December 3, 2004: Dan Harris Talks Superman Script
IGN FilmForce has posted some quotes from Dan Harris, who spoke at a recent press day for "Imaginary Heroes". Harris, who had just flown back from Australia, spoke about the progress of the Superman script...
- Harris says that he was recently working with Singer on some rewrites as the sets are being built. "Well, we haven't started shooting yet. We don't start until March, but yeah, we're on our third draft right now and we've done, I mean, you know, the requisite first draft, [then] chop off ten to fifteen pages, you know? It's too expensive, it's always too expensive. But it's being molded and kind of shifted and coming along really quickly, so any work that we're doing now, it's going to, by the next chapter, turn into really minor tweaking and just getting in there and making scenes better, as opposed to X-Men, where we did about 28 drafts, and halfway through those 28 drafts, we were still rewriting the whole movie every time. It was still, like, major shifts in story. Not this time around, this time around it's pretty much there."
