August 6, 2004: Bryan Singer Does Deal with WB

Variety reports that director Bryan Singer has had a falling out with 20th Century Fox over his deal with Warner Bros. to direct "Superman".

In March, Singer pacted with WB to direct a remake of "Logan's Run". Then in July, Singer's representatives ended longstanding talks with Fox for Singer to helm "X-Men 3" and quickly completed negotiations with Warner Bros. for him to replace McG on "Superman".

Eager to quickly move the movie into production, WB went so far as to make a pay-or-play offer to Singer if he'd consent to make Superman fly post-haste, says the trade. He took it, and Fox soon notified him that his deal there was over.

As for who will direct "X-Men 3"... Fox remains unclear on the subject.
