Comingsoon talked with director Zach Snyder in an exclusive phone interview recently. The main topic of the conversation was his new film Sucker Punch. However, the subject of Superman did come up and Snyder did offer a few new pieces of information.
On using a different creative team than usual for Superman..
Yeah, you know, I really wanted to, but they're all out on other movies now, so I don't know if they'll be able to, because "Superman" is going so fast that none of my people expected it was going to be so quick and that I'd have another movie up so fast, and "Superman" has come pretty quick. Because they try and get their next geese in line, so I'm kind of having to go to another team for "Superman" but I will be back to my people as soon as I can.
On whats going to happen to other projects he had planned before taking the Superman gig...
Yeah, absolutely. "Heavy Metal," no one wants to do that, but I just basically made a "Heavy Metal" movie, that's what "Sucker Punch" is. I've got a script for "Illusion" and I have a script for "Xerxes" and I have a script for "Army of the Dead," so there's a lot of stuff we have that we can work on, but I think that I'm just going to knock this "Superman" movie out and then see how we feel about what we want to do after that.
On when shooting is set to begin...
For "Superman"? No, we're going to shoot it at the beginning of August.
On when we can expect more casting announcements...
I know I think that, too. Soon, soon. I can't say exactly when but I think you should stay tuned. The movie is growing and getting more awesome every day, so it's good.
