Singer confirms Superman will fly again!

Director Bryan Singer confirmed to Empire Online that Superman would fly into theaters again and work on a sequel to Superman Returns has started.

On Empire Online, Singer stated: "I’m just getting back with writers after the strike. We’re just in the development phase. I’m starting to develop a sequel...with the intention of directing it.”Superman Returns took in close to $400 million, but was considered by many a disappointment critically and financially. The critical problems were blamed on story and casting issues. The financial issues were blamed on a massive budget and small final box office returns compared to films like Spider-Man and Singer’s X-Men films. Singer stated he intends to address some of the story problems of Superman Returns in the sequel: "The first one was a romantic film and a nostalgic film. 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!" Writers Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris have left the sequel project and it is reported Transformers and Star Trek writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzmann are involved in developing a new screenplay for the film.
