Mark Millar's Many Thoughts On Superman

Not open for further replies.
Making a movie to please the mainstream audience and a movie to please the hardcore fanbase may be two different things. The hardcore fans wanted the Transformers to transform and look exactly like they did in the cartoon. That would of looked foolish and been wrong imo. And yes many people liked Transformers. The ticket sales don't lie. Superman could do more than a billion dollars with Bay directing. He does blockbusters. That's what he does.
What is the point of your reponse? I just said that Transformers was a big hit and a Superman movie under bay would be a big hit but that I didn't want that to happen because I like watching good movies most of the time.
 
lol I know. Just taking my daily jab and SR.

How have you been?

Pretty good, thanks for asking. I hope you are doing well. I'm starting to like this reboot idea if it is done properly and with respect for the character. But please, for the love of GOD...........NO TOM WELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cmad:

I remember years ago, these two girls I studied with--they were talking about this guy all day, and his abs, and his pictures, and all that.. Jeez! :grin: :hehe:

I'm doing well.

Glad to hear that you are going to give it a chance and we sir are in a rare agreement, hell no to Tom Welling.
 
I am going to laugh and cry at the same time if Tom Welling gets the gig. Laugh because there are so many people that ripped apart Tom Welling fans, and cry because I am going to have to clean up the mess.
 
^wow, side-kick teaching lessons now! :hehe:

Then you are a sick person.:oldrazz:

I'm not kicking the Welling fans around, they are just unreasonable when it comes to this topic. It's silly for us to talk about it anyway because it doesn't have a chance in hell of happening.
 
I got a question. Are Welling fans also fans of Superman just because of Welling ..?
 
I'd ask the Brandon Routh fans the same question. They seem to believe he invented Superman.

No. Superman is bigger than any actor. But Chris Reeve did a wonderful job and personally thought it would be impossible to get someone as good. But for me Brandon was a great Superman, he embodied the character and I think if he had more lines or more work to do in SR he would be more recognized.
Brandon was in the wrong Superman movie. In SR they needed an older actor portraying Superman after a 5 year absence. IMO.

I agree he was too young for Vet Superman.
 
I agree. Welling fans seem to disagree.

I'm sorry, but Routh acted way better than Welling, even with the lack of dialogue. A rock could act better than Welling. He has the right size and maybe the looks but he is one of the worst actors I've ever seen. He is right there with Hayden Christensen.

You do understand I agree with you, right..?
 
I really dont want Millar on this. The guy's a good comic writer, but I dont like his ideas for Superman. Some of them aren't bad, but others are downright terrible. I dont like his ideas for the Superman/Lois/Clark relationship especially, or his characterization of Superman and Lois in general.

Also, if it's true that this director he's talking about is Michael Bay, also no thanks. I like Bay for what he does, but Superman isn't the right kind of movie for him.
 
Yeah, I'm pretty much expecting if it is Bay, we'll get a lot of people complaining he didn't make a gritty, serious, deep movie about cars that turn into robots, so ergo he can't make a Superman movie good. I've enjoyed his movies somewhat, and at the very least we'd get the epicity a Superman film deserves.
 
I'm interested to know the name of this mysterious director, expecially because he wants to make a trilogy. This could be the key element.
For example we know that Bay doesn't like sequels, they had to pray him for Transformers 2...and a trilogy could be considered a gold mine by the execs.

Nevertheless I don't think that the director is Bay.

This is the list of some directors that have directed at least an action movie in their life:



* Akira Kurosawa
* Andrew Davis
* Antoine Fuqua
* Bryan Singer
* Christopher Nolan
* Clint Eastwood
* Corey Yuen
* Doug Liman

* George Miller
* Guillermo Del Toro
* James Cameron
* Jon Favreau
* John Ford
* John McTiernan
* John Sturges
* John Woo
* Louis Leterrier
* Luc Besson
* Martin Campbell
* MCG
* Michael Bay
* Paul Greengrass
* Quentin Tarantino
* Renny Harlin
* Ridley Scott
* Ringo Lam
* Rob Cohen
* Guy Ritchie
* Robert Rodriguez
* Robert Zemeckis
* Sam Peckinpah
* Sam Raimi
* Sergio Leone
* Shep Ashton
* Steven Spielberg
* The Wachowski Brothers
* Tim Burton
* Tony Scott
* Tsui Hark
* Wolfgang Petersen
* Wilson Yip
* Zack Snyder
