The Official SDCC Coverage Thread

[merced]

merced you really dont get the concept of The Justice League do you?

read my post again. its not "what i think". its is a summary, a fact backed up by 70 years of DC Comic History.

I understand. I just think WB is looking at it as a business and not as a fanboy. At first JL was going to be basically a SR sequel. Then it was going to be WW and Superman focused. Now stories say Batman will be the anchor. Superman is still in it. It sounds like his role in JL is being pared back as th concept evolves. I think Superman is not a priority for WB now. I think their priority is getting successful solo WW, GLs and others launched.

They should have Singer and company announce the movie there. I'm hoping if he does he has some kind of concept art or Poster of the new Superman movie

 

[Kal-El Fan]

^Singer made an appearance at SDCC for SR, so why not the sequel? That's assuming MOS is going forward. It would be nice to hear something from WB.

 

[dark_b]

give me an example where the director came to SDCC to announce the sequel or a movie.

 

[GreenKToo]

I'm sure we'll get some sorta unofficial announcement before then if their planning on going forward with it. Stuff leaks out ya know.

Also, please remember that I said Singer made an appearance about SR, not that the appearance was announcing it. I was merely stating the possibility.

 

[Dark Knight]

Ya know who I want off this project?

JON PETERS! I want him to have ZERO influence when it comes to MOS!

0...The man brings bad vibes and karma IMO.

 

[Showtime]

He had zero influence on Returns, he basically is in charge of "toys".

 

[bgshw44]

well the sr toys stunk!

 

[Showtime]

They did well with merchandising suprsingly because those toys were bad.

 

[Superark]

I didn't think the toys were that bad, but certainly could have been better

 

[Showtime]

They were hit or miss.

 

[Dark Knight]

See? Even the toys were horrible and Peters was in charge of that?

That guy Peters needs to go!

 

[Showtime]

He'll be there most likely, unless something happens because of the lawsuit he has against him.

 

[dark_b]

a lot of toys are bad. plus we are adults. let leave teh toys to little children. i mean if you are a hardcore superma nand want to collect everything . the nfine. but toys are for little children to play.
i think the toys were good enough for a little guy running on the street with hes toy in the hand.

They are collectables to a lot of people though, so they were a disappointment.

 

[dark_b]

but if they are collectables then why nto call them like that? why call them toys? why not make it for the fans?

 

[Showtime]

It is all one in the same. Kids play with them and adults collect them.

 

[Dark Knight]

Which lawsuit?

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Which lawsuit?

Sexual harrassment lawsuit. Nuff said.

 

[Dark Knight]

Sheesh.....that should be enough to let Peters go as a producer for MOS.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Sheesh.....that should be enough to let Peters go as a producer for MOS.

With all due respect, his producing skills have nothing to do with what he does or doesn't do away from the set.

That said, he had damn-near nothing to do with Returns and will have nothing to do with The Man of Steel next year...

No one ever said it did....but sometimes karma is a you know what....and knowing the mans history behind trying to get previous Superman films made and how he was pretty much involved in wasting a crap load of money on pre production for each adaptation says alot about his "producing skills" as of late IMO. Each director that was involved with the guy when it came to a Superman film, said it was either a "nightmare experience" or "one of the worst experiences of there film career". Numerous other directors declined his offer to direct. Lucky them....

Now thats what I want to hear...and lets hope that if he truly doesn't have anything to do with MOS as you claim, then his name is NOT listed on end credits as producer.

 

[Showtime]

That isn't necessarily true in regards to the producer credit.
