The Official SDCC Coverage Thread

Wow, Spider-man 4 is already announced for 2011, while we Superman fans sit in limbo waiting and waiting and......

 

[Showtime]

Tenatively scheduled it says. If Spiderman 4 does happen, I don't think it will necessarily be Spiderman 4.

In regards to Superman, don't sweat these things. Be patient. Personally, I want to see Superman on the screen again. I was never one that believed it had to be the sequel, but I think that is what we are going to get.

True true, but at least their talking about spidey 4. As for Superman being a sequel or a reboot, it really doesnt matter to me, I just want something.
Ahh well, my sig says it all.

 

[Showtime]

Personally, I don't think Spiderman 4 is happening, in other words...it won't be Spiderman 4.

I think WB wants Superman Returns to happy with the right story and the right budget, so it will be much more profitable. Sure it was profitable in the end when everything was all bunched together, but since WB is a business they want more. If they can't get more, it won't happen.

 

[GreenKToo]

So spidey 4 will most likely be its own film, with a new cast. Reboot of sorts I assume. That kool.

Regarding Superman, i'm sure they know what the public wants by now. Most seem to want a brighter tone with Brainiac as the villain, and some kicka$$ action scenes.

That is what my thought process is on the Spiderman franchise.

I think Bryan Singer and WB have all acknowledged what needs to be done going forward, problem is, they want to make sure it is profitable.

 

[GreenKToo]

If it has a smooth flowing story, a supervillain(S), and some fantastic action scenes, I have no doubt it will be a success.

Something in your eye?

 

[Eggyman]

Supes deserves a great film, if it takes longer for that to come about, then so be it. Nothing good comes from rushing to keep up with the Joneses . . . or in this case, the Parkers.

I agree. Like I mention before, maybe they should set up a website & ask for fans's opinions on what they should do, doing it this or that, etc. Just like what Favreau did when he made a Iron Man Myspace on talking to fans & asking what they like to see. But some Superman fans asking WB to reboot the film is out of the question though.

Umm....who are the Joneses & Parkers? Kinda ring a bell thought.

 

[Clark Kent]

They probably already have employees hang out here. They might be afraid to set up a website for fear that they'd get loads of backlash over Superman Returns.

Yeah. I wouldn't do that.
Plus, I don't expect the viral marketing to be like TDK. Just give us the damn info. There are a lot of soured fans that won't care about ordering some damn pizza for a clue.

Acknowledging your mistakes is a sure sign of rectifying a mistake.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Yeah. I wouldn't do that.

[GreenKToo]

The marketing on this will have to be on a whole different level than what we saw with S.R.
If its truly going to be all ''wrath of khan'', then they need to market the heck out of it.

The SDCC is one of our last hopes.

 

[Nightwing1977]

The SDCC is one of our last hopes.

I don't think SDCC is quite the answer for any talk on the Superman film. They didn't do that with Batman Begins, did they? I know when they did The Dark Knight, they didn't announce Ledger playing Joker at SDCC. I imagine this could be the same for MoS. But we'll see.

If not the location at least it will be the period. For a sequel that was supposed to be ready for the 2009, they have to say something about it before the end of the Summer. Showtime says that the classic interviews (to the WB execs etc.) in the week of the TDK's release date, should be the occasion to say something.

By now I still hope, but my optimism is almost gone.

You mean to start filming for 2009? Well they don't really have to say anything to tell you the truth, at SDCC, but the timing seems pretty ripe.

I mean that the movie was originally expected for a 2009 release date. After more than two years of silence, if they really want to do it sometime in the future, they need to say at least something concrete.

I don't think that there will be someone ready to be positive about the sequel, if the summer ends without any official word.

If they say nothing, then whether it happens or not, it will be pretty obvious its not a priority for them IMO.

i think MOS will never be a priority . if it happens it will be like JL or SR. a quick change at WB.

IMO at WB they haven't a single idea about the future. They greenlit a new garbage every year hoping to have found their new billionaire franchise.

 

[charl_huntress]

This I agree with. Yet, I do not think this is totally the fault of WB. DC contributed to this madness with their multiverse crap. They could never and probably will never agree on definitive definitions for their heroes. This, of course, has nothing to do with SR since Singer famously ignored the comics, but I think DC's inability to realize their flagship characters in the 90s is a big problem in why WB can't translate said heroes today in live action.

I agree. I think most of us would love to see a cameo of Bruce Wayne in a Supes film, or Clark Kent in a Bats film.

Sadly though, I think that ship has sailed, and with it lots of B.O. $$$.
That said, I'd never say never because this is W.B. after all, and they can/could change their mind on a dime.

They've already spent a fair amount of dimes. Yet, I just hope the get someone at the helm with vision before super hero ship sails away from the public mind.

If they announce a slate and there is nothing involving Superman, then that could mean it is not a priority, but it also depends on the what is going on with Siegel case. They can't go forward with Justice League or a Superman Returns Sequel featuring Superman if they don't know where they stand with the character.

If they don't announce a slate of any kind, related to the comicbook movies, then they just aren't ready yet.
