October 15, 2001: McG to Direct Superman?
Take this one as a rumor at this stage... nothing can be confirmed, yet...A report on the Carona Coming Attractions website says that McG (Charlie's Angels) has been signed by Warner Bros. to direct a new Superman major motion picture.
The report continues to say that Warner Bros. are still searching for a script and a writer (as Paul Attanasio's has been out for a while). The WB is reportedly looking for a "lighter, funnier 'McG'-style Superman", leaving behind once and for all the "Death of Superman" storyline which has long been the driving force behind talks about the new movie.
While we're talking Superman movies, Superman fan "Doug" emailed the Superman Homepage to let us know that the TV Cable Channel called ENCORE, (which is channel 77 in the New York area), is showing the Special Edition of "Superman: The Movie" on October 23rd at 8pm. Check your local guides for more details.
