Names of directors supposedly in the running to helm WB's Superman reboot were all over the net last week. And they kept on coming! Now one of them, Matt Reeves, takes himself out of the picture by revealing exclusively to Blastr.com that he was never contacted.
"First of all, I'm very flattered, because I think there's a lot of very interesting filmmakers on that list, But frankly, I haven't met with him and it's really, I'm sure, just a rumor."
Still, Reeves is a fan..
"I'm sure it will be an amazing project, I have tremendous respect for Chris Nolan and I think that the Superman myth is an incredible story."
And although he may not have been contacted directly, it doesn't mean WB and Nolan haven't been thinking about him and the other directors mentioned!
"I know that Warner Bros. is looking at (Let Me In), but they're looking at any movie that's supposed to be interesting that's coming out. They're a great company, but I have no idea if I would really be in consideration for that at this point."
So, does that mean that if he was, he might do it? Who knows! But for now we can probably scratch Reeves' name off the list.
