Oh. I can't tell you that, because depending on how this war ends, we may yet see my September 11th movie. I just want to pay tribute to the men and women who suffered as they did, and the heroic firefighters (I'm hoping to get Hugh Jackman, Nicolas Cage, and Eddie Griffin) who make this country what it is. Also, remember how touched you felt at the close to Pearl Harbor? Times that by a million, cause if you don't leave the theater exhausted and weeping like a bitch, then you're not an American. - Michael Bay

:P

Superman = pro-american hero.

Michael Bay = pro-american (visually talented) director.

I don't see the problem.

Because the longest camera shot will last for .7 seconds. He flips between shots like a hooker flicks between clients.

Better than McG.

This is what's known as 'the lesser of two evils'.

I think Bay is entirely acceptable given the source material and what Warners want from it. Make no mistake - Bay shoots action well. We're not going to get the character-based Superman movie that I'd like to see, but we're certainly going to get the summer blockbuster that WB want.

Sure, it's not going to be a great movie, but it's going to make a fucking fortune.

Apparently all is not well in the Bay-Warner camp. Bay's site was removed this morning and when it came back online the Superman logo had been removed. Word from AICN is that Bay jumped the gun and either hadn't signed yet (we can hope) or that Warners weren't ready to say he's got it.

Stop whining. You didn't really think it was going to be good now did you?...

I personally can't wait for another CGI addled fuck up of a great idea (with McDonald's Free Toy). ;)

So, the definitive version is still Richard Donner's from 1978...fine by me.

Yeah, there's no way they're going to pay Cage another 20 Million after the pay or play deal he had on the original Superman lives startup with Burton directing.

You've got to watch An Evening With Kevin Smith. The superman/Fuck Tim Burton section is worth 5 times the price of the DVD alone!

I think Christopher Reeve should have a role in the film so he can have more money to pay for his treatment. Perhaps he should be a evil computer geek in the film.

Superman can work with Michael Bay as he can't use love story or silly wise cracks between 2 men (Ie Bad Boys).

Perhaps this is a chance he can show people what he can do apart from macho action films.

That's simply not true. Regardless of content and narrative, there are few directors who can match what Bay sees in his eye. Visually, his timing and composition are spec-fucking-tactular.

Ah, screw it, he's rubbish anyway. It speaks volumes how crap and outdated the character is that when DC killed him off a few years back in order to relaunch the character, they hit upon a great idea to make him seem relevant and cool to the modern audience:

Give him a mullet (which Clark tied into a pony tail)

Superman: is shit. Give me an Apollo & the Midnighter movie any day.

Chance of this actually becoming reality: 0%

Unfortunately.

"Let me make this situation clear for you.

I know what special abilities you have. I can see the enhancements. I can detect the increased electrical activity in your brain.

I know what moves you're preparing to make. I've fought our fight already, in my head, in a million different ways. I can hit you without you even seeing me.

I'm what soldiers dream of growing into. I'm what children see when they first imagine what death is like. I'm the Midnighter."

From the Hollywood Reporter:

McG has been on board to direct the project since last summer, in recent weeks rumors have been circulating that there are problems between the studio and the "Charlie's Angels" director over the location of the shoot, according to sources. That has sparked talk that Bay is in line to replace McG. A Warner Bros. spokesperson maintains that the studio is still very much in business with McG and that rumors about Bay's involvement are "absolutely not true"; a WMA spokesperson confirmed that Bay has not been approached about the film. Bay said through a staffer that the site is operated by a fan and that he had no involvement in posting the logo.

:angry:
