Next Superman Has More Baddies?
Michael Dougherty, co-writer of last year's Superman Returns, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming sequel will feature at least one villain drawn from the DC Comics franchise. Or more than one? "Maybe," Dougherty said coyly in an interview on the set of his upcoming supernatural horror film Trick 'r Treat in Vancouver, Canada, on Jan. 15. "It's [Mr.] Myxyzptlk," he added, with tongue in cheek.
Dougherty said that it's likely he and his Superman Returns writing partner Dan Harris will again work with Singer on the sequel. "We're talking," Dougherty said. "We're bouncing ideas around with Bryan. Big ideas. Action-packed ideas."
Singer has said the next installment will be along the lines of the second Star Trek film, and Dougherty said the comparison is apt. "I think it's going to be a more action-oriented film," he said. "Again, the easy comparison to make was [X-Men] to X2, or Star Trek [The Motion Picture] to Star Trek II. I mean, I know that Bryan has said he's going to Wrath of Khan it, and by that he means, 'Let's take what we've already established—we've gotten that out of the way—and let's just make it shorter, tighter and more action-packed." —Patrick Lee, News Editor
Spacey's in for Man of Steel
Monday night on Late Night with David Letterman, Kevin Spacey appeared, and brought with him a little news about the Superman Returns sequel. The sequel was bound to come up in conversation, and when it did, Spacey suggested he'd be back for round two. ""The film was a big hit and we're going to do another one in a couple of years," he explained. "It was a lot of fun and I rather enjoy shaving my head every day."
The Superman Returns sequel, rumored to be titled "Man of Steel," is due in theaters in 2009.[B]
