Update On Warner Bros. Search For A Man of Steel Sequel Writer

Fan fav for what? : p

Well at least we got HENRY CAVILL!!!

Gonna own even though the suit ain't the greatest, can't wait!

I hope Goyer isn't off the short list because Snyder had to rewrite the end to MOS. That's dumb!!

DONT WORRY WARNER BROS. ILL DO IT!!!

@StrangerX Zack Snyder did not do the rewrites,Kurt Johnstad (who wrote the script for 300) is the one who did the rewrites. Plus the only thing really tweaked was the final act. Some other rewrites were reported to have been done by the Mulroney's (they wrote the script for Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows). But like I said, they seem to be only tweaks nothing more.

I'm trying to think of a witty response to @Gusto, but I'm to hung over.

they won't* lose the rights.

@drax94 thanks man for that!

So basically if WB wants to produce another movie they will have to pony up some serious scratch for a license to make one. Now, I wonder if that means the next Super man project will be fair game for any studio, or if WB is trying to hammer out some sort of picture deal with Siegels and Shusters. If the license is something that can be obtained by any studio I would be very concerned.

That would also make sense why Nolan and Goyer aren't committed to a sequel. Nolan's Legendary pictures are a subsidiary of WB, and it would be a breach of contract for him to direct for another studio. Makes sense now, good find man.

il write it lol they do need to bring in doomsday but at the very end of the 2nd one &
set it up for the main & epic final of the 3rd

Huh? I loved Clerks and Dogma however I am not really familiar with his movies. Which one did he bash Superman in? I will have to check that one out.

I'm sure if MOS does well they'll reuse the same writer.

@Knight3000

Thanks for the advice!! My wife is out of town on business this weekend, so when I get off work early this morning I am definitely going to do that!

@Sinema666

Okay I get it now. Apparently Kevin Smith did say something like that during a stand up special or something. However, any comic book fan noticed those things right after seeing the movie. I remember turning to my girlfriend at the time and asking her "umm, did Superman punch anyone?" And, "why was he stalking lois and acting like a over emotional teenager?"

After watching the movies that came before it, I remember being terribly confused as to why Lex Luthor (one of comic books biggest bad ass's), only resorts to real estate shcemes in the Donnor/Singer Universe. The rape line I borrowed from my friend because I thought it was a hilarious line.

@Knight3000

No man it's my job. I won't be off until midnight, but by the time I finish case reports it won't be until 2AM. I work in a hospital, and during the down time I post on this site, and discuss CBM to get my mind off my job.

The Siegal and Shuster estates will own the rights to the contents of Action Comics #1 in 2013.However DC still owns the overall Superman franchise including all international rights.Even if someone did try to make a Superman film based on the 1938 version, WB would get all the international BO.The courts have also found that WB would still have all the trademarks to the Superman characters.Again,that means anybody else making a Superman film for the Shuster and Siegal estates would have to pay a percentage of their domestic gross to WB. Bottom line,WB will still be able to exploit the character,in fact,they open themselves up to damages if they fail to produce a Superman film within a certain time frame.What has to be figured out is how much of the overall Superman mythos was established in Action Comics #1 and some other early Siegal and Shuster works in order to figure out a percentage of the profits that WB would have to fork over.The intent of the judge is that Superman is an entire franchise that can't be broken up. At the same time the estates are intitled to a bigger piece of the pie and it is hoped they will sit down with WB and agree to a sweeter deal.The real problem is the attorney for the estates appears to have plans to try to cash in on Superman by setting up his own production company with the intent to force WB to allow him to produce his own Superman flick.
