Looks like the studio is pretty confident on a massive hit for Superman Returns. So much so that word on the street is that they’re gearing up to actually start shooting a Superman Returns 2 in late 2007. That’s not a ton of time for all the pre-production on a project this scale.
The good folks over at Superhero Hype give us the following:
Bryan Singer may not direct the remake of “Logan’s Run” after all. Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver want to start lensing the sci-fi pic this fall, which would mean Singer might end up shooting two tentpoles — “Logan’s” and a “Superman Returns” sequel — back-to-back. No one begrudges Singer for seeking a break from big-budget projects, although the filmmaker probably won’t make an official decision either way about “Logan’s Run” until “Superman Returns” bows in July.
Apparently Singer has had a total blast working on Superman and doesn’t want to leave the franchise just yet. It also said in the article that he may just serve on Logan’s Run as a producer and hand the directors duties off to someone else like V for Vendetta director James McTeigue.
Mark my words… Superman Returns is going to rock. (Special thanks to Ram for the heads up)
