Here's my thing; WAIT

wait for Brad Bird to do MI:IV, then give him the director (and co-writer) chair for Superman, hell give him full creative control or at least the same level of control that Nolan had on TDK.

THE MAN OF STEEL, produced by Christopher Nolan, directed by Brad Bird, written by Brad Bird and David Goyer. Would be the ultimate Superman film, maybe even the ultimate Superhero film of all time.

It would be able to hit theaters summer/winter 2013

[Webhead2006]

yea i still would like bird myself, and say if mi4 goes into production either late this year or early next yr. He could probably be free late summer/early fall 2011 to work on superman. First thing i want to know is when about does wb want/need to get the film shooting and compared to when batman 3 is going to be shooting(so we could figure how hands on nolan may be with superman).

When is the comic-con? july? It would be nice to hear something before then.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea comic con is july. So it should be nice to see what is coming from wb/dc reguarding dc films. Be it flash/superman and reveals of green lantern this summer.

 

[GreenKToo]

I'll bet the farm some stuff leaks out before then, whether it's intentional or not is another matter.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea very possibly something will probably leak out for batman/superman/gl prior and and comic con. hopefully if any tidbits for these films do come its something good and solid.

As I have said before....I would love to see a talented team of Nolan Exec Producing and either Bird or Snyder Directing the Supes film.

It would have the potential to be a blockbuster team up in comparison to Lucas and Spielberg when they did the first 3 Indy films!

With David Goyer and Jonah Nolan coming up with the story and script and with Chris Nolan Exec Producing, then with having a talent like Bird or Snyder Directing......not much can go wrong IMO.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Hmm, I don't know too much about snyder, imo there's something about his style that I can't see happening in superman.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea its not likely synder would do superman. But bird would be a nice guy to go with. But it will probably end up being someone like marc webb like others have said. .

 

[GreenKToo]

I'd poop gold monkey's if we could get Abrams, but alas, I don't see that happening.

What about Jason Reitman? He directed Thank You For Smoking, Juno and Up In The Air. He also turned down Justice League a few years ago according to an interview he did with Howard Stern so he is on the WB radar. Nolan and Goyer will bring the action and sci-fi while Reitman could bring the comedy, drama and romantic aspects to Superman.

 

[Daybreak_st]

Also, this is based on character driven material and nice cinematography, but what about Peter Hedges. He directed Dan In Real Life. Great film, beautiful settings. I think he could bring some real charm to the Kents, and the look of Smallville and help craft some very nice character intereaction. I'd leave the action and scifi to Nolan though.

 

[Webhead2006]

jason reitman is a good director i have seen a few of his films. but from what he does it doesnt look like comic book films are type of work he suited for.

 

[BestGirl]

Hmm, I don't know too much about snyder, imo there's something about his style that I can't see happening in superman.

I don't believe Snyder would ever agree to direct Supes anyway. He seems to gravitate to projects that involve a lot of sex and violence.

There are rumors in well respected trades that the guy is a colossal dick and is very difficult to work with ( studio wise).

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I don't think Jason Reitman would ever direct a normal Superhero flick. He just doesn't seem like the type. He likes to pretend that his fluffy little movies are high art.

 

[Darth Nata]

Yeah that definitely seams to be the general opinion everywhere. He does come across a bit that way in a lot of interviews too. The problem with finding a director is that I get the feeling that Nolan will have a lot of control so it's a matter of hiring someone who is ok with that.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I think James Mangold might be a good choice, or maybe Alex Proyas.
