Missy Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Whoa! This is a very, very, very long read. As in 12,000 words long. Nonetheless, it is an interesting look at the long and twisted road to Superman Returns. Besides the fanboyish slant, the only real downside is that the report is incomplete; it ends around mid-2004. So we don't get to see how they went from the jumbled crap that was the original script to where it is today. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Interesting stuff, but as you say Yoda, very long and pretty slanted. I've found that Wikipedia has a more concise version about the pre-production here (and mentions Singer as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Logan Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 That Wiki is my favorite, if only for the mental picture of Kevin Smith going all Silent Bob on the Superman script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 You should check out "An Evening With Kevin Smith...". He goes over the whole Superman fiasco and it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Peters is intrigued, but insists that if Smith is to take the job, he must follow three rules: "I don't wanna see him in 'that suit'." "I don't wanna see him fly." "He's got to fight a giant spider in the third act." The three eules get funnier everytime I read them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I love that read, and I actually remember Kevin Smith being on Leno (I think) and talking about it. The 'who is this Kal-El guy' comment is my favourite. Gotta love the money men in Hollywood. On a side note, Marvel is owned by a toy maker, and none of their recent movies are obvious merchandise vehicles... nice to see Arvi Arad respects both businesses seperately.
