Zack Snyder to direct next Superman movie
Deadline Hollywood is breaking the story that confirms Zack Snyder will direct the next Superman movie, following work on Sucker Punch.
“I’ve been a big fan of the character for a long time, he’s definitely the king of all superheroes, he’s the one,” Snyder, who directed Watchmen and 300, told me. “It’s early yet, but I can tell you that what David and Chris have done with the story so far definitely has given me a great insight into a way to make him feel modern. I’ve always felt he was kind of awesome. I’ll finish Sucker Punch and get right at it.”
Snyder is probably the best choice for Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. for a several reasons
- Snyder understands comic book movies and knows how to bring the vision of the creator to the screen
- He has a unique look that will be best served by a film of this type
- Since this film will have a great deal of special effects, he knows what it takes to make them happen
- This would be his third major film with Warner Bros, and his two previous did bring in the bucks
Nolan, Goyer, and Snyder? Sounds like a big win to me.
Check out the All Star Superman trailer
All Star Superman is getting the animated treatment, and now we have the first trailer for the film.
I never did finish the Grant Morrison/Frank Quitely book because it didn’t hit me in the right way. This trailer makes the story seem much more interesting, and I may have to read the rest of the series before the movie arrives just to see how much is/was changed.
Lois Lane’s mother is… Lois Lane
While I’ll always remember Teri Hatcher as the ditsy girl who always got MacGyver into trouble, more know the actress as Lois Lane in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman that ran from 1993 to 1997. As the final season of Smallville ramps up on The CW, new plots and big name actors are starting to show up on the cast list. Hatcher is the latest to appear on the show, and she’ll play Lois Lane’s mother. Hatcher is scheduled to appear in episode eight of the series, and I’m guessing she’ll only be in for an episode or two at most.
If The CW and Warner Bros. really wanted a moment that would go down in history, they would get Hatcher (Lois’ mom), Erica Durrance (current Lois), and Margot Kidder (as Bridgette Crosby) to appear on screen at the same time. Of course if they really wanted to make the Lois Lane circle complete, they’d figure out a way to get Noel Neill and Kate Bosworth in the show, too.
