Sequels The Official Mike Dougherty & Dan Harris Thread

[FanboyX_Returns]

You mean his one Superman movie that grossed $200,000,000? The one with strong DVD sales and almost $50 million in rentals? That one?

Yea the one that cost ALOT more then BATMAN BEGINS to produce, and market, and made LESS then Batman Begins in both dvd sales, and domestic boxoffice.

Oh, and hasn't yet turned a profit? Yea I think he means that one.

Yea I saw it coming two years ago, and got bashed for it.. Now look at them the fans for the most part hated the movie.
Singer did a bad job in his film dude face it... The movie was a giant pile of doggy poo with some Matrix like fx.
lol they even shot some of the scenes in the same part of town in Sydney Australia as the godawful Matrix series.
Singer had to much control of the project, and the WB let him do whatever he wanted, and it cost them... The movie will eventually turn a profit but in all reality this movie should have been as big if not bigger then Spiderman.
Even with the current boxoffice slump it should have done Pirates 2 numbers.
The facts are Singer had a bad idea for a movie, and he pitched it to a bunch of people at the WB that don't know how to really handle their dc characters. They liked the idea because they thought anything he thought up was going to be a winner after Xmen 2.
Well the old term "Don't judge a book by its cover" apply here.
Singer's Xmen 1 was terrible, and Xmen 2 was only watchable due to the action which was ordered by the studio when the first cut of the movie was done.
They paid alot of money to get some more action in the movie because he turned in an almost actionless Superhero movie... Sound familiar?

Anyway I hope I make it to my 60's so I could see another director get a crack at making a REAL Superman movie!

Wow, this again.

Let's do some simple math, shall we?

$391,000,000 + $92,100,000 + $47,000,000=$530,100,000.

And that's not including A) the Kryptin, B) worldwide DVD sales C) worldwide DVD rentals and D) ancillary sales.

But yeah. You go ahead and keep thinking the film is still in the red, chief.

Yo Ho Ho Hown'ed

^^^^^...even with all that math..it was beaten by the incredibly popular PotC2 to a pulp...

 

[GreenKToo]

Pirates beat everything to a pulp, including ALL of the past C.B. films.

 

[bosef982]

^^^^^...even with all that math..it was beaten by the incredibly popular PotC2 to a pulp...

Idiot.

And thank you greenkToo, but you just tried to use logic to rationalize and reason with the illogical.

 

[bosef982]

Yea the one that cost ALOT more then BATMAN BEGINS to produce, and market, and made LESS then Batman Begins in both dvd sales, and domestic boxoffice.

OHHHH, buty ou won't say that Superman Returns made less than Batman Begins overall did you...because that's not true, is it? Superman Returns actually made MORE money than Batman Begins in overall sales, and we are not yet fully done with the DVD run to make a DVD assessment.

Poor little illogical fellow. Don't try to mislead next time, just state the facts: the world is much more than the United States and across the world, Superman beat out Batman Beings.

Hypocrite.

 

[superbaby]

POTC2 is longer than SR. it made billions. the length isn't the problem.

[SuperDaniel]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Could be a good thing as long as Superman on film is not dead I'll be happy.

 

[Pickle-El]

Oh well.....lets see what happens now.

 

[Superman-Prime]

NO!!!!

 

[SuperDaniel]

What happens? Superman now has a chance. Maybe someone who understands his mittology(=more than 2 movies) and has a passion for the character and will take care of him.

As Singer himself said in the documentary

"Superman will exisit long after i`m gone"

THANK GOD for that!!!

 

[Pickle-El]

Sanchez from IESB chimes in...

dude, I really don't think Singer will comeback unless they let Chris McQuarrie right the sequel.

But like I have said in the past Dan Lin, Jeff Robinov were not fans of Superman Returns and not big fans of Bryan Singer and his team.

Now that Dan and Mike are not doing the sequel I guess I can finally reveal who the next villain was going to be, right?

Darkseid was the the final villain that they pitched to the studio.

Something tells me that they didn't really opt out of a million dollar pay check.

 

[markaudette]

Thank God!

There are no words to tell you all how relieved I am.

 

[SuperDaniel]

^ Me too.

 

[Showtime]

Darkseid...told you Green K.

 

[Gotham]

I really think they screwed up on the last film because of Singer. He was trying to make his film and they obviously didn't see it that way. But, they stood by him and a took a lot of crowd beating for it.

Considering Singer said that he was going all "wrath of Khan" with the sequel, it's a shame we'll never see the light of what they were thinking of. (You have to admit though, that airplane sequence was one of the best ever filmed).

 

[Mister J]

I won't miss them. The script was the biggest problem that I had with SR. I hope they follow with a better characterization and plot with (hopefully) the sequel.

 

[JP]

Hmm....

 

[SuperDaniel]

Darkseid? I seriously doubt it. C`mon. They should`ve thought of that when they made SR. They destroyed the character of Luthor again and destroyed Superman.

Darkseid being the next villain makes no sense to me.

 

[Superman-Prime]

Fine, SR haters. You all ****in' wins.



Buggs should be happy for all of this bull****! I'm super pissed.

 

[Gotham]

Darkseid?

That would have been... amazing. Goddamnit!

 

[SuperDaniel]

Darkseid? YeAH...RIGHT..
