I dug Incredible Hulk . A lot. Letterier fits the bill as far as the “Action Director” Millar hinted at. Though in fairness, Singer is the better allround director & his action chops are nothing to sneer at. I reference the Wolverine/Mystique & Wolverine/Sabertooth fights from X1 & ALL the bangin’ fight scenes from X2. Give the dude one more chance to “Go all Wrath Of Khan” on a Superman flick & then reboot.

First of all i think Mark Millar said they got an American Director on board so i think Louis Leterrier is not a possiblity here and i don’t like him to make a Superman anyway, sure he is a good action director and we had’t seen any real action in superman movies after 5 movies and he did a great job on hulk but the point is Superman needs Drama (not too much but a god needs a Drama) and there won’t Ed Norton there to help him

BTW I like Returns cause it is much more better than those stuff they back in 70s & 80s but I don’t LIKE Singer cause he don’t comicbooks he just makes movies and as a usual comicbook reader i am totaly pissed with X-men (this is not Cyclops man) and as a moviefan I have to say that the actions sucks

I was thinking about spielberg to do it or even I can handle a movie made by James Cameron but I don’t these guys could be involved

And in the end we must remember that Mark Millar lies most of the time (I realy like the guy and am a fan of his works but he lies)

Isn’t Leterrier connected to the remake of ‘Clash Of The Titans’?

In any case, I don’t see Singer stepping down from this. Not completely anyway.

If he were replaced? I still stand by what I said ages ago in related comments. Roland Emmerich….and I hated 10,0000 BC and I’ll still say…Roland Emmerich.

this was my idea! i liked spuer man returns, but i can get how some one doesn’t like it. it was like there was no voilence, no major fight like any other comic book movie to seal the deal off. i liked it, but they better top it.

I never understood why the background of the Superman movies became the norm. I hate the ideal of Krypton as a crystal planet. It makes no sense because Jor-El sent him to a planet that was suppose to be like Krypton, and Lex Luther is always played as a joke in the movies. Have the learned nothing from the comics. I was disappointed and in awe of “Superman Returns” but it’s one franchise that needs a reboot. Keep Routh though. He was the best part. Lose everyone else including Singer.

I love the Superman movies, even the bad ones. I know them all back to front and i’m with Rick on this.

I don’t care who makes it anymore, just friggin make it.

I totally agree with you Doug, I can’t believe how somebody thought the super bastard was a good idea, they all must have their eyes taken out for comitting such attrocity. At this point, and even though I liked some elements of superman returns, it still is an old fashioned outdated character, a reboot is necesary to make it more appealing.

Hi, since I’m French I can tell you what Leterrier said about Superman. He said to the guy who asked the question : “It’s funny that you ask me that because maybe I was offered to do it”. Which obviously confirms that the studio approached him.
By the way, I saw The Dark Knight today at a press screening in Paris. It is awesome! It’s very dark, very spectacular. All the actors are great. ALL. Of course, Heath Ledger does an outstanding performance (he deserves to be nominated to the Oscars) but it’s not a One man show. Nolan was intelligent enough not to sacrifice his movie on Ledger’s performance. Although the audience was 99% journalists (French critics! Horrific, no?), they applauded several times during the movie (which is quite rare at a press screening), they applauded at the end of the movie and one more time when the hommage to Heath Ledger appeared in the end credits. Personnally, The Dark Knight is one of the greatest super-hero movie of all time and certainly one of the best movies of the year so far.

I want SInger to direct it. He revived comic book movies single hand-idly with X-MEN.

I don’t care who directs it… If it is good then do it. I enjoyed and was disappointed at the same time with Superman Returns. I’d like to see them correct the mistakes. If Leterrier did do a reboot, I’d like to see him do what he did with the Hulk. He didn’t discredit the first movie I mean it even begins where the Ang Lee one left off… I know he said it was a reboot, but if you didn’t know that you could see it as a sequel just done much better. THis way if they did it with Superman they could still tell a new story, but maybe not discredit the whole superkid thing and lois’ new guy… Even if they used a new cast, they shouldn’t discount the old stories
