So we are to expect a new Superman film in 2010. The news is that it will be a reboot. Okay, “ Superman” The Movie was made 30 years ago, but is still a timeless classic . So do we really need another origin story? Let’s be honest, it will not compare to the original. Can’t we just have another Superman story which continues on from “Returns.” I know some people didn't like it, but it did get good reviews, and Brandon Routh was excellent as Clark Kent/Superman.
Maybe it needed a few changes such as another actress to play Lois Lane, Anne Hathaway comes to mind.
As for Lex Luthor I think Kevin Spacey was okay, but I would like to see John Malcovich in the role.
And finally Perry White, Frank Langella just didn't do it for me, someone like Jon Voight.
Perhaps they could bring in Kate Mara to play Lana Lang.
Finally, who should play the man of steel? Why not bring back Brandon Routh, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
If they do an origin story, no doubt they will have Lex Luthour as the main villain. If they decide on a different story, why not use villains like Brainiac or Darksied. I'm still interested to see where they were planning to go with Superman's son. Was he to be killed off, lose his powers? My idea: he is sent threw some time hole and comes back as an adult villain ( just like they did in the tv show Angel).
Another rumor is that they are giving the director’s chair to an unknown. Is this a wise decision? I recall seeing in an old interview that Spielberg always wanted to make a Superman movie. Now that would be fantastic. Who else would be a good choice? Peter Jackson, James Cameron…
All I ask is the film should have plenty of action, humor, adventure, and a tiny bit of romance. And please, please, please keep the John Williams score.
