Tomorrow's Memoir

Source: Spike TV
Film Summary: An elderly man reflects on his unusual past and the choices he's made, while a mysterious crisis develops within his city.
As a Superman fan this is a great film. The writing and acting is great all around. The film gets into the Superman character from a very unique perspective that many film makers today have yet to experiment with which is the late stages of the Man of Steel life. "Tomorrow's Memoir," looks at the Clark Kent & Superman character from a "Kingdom Come" based storyline and is extremely interesting. This short film is a definite must see for any Superman fan and highly recommended. Great job to the film makers of this wonderful production and definitely will be looking for more things to come from this production staff.

SUPERMAN REBOOT CONFIRMED

Warner Bros. also put on hold plans for another movie starring multiple superheroes -- known as "Batman vs. Superman" -- after the $215 million "Superman Returns," which had disappointing box-office returns, didn't please executives. "'Superman' didn't quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to," says Mr. Robinov. "It didn't position the character the way he needed to be positioned." "Had 'Superman' worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009," he adds. "But now the plan is just to reintroduce Superman without regard to a Batman and Superman movie at all."

Where is Superman Headed?


Source: Variety
Variety's Anne Thompson reports that Superman: Man of Steel is in a holding pattern at Warner Bros. Pictures as the studio figures out what to do next. Here's a clip:They too believe that the last movie didn't break the mold and wound up in some kind of middle limbo. Today I was told that it is a priority at the studio to find the right direction and if Bryan Singer is willing to do that, fine, but if he gets in the way, he may not stay on the project. There are no writers working on a Superman script now. The studio wants to figure it out. "It might be better to start from scratch," one exec admitted.What do you think? Should they continue the story from Superman Returns or completely start over?

THE DARK KNIGHT TOPS STAR WARS




After four weeks as the #1 movie in the country, the reign of Warner Bros.' The Dark Knight finally came to an end, but not before it amassed enough money to pass the unadjusted gross of George Lucas' 1977 sci-fi classic Star Wars to become the 2nd highest grossing movie domestically with an astounding five-week box office gross of $471.5 million! (Star Wars' unadjusted gross of $461 million included a number of re-releases since its debut thirty years ago.) While it has a long way to go if it wants to pass the long-held box office record of James Cameron's Titanic, it's more than likely The Dark Knight could become the second movie to ever make more than $500 million domestically. Quite ironically, the continued success of Nolan's Batman film knocked George Lucas' new animated Star Wars: the Clone Wars, the first movie in the franchise to be distributed by Warner Bros., down to third place for the weekend as well.

SELUTRON HAS CLOSED HIS YOUTUBE PAGE




Selutron has shut down his page at YouTube, but don't fret, he's gnawing away like the busy beaver that he is on making two opposites react. Although there is no news to report, I did call him this week -- he's in good spirits and, inevitably, the chatter descended into Richard Lester's Superman films - now there's a surprise! I did tell him that even a negative reaction about his endeavours - from the minority - is a good thing, it proves that people care about his crusade to honour the talent behind these films despite the criticism.
His clips are now hosted exclusively at capedwonder.

Horn and Noveck Talk DC Comics Character Films



Variety has published an article in which Warner Bros. boss Alan Horn and DC Comics' senior VP of creative affairs Gregory Noveck talk about where the WB and DC are headed in regards to comic book movies.
"We're having a lot of internal discussions on it," Horn says. "We haven't committed to any change at DC at this point," adding that both Warners and DC are committed to turning "the properties into viable movie product in an intelligent way so that we introduce them like planes on a runway. They have to be set up the right way and lined up the right way and all take off one at a time and fly safe and fly straight."
One high-profile property is "Justice League," which Warner Bros. had hoped would start production before the writers strike.
But given that it unites Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Arrow, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter, the studio is trying to figure out how such the pic (cast with younger actors) would affect its existing Batman and Superman franchises -- and whether the script respects how the characters play off each other in the DC universe.
To put it simply: the studio doesn't want to piss off the Comic-Con contingent.
"We're not off the notion of a Justice League," Robinov says. "There's a massive interest and knowledge in the comicbook industry and it takes time to sort of catch up and understand the characters and the history, where they've intersected with each other and what their worlds are. That's part of the education that we're going through."
As for the JLA movie, Noveck says...
"We're going to make a Justice League movie, whether it's now or 10 years from now. But we're not going to do it and Warners is not going to do it until we know it's right."
