Tom Welling as Superman

[Migu-EL]

Yeah, and The Incredible Hulk is a shining example...

Meaning....

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Meaning nobody knows what is truly going on with the movie and to say the next movie is almost 100% going to be a reboot is wrong. No disrespect to the people at SaveSuperman.com but they are the only ones reporting a reboot. The fact has come out that the WB at one point and time did discuses a reboot but at the moment all signs point to a sequel. And Steve and his wife should at least acknowledge that there this a strong possibility for a sequel given Singers contract. Can it be a reboot yes but more then likely we will get a sequel then a reboot or a sequel or JLA depending on how the WB feels.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Yes.

I believe it ran concurrently with The Incredible Hulk for two short seasons.

Actually it came out a season before TIH. The Amazing Spider-man show ran from 1977-1979. TIH ran from 1978 - 1982 with a few TV movies after that. They were both on CBS as well as the Wonder Woman show with Lynda Carter. CBS was known as the "Super Hero Network" at that time, and some think that was one of the reasons they axed the Spidey show becuase they werent happy with being known for that.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yes yes there is a chance for a mos sequel to happen but steve at savesuperman isnt the only one who been reporting reboot ideas earlier. There has been other sites that have mentioned reports for a possible reboot. Also steve isnt the only one looking to do a reboot, there is mark millar, steve, and a few other people who been reported to be trying to do a reboot pitch. But yea its totally up to wb in what they will be doing.

For them they just really want the most money to be banked off the film so its up to them what they think will get them more money reboot or mos sequel. I said this in other threads though MOS isnt in any good shape though to be happening any time soon. Before singer's writers left all their pitchs to wb were rejected. Then now currently he doesnt have any screen writers, no script for a film, and no green light from the studio. So with that MOS isnt ready any time soon to happen. So right now we have to wait and see what the final decision from bros warner will be.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Singer's abortion of a franchise is dead. We've had countless indicators of that. From his writers getting booted, to the whole JLA fiasco, to the stuff with Millar and Leterrier recently. Every current succesful superhero franchise has birthed or at least started production on a sequel within a 2 year time span. There's no writers, no script, no greenlight, not even any believable rumors for a Singerman sequel. Let's all move on.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea and like i and others said we dont know what wb wants to do with solo superman counting on the whole siegels/shusters court issues, continue mos?, or reboot. We have to play the waiting game with wb to see what goes down with any dc films in 09 and on. Yes it would be nice if singer did have another go to see if he can fix the problems SR had with most fans/general audiences but its up to wb if they think going with singer is the more vaible option. Then yea it also counts on what singer's contract with wb was and how they can either make him get out of the deal or he leaves. Then for any of the cast that did have sequel deal in contracts they will either have to pay them off or make a deal to feature them in another wb made film. We have no solid clue what is going on behind the scenes and most of us do not know how the entertainment business world works out.

.

The cast have option deals. The studios dont have to pay them if they dont pick up their options.

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Well rumor has it that they already have writers for the sequel and the only cast member at the moment not coming back is Kate Bosworth (WB choice). So we'll see how everything plays out.

 

[Webhead2006]

well everything i been reading online at alot of sites singer doesnt have any writers and wb hasnt hired any one for mos. SR writers walked out on singer after there 2 or 3 pitchs for mos to wb was reject to move on to other projects. So i have heard singer is trying to develop stuff but he has not writers on the film, there is no script, and no green light so mos isnt even close to be happening if they even decide to do mos at all. Yea as i said i dont know what the actors or singer's contracts were for wb doing SR so i dont know what they can do with booting them or having to pay them off if they dont do sequel. I have gotten alot of flak on what i have said over in the jla threads/dc comics films threads on what i am saying. But we all know its all up to wb on what they want to do.

Then we have to wait and see what the court ruling goes down in nov with the siegels and wb, what comes from the wb/dc summit talks, and if wb thinks it is viable to do mos with singer, a reboot, or decide not to do any more films untill the whole copyright issues are defined.

Where did this fact come out? I'd like to see the source.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea the big this is with all the on going issues with the copyright, and now the dc/wb summit talks we dont know what wb really wants to do. And MOS yes could happen but at this present time it is in no shape at all to be happening in the near future with no script or greenlight from the studio. Will their be a reboot instead possible since their has been talks these past few months that the studio is looking into pitchs for reboot. As i said a bunch of times its really all up to the studio and what they think will be the most viable option to go with.

Whatever helps you sleep at night

I think it was in the latest issue of Delusional Fanboy Monthly

 

[Doright]

It's all guess work at this point.

I do suspect though if Batman rakes in Huge numbers this weekend you'll see a fire lit under WB's Butt in a bad way. That very well could be what they are wating to see...

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i could see that happening and hopefully with the wb/dc summit talks will finally get other solo film out of developmental hell.

 

[Kalleo]

Well as much as I hate to even suggest I could see a Smallville movie or a Superman movie based off Smallvilles continuity making it to the big screen before any other and that would effectively be a reboot.

 

[RickO'Connell]

If the WB was smart they could sort of pull a HSM & end Smallville this Season & just bring it to the bring screen. Especially since Clark will pretty much be living & working in Metropolis this season & all of that. End this season on a high note & the next Superman movie wont be a reboot at all. But the problem is they can not afford to split up the fan base again after Returns & catering to just the Smallville fans will do just that. They need as many fans as possible behind the next Superman movie

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea thats the biggest problem wb doesnt know what to do and they dont care about us fans. I do as i said before really really hope that there is some big changes coming from the summit talks with wb/dc and they can hire the right people to get behind their film series like a avi arid(spelling) or a laura Z(chick who produced the spidey films) on board for to finally move things out out hell and finally make it on the big screens.

If that ever were to happen (and I really don't think it will), I think people would be surprised at how well the movie would do.

Don't take this the wrong way but don't you think that is a little fan girlish to say ? If the WB were to do that a Smallville movie would need real "Hollywood Writers" & not any past or current ones & they would especially need to cut out the new show runners because I don't think the fan base is even split in half when it comes to not liking the new season. The amazing majority are hating it for the most part aside from a few things. considering how much crap the new season is already getting the WB would need to find brand new writers for a Smallville movie. A Smallvile movie being good would largely depends on who writes it & none of the show runners that Smallville has had fits that

I don't think i'd put to much stock in people who are lame enough to hate a season before its even begun. And the internet peeps who make a lot of noise online make up a teeny tiny percentage of the actual viewing audience.

You're making a lot of generalizations....

I don't know if I've even made up my mind about the new season yet, since it hasn't even started.

I am, unlike some people, willing to wait until the show actually starts airing sucky episodes until I declare the season a complete loss.

I'm a bit skeptical about some of the things I've heard, but I'm not doing spoilers, so what do I know?

 

[Serene]

Sure. Is that a problem? Oh, and I prefer "fanwomanish."

The online fans love to air their gripes based on any and all tidbits they happen to hear. Iincluding myself, of course. It's what we do; we're online fans.

Don't mistake the more vocal griping you may be hearing at whatever SV online board you happen to be hanging out on as being representative of the public in general. The viewing audience of SV has warranted another season - and that's all we know for sure about them.

As far as a SV movie, I certainly do think it could be done successfully. The Fannish Ones would ***** and moan, but ultimately, most would still go see it if it was a well-made Superman movie.

Do you know of whom you speak, my friend?

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0332184/

Check out numbers 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, oh, and ah... 12.

Additionally, they've written various scripts and stories that perhaps haven't been used, but have been considered very heavily, like one Iron Man...

Now, I understand that people can have various opinions about Gough and Millar's writing and showrunning, but at this point, I'd say that they are most definitely established "Hollywood Writers" purely by virtue of the number of feature film credits they have...

Not even counting the ideas they have for umm... that big pink elephant in the corner...

Yea.. It's amazing to me when I see so many SMV fans calling G&M bad writers who have no idea they wrote Spider-Man 2.

When did the first Hellboy come out?
