Bryan Singer messing WB around with Superman sequel?
Brandon Routh as recently as last week told us that he expects prep work to begin on Superman: The Man of Steel early next year, for a release in June 2009. This would all seem to make sense as director Bryan Singer is busy at work with shooting Valkyrie and fighting off the German Defense Ministry who believed Tom Cruise was evil! The latest comments though by Singer's producers of The Mayor of Castro Street (another movie he has on his potential slate) hint that the Superman Returns sequel won't be his next film, and instead it could well be the Harvey Milk biopic we told you he was interested in shooting back in April.
The next Superman, thats a ways off, claimed Meron to RT. Zadan added: Dont worry about it. Trust me. We may even start preproduction on Harvey Milk while hes on post production on the Tom Cruise movie.This doesn't actually surprise me as much as you would think because Singer isn't the only one interested in a Harvey Milk movie. Gus Van Sant is also trying to rush a Milk biopic into production and as is always the case in Hollywood, whichever movie gets off the ground first usually ends up being the successful. So could Superman: The Man of Steel be delayed for another year and not come out till 2010? Or instead, will they go out and find a different director if Bryan Singer once again fails to commit himself to the project? You know if Superman Returns had actually been the success it should have been you have to believe it would have been the latter as Warner Brothers wouldn't sit on a money making franchise to wait for a director to finish off his personal projects. As it was though, Returns never set the world alight, so maybe WB will wait until 2010? source - slash film
