The last time I spoke about news on the Christopher Nolan Superman project was back in March and in case you missed that article, here’s the link: http://www.whargarbltv.com/2010/03/02/news-on-the-new-superman-movie/ Since that time, some new news has surfaced today. Of course we already know that David Goyer is writing the script, Chris Nolan is over seeing the project, and it will be called “Man Of Steel”. Now Chris Nolan is hard at work finding a director to helm the next Superman movie. According to Deadline.com Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas “have begun meeting with a short list of directors for the job of directing Superman, the picture which will be financed by Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures. On the list: Unstoppable‘s Tony Scott, Let Me In director Matt Reeves, Battle: Los Angeles helmer Jonathan Liebesman (who just got the Warner Bros/Legendary job of directing Clash of the Titans 2), Duncan Jones, who just directed Source Code, and Sucker Punch helmer Zack Snyder.” Deadline.com also states that “Several of these directors have movie commitments like Liebesman, which make then unlikely.  Nolan has already started meeting with candidates and will submit his choice to the studio within the next few weeks. Warner Bros and Legendary have to get the picture made by 2012, because the studio stands to lose certain rights to the iconic character in 2013 after a judge ruled favorably on behalf of the heirs of Superman creator Jerry Siegel”
      I myself am anxious to hear more news on this movie and hopefully production will begin in mid 2011 but only time will tell. I’m sure some of you are wondering if Brandon Routh will be making a return. I personally doubt it and believe that Christopher Nolan has different plans. I will continue to post news on this as it becomes available. Keep checking back and be sure to sign up as a member if you wish to leave a comment.
