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

Oh no.....

 

[GreenKToo]

The end credits should read.

hair designer: Jon Peters.

LOL....He would even screw that up! Ooops....

^ I can't stand him. He ( like u said ) caused alot of grief on past Superman film projects.
I'm sure you've watched the Kevin Smith vid. about him. Priceless stuff.

Anywho, like I said earlier, if they plan an announcement soon, it will prolly leak out beforehand.

To be fair., noone expected Marvel Films to come out and announce their entire slate of projects for the next 2 years...besides the Iron Man sequel.

Alot of folks were surprised to see Thor, Avengers and Captain America officially announced including release dates; especially when it looked like for awhile Thor wasn't going to happen.

Regarding the forthcoming Superman sequel, it should be worth noting that for the longest time it was listed in the middle to bottom of the "In Development" area (on the official Legendary Pictures homepage) below stuff like Clash of the Titans, Kung Fu, Akira, etc.

And now, it's right on top of that list. Is that a small thing? Yes. But it's worth mentioning because it appears to have become a higher priority than projects that do officially have writers and what not involved.

Just some food for thought...

Apparently W.B. had a ''clash'' of their own revolving around J.L. and M.O.S., and it looks like the M.O.S. proponents won.

Regarding SDCC. I'd geek out if they pull a marvel and announce a whole slate of C.B. films.
Its not likely to happen, but its still something interesting to think about.

Can't see anything being announced at Comic-Con DC related other than the Superman sequel...maybe Shazam!

My $$$ on the "big news" at SDCC being Star Trek footage and/or official pictures of the cast in costume, Marvel Films make more announcments (i.e. casting, director/writer revealed, etc.) and TMOS.

If WB announces the sequel before SDCC, then they might have a panel consisting of Bryan, the writer(s), producer(s) and maybe Brandon. There wouldn't be anything to show obviously.

The filmmakers behind The Incredible Hulk did something similar during the 2006 SDCC correct me if I'm wrong. It had just been announced a month or so prior and noone had been cast. It was just the filmmakers talking and going over everything with the fans about their intentions, what to expect, etc.

Your correct. fan interaction at its best.
Side note here. J.F actually opened up blogs and asked fans what they wanted to see in Iron Man. Look at the result of that, $$$$.

 

[dark_b]

please. lets not even start to talk about IM. i hope that there are nto people here who think that the movie made so much money because it was faithfull to the comics.

it has nothing to do with the comics. it was just a movie for the masses.

thank the gods for that one. Does anyone here think it ludarcis to try and start a justice league franchise, without any of the already established franchises? I just wish that I could understand DC's approach to their movie properties. It's been like a decade since Marvel started pumping out their 'nex-gen' superhero movies... all which feel like they fall in the same, if not similar universe, which totally opens the possibility of crossovers for them. This is what WB/DC should be after IMO... but it never seems like they ever seem to learn/move in that direction.

I've never understood why they don't either.
Just imagine a mention of Bale's Batman in M.O.S. or vice versa, setting up a world's finest film. Pure gold there IMHO, but alas, it will never happen.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Personally, I think the closest thing you'll ever see to Justice League is a World's Finest-type "team-up" film with Routh's Supes and Bale's Bats (i.e. post Batman trilogy and Superman sequels).

I know that. You have to please the public first since they buy most of the tickets, BUT, if you can please the fans, the public will most likely love it as well.
Go to the I.M. boards and see if their split over I.M. like we are over S.R.
No C.B. film is 100% faithful, but I.M. is mighty close. The fans were pleased as well as the masses. It goes hand in hand IMHO.

It's not DC's approach, it's WB. WB's approach to the JLA film was completely asinine and mind boggling. Start a JLA franchise while still making Batman and Superman films with different actors for the JLA and solo films? WTF?!? Are they purposely looking to sabotage their own franchises? Then, the reasoning goes, that JLA was to be made to create awareness for characters such as Flash and GL and then they would get their own solo movies. But even then, JLA was to feature Stewart GL while the solo film was to focus on Jordan GL. And Roven confirmed his Flash would have nothing to do with JLA Flash, so different casting there too.

I so hope this version of JLA is dead, it just sounds like a complete disaster. And the casting that was put together was completely uninspiring, it was turning to be a joke. However, even though this version is on life support, I won't be entirely relieved until I hear George Miller confirm it is not happening anytime soon.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Singer had better not show is face at Comic-Con. Routh maybe(he just played the part). Just announce the movie and maybe some concept art and move on to Shazam.

i agree. there is a superman script on some table that would be for the masses and for the GP. it can be done .and IMO it can be done with 150 milions. but dont expect grounbdreaking effects. you need spielberg,cameron and ILM or weta for this.

whats funny is that IM didnt have grounbdreaking effects and it didnt have nothing new when it came to action. but the combination of story,humor,main actor,suit,CGI and action was so good that it didnt matter. it was good enough .

its pretty simple. WB was lying. thats why it didnt make sense about the solo GL and flash. they were lying.

i know that thisis a buisness and that they want make money. but why not be honest? JL was meant to make bilions. it was meant to be a mega blockbuster. simple as that. it was to make money that BB and SR couldnt make.

 

[Dark Knight]

Hmm....why can't WB's hire WETA to do the F/X for MOS?

Yep! I said the samething.....

i think that they sned to the CGI studios some papers what they want. then every studio needs to show them some examples if they can handle it.
i think sonyimageworks did a great city presentation that they liked. but i dont remember the details.
does anyonoe remember the details?

I think this is a perfect example of too many cooks in the kitchen.
One exec wants this film, while another wants this one, blah blah blah, etc etc.
IMHO, There needs to be a C.B. film division at W.B. and pronto.

 

[Retroman]

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

That would be great but i wouldn't bet on it just yet.

^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.

And he was there the following year too to talk up the dvd and the sequel.

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

Jon Favreau, Louis Leterrier, Edgar Wright (Ant Man), Tim Story, Zack Snyder.....


Some news...Jim Lee will be at Comic Con this year. I doubt he knows anything about the sequel but if i'm not mistake he did do the artwork for the DC Comics opening in SR.

Jim Lee
Acclaimed comic book illustrator Jim Lee was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1964. Today Lee is the creative director of WildStorm Studios (which he founded in 1992) and the penciller for many of DC Comics’ best-selling comics and graphic novels, including All Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder; Batman: Hush; and Superman: For Tomorrow.
