Nolan to “Oversee” New Superman films?

Wow. Intriguing.

”It’s a bird, it’s a plane ... it’s Warner Bros. asking Christopher Nolan to pretty please resurrect their Superman franchise and do something cool with it! According to Deadline Hollywood, Nolan has been asked to come in and sort of “mentor” the next Superman movie, and it won’t be a sequel to Superman Returns, but instead the beginning of a brand new franchise. “

Read the whole deal here.

I think they should just do some sort of adaptation of Grant Morrison’s “All Star Superman” which does the best job of capturing the spirit and fun of Superman.

The Onion: Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As ‘Fun, Watchable’

Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As ‘Fun, Watchable’

I saw the new “Star Trek” last nite and as this Onion piece mocks, I was wondering as well how hardcore Trek fans feel about a new, slick action packed Kirk and Spock with very little of the cerebral pontificating that was part of the original series.

Regardless, the new film is really entertaining, a little silly, and re-invents what was a tired, uninspired cliche when the last attempt “Enterprise” (with Scott Bakula as Captain) failed to ignite interest back in 2001.

Hopefully the new series will live long and prosper.
