Superman Fast-Track on Track

Maybe that's why Tom welling is wearing a matrix costume now on smallville cause the WB luvs the wachiwskis so much

The WACH Brothers would do a fine job, look what they did with MATRIX!!!

My dear friend LEEE let us not forget that only The Matrix the first movie of the franchise is awesome the rest of the matrix trilogy is garbage.

We need to see superman come to earth, realize his powers, don the super suit, fly, save lives, fight the forces of evil and die trying to save humanity.

O and by the way eh i have mixed feelings i mean matrix yes superb but....they did speedracer.....speedracer..im lucky i didnt have epilepsy. All the color o...all the color

@set2fall love the hangover reference. look it cant be a superman comes to earth and discovers his powers its already been done plus it takes up to much time, everybody knows how he became superman. it needs to be BIG everything about it has to be huge, if routh stays on (which i think he should) he has to bulk up big time and the fight scenes must be massive with buildings falling down, cars and buses being thrown and craters being made when some1 gets knocked to the ground.

This has major bust potential.

If the Wachowskis are directing, this will suck. If they decide to bring on their old buddy Keanu to play supes, this will suck. In fact, if they do anything but no-show produce this flick, we have trouble.

This is basically Superman's "last chance" before it hits the scrap heap for another generation. They better make it count. Shoulda went Millar.

That ish was hilarious SetToFallFirst !

And oh my gawd i just saw and heard about Ninja Assasin for the first time cuz of this site..... Incredible'!

and i gotta say it.... all 3 of the Matrix's were incredible as well the first was EPIC but the rest were amazing and i bow before the Watchowski's greatness... i am happy they killed Neo in the end. it was right for the story.

And ya know what i also really like Speed Racer.... it was brave and cool. the best adaption of a story that still used all the key visual memories and outfits and personalities we always loved. i had to watch all this stuff on video and dvd and now the computer but i loved the original and the movie was cool too.

F**k warner bros, and f**k matrix! Brandon Routh or nothing! and oh yeah f**k the f**king Wachowski brothers

If they F this thing up hopefully WB will lose the rights and someone else will be able to make it properly... Or Fox will get the rights and make Returns look awesome!

I for one loved Speed Racer and thought that it was a fantastic movie. But anything would be better than that horrible horrible piece of shit that Bryan Singer made.

If the Wachowskis touch this film it's [frick]ed. Those guys are pure hacks there is no other definition for them. The Matrix was a decent film, but way over rated and even hard core Matrix fans admit 2 and 3 sucked balls. Lets not even get in to how horrible Speed Racer was. The guys got lucky and made one half way decent film so lets hand them Superman a character that has been [frick]ed up more times on film than Batman ? Seriously lets not. Like someone said before if they touch the film at all and do anything other than no show produce this film is dead as will be superman on film at least for another 10 or so years.

i say they do a 3 hour epic where there's like 3 or 4 villians darkseid doomsday parasite and metalo!!

yeah, pics!!!

I'm glad AND concerned at the same time about this news. The Wachowski's can definitely do action and bring us a good story. But no slow-motion crap please, not for Superman!!

And no reboot, just move on with the villains we all want!

AND of course Routh needs to stay, like someone already mentioned, bulk up some more and he's perfect to go.

The one aspect I hope that is repeated from Singer's attempt is the continuation of story from the first (possibly second) films by Donner. Its time to move on from Lex and the Kryptonian Villians and meet the other threats in the Universe to Earth. I am sad to say but Reboots call for total recasting and I will miss Routh. The others from SR are no loss to me other than Spacey.

What this Superman project needs to do is show the full power of the character and be the pinnical property for the DC Universe films. Cameo the up and coming while still showing Superman's promiance and domination. There can be amazing stories in film without his death. I just hope a good one can be had.

Set2Fallfirst@ I also have that feeling ...

just once it would be nice if someone gaves Supes the big screen movie he deserves... I mean the first 2 superman movies were good for their time... but it's time for a modern take.

I don't mean any disrespect, but I really believe that this posting from IESB is nonsense. I was speaking to someone at Warners at Comic-Con whose name I won't reveal -- and anyone who knows me, knows I've been doing this journalism thing for about 25 years now, and I'm certainly not the sort to post anything but facts (unless clearly stated as conjecture). I was told in no uncertain terms that there is NOTHING going on with Superman right now in terms of a film. Will there be another Superman film some day? Of course. Likely to happen in the next few years? No. At the moment there is no script in development, no meetings taking place.

Back when George Miller was prepping Justice League, IESB continually posted rumors from sources stating that Tom Welling was in negotiations to play Superman in that film. It simply wasn't true, but every time the fervor dropped, another posting would come out noting that things were heating up, meeetings were taking place and so on. Again, nothing came of it (unless you count a flood of hits from people discussing the situation) -- even before the project fell apart completely. In fact, there was another actor lined up to play Superman.

Those same rumors claimed Al Gough and Miles Millar from Smallville were being negotiated with to let Welling out of his Smallville contract, as long as they could serve as producers. Again, there was NOTHING to that rumor. It just went on and on.

I am a huge Superman fan. Have been for nearly all of my 49 years, and I would love to see these projects more than anyone. I just get frustrated when these rumors that have little basis in fact are continually posted. Not just at IESB, but elsewhere, too. Besides, do you REALLY believe they would hand Superman off to filmmakers whose last film was the disaster Speed Racer? It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Anyway, just my opinion, folks, for what it's worth.

First off I don't think the Wachowski Bro are doing the Superman movie, although I wish they would. I just think it's funny that I made a manip of the new Smallville Superman suit and I used the picture of Neo on the Matrix cover. Maybe a Wachowski Superman movie would use the Smallville Superman suit. I am not saying I would want that. In fact I would want a more traditional suit, but who knows the Wachowski Bro are known for doing thing different.
