Mark Millar to Pitch Superman Sequel

October 22, 2007

With the news that Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris are not returning to write the Superman Returns sequel, Mark Millar wants to pitch Warner Bros. his vision of the franchise. He says on his official boards:

It's 8.58am right now, my guys at CAA get into the office in about seven hours and my call will be waiting for them to talk about this. I want to revamp Superman like Hillary wants thin ankles. Revamping this franchise is what I as given fingers for and so, invited or not, I'm putting my plan together now. I've been asked to work on half a dozen screenplays lately, but this is the only one I have ever truly wanted.

As most here know, I have literally hundreds of pages of notes and sketches just waiting for this opportunity. This would be my dream gig and, as a fan, I know exactly what this project needs to work. This has to be Superman for the 21st Century, keeping everything we adore, but starting from scratch and making the kids love it as much as the 30-somethings. I would honestly write this thing for free.

Anyway, my treatment is being polished as we type. Wish me luck. I want to do that Superman movie we all want to see.

Anything would be a massive improvement. Every, I repeat, every Superman movie has sucked. It desperately needs to be taken out of the depression era mentality. A different disguise would be a big start. Anyone who knows Clark would say "Hey, your Superman!" A new bad guy is a must. No more Lex, how about something that actually could represent a threat to Kal-El. Doomsday, Braniac, Bizarro, or Darkseid, none of which have been used in any of the movies.

Oh, yea, if you gotta have a Lois, let's get one that doesn't look old enough to be Supes Mom (Margot Kidder), or young enough to be his kid (Kate Bosworth). Was I really supposed to believe she's old enough to have a 5 year old kid and a Pulitzer?

One last word, good luck to Mr. Millar. It sounds like he has a vision that could be very different, but I swear if I hear a single "Gee", "Golly", or "Swell", I'm going to throw **** at the screen.

Superman: The Movie and Superman II were the only real surpassing and great Superman films. Thats because back in the 70s Superman had the magic of Richard Donner not pain in the ass, moaning and groning Bryan Singer. Superman needs a new director and a fresher cast.
