Well it looks like today the official word finally came down via Variety that George Miller will indeed be helming the JLA movie, and our old friend Singerman is being put on indefinite hiatus. Of course anyone who's read this blog over the last few weeks already knew that was the case anyway so this really isn't much of a surprise. Ok maybe to everybody except "Restart Mel" that is.According to the article:
Warner Bros. is moving aggressively ahead with the bigscreen adaptation of DC Comics’ “Justice League of America,” with George Miller on board to direct.Project, which is the initial phases of casting, is a pre-strike priority for the studio, which needs a superhero tentpole in 2009.
Still, making all the pieces fit has been complicated by overlapping superhero projects in the pipeline, since “Justice League” features a pantheon of superheroes, including Superman and Batman.
Batman and Superman are active properties for the studio, though the next installment in the Superman franchise has taken a backseat to “Justice League” in part because Warners is so keen on the “Justice League” script by Kieran and Michele Mulroney.
“Justice League” will likely feature the characters of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and Aquaman.
Warners is in the preliminary phases of casting for “Justice League.” Several sources close to the project said that Christian Bale, star of the revived Batman film franchise, and Brandon Routh, star of Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns,” would probably not appear in the movie.
Again, obviously all things we've heard before, but still nice to hear it from one of the industry trades as opposed to websites who's credibility everyone is always calling into question. Exactly, what "taking a back seat" means for Singerman I can't say for sure, but I would think that if JLA is a big success and the guy who plays Superman nails it, I'd have a hard time believing WB would have any interest whatsoever in returning to Singer's mess.
Oh and for all of you guys who've been emailing me asking this, I'd be fine with Tom Welling taking up the mantle in this film. He seems to have all the prerequisites for the part in addition to 7 some odd years of training for it, literally. The key thing above any actor though will always be the script and the director's vision. If those two are in line with the Supes we know and love, then everything will be alright. If we get another Singerman situation where the characters are marginalized and the source material is ignored, then it doesn't matter who we've got in the title role.
Finally, although we may have been ragging on the guy for a while we are men of honor here and we will give credit where credit is do, "Dirty" Sanchez from IESB called this one almost a month ago.
UPDATE 9/21 - Well just when you give IESB some credit for getting a scoop right it seems they've served up a big "shit sandwich" on their "big scoop" from last month about Tom Welling being the JLA's Man of Steel. Nice job, go on TV to declare to the masses that this is going to happen and then a few weeks later back away from it with the infamous "I have no idea what happened." Like I said if they were wrong on this they're going to get fried regardless of the Miller thing. They've likely now succeeded in pissing off a seemingly overwhelming amount of fans of Welling/Smallville who because of this may now have some vitriol against the JLA film when before they probably would've cared very little. Add this to the half dozen girls left on BrandonRouth.com that still care about him and feel as if he's getting replaced, and it's going to be UGLY when the new guy is announced. Way to go IESB!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 232 of 232I wouldn't talk, the French hate everybody. Don't start on bigotry and racism, who handed the Jews over to the Nazis willingly in World War II, yup it was the French. But you know Singer and his writers didn't put the American way in the film because they were the pussies, I would of put it in. It's not gay bashing it's stating the obvious, Superman Returns gay subtext is all over that film, it would take a blind man not to see it! Enjoy bashing America, hypocrite!
Nice implement examples from over 60 years ago. Sixty years ago America wasnt such a bunch of wussies. Eurpean Union is the future believe it. That is why the Euro trounces the US dollar. Kinda of like the JLA movie. Check out the homepage friend the writers strike may destroy the US movie industry. I say good. Because Europe is ready to pick up where Hollywoood left bringing.....

In 10 years the US will be so weak with PC garbage it will be afraid to insult anybody or anything.
Sixty years ago Americans were black hating, Jew hating, gay hating, narrow minded idiots. Not all Americans fit in with you annalogy that Americans are all wusses. If you think we all are a bunch of pussies, then why doesn't the world stand up to our evil president! Now who are the pussies? The only reason gay bashers exist is becuase they got that belief system from the past generations, you know the ones you called stronger than our generation. Another thing the one that is really to blame for all this homophobia is the Catholic religion, putting fear into men that if they are gay they will go to hell, and they will be feared and descriminated. I think it's hysterical when Gays attack the ones that are homophobic, when they need to be looking at our establishments that are to blame. All the hate has just been past down from the old country. There are Asian countries where it's illegal to be gay.
Yes its the world that must correct the mistskes the American voter made. Yes the world must correct the inability of the American Congress to change anything. Fool! What are you like 2! You need the world to fix problems in America because you are powerless. I do not see you going to political rallies just posting on this upsurd blog. Quit jerking off and do something about your problem. I have already wrote our new president a letter raising my doubts at his ability and attending a political rally tomorrow. Just like a lazy american you want other people to fix your own problems. But after now owning your ass again let us return to the mounting evidence that JLA is going no where fast. J. Biel acted in Blade 3 (Crappy Movie) and turned down wonder woman maybe because she didnt want to hate america and adopt foriegn babies like A. Jolie. This is why you should hope for............

Next you will say that G. Bush cunningly planned 9/11 but is too inept to conquer Iraq. Morons try to have it both ways. He was always a moron and will forever be a moron!
Who the fuck said I'm not doing anything, fuck off!
Singer has said himself that all his films are metaphors for his upbringing as a gay orphan boy. That he always puts the subtext of his life into his films.
As far as this whole French vs America bill shit, take that somewhere else it has nothing to do with SR unless you're taking about box office. Then in that case the French thought SR sucked as well seeing that Miami Vice was able to outgross it there two years ago.
Typical apologist. Changing the subject to geopolitics because he can't come to grips with the fact that the Singerman sequel is cancelled.
I hate Bush and Singerman both equally.
I heard Bryan Singer also hates bush, but not the presidential kind.
"Singer has said himself that all his films are metaphors for his upbringing as a gay orphan boy. That he always puts the subtext of his life into his films."
So why doesn't Singer Suckerman try to do a movie WITHOUT doing this? If he's a real director, why not do something ORIGINAL, not influenced AT ALL by his own PERSONAL LIFE? Just leave that out for once and try to make a film that has absolutely nothing to do with himself OR his views, especially if the source material is something like Superman. Try that and he might could have a successful film. But he won't!
Because BS wants to be able to cast young "pretty boys" in his films, and get them to perform "special favors" during the shoot.
He has NO ambition or creativity, and it's OBVIOUS by his plagarization of Superman The Movie. He was so creatively BANKRUPT, he said "I'll just do a remake, but not CALL it a remake. I'll homosexualize the costume, throw in a bastard kid, and voila! It's "original"."
And as far as the French vs. America thing goes, ask yourself this: If we declared war on France, which side are YOU going to bet on? Yeah, I'm pretty sure the answer would be unanimous, and even a MAJORITY of French citizens would be placing bets on the good ol' U-S-A.
We'd start off with a continous bombardment of soap and Lady Bic's, of course.
1. Fuck off with all the political bullshit already.
2. "why doesn't Singer Suckerman try to do a movie WITHOUT doing this? If he's a real director, why not do something ORIGINAL, not influenced AT ALL by his own PERSONAL LIFE?"
If you'll forgive me, that's both wrong and impossible. You always need to put a little bit of who you are into your work in order to make something that stands out from the crowd. That's simply a part of what defines Singers style.
And that's also a part of why he's just the wrong man for the job. He also lacks a strong visual sense, and he couldn't do action to save his life.
I just read some of the "responses" to the story about the strike "derailing" JLA, and the asshole-like postings by Younis' sheep.
These fucking Apologist cunts actually think that NO NEWS is GOOD NEWS in Hollywood? Are you fucking SERIOUS?? They "believe" that because ALL of the rumors are about JLA, it means "good" things for Madame Of Swish? How can you NOT realize how STUPID this sounds? I knew Apologists were fucking REtarded, but come on, enough is enough.
And my favorite is the idiot "Angeloz" over there. He or she is such a smarmy asshole, taking shots at EVERYTHING not MOS, but trying to cover it up with: "but, ya know, I don't care which is made. As long as it's MOS. But, whatever. I don't really care. As long as it's MOS.". It's EASY to see thru, and PATHETIC to boot.
Singer always puts a little bit of him in his work.
Just ask Brandon Routh.
Singerman, giving head & packing fudge.

Give this man a star, this is what we've all been saying for over a year, the source material, not Singers screwed up history. that's not being creative that's being self absorbed!
Younis is a FAG.
"Give this man a star, this is what we've all been saying for over a year, the source material, not Singers screwed up history. that's not being creative that's being self absorbed!"
Like someone else said, no director can check his personal life at the door. Singer's artistic leanings simply, as stated before, making him the *EXACT* wrong guy for this job.
I want my post-Crisis Superman movie dammit.
"Like someone else said, no director can check his personal life at the door. Singer's artistic leanings simply, as stated before, making him the *EXACT* wrong guy for this job."
Right, so get a REAL man to direct Supes, not a wannabe man who DESIRES other men & then tries to place his 'innuendoes' into his films. Get a real man who knows action but also can tell a good story. Is that asking too much for a TRUE Superman film?!

Angeloz likes gay men and wants to see men queer off. Don't take my word for it, you won't have to look very far.
Maybe you see all "gay" stuff in Returns is because you amwerican's love to bang guys asses? And if Returns is full of gayness as you say then why the christ symbolism. I saw a person who was tortured since he was above man kind. If he was so gay whats with the kid? This is why............
Sequel in 2009!
Restart
And you think JLA A. Jolie wonder woman adopting foriegn babies is fine?
I guess gayness might be in the eye of the beholder but the fact remains there will be no sequel for SR in 2009.
Singer is a FAG and Superman Returns was gay.
There was so much more sexual tension between Singerman and Lois Lane's husband in SR than between Singerman and Lois. You could tell this especially in the scene (immediately following Superman being gang banged and "stabbed" from behind) where Superman and Richard White gaze deeply into each other's eyes.
You could cut the homoeroticism with a knife. Especially since Singer had taken great pains throughout the film to show Superman's envy of the heterosexual family lifestyle (hence the jealous peeping and snooping around - how Super).
Singer, giving head & packing fudge.
Maybe you don't see all the "gay" stuff in Returns because you frenchs love to bang guys asses? And if Returns is not full of gayness as you say then why the moping and supermakeup. I saw a person who was tortured since he was not welcome by man kind. If he was not gay whats up with Jimmy? This is why............

REtard is a fag, & Superman Returns was gay.
I dare someone to make a poll at bluetights.net, WHO HERE IS GAY?and WHO IS A SUPERMAN FAN? The gays would win!

LOL! Welcome aboard Sequel! ;)
Are you REtard's "evil twin"? I mean, is REtard YOUR evil twin? Your antithesis?
Anyway, what you said are really dead on. If Singerman is not gay, then why had Jimmy acting the way he did? I mean I never remembered Donner's Jimmy to act that way? And yes, Singerman is not welcomed by man kind (emphasis on REAL, STRAIGHT MEN). Yeah, I know I hated the movie the second time I saw it, but not until now till I realised (after reading this blog that is) that Singerman is full of gay's analogy, it's sickening since SUPERMAN is not meant to be the superhero for gay people. I don't care if people want to label us REAL Superman fans as homophobes or not, but Superman the character was NOT created to be the analogy of gay. They got their own superheroes, so go and "play" with them and leave Superman alone! And Singer, please stay AWAY from Superman. Go make your own gay superhero movie, dammit!
I see the LONE Apologist testicle here has tried to throw out ANOTHER Apologist "tactic": It's EVERYONE ELSE who are "wrong", NOT THEM.
Because they CHOOSE not to see the homosexual imagery in Singerman, it DOESN'T EXIST. But to answer "superfag95", BS was trying to equate homosexuals to Jesus Christ. Basically saying they are "superior" to us hetero's. That just like JC, "gays" are persecuted, but in the end "sacrifice" themselves for the "greater good". Which just THAT alone is reason for repulsion and offense.
But the fucking REtarded part is, that Younis-ugly piece of "real estate" was NOT an immediate threat! The WEAK "earthquake" it caused had passed. Where was the urgency?? The fucking IDIOT Singerman basically said: "Oh. My. Gaaawwd, that useless landmass is seriously UGLY! NOT feng shui at ALL! It's just GOTTA go!" and "killed" himself. Smart thinking there, Bobby Trendy...
Fucking BS, you short-sighted, creatively bankrupt asshole.
