Legendary(who co-financed SR with WB) seems pleased with the results and is on board to finance the sequel which the President of WB not long ago said the sequel is going to be out in 2009 with Singer still aboard.

So now it seems like both companies are ready to pay Singer for another piano throwing kid sequel.

Does this mean Willco will never get to write his Superman film?

Ultimate question: Will Willco be there opening night to witness the further adventures of Super kid?

I agree. Superman Returns was awesome. WB should let Singer do 50 more.

Haha, this one will do even worse than Returns did unless they feature Lobo or Brainiac or some kind of alien supervillain in every, single trailer and advert. There's no anticipation whatsoever.

You'll be there day one with your imax 3D goggles.

You'll be hyped come May 2009. Brandon Routh wins everyone over.

I'll see it only after they announce braniac or some crazy alien dude is in the story and he/she kills superkid and sends Superman into a fit of rage.

I hated how sappy returns was i'm sorry it was stupid. Not enough spacey in that movie to save it. I like the cinematography but as a story it was bullshit. And superboy needs to fucking die that was a lame cop out

Cheebs · « **Reply #11 on:** August 30, 2006, 01:41:43 PM »

Tell me Willco, which would you fear more?

Matt Damon's star power as Captain Kirk + 60's nostalgia leading to Star Trek outgrossing The Dark Knight in 2008 OR

Pirates 3 crushing Spider-Man 3 next summer.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #12 on:** August 30, 2006, 01:49:52 PM »

I don't have much pride tied to box office records, especially when I like the Pirates series. If it was Superman breaking Spidey's records, then I'd cry.

BRAINIAC OR BUST!!!!! But they should have re-instated him into Supes' origins like the TAS team did... :'(

My NC-17 Superman 6 script featuring a homosexual orgy with Lobo, Brainiac and General Zod is still in development.

Superman Returns was the most boringly plodding foray into the supernatural since Brad Pitt snored audiences worldwide in Meet Joe Black.

On the other hand, a sequel means we might get a second action sequence involving Superman! Yay!

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #17 on:** August 30, 2006, 02:39:58 PM »

Ang Lee will direct, with Heath Ledger as Jimmy Olsen and Jake Gyllenhaal as Superman.

Pretty much. Singer's too "calm" for Supes, imo. $:-\$

Believe it or not F4 was more entertaining to watch than SR. And it probably cost like 1/4th as much cash to make.

You have no taste. Granted I refused to watch F4, but there's no way it's better than Superman Returns.

"More entertaining" doesn't equal "better", just "less boring and ham-handed".

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #29 on:** August 30, 2006, 03:43:35 PM »

Pfft don't get me started on F4. Leave it to a black man to ruin the movie for Marvel's first smash hit comic of the 60's.

Jessica Alba? Invisible Woman was not supposed to be uber hot. Ugh. I will NEVER watch that movie

Yup. It's definitely not a good movie, but hey, at least it has more than 1 action sequence.

Willco would probably agree with us. You're in the minority, Pheonix. Now bend over.
