IESB update on "The Man Of Steel"
Ok, here's the big news, Robert has informed me that he has confirmed that yes, Bryan Singer is 100% on the sequel to his 2006 revamp Superman Returns. He has since confirmed this with studio sources so take this one to the bank.
But, with Superman Returns writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris out, who will be penning the film?
Word is Transformers/Star Trek scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are considering being behind the project. This gives Superman fans hope after Returns' mild disappointment amongst fan boys. The pair are apparently in talks and have had "several meetings" regarding the film. No need to worry about a lack of action from these two!
Meanwhile, Singer speaks to EmpireOnline about the next film.
"The first one was a romantic film and a nostalgic film," he says. "I'll be the first person to own up to that without making any apologies for it. I knew it was going to be that from the outset. And now that the characters are established, there's really an opportunity to up the threat levels...Clearly there'll be a body count [laughs]. From frame one, it will be unrelenting terror! All those teenage girls who found the movie and mooned over James Marsden or Brandon? Well, I'm going to wake them up!" He may be joking about the unrelenting terror.

Singer wanted Jude law as General Zod. Maybe he will get that this time.

I suppose thats all good news the script for Transformers wasn't perfect but it was a heck of a lot more entertaining then Superman Returns and hopefully Singers telling the truth when he says hes learnt from his mistakes.

As someone who believes that SR got the tone, look, feel and essence of Superman 92% correct, with 8% too much pining and pussyfooting around, I for one am glad to hear that Singer and Routh will return with new screenwriters for the sequel.

More than likely we'll get Brainiac. Anyway, there's a conflict of reports stating that Orci and Kurtzman are not on board. Though there may be time to do both.

I'm just happy the project is still going forward. Something to look forward to, no doubt.

Here's a simple teaser poster I made based on the optimistic news.

In 1977 George Lucas created the Star Wars Trilogy and changed the way we look at movies.
In 1999 George Lucas created the Prequel Trilogy and changed the way we look at Star Wars.
Frasier, Lost, and Whose Line Is It Anyway? are the best tv shows ever.

I would be totally happy with Braniac. 
What version though?

In reading a bit about this Synger states that there will be two villains and one of them is an alien. Of course, the alien could be Brainiac or Zod. Also, the piece of Kryptonian real estate now floating off in space will be a major part of the sequel as well.
That makes me wonder if perhaps something is born from the land mass that Luthor "programmed" in.

You mean like you he used a strand of Superman's hair to create a kind of anti-Superman in Superman IV?

Lol, no.
Well, sorta. The whole land mass was born of some advanced nanotech(possibly picotech) and the idea of growing some version of Brainiac out of it is within reason. But it does sound kinda cheesy if done that way.

Lex is definately one of the villains. As to New Krypton, at best I think it'd be a potential source of Kryptonite to use against Clark in the future. As to Brainiac himself, it depends on which version is used. If they go with the traditional Brainiac, he's from the computer masters of Colu and seeks out various cities with which he shrinks down and stores inside a bottle. He comes to Earth to do that with Metropolis just as he did with Kandor on Krypton years ago. Another version is that he is a criminal who was about to be executed and manages to transfer his consciousness to Earth where he takes control over a human named Milton Fine and eventually converts his body into a sembelence of his Colu form. The other is the DCAU and "Smallville" version. A computer program created on Krypton which managed to flee there before its destruction and come to Earth, seeking to destroy the last son of Krypton.

John Williams set for Superman: Man of Steel?
Williams, now 76, was conductor of the Pops from 1980 to 1993. According to industry reports, he remains a busy man, with soundtracks for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," "Jurassic Park IV," and "Superman: Man of Steel" all scheduled for his touch.
