Superman Returns
A while back director Bryan Singer promised fans that he would have the sequel to Superman Returns do for the Superman franchise what Wrath of Kahn did for Star Trek. TodayOnline recently caught up to Singer and, like all good directors in love with their material, he is still sticking to his promise.
Superman Returns Sequel Details
Bryan Singer continues to do all he can to keep the Superman Returns sequel alive. Legendary has already admitted that they would back the project and, without the need for a large part of the R&D, Warner Bros is guaranteed a much cheaper film this time around.
Besides, how could they deny such good film analogies from Singer?
However, at July’s annual Comic Con
International in San Diego, a convention of
comic book, film and science fiction fans, Singer
had revealed that the follow-up film would have
more action.
“I plan to get all ‘Wrath of Khan’ on it,” he
told convention goers at the time, referring to
the 1982 film Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.
Asked to expand on his remarks, Singer
told TODAY: “What I was referring to was the fact
that, when you do a first film like X-Men, for example,
you’re introducing a world and a set of
characters.”
“Once those characters are introduced,
once we’ve lived with them for awhile and we
know them, when you get into a second film like
an Empire Strikes Back (sequel to Star Wars: A
New Hope) or a Wrath of Khan, you can make
an action-adventure film and you don’t have to
bank all that time getting to know the characters.
Now you can raise the stakes, raise the jeopardy
and make a leaner, meaner movie.”
Since I dig each comparison, here is to another Superman movie. And, yes, let's have a little bit more action this time around that doesn't just have to do with kyrptonite; that mineral is so yesterday.
Superman Returns is out in theatres now.
