LOS ANGELES – Come summer 2006, Warner Brothers
Pictures hopes to usher “Superman” into thousands of
theaters after a 19-year absence. But given the tortured
history surrounding that studio’s attempts to revive
“Superman,” the forerunner of Hollywood’s now-ubiquitous
comic-book blockbusters, the Man of Steel’s arrival would be
nothing short of a miracle.
Since Warner began developing a remake of the successful
comic-book franchise in 1993, it has spent nearly $10 million in
development, employed no fewer than 10 writers, hired four
directors and met with scores of Clark Kent hopefuls without
settling on one. The latest director – Bryan Singer, who
directed “X-Men” and its sequel, was named on July 18 to
replace Joseph McGinty Nichol, known as McG, who left the
project after refusing to board a plane to Australia, where the
studio was determined to make the film.
