Check out Millar's post here.
Citing an inside studio source, Millar says that "as of last Thursday night, Mister Jim Caviezel is officially the new Man of Steel and what a perfect choice he is. Expect an announcement shortly. Also, this Superman Returns thing was just for the press release. The movie itself is called Superman (Reeve's was called Superman the Movie) and it's starting everything from scratch. Brainiac. Krypton. Robots. Alien super-cities."
Bryan Singer is directing the film for a Summer 2006 release.
