World Quentin Tarrentino's Superman.

[Spider-Bat]

I was watching a talk show somewhere around the time of SR, can't remember which one, might have been Leno, and he asked Quentin would you do Superman or didn't they talk to you about it, and he said if he did it, he'd go all out, and have it set in the forties and just go nuts with it.

Just wondering if anyone else ever heard this.

I thought it sounded cool, would be much better than SR, at least he's not afraid to do something different.

Hmm, if people thought Singer's movie was a rip off of Donner's....I could only imagine how big of a rip off a Q.T. movie would be

I don't see how that would be a rip off. He wanted to set it in the forties and go nuts with it, like giant robots and stuff from what I remember.

I think he meant the "homages" Tarrentino puts in his movies.

But hell, I'd still watch it, probably enjoy the s**t out of it.

It sounds bad IMO. The forties, why not?, but the whole "just-go-nuts-with-it" sounds scary.
And I think everyone knows that you dislike SR. I have the impression you prefer the one line quote of Tarantino about a possible but not in view project than a whole movie already existing, in order to clearly and deeply express your "hate" for SR and Singer. It may sound cool for some but I don't think one can say it "would be much better than SR".
I would say today people are afraid to do something "not different". Why should everyone do something different ? Can't you appreciate something if it isn't different ?
Tarantino is always playing with references and stuff. The Grindhouse movies are going to be big pumped movies. That is why people may be going to like it. Everyone claims (in the cinema magasines) that Tarantino is a genius for having refreshed old movies, old quotes, old this or that. And you want this guy to do a Superman movie ?
I don't. I know it's fashion and cinephilistic (<- is that english?) to appreciate Tarantino's work, but I like Singer's vision, and I keep thinking he did something far in advance for the time.

I'm not sure how a QT directed Superman film would turn out, but much like alot of QT's directorial efforts, I'm sure it would have been a extremely entertaining film. Both in terms of action, and dialogue. Being a hardcore film buff that he is, I'm sure Quentin would have thrown in some Reeve/Donner Superman references for good measure, and would have also respected those films for both their time and place in the Superman lore, but on the other hand I'm positive QT would have also succeeded in putting his own personal stamp on who, and why Superman is such an American Icon. However, by going "nuts with it", I dont believe he would have attempted to re-write much of the Mythology as previous efforts during the Superman Development Hell saga tried to do, no I believe that he would rather have put in instances into the film that may convey to the audience a different perspective in certain key Superman supporting characters. Which would have definately given the film a much needed edge. Think along the lines of Morrison's All Star supporting cast (which stay true to the characters, but also presents a freshness to them as well) and you get the idea. Also by having the film set in the 1940's (no doubt during WW2 I would imagine), this notion would have presented the film as something truly unique among the Superman movies. Which is a film that retells the story of Superman, during a definate period setting, with much action (possibly more than we have seen in any live action Superman film to date), and no doubt top notch (and extremely quoteable) dialogue.

No director is infallible, but I definately wouldnt have mind a QT directed Superman.

 

[CLARKY]

Yeah that's what I was thinking too : Think along the lines of Morrison for the story, etc ...

 

[Super Kal]

a real Fleischer-styled retro movie.... now THAT would of been awesome.

 

[captain_jimbo]

Although knowing Tarrantino, there probably would have been a lot of unnecessary gore and bloodshed!

 

[Man on Fire]

im glad tatanitino didn't do it singer did amazing job

Imagine a QT JL movie.

Superman: "Okay. Here are your names.

Batman. Wonder Woman. Green Lantern. The Flash. Elongated Man"

Dibny: "Why am I Elongated Man?"

Superman: "Because you're a f*****t!"

Batman: "Who gives a f**k what your name is!"

Elongated Man: "That's easy for you to say, you got a cool sounding name Batman"

That's pretty funny.

Q.T would do an amazing job on Superman! I love his movies, and he is 1000 times the director Bryan Singer will ever be!

i can imagine it being alot better than singers

Yeah, Superman in the 40's that's something new.

New is giving him a son... but you know... that's when you know "something different" is just a thing people say.

i can imagine it being alot better than singers

Hell, I can imagine a better movie than Star Wars. But you know, imagining is not people's problem at the moment of making a movie, but actually making it.

 

[mcflytrap]

Hmm, if people thought Singer's movie was a rip off of Donner's....I could only imagine how big of a rip off a Q.T. movie would be

Quentin Tarantino is a god.

 

[Cyrusbales]

QT would guarentee a terrible shabby film, which consists of scenes stolen from other films, and some extra violence or mindless attrocity to draw in the 12 year old male crowd.

 

[Andy C.]

Yeah, I can't possibly imagine Tarantino doing a 'clean' movie of any sort. The guy's just completely wrong for the subject material; I mean, look at what we almost got when Tim Burton was at the helm.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Damn fine points. Especially him having a son.

Sweet. I would love that.

 

[patrickbateman]

gosh it would be like that jude law movie 'sky captian and something something'

 

[hammy]

I picture it more like the original Siegel / Schuster comics.

 

[turtlefocker]

QT is worse than Singer. At least Singer made "The usual Suspects" all QT has made is garbage.
