G4TV mentions the SR Sequel

http://www.g4tv.com/comiccon2007/blog/date/07262007/index.html#677983

But the DC film representitve seems unsure of whats going on.

 

[Showtime]

As I said previously, a very interesting reaction.

 

[matthooper]

Weren't all the major "characters" signed for 3 movies anyway, including Spacey. So the big news about Superman at CC is the old lady robber is back. Woo-hoo.

It is funny, he seems real excited about everything except Singerman Returns 2.

 

[bgshw44]

why do i have the feeling somethings going on at WB

 

[matthooper]

The reaction is just so awkward. She said this guy was the head of the DC movie division.

Everyone will read into this and extract their own opinion related to how much they care about a sequel. But, it's simply the most bizarre reaction to a simple question.

You spelled the name of the movie wrong its "Superman Returns". Singer was only the director. t:

There's gonna be a SR sequel,deal with it.

 

[Justice Bringer]

Um FYI that wasnt the head of the movie dept; just a representitive from DC creative media.

He came off like a total *****e. For goodness sakes, either confirm the sequel or say its off; enough with this crap and trying to avoid the issue. Take a stance you *****es. Fans deserve a straight answer.

Good Lord that guy must have a second job as an auctioneer.

She called him the head of the movie department and he didn't correct her. Again, whoever he is, he must have expected that question at some point. He looks like a deer caught in headlights.

I don't see anything strange about his reaction.

 

[matthooper]

I don't see anything strange about his reaction.

You have to watch it with your eyes open and the sound on.


If you don't find his reaction weird and strange, the problem is with you.
He hesitates as if he doesn't know what to say, then he stammers, then he simply dances around the question. This guy is a representative of DC and comes off as a moronic fool when asked a simple question.

 

[Justice Bringer]

You're wrong.

Watch it again. She never calls him that. She just introduces him by his name.

Hes just a creative affairs representitive.

You are right, he didn't know what to say. Halan Horn said that they will not decide without reading the script. The script isn't complete, so it is totally logical his reaction.
It's clear that by now the sequel is uncertain, but only because the WB are waiting for the script. If it is good they'll greenlit the movie.
He did not say a word even about the JLA project.

My bad.

 

[Justice Bringer]

JLA may be some ways off.

He said the Flash script is now turned in and Levy is set to direct it.

It will probably have to happen first unless they do a JL film without Flash.

 

[Lighthouse]

There's gonna be a SR sequel,deal with it.

Jesus, can't this and the term "Singerman" just die already? The "Singerman sucks and Singer sux!!" and the "SR is getting a sequel, deal with it" BS is so damn old I get a damn headache just reading it.

 

[gimmen64]

Yep, you are right! All she says is on the movie side.......

 

[Ita-KalEl]

LOL By now we can't say anything. We can only wait for some real news
The fact that Watchmen's release date is in March 2009, give Superman the chance to be the summer movie of 2009.

Remember: the interviews with actors, DC rapresentitives etc. are totally useless.
They can give us only their opinions or wishes.
Only the WB execs/PRs or the writers (Dan or Mike) can tell us the truth.

Your right, but Levy is also attached to a ton of different projects, so who the hell knows when he'll actually do the Flash.

So what the hell happened with the Trick 'r Treat presentation? I thought Dougherty was going to be there. I was expecting questions about the sequel. What happened?

 

[matthooper]

I get a damn headache just reading it.

SINGERMAN


Deal with it. He turned Superman into his pathetic version of a the character to fit a mold that every sigle one of his movie characters are. A lonely pathetic loser who doesn't fit in. A character no one besides a few people on the board now care about.

[Lighthouse]

The WB panel isn't finished.
