August 28, 2003: Kevin Smith Won't Direct Superman Movie

E! Online's "Movie Scoop" column reports that Kevin Smith wouldn't take on the role of Director for the up-coming Superman movie if it was offered to him. Here's an excerpt from the Movie Scoop column...

Movie fans, you all know Kevin Smith wrote a draft of the new Superman movie, and that it may have renewed interest in the property enough for Warner Bros. to greenlight its current mess. You may also recall that Smith wanted Nicolas Cage to star as the Man of Steel. Well, now the directing job's open (again!), so we wondered if Smith would like the gig. As it turns out, he doesn't. "Too big," he protests. "Too big and too many people in the audience who are like, 'You're doing it wrong, you're doing it wrong.' And I'd be the guy in the audience going, 'You're doing it wrong!' I don't want to be subjected to that." But wasn't that true when Smith wrote the Superman script he intended to direct years ago?
