Re: SUPERMAN -- A whole lotta shakin' going on!

Hey folks, Harry here... Been getting some interesting confusing reports on SUPERMAN. Right now - it seems the story of SUPERMAN - the next Warner Brothers Effort - is in flux. They've got 4 candidates to be the big blue bird... Word is seeping around though that Brett Ratner has lost... that loving feeling... ooooohhhoohh that loooooving feeling... for SUPERMAN and is heading into that - I shouldn't be doing this film area -- and Warners is beginning to think the same way (at least this is what the peanut gallery is saying.) Meanwhile, Warners' first choice to Direct SUPERMAN has always been Michael Bay - and the word is... He may, in fact, be ready to do it. Bay has been known for patriotic imagery and Norman Rockwell-ish sequences... and if there is a comic character that evokes that sort of feeling... It is SUPERMAN - although, I'm not gonna pretend for a second that you folks will be happy with that decision, if Warners makes it. And it'll take 2.1 seconds for some of you to put J. J. Abrams and Michael Bay together... draw the connecting dot to ARMAGEDDON and soon the foam will begin, and hatred will cause heat ripple effects from your brow... But it is my belief - and I will stand against popular opinion - because well, that's what I do sometimes - and say that if Michael Bay teams up with J. J. Abrams on a SUPERMAN film... it will rule planet Earth. But that's ok... I understand - you hate me, I'm wrong and you're right... Only... I know that isn't true. So hurl the names! Have fun. I'm working on the story - as it is currently in flux - nothing is solid and it is changing day to day... in fact - just writing this, and writing what you'll write... it could affect the way this goes... So write smart, make good cases... Who knows, your opinion could be the one "they" listen to.
