So David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan have been toiling away (under the watchful eye of Jonathan’s brother, Christopher) on the next Superman film for a few months now. Just think, as you read this, they are probably deep in thought over this film… and, even more importantly, how not to f*ck it up. That’s actually quite a lot of pressure. To start with, the Nolan family’s reputation is at stake. Christopher is, arguably, THE filmmaker of the 21st century. Secondly, they’re working for a film studio that’s well known for lofty expectations. Thirdly, they have a comic book fan base chomping at the bit to criticize every decision they make, and, lastly, there are a handful of general movie goers who actually liked the last movie and will surely be disappointed at the decision to start from scratch. My point is: how the hell are they going to make everybody happy? I guess the obvious answer is this: write an awesome movie. So that’s my advice, boys. Run with it.
More on the new Supes film is sure to come…
