Mark Millar On Directing Superman Movie

Now i dont know if much people have been following the Superman Returns sequel news, but directing of Wanted, Mark Millar, has been in the talk for the next director. While director Bryan Singer accomplished the Superman Returns movie and was already planned to make the sequel.

Now the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that Superman Returns was not the greatest movie in the world, not horrible, but not great. The problem is Bryan Singer had to restart the franchise, not everyone had watched the classics, so he had to restart it and bring a new Superman to Hollywood. The poblem is people like me are really tired of watching the beginings to differnt characters and this was no exception. Ironman did it with a little extra jazz by getting to the point that he is Ironman and move on, which is what all comic franchises need to do.

So in actuality Bryan Singer never really got a chance. The movie was going to be boring or whatever you say about it no matter what because its a begining story, its introducing you to singers Superman. So im proposing we let Singer have a chance and see what he can do with an actual story, after all look at Xmen and Xmen 2. Lets take Superman and move on to other stories, more interesting stories.

However Mark Millar has a differnt idea, and its not that i dont support him as a director, its that i dont support him with Superman. Ive yet to see any script ideas from him and all ive heard is he wants to "re-invent" Superman, and thats the last thing i want. I want Superman Doomsday live action and more deep stories, i dont want to watch Superman never get past the beginings with Lex Luthor. After all this is why Superman Returns failed. Lets not reinvent Superman, lets keep Brandon Routh because he is amazing and dedicated to the roll, and lets move on with the stories.

Now another thing is the fact that Millar is bashing Superman Returns and basicly saying Singer is not fit to direct the movie. Now the problem is your saying a movie you want to make a sequel to is horrible, so what are the fans going to think when the new superman comes out? I can tell you now your not going to get lines out the door like The Dark Knight did.

Not only that but according to every interview he is saying he is a huge Superman fan. However he failed to mention the fact that Singer stepped away from one of the most succesfull trilogies ever to make Superman Returns because he is a fan too. Xmen 3 was Singers movie to make, he could of made ALOT more money making X3 and yet he stepped down to make Superman Returns. He took a risk and is still dedicated to sticking with his decison, and you are merely trying to steal it away.

Just look at Batman Begins compared to The Dark Knight, WB allowed them to have a more intriguing story with The Dark Knight and Nolan did an amazing job with it, so why cant Singer have the same thing?

Well in a interview released today he specificly stated that his "secret director" has phoned him and they are suposedly getting closer. Mentioning the fact that they want to reboot the series and want him on that team because he is so "dedicated" to Superman. Im sorry to be on him like this, but no its not what the fans want its what he wants. I want Superman to move on, he wants to reboot it. I know he just wants to be apart of it, but maybe he should work with Singer on furthering the story? Lets not restart it PLEASE!

So all i ask is please Singer please take the next movie and move on with the story. Get your chance you should of had with Returns. All i ask is we DONT restart the franchise and we move on. Do something Nolan did with The Dark Knight and move on and leave the past what it is. I know Superman stories are not as deep as Batman but something can be done and its right there. Just listen to the fans!
