now its time to see who does score supes lol.

Michael Giacchino please!

His work with Lost is amazing, and the first time I heard this theme in this Star Trek trailer, I was so envious that it wasn't for Superman...

fade i meant in the director role not music role lol. score= land

 

[Octoberist]

i know that they're busy but....Brad Bird and Mathew Vaughn. I really doubt that Vaughn would want to go back to back with him starting on X-Men. Bird on the other hand, it depends because he has Mission Impossible 4 and I've got a feeling that JJ Abrams will hook up Bird with 1906.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i wouldnt have mind to see either of them do it. But since mi4 is going to be shooting what late this yr/early next yr. He probably wouldnt have enough time to prep for superman. Same for matt doing xmen and all that. Cause i still think supes will probably want to be shooting by at least march/april 2011. and we should have at least 3-4 months prior to that for prep and all that.

James Cameron is one of the few directors probably in this world that would be able to make a LEGIT Aquaman film quite honestly.

That's sounds pretty good to me - Although (at least IMO) if there was a town called "Overrated" he'd be the mayor

I hope Giacchino does the score for either Green Lantern or the new Supes film!

He does amazing work and his work on Trek validated his awesomeness.

Brad Bird

I didn't care for the Star Trek score at all. It sounded way too generic.

 

[Webhead2006]

would be nice if it was bird, but he will be working on mi4 most of next yr, so he is likely off the block. Which sucks since he probably would have been a good choice to go with.

Since Guillermo Del Toro is gone from The Hobbit WB's should take advantage and go after Del Toro, so he can team with the Nolans and Goyer and Direct the next SUPERMAN film!

I'd love to see Del Toro do a DC film, but I dont think Supes would be a good fit for him. I'd rather see him do a Deadman film.

Actually it opens him up to do Doctor Strange... which he hs openly shared his intrest in... and well its on the Top of Marvel's To Do LIST

 

[Dark Knight]

With Del Toro onboard as Director, teaming with the Nolans and Goyer? Wow!

Now that is the kind of creative team in charge of producing and executing a kick ass, yet fun and epic Superman film that would create cinema MAGIC IMO!

Deadman would be good for him.....but sometimes the not so obvious fits wind up being the great fits!

 

[Webhead2006]

well there was a rumor a few months ago that he might be doing a deadman movie.

 

[\S/uperman]

I rather like the Chris Columbus possibility Much better than Goyer or the baby bro doing it imo.

 

[That-Guy]

CHRIS COLUMBUS?????!!!!! Oh, this had better be bullsh**. That guy is a f**king hack who is an expert at turning great properties into crap. His Harry Potter movies sucked, he ran Rent into the f**king ground, and from what I've heard, Percy Jackson was another giftwrapped turd, courtesy of this *****e.

As a writer, his track record is better, but as a director... ugh. He sucks. Plain and simple. This would be a horrible choice... almost as bad as Ron Howard is for The Dark Tower.

 

[Octoberist]

wow, i'm shocked at the Columbus support. He was good back in the 90s but he's always been tittering on the 'middle of the road' stance. Meaning, I wouldn't want him for Superman. Maybe the Columbus of old but not now.

 

[\S/uperman]

Top choice or not, he is a better option than Goyer or mini Nolan.

 

[Octoberist]

I'm not digging the notion of reducing Jonah to a 'mini Nolan'.

BTW, it's like saying "Brett Ratner would be a better choice than Goyer". In theory, that might be the case, but do you want an 'okay' Superman or do you want a GREAT Superman? Get someone better.

 

[\S/uperman]

Someone better would be great, but there aren't a lot of good known directors knocking down doors to get this gig. Especially after what happened with Singer's attempt. I'm sure the mindset is, you don't want to take the Superman movie franchise down even further and ruin a good standing career in the process

I'm surprised the Wachowski's aren't back in the mix. They have made good action flicks and are huge Superman fans. Of course if I remember correctly they wanted to build the character all the way back up from ground zero, meaning an origin story. I don't know with Goyer writing this, if it takes too much creative control away from what they would want to do.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea to me as i said in the nolan thread, i wouldnt mind cloumbus. he is a decent director. sure he hasnt had a good hit more recently. But with nolans, and the script he could probably turn out a good superman film. So he would be ok in my book. Sure he isnt my main pick. But i am sure he is alot better then getting a ratner or mcg on this.

I agree, but (everyone don't shoot me at once) I'm not totally against Ratner. While he is another guy not in the top of my list, I would still be optimistic if he got the job.

I actually think he was better suited for Superman than X-men. I liked Red Dragon, Rush Hour movies, and Prison Break which he was exec prod on.

Btw I don't believe for a second they were going to keep the Lex Luthor Kryptonian angle. Not that Ratner has to do with writing it anyways. He is a decent enough action director to work with Goyer/Nolan script imo. Wouldn't be as terrible as some think.
