\'Superman\' finally is ready to fly again
By César G. Soriano, USA TODAY
Is Superman finally taking off?
 
  Back to the big-screen universe: Superman movies have been on the shelf since the late Christopher Reeve made the last film in 1987.  
Warner Bros.

After years of delays, false starts, mounting production costs and a revolving door of players, Warner Bros. has given the green light to the first Superman film in nearly 20 years.

The Man of Steel has not appeared on the big screen since 1987\'s Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, starring the late Christopher Reeve. Now, all the key pieces seem to be in place.

• Superman and his Clark Kent alter ego will be played by Brandon Routh, 25, a former soap opera star. Producers wanted an unknown, as Reeve was before he became a household name with 1978\'s Superman. (Related story: New guy in the cape finds he\'s a snug fit)

• Bryan Singer, who parlayed the X-Men comic-book series into a successful film franchise, will direct. The new Superman story was written by Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, who also wrote Singer\'s last film, X2.

• The untitled film will begin shooting in Australia next year for release in summer 2006.

Warner Bros. is revealing little about the plot, but Singer has hinted that the film will pick up where 1980\'s Superman II left off. In that movie, our hero traded his superpowers for mortality, fell in love with Lois Lane, regained his powers to defeat his enemies but then lost the girl.

  Names fly by  
 
Tim Burton wanted Nicolas Cage to be Superman. Below are others who have been mentioned:

James Caviezel
Brendan Fraser
Jake Gyllenhaal
Josh Hartnett
Ashton Kutcher
Jude Law
 
 
 
 
 
 
"How do you bring Superman back? That has obviously been a challenge for us," says Jeff Robinov, president of production for Warner Bros.

"It took a while to get the right combination of people and to find a story that was fresh and true to the mythology."

The studio\'s Superman saga began in 1993, when Warner Bros. bought the film rights from Superman producer Alexander Salkind.

Countless screenwriters and several directors have been attached to the project, including McG, Brett Ratner and Tim Burton. All have had vastly different story ideas and visions. Burton wanted Nicolas Cage to play Superman.

At times, it seemed as if every hot young actor in Hollywood was considered or rumored for the role, including Jake Gyllenhaal, Ashton Kutcher, Brendan Fraser, Josh Hartnett, Jude Law and James Caviezel.

During the turmoil, Warner Bros. subsidiary DC Comics, which created the film genre with its Superman and Batman series, was overtaken by rival Marvel Comics, the creators of the successful X-Men and Spider-Man.

"Superman is the crown jewel in the Time Warner crown," says filmmaker Kevin Smith, who wrote an early Superman script. "You\'re looking at a studio that has been pretty cautious."

By Smith\'s estimate, the studio already has spent $50 million without a single frame of film to show for it. Robinov won\'t talk money, but he says the project is now moving faster than a speeding bullet.

Fans such as Harry Knowles, editor of AintItCoolNews.com, say they are "cautiously optimistic. My feeling is that until they finish shooting and it\'s in thea-ters, I\'m not going to believe a Superman movie exists."

Looks cool.  Burton is my favorite director but I think he should steer clear of this film.

That guy looks very flaming gay, and what\'s worse...he\'s soap opera gay. It\'s good news that Brian Singer is the director, as I enjoyed what he did with X-Men.

I\'m glad they\'re bringing Superman back to the big screen, and I hope they don\'t fawk it up.

How about that Tom Welling guy from the Smallville show? They ever consider him?

Im just blabbing because I\'m not quite sure how I feel about this yet.  :(

EDIT: I just read they were considering Ashton Kutcher...WTF? Are they high? Why would they even give that a thought? That would be awful to the Superman franchise.

Old news.

This film is a disgrace. If nothing else for the simple fact that Singer wants to continue right off of the ones that starred Christopher Reeve. He wants this film to take place right after Superman II and be the "official" Superman III. Disgrace, I tell you.

Tom Welling looks more like Superboy. I\'m glad they didn\'t pick Nicholas Cage.

Well technically he is...but the unknown guy looks pretty young too.

Nicholas Cage would have been horrible. Cage is playing Ghost Rider, though. Don\'t know how THAT\'s going to turn out.

They shouldn\'t continue where Superman II left off. They really should start fresh.
