The Official Choose A Director Thread

[Showtime]

What is funny is that if the Wachowkis directed they would want to give everybody their version of Superman. They basically hid out in Germany making Speed Racer without any WB involvement.

Comic book films get made one film at a time. Plus one film lead to the next (kind of although sometimes badly). The only exception is "Superman: The Movie" and "Superman II" as they made them at the same time although they changed things so one didn't lead as directly to the next.

Angeloz

Right.

But Millar talked about a trilogy. W Bros rumor from McTeigue also says trilogy. That means, they have to outline a story for 3 movies. Or 3 stories for 3 movies.

Maybe they wont shoot it back to back like Lord of the Rings, but they will delivery a 3 stories, even if they shoot one at a time.

If all that is really moving fwd, of course.

I'm certainly that if they direct, we'll have great flying scenes. The end of Matrix Reloaded was just pure Superman.

 

[Angeloz]

Yes, making fun of people with bad spelling/grammar is always more fun than just throwing a fit. t:

Actually I mean joke that you didn't know Lois had a sex change recently so Clark's married to a man kind of thing. 'Cos I'd find it amusing. Getting mad is unnecessary plus bad for the blood pressure.

If they were to direct but not write, there'd be considerable chance for greatness. If were to write it, also, then there might be a problem. The writing on The Matrix sequels was... not ideal.

What?

W.B. will more conditions than the 2 you mentioned. Singer made an unmarketable movie because it was so dull and gloomy looking.

They want it darker like Batman. So goes the rumour.

Angeloz

 

[Crook]

Darker as to what the character property allows. Big difference.

 

[Angeloz]

So will that mean the "Superman Lives" suit will show up? Anyone?

Angeloz

 

[Crook]

That would be under the category of "too dark".

Is there a smiley hitting a brick wall? 'Cos I could use that right now...

But fun if one doesn't take things seriously. I wait until I see a film to do so.

I think the difference now is that Superman is not their character. All they need is stick to the best stories from the comics and make a good movie using a mix of them and their own spin.

I've been wanting to find this image with no success! Thanks for posting it! And that was awesome to watch in the theaters. The Superman fan inside me giggled.

 

[Angeloz]

Hee. Thanks.

I'm sure there are a lot more Excel, but those are the two major ones and two that I was told.

i think its all about the action. with the W brothers you get action on large scale and a superman mvoie should be large. thats why i think people want teh W brothers. the matrix movies story is in noo way connected to superman.
so i think its all about the action.

plus i think after speed racer they would create a world that would look interesting.

if the W brothers do this movie then WB needs to writte the script. if W do it it will be SR again.

Yeah, well, Speed wasn't their character either and it still blew hard.

I like the SL suit in this concept:

I'd go for a more traditional color scheme, but that's still a step in the right direction, IMO.

I thought the movie looked great. The problem was more the dull story line.

It's very nice looking but is the message Darth Superman? If so, it needs breathing apparatus.

I wouldn't object to more lighting for the next one. I loved the story but I'm weird that way. I just want to care about him and what's happening in his world.

That was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind seeing something like that in a movie.

Someone replaced Neo in a flight sequence with Superman. It's really short so I encourage you to watch it.

The Wachowski presence guaranteed a no-Routh film.

This makes me sad.
