Superman

January 31, 2003: Brett Ratner Still on Superman

It's enough to make your spin! The chaos of rumors and gossip surrounding the issue of who is really directing the up-coming Superman movie continue... Although Variety may have put an end to it all.

Variety reports that they've spoken directly to both Michael Bay and Brett Ratner about these rumors. Here's an excerpt from the article...

"This is 100% false," Bay said. "I haven't spoken to anybody at Warner Bros. about 'Superman.' I have no idea how this rumor got started. Isn't Brett doing 'Superman'?"

That was my question to Ratner, who wondered why WB is still paying him such whopping weekly checks if he's been off the film for four weeks.

"This is the most ridiculous rumor I've ever heard, and it starts with Web sites that have gone from supportive cinefiles to (being) gossip mongers," Ratner said. "The studio is spending multiple millions of dollars making test deals with the actors I want. They're paying me, my DP, my AD, my editor, my props guy."

"The whole hiccup here has been our search for Superman," he said. "I'm at CAA, just like Michael Bay, I make as much money as he does. They would not jeopardize pissing me off by negotiating behind my back. I'd know."
