It was just last week when we heard the crazy rumor of the Wachowski brothers possibly directing a new trilogy of Superman films that was later debunked – and now we have more Superman rumors!
Peter over at /Film apparently got into a password protected page on the Legendary Pictures website with the help of one of their readers and this particular page listed some interesting information for the next Superman project.
| |
Listed on this page of films in development was a movie titled Superman Unleashed, a supposed sequel to Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns. The synopsis of the film listed on the page went as follows:
“Ramping up the action of its esteemed predecessor, the sequel to ‘Superman Returns’ promises to raise the stakes and take the audience to heights of action that no other superhero movie can achieve.”
What does this mean? Probably not much.
I highly doubt the film will be called that for obvious reasons. To me, it’s just the temporary name of the project which emphasizes the increase in action and excitement that they want the movie to achieve.
We already knew there were going to be more Superman films down the road but this suggests that the next will be a follow-up to Superman Returns as opposed to a complete reboot which has been hinted at for a while now (since we found out Bryan Singer would not be involved in the next Man of Steel project).
This information from that page has been taken down since the story was first put online.
What do you think of the synopsis for a possible next installment in the Superman franchise?

I hope the ban Singer from having anything to do with the next superman movie. Superman returns was such a disapointment. I hope the get a new Superman and not keep that brandon guy (nerd-man). he was the worst man of steel ever. thank the lord for Smallville.
They need to for get Superman Returns and start over.
This whole Superman thing is getting ridiculous. Batman is my boy! Kick but and ask question later. Superman is also my boy because he stand for the justice when most of us will lose our head trying to kill the criminals. So for the movie. They Bryan Singer to hook up with the one who did Hellboy movies. Good story and visual.Superman can nor put up a good fight unless he fight someone like Darkseid ( That would be Micheal Duncan aka Green Mile guy.) We don’t need another Chris Reeves..he did his part so let him rest in peace. Change up Supe and give him some testosterone. Routh don’t cut it.
also remember, Singer did not know anything about superman. He worked with what they gave him as usual with Warner Bro. So don’t hate on Singer. He did a great job for the start.
Superman Returns was a great sequel to the christopher reeve movies. the special affects were awesome. i loved when he got shot in the eye.
if they make a new one with a whole lot of action and a good plot, it will without a doubt be a hit
Kidder did a great job as Lois Lane. It was not a model contest and not everyone is suppose to be hot on these movies. I loved Kidder..she smoked and almost cussed, hahahaha. I do not want to see these so called super model looking women on these superhero movies. It ok for them to be beautiful unlike Mary Jane from Spiderman, eehhhh!
The gun shot to the eye was the best ever clip I ever saw for any movie.
As long as Singer is not part of the project I’ll be happy. he made a mess of the last one. A reboot would be good or they should just do a movie that is as close to the book as possible. Everyone knows the Superman origin and they really don’t need to go there. the creators of Smallville are getting it right.
indeed they are. we need a good superman movie. they got iffy after donnor’s supes 2. if this happens it needs to be great. either way i’ll still probably enjoy it because that’s the kind of movie watcher i am. but i know that superman has the potential to be as good as the dark knight
Whatever they do its gotta be done right this time as this may be the studios last shot at a Man Of Steel film. If I owned the rights to Supes (I don;t think the studio owns the character rights in total just movie ptions) I would yank away from the Studio any future chance of another Superman film.
I believe they should take this oppertunity to proivde some into/back groupnd on other DC Universe heros who would get thier own movie lke GL (GReen Lantern). There is SOOOO much potential with GL and with CGI what is the technology now exists to pull of a properly done GL film.
Lastly I really feel like they should give Tom Welling (Clark Kent on TVs Smallville) the chance to do his thing on the big screen. Other then the animated pieces, his potrayal of Superman has been the best since Reeves Superman Part 2. The Smallville show is about at its end (not because of sory line quality but sher number of sasons) and the Clark Kent character on that show is at the transition stage anyway.
I’m with EdCarden on the Tom Welling thing. Tom has done the best portrayal of Superman since Reeves S2, which was the last really good superman movie made. Singer and Brandon totally missed the ball on the last one.
I think Brandon Routh did a good job at superman. (note that i did not say great job). I enjoyed Returns as i did the 4 Reeve movies. a film entitled Superman Unleashed better be just that. i think they need to introduce a villian that supes can kick the crap out of, but still involve lex a little bit. it wouldn’t be right to cast him out completely.
I feel that the superman trilogy should continue…Where superman has to face a real destony, where he has to face raising up a son, fight for justice on lex luthers creation, or fight something like doomsday like in smallville, make a simular scene on it, it will get alot of peoples attention, and then take care of lex luther by putting him back in prison or something. You should also put a supergirl in the movie too or make a separate movie.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SUPERMAN MOVIE WHERE HE REALLY UNLEASHES HIS POWER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LOT OF ACTION. I DON’T WANT TO SEE HIM ACTING LIKE A “BOY SCOUT”. I WANT TO SEE ANGER, VENGENGE. I WANT TO SEE HIM DO WHAT NO MAN OR MACHINE CAN DO.
I WANT TO SEE THAT “KINGDOM COME” ATTITUDE.
ACTION VIOLENCE ACTION SPECIAL EFFECTS GALORE. TAKE SOME OF THAT “SMALLVILLE” OUT OF HIM.
