Hey guys, quick update here on Superman’s next film. Last information we got regarding a new Superman film was that Christopher Nolan said he and writer David Coyer came up with an idea of putting Supes in a modern day context. Rumors then swirled that either Goyer or Nolan’s brother, Jonathan, would be directing it. Apparently now, another name as to who could direct, has been thrown into the mix.
Superman Homepage is reporting a rumor that Chris Columbus have been offered the director’s chair for the next installment. According to “a source inside the studio,” Columbus is viewed as “the right fit” by Warner Bros., and that nobody from either DC or WB things that Goyer is “good in that arena.” Columbus’ previous films include Adventures In Babysitting, Mrs. Doubtfire, and the first two Harry Potter films.
Remember guys, this story is an unverified rumor of course. But if it’s legit; No No No! C’mon WB Seriously? Chris Columbus? Wow. You’re tapping the guy who did Mrs. Doubtfire and the first two Harry Potter movies (the worst of the series) to take on the most recognized superhero of all time? You gotta be kidding. They should’ve let Bryan Singer do his epic sequel in the first place. Or now, just give it to Jonathan Nolan. I trust him more in the director’s chair, with Christopher guiding him, than having Columbus doing it. Wow. Hope this is a rumor. Please!
What do you guys think?
