Zack Snyder has been chosen to direct the new installment of Superman for Warner Bros. Snyder was on a short list of directors that Deadline revealed recently, who met with the studio and producers Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas.
TNS: "Nightbitch might falter in the story department, but Amy Adams delivers a memorable performance in this funny black comedy."
TNS: "Jim Carrey just couldn't keep away from Sonic 3 and his role as Dr. Eggman -- even after he wanted to retire and have a quiet life."
TNS: "As each new entry struggles, Sony's Spider-Man Universe seems prepared to breathe its last after Kraven's first hunt."
Thank goodness. Out of the people they had short-listed, Snyder was absolutely the one I wanted them to choose. I think, especially under Nolan's supervision, Snyder could do a great job with this.
Im glad Zach Snyder got it, since he has the talent. The only problem is this is going to follow the lead of Batman and pretty much every major motion picture now. Its going to be darker and griddier, and sure thats cool now but is it Superman? Not really. Could it work? If done right and its like the Doomsday story.
Don't get me wrong, but I didn't like Watchmen. I thought the direction was pretty good, but it was super long and super boring. No I dont want explosions and fights every ten minutes, but liven it up. Dont make Superman boring....again.
I see where we're differing now Whoop: what we want out of the franchise. See for me, I just can't buy Superman being "real", that's why I'd prefer a more "stylish" adaptation of it. And for this I think Snyder would definitely be the better choice. I mean I think they still plan to bring a gritty/real-ish feel to it, but I think they may want to go a bit more stylish with it (hence the choice of Snyder). Batman works for being real with it as there's nothing impossible about the lore. However Superman is another story. I'd like them to inject a sort of realism to it, but also have that stylish flavor that Snyder does well with.
I'd say that is a good choice.
long as they not in the reboot i dont care who the villian is.....not!! DARK SEID anyone?
