Sequels The Official Mike Dougherty & Dan Harris Thread

[X Knight]

so......is Singer still on board???? lol.

 

[Showtime]

If Dougherty and Harris are out, then Singer is out. Harris started working on outlines of the script, Dougherty took over and continued the work. Bryan and Mike pitched the sequel, contrary to what was reported, WB didn't like what they had to do with it. Now WB is moving on. The sequel with Bryan at the helm is officially dead at this point, and the chance of a sequel seems dead to me as well.

 

[Superman-Prime]

GOOD! I bet you're ****in' HAPPY!

 

[Showtime]

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.

That is what I heard the villian was as well previously. I told several posters on the board.

 

[SuperDaniel]

Brandon should be in JL now.

Still...why didnt they thought of that when they made SR?

Maybe they would`ve butchered another great character in the DC universe...

Mr Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane are good Batman villains and look at Batman & Robin...

Who would`ve thought of Ra`s al Ghul for the first Batman movie and make it work?

This is great news. The script for SR was, for the most part, terrible. I hope they bring in someone a bit more heavyweight to give the screenplay the right florish.

I'd love to see Routh in a brand new Superman film. They can discard SR altogether as far as I'm concerned.

The Plane sequence was great, but it's been on HBO a lot these days and I think the CGI Superman don't stand up at all.

 

[SuperDaniel]

They should make a restart now. AND BE FAITHFULL TO THE COMICS. NO JJ ABRAMS BUL****!!

They shold scrap the sequel, get Brandon in JL, and have Darkseid as the villian in the 2nd movie.

Not sure what would have happened, if the 1st draft was completed, it might be leaked at some point.

 

[SuperDaniel]

Unfortunately, i think Brandon Routh is the new Superman so i`m just sad because of him. He was the only good thing Bryan Singer did for Superman. I want him to be Superman again.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

I want another restart with an origin story if SR is dead myself. Reintroduce the characters completely. Although there is possibility Supes movie franchise as a whole is dead

 

[Superman-Prime]

Wow, SR haters are sooo happy for this pathetic news, and officially for them, it is now dead.

I'm so sick of SR haters BULL****. You guys are pathetic.

 

[bgshw44]

i have no problem with this, i will have a problem if the sequel is not made, however i believe this move was made to get the ball rolling with what wb wants for 2010 in MOS.

 

[Showtime]

I hope Brandon gets to continue the role as well, but I think he is a victim of other people's misjudgement.

Settle down. Nobody is saying anything bad, its just opinion.

 

[bgshw44]

why do you guys think that MOS will not be made?? WB wants the franchise, but they want it their way

 

[Superman-Prime]

I'm beginning to give up a hope for the sequel, STARTING NOW.

 

[SuperDaniel]

Brandon was the only good thing of the movie. I really hope he continues to be Superman. But, as a Superman fan, i believe this open doors to more better directors to helm Superman. Bryan Singer is a great director but he was never right for Superman.

 

[Showtime]

I think Superman will end up being considered a "Choose Your Own Adventure" type movie. After watching Superman 1 & 2, you could go on and watch Superman Returns or move forward and watch Superman 3 & 4. The same thing happened with the Halloween series.

If Dougherty and Harris are out, then Singer is out. Harris started working on outlines of the script, Dougherty took over and continued the work. Bryan and Mike pitched the sequel, contrary to what was reported, WB didn't like what they had to do with it. Now WB is moving on.

Thank God, I am glad Singer will not touch Superman again.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Can't Singer make the sequel with different writers? I don't see why the sequel is dead? Unless Singer insists on working with Dougherty and Harris, I don't see why it's not possible for him to return. Although at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it was announced that Singer is out of MOS, too.

 

[Robin91939]

Singer, in my opinion, will be still be on this project. I think that Siinger's best friend, Christopher McQuarrie (Usual Suspects, The Way of the Gun, Mayor of Castro Street) will be tapped to write the film. I myself am said to see Dan and Mike leave. I would like to see where they were going to take their vision in the sequel rather than see where someone else is going to take it.

I also love how so many people claim that Singer has no respect for source material but say that his X-men films were brilliant and that X2: X-men United is arguably the best comic book film ever made (And Mike and Dan wrote it). I don't see how you can have it both ways. He made a good film in Superman Returns. It wasn't the modern age Superman like most were hoping for or expecting. This was a clash of the Golden and Silver age Superman, and a good film.

then why wont they just hire a new director and new writers? why does the sequel have to be dead. you have routh, you have pretty much all the pieces.

It is highly unlikely that Singer will continue without Mike and Dan, unless they reached some kind of agreement that WB is bringing another writing team in to do the sequel and Bryan agreed to direct it. Highly unlikely.
