Superman To Return in 2009?
posted in Future Movies |
According to director Bryan Singer, Superman returns again a second time.
Singer, who directed the current Superman Returns, told fans on Friday at Comic-Con International, that he has had discussions with Warner Bros. Pictures about directing a sequel for release in the summer of 2009.
Superman Returns, stars ‘Man of Steel’ Brandon Routh, has grossed around $169 million domestically to date, a figure that has been regarded by some observers as a disappointment given the movie’s production costs of more than $200 million.
But Singer also said that plans for the sequel are still tentative, he expressed his interests in keeping the franchise aloft.
“I plan to get all ‘Wrath of Khan’ on it,” Singer said–a reference to 1982’s Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, which is generally considered as having breathed life into the Star Trek franchise after 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture suffered critical barbs. We haven’t concluded a deal. That’s always iffy, Singer added. “The intention is to do it for 2009.”
