List Of Possible Directors For Superman Reboot (And Portman A Choice For Lois Lane?)
|
According to Heat Vision, director Darren Aronofsky(Requiem For A Dream, The Wrestler, and the upcoming Black Swan) has been etched into the shortlist of possible directors for the next Superman film. He is said to be in very early talks (maybe even negotiations).
David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan are writing the story and script, which is being “godfathered” by The Dark Knight power-house director Christopher Nolan. Sources have said it might be based on some of John Byrne‘s run in the comics. Maybe instead of the tired old Lex Luthor fueled story, we’ll finally get to see some Parasite, Metallo, Brainiac, or Darkseid. Ok, maybe we’d save the lord of Apokolips for a JLA flick! Wishful thinking?
Another new revelation are whispers that Natalie Portman (already sporting a role in the anticipated Thor motion picture) may be up for the part of Lois Lane. Boy, if that’s the case, they sure do like to pass these actor’s around comic book movies like girls in a small group of friends.
The studio is shooting for a 2012 release. Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas will executive produce the film.

P.S. Superman/Batman:Public Enemies came out today. I really liked the Green Arrow short. Very cool stuff. The way they pick the special features, especially the bonus DC Animated episodes that relate to the movie, is very clever as well(and helpful for those with less knowledge of the DCU). I did, however, think it was the least inspired in their recent line of straight to Bluray/DVD (especially after Batman:Under The Red Hood and the two that preceded it). DC has really been hitting it out of the park. It’s only natural to expect more when they constantly raise the bar. What did you think?!

I thought this was pretty exciting (It would be even more exciting if I was not already working that day). If you have free time and plan on being in either city on those days, contact the respective emails in Warner Home Video‘s official press release below, and cross your fingers that there are still free tickets left. It’s a first come first serve basis. Get on it!
Warner Home Video, UGO.com and The Paley Center for Media proudly present the bi-coastal World Premieres of Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, the highly anticipated next entry in the ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original PG-13 Movies, in Los Angeles on September 21 and New York on September 23.

DC has been blowing Marvel out of the water with amazing back-to-back direct to video epics. Let’s hope they keep it coming. Don’t run out of steam now, guys! Give us what we want; a rogue filled Batman: HUSH flick. A true detective tale. Beat a dead horse much, Chris? Answer…yes! —ExSleepyInk
