TheSteve Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I trust the direction, but you still need to either go within the franchise or go outside of it, picking and choosing just makes it complex. Imagine if Batman Begins only felt that Batman, and Batman Forever counted in its continuity. Just puts too much extra work to understanding the movie. I know I will need to pick up Superman the Movie and Superman II in order to really follow the movie, since it sounds like a plot that requires some prior understanding.

TheRetreater Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Highlander managed to boot very specific portions, if I may play devil's advocate, and it succeeds as decent. But likewise, I'm also not a fan of Superman. And while i'm a fan of Singer, this is a completely different type of film than he has succeeded with in the past. It could be made good but I think it has an equal chance of flailing within mediocrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. All we're really going to need to know is the basics... and maybe a thing or two about... wait, that's a spoiler. Nevermind.

TheSteve Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I can buy that vision of Lex Luthor, although that pose is not good for him, he should almost always have his head held high as arrogantly as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe that's a shot from the movie. Having seen the rest of the pictures, it's more likely that Spacey is walking towards the set.

Missy Posted May 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Warner Bros. pushes up "Superman Returns" release LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Warner Bros. is moving the release of its widely anticipated movie "Superman Returns" ahead by two days in a bid to boost ticket sales over the U.S. Independence Day holiday, a studio official said on Wednesday. "Superman Returns," which stars newcomer Brandon Routh as the fabled Man of Steel, was scheduled to hit theaters on Friday, June 30, but Warner Bros. will now send it out on Wednesday, June 28, a full seven days ahead of the Fourth of July holiday. First-run movies typically debut in theaters on Fridays, but in recent years ahead of holiday weekends, Hollywood studios have opened movies on Wednesday to take advantage of advance hype and fill theater seats during the week. Last year, Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks opened their science fiction adventure "War of the Worlds" on the Wednesday before Independence Day and bagged $112.7 million over six days. In 2004, Sony Pictures' "Spider-Man 2" raked in $180 million in a six-day release over the same holiday. Warner Bros. is attempting to reinvigorate an old franchise with the new film about the comic book crime fighter with superpowers. The last time a Superman movie was made was 1987's "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" starring Christopher Reeve in the title role. In this new version, Superman returns to Earth after a long absence only to find the love of his life, Lois Lane, has moved on. As he sorts out his personal life, an old nemesis plots Superman's demise. Warner Bros is a unit of Time Warner Inc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Makes sense, big movies usually get a wendesday opening, espicially if it's a holiday weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2006/05/more_su...ns_posters.html Here are the final posters for the movie. Also, Have you seen the Taiwan poster? They should have left out the big wave coming towards the beach in my opinion. http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2006/05/superma..._to_taiwan.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 anyone else not enjoy the bit with Lex and Lois when he asks her to say something and then cut her off. I don't like him prancing around the way he did, just doesn't seem like a Lex Luther trait.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Remember when Tim Burton was going to make the new Superman movie? This is what we almost got. Edward Superhands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 The article which was posted in this thread mentions such a costume, but I could have sworn it said Tim was against the cape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kariyanine Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 The article which was posted in this thread mentions such a costume, but I could have sworn it said Tim was against the cape. A part in "An Evening With Kevin Smith" details Smith's dealings with Burton when he was signed on to do a rewrite of the script for "Superman Lives" and it is downright hysterical. Burton would have so killed this movie. I like some of Burton's work but making Superman into an H.R. Geiger bad ass would have been the absolute death of Superman. Oh and they wanted a giant spider in the film as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 11 clips from Superman Returns http://www.iesb.net/warnerbros2006/061306.php Very spoiler heavy. It gives away where he has been in at least 2 of the clips. In the rooftop scene I really thought he was Christopher Reeve at first. ****Spoilers**** In the first video it looks like the same place Lex was in during the first movie. It even has a pool just like it(the one that Supes almost died in). Also, is that Miss Teschmacher in that scene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 The more I read and hear, the more I am not looking forward to this movie. Thoughts and suspicions I had from the previews are being confirmed, and not in a goodway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
