Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

Matt Bomer is the most logical choice...

Another rumor to add to the mill:

Rumor: WB Wants Chris Columbus to Direct Superman?
Posted on Thursday, July 8th, 2010 by Russ Fischer

Briefly: Another slow-ish news day, another rumor. The rumor du jour is that, while David Goyer is interested in directing the new Superman film being assembled over at Warner Bros., the studio has someone else in mind. Reportedly, WB’s idea for the best Superman director is Chris Columbus.

The report comes from the Superman homepage, and I really hope it is fabricated, exaggerated, or in some way wrong. Columbus has his strengths, or had them as a writer. But I can’t muster up much love for either the first two Harry Potter films, and while Percy Jackson had high points, it also never turned into anything very memorable.

Columbus could turn in a movie that hits all the story points, but I don’t have faith that he could deliver one that really flies. Besides, with Christopher Nolan overseeing the movie, can you really see him giving the nod to Columbus? I can’t.

In the absence of official word to confirm or deny, what do you think about the idea of a Chris Columbus Superman?

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

As long as they don't get anyone to look like any actors that played Superman before. I grew up on Chris Reeve Superman, that should be left alone. We don't need another Bryan Singer like Superman where he tries to imitate Donner. We need a new face and totaly new direction, maybe someone that is actually muscular like Superman really is. I'm tired of the regular looking Superman, true he doesn't need to be big and muscular, but he is suppose to be intimidating.

I wish Nolon would direct this but doesnt seem likely

I agree that the person needs to be muscular, but I don't want them big like Vin Diesel. Just someone that is more the size of Gerard Butler in 300.

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

Someone the size of Butler would be fine. Superman doesn't get his strength from the size his muscles.

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

Just needs to be the same stature as Reeve, imo.

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

it has to be a clone of Chris Reeve!!...seriously i know that probably is not a good idea but i prefer to see cast an unknown that look like Christopher Reeve, and for Lois go get the best looking actress in Hollywood or an unknown

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

I still have a feeling that this could be Jonathan Nolan's directorial debut.
I hope Chris Columbus is not involved

 

[artistrex]

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

I think Columbus would capture the "feel" of Supes but i'm afraid he would dumb it down too much and make it too much like a kids movie

 

[Kuzeh]

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

I think Routh did a fine job as Supes IMO... if only they would've added Rashida Jones as Lois... she has the looks and the charm for the character.

As for Chris Colombus directing... I hope not...

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

I recently read that Nolan wants to keep the hero world's seperate, no mention of other heroes in the movies? Why?

I think Marvel has a great thing going right now with all the cameos of other heroes in each movie building up to the Avengers movie.

DC seems to have a difficult time getting it together in my opinon.

They already tried to cast someone like Reeve. Damn movie became Superman part 5, 20 years later. We need new face, new build, updated costume without the red underoos. New villians that can go toe to toe with Supes in a fight.

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

The problem with Superman Returns was the same problem with Predators. It tries and fails to imitate the original but comes off as a disingenuous ripoff.

 

[CelticPredator]

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

I think i'm the only person in the entire world that does not see the Predator ripoff.

They're in a jungle, and being hunted. That's the only thing that's the same in the plot.

Superman's kid is in Predators?

Re: The Man of Steel/Nolan's Superman

I think Predators was better than Superman Returns to be honest lol
And im a Huge Superman Fan, Predators was good, but anyway,
I Hope whoever directs superman really has a passion for the project and puts 110% into it.
