adore Cumberbatch but I see him going the road of the actor who is fan cast for every role...

Snyder's worked with Hamm before, so this could be a possibility

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Why are you just saying that with Superman though? Have you ever said that about any other hero? Why didn't they just stop at Batman Begins? Of course making a sequel isn't easy but that still doesn't mean that I don't want them to try if MOS is a good flick.

I agree, people's rose colored glasses for the dated effects in Superman: The Movie is why some find CGI in a Superman film so jarring.

I'd say that for any Superhero. Heck I am the guy that doesn't think some heroes should show up outside of being a secondary character in a bigger film.

Having Dicaprio would be cool but I dont think he'd want to do a Superhero movie.

 

[STARMAN]

With the Batman trilogy, you had the same group of writers and same director. I think that helped with the overall consistency of the trilogy. With Iron man you had a bunch of different writers and two directors.

The Cap sequel has a different director. The Thor sequel has a different writer and director. If MOS is excellent than I hope they keep the same creative group together.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

1. The Lord of the Rings

2. The Dark Knight Trilogy

3. Jason Bourne Trilogy

4. Back to the Future

etc.

Of course, I wouldn't call them perfect trilogies but they've done better than most ones.

I like all of them. They all have a weak film. In BTTF case, two weak films.

1. LotR ends in a bloated, mediocre, semi-disaster.

2. I love TDK saga, but the third film is trying to do the job of two films.

3. Not a trilogy, though Bourne started out okay, and then became something much better with the first two sequels. Then Legacy happened.

4. There is such a gulf in class because the first film and two sequels with BTTF. I enjoy them, but just not in the same ballpark.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

Hey, Superman the movie had that cool fault repairing scene with the lava. And had the hula-hoop phantom zone, and some obvious green screen work, and an obvious miniature with the dam-repair scene. And didn't have any big fights or punching from Superman.

Okay, so it is more dated then I'd want to admit

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Why exactly?
