So the endless tale of Superman is finally looking for some directors. It seems like so long ago that Superman Returns hit the theaters, received very good reviews and then a sequel(or reboot?) got lost along the way. It seems like they're going the route of a reboot(who isn't these days?) and I, among many others, am confused.
Nonetheless, another Superman movie is eventually on the way and directors are being looked at. 5 to be exact. Those 5 are: Tony Scott, Zack Snyder, Matt Reeves, Duncan Jones and Johnathan Liebesman.
To give you some credentials on these guys...Matt Reeves has directed Cloverfield and Let Me in(coming out soon I might add), Duncan Jones has only directed a movie called Moon, Johnathan Liebesman directed both Darkness Falls and more recently the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Tony Scott has Man On Fire under his belt and finally, Zack Snyder has Watchmen on his resume.
A nice wide range of choices here but who is most suited to take on this daunting task?(See what I did there?) It's hard to come up with a clear cut choice. Snyder having done Watchmen already has some experience with comic book adaptations, even if it was a boring one. Liebesman on the other hand has more experience with darker stories, if Superman goes in that direction.
Which ever way it goes, this all makes for interesting news.
