Superman

It was just this week that I watched "An evening with Kevin Smith" on DVD. Its funny, you should watch it too. Anyway, at one point, Kevin tells us an anecdote about how Warner Brothers had asked him if he wanted to write the script for this new movie they want to do on Superman. Ultimately he never ends up doing it because of some nutjob producer and the fact that the studio hires Tim Burton to direct it (who hires his own writers). Kevin goes on to make the DVD I watched the other night. The nutty producer goes on to make another movie, "The Wild Wild West" and Tim Burton makes gets replaced by Bryan Singer to direct "Superman Returns" which is only just now being advertised (fresh!). Looking at the timing of all this, I can only guess that Christopher Reeves' accident really pushed the release date on this movie back.
