Superman Returns The Official Comic-Con Thread!

[Showtime]

I haven't seen it either but I have been told by many to check it out. I don't know what it is with me and sci-fi. I am almost afraid of it.

The Wrath of Khan - a villain who our hero defeated in the past returns seeking revenge. Someone very close to our hero dies (although he's resurrected in the next film).

Also, The Wrath of Khan was one of the few sequels to be made on a much lower production budget than the film that preceded it.

And it's considered better than the movie that preceeded it?

Oh man,you got to check it out.it is considered by many to be the best trek film.it's not only a great sci-fi film,its a damn good movie by any standard, period.

Hmm...sure, why not.

 

[Steelsheen]

Superman: "Zooooooood!!!!"

Warning: This is a Star Trek injoke.

LOL!

Star Trek wise, you should also check out First Contact and Generations... they're REALLY good one IMO.

I've own Generations. I liked it.

It's far better than the first one in story and characterization, and it has much more action than the first one, but the first one is more epic in its visual scale and FX.

 

[Binker]

The way he talks about what's up in the air for the sequel ("space invasion") not only makes me want Singer to do SR2, but RIGHT NOW!

 

[Hunter Rider]

No? That is the new poster? I like it but all it reminds me of is Superman!?

Yep knew poster,the comparison is in the thread over there Steel but findiing it may be hard,might be best to PM Retro

I am sure if Singer and company wanted to consult with one of the comic writers it would be their progative. WB wouldn't force that upon them, if they give them the keys again, they are driving.

Usually if the writers are attached to a director, the writers are attached to the director. Again, I think they did a good job with the script. I read many a script and I thought Returns was quite enjoyable.

There are instances where they have another writer come in to clean up a script if they aren't satisfied but that wasn't the case in this situation. WB was satisfied with the script, WB was satisfied with the movie and it's direction. What they were unsatisfied with was the box office.

I get where you're coming from,what i meant was as a consultant,someone whose brain they could pick on a section of the Superman universe they seem unfamiliar with

 

[Showtime]

How many of them are there? I am big on movies, I am almost ashamed that I haven't seen them, but they just didn't resonate with me from trailers and what not. I haven't seen any of the Bond movies either. It's some kind of sickness.

.

By me it's known as the only good one

Here's the trailer

10 i believe

 

[GreenKToo]

I wonder if singer's ego would let him do that,I mean he seems to think he knows superman pretty well.I mean no disrespect to him either.

Ten in total. Six with the original crew (Kirk, Spock, etc.) and four with the Next Generation crew (Picard, etc.).

JJ Abrams (Alias, Lost, Mission: Impossible III) is attached to produce and direct the eleventh Trek film, which will aim to resurrect Star Trek from its current malaise.

Some think that Singer has already drawn on The Wrath of Khan in Superman Returns. In The Wrath of Khan the villain gets his hands on something called the Genesis Device - a terraforming device (which can be a devastating weapon in the wrong hands) that creates a new ecosystem by destroying the old one. Sound familiar?

What was the part with the crawly thing coming out of some guys ear about again ?

As an artist i'd think he will always be open to learning more

i found it

Hmmm....

speaking of which, Routh actually commented on that magazine cover at this LA Times article

That most recent Entertainment Weekly issue, for instance, had a full-page, up-close photo of Routh as Clark Kent — but the actor said the photo had been concocted from a picture of him as Superman altered on a computer to add eyeglasses and a different haircut. Stranger than that, Routh has been browsing the Internet to check out the new line of Superman action figures and other toys that bear his likeness and all the fake MySpace sites that claim to be the portal of the real Routh.

Another sigh. "I shouldn't worry about it. I should just let it go...."

looks like a rip-off to me...

Khan used horrible little creatures that crawl into people's ears to exert mind control over them.

Ahhh,thanks GL i haven;t seen it for years but Khan terrified me as a kid more than Vader or any other villain in a movie ...my just get myself a copy

he did?... I dont remember that, but then again I dont think I've seen all of 2 to begin with...

 

[GL's Light]

That's how he controlled Chekov and Captain Terrell.

 

[Super Kal]

oh, okay then...



I didn't grow up on the second one... I grew up on the fourth movie and on.

 

[Showtime]

Wow 10 Star Treks? Thanks Hunter and GL. I might have to get involved in watching them. Sounds like I might enjoy them.

That Spiderman poster shows the love that Raimi has for Superman.

 

[Super Kal]

yeah, but why can't he think up of something on his own... there are better thigns out there than to rip off of Superman...

In my opinion, you need to see 2,3 and 4 as they are somewhat a trilogy. But I'd put my money on seeing Wrath of Khan (part 2), Undiscovered Country (part 6) and First Contact (part 8). They are the best of the best, IMHO.
