Registered 10 years agoDespite bitching about him constantly on this place for the last 7 years, I think if I could choose anyone, it would probably be James Cameron. He’s been interested in doing a hero movie before (was originally signed up for Spider-Man I believe), and I reckon he’d do a good job of it. He does epic spectacle very well, and really that’s all that’s needed. The story is all there already.
I’d also quite like to see Peter Jackson take it on for similar reasons.

Registered 10 years agoJames Cameron would take 50 years to make a superman film. He's probably wait till we had real functioning holodecks.
But yes him or Jackson.
Come and get it cumslingers!

Registered 5 years agoJames Cameron of the past might have been a good idea, but modern James Cameron would just make it a giant 3D spectacle and tack the story on as an afterthought.
Peter Jackson's a better idea. He can make big budget spectacles while also keeping the characters at the core of the story. -

Registered 10 years agoAnother idea that pops up from time to time on The Planet forums, is to do a Superman film set in the Golden Age era – i.e. the 30s/40s.
I think it’s a really interesting idea myself. For me one of the reasons why they struggle so much to get Superman right these days is because he just feels less believable and relevant in the modern world, with the darker Batman being somehow a better fit. Flip back to the 30s though and suddenly you have quite a cool concept for a film, and you could even include Batman or whoever you wanted without causing complications as it would be an entirely separate universe.
I reckon the guy that plays Don in Mad Men would make a superb Golden Age Superman. -

Registered 10 years agoI actually watched Catwoman when it was on TV the other week just for a laugh. Suprisingly, it was indeed a laugh. -
I think they should completely ignore most of the canon, and create a story that IS relevent in todays world. Superman's desperation at mankind destroying themselves. Heavy hangs the head that wears the crown. Have him praised as a deity by some, causing more friction - could be interesting places to go.
Now, I've not read many of the comics. I only really have a passing interest. But I loved the movies and the concept from the cartoons as a kid onwards, as well as what I've read outside of that.
Superman isn't interesting on his own. It's the situations you build around him and his reactions to them which are important. Having this man god with feelings and tenderness also having an angry edge at how the destruction of Earth's society reflects the destruction of his own world... that'd be an awesome side to whatever else you can add to it. -

This sounds a lot like JJ Abrams scriptment too.

I reckon JJ should be given another stab at this though, he directed action and emotion better than most last year in Star Trek. He'd just need to dial down the reimagining a little.
With Nolan as the shepherd though none of the names mentioned above will take the job, I'd imagine we'll get some new, fresh upcoming genius. Blomkamp could be very good too, but his ties are too close to Jackson.Goose fat is sponsored by:

I've tried mindscrubbers on that one... didn't obviously work. To be honest it's the only way forwards - naturally instead of nuclear proliferation, which is an obvious threat, it's more terrorism and wars which are hard to fight, both morally and physically.
The conflicted Man Of Steel who represents everything America was, in the new world. I guess it's been done already but as a film? Great! Really good starting ground. Give him an enemy that's the machine behind a particularly thorny problem that mirrors modern day issues... someone who makes even Lex Luthor look like small fry.
The idea behind SIV was generally a good one, just they didn't go about it the right way. At all. In any conceivable fashion. No wonder Reeves was so angry about it! -

Have this super-terrorist dude who wears a powersuit of Kryptonite, bringing the fight one-to-one where Supes can be hurt but retains some of his powers at the end for a final battle. But put it in a situation where he has to be in three or four places at the same time.

Registered 10 years agoThe way forwards (imo) is to do what has weirdly never actually been done – stay close to the comics.
All hero movies live and die on the strength of the villain, and we’re yet to see The best Superman villains on screen. I really don’t want to see Superman dealing with terrorism personally. I do however want to see him fuck up Braniac.

I don't know, I don't find the entire supervillain route as satisfying as the whole mindgame thing. Just having a villain that's just as or more powerful just kind of doesn't do the concept any justice at all. -

For me it is the only way forwards outside of making it so incredibly broad as to become a straight action film in the vein of Fantastic Four. Which I personally already saw...
The Superman TV series got it right. Then it all went wrong in the last series... because of supervillains. -
