The Man of Steel to Be 'Unleashed'?

DateFriday, February 20, 2009 at 3:04PM
Peter at Slashfilm received a tip from a reader (hey now...) about a possible Superman development. Apparently, on a protected page at the Legendary Pictures website, there's a somethingorother about films in various stages of production. One of those is Superman Unleashed.

For those of you without X-ray vision, here's what the page says: “Ramping up the action of its esteemed predecessor, the sequel to Superman Returns promises to raise the stakes and take the audience to heights of action that no other superhero movie can achieve.”

There is some question as to the validity of the image provided. Could it be Photoshopped? Sure, I guess so. But only the studio in charge would call Superman Returns "esteemed."

But will the movie be called Superman Unleashed? Who knows. It was The Man of Steel until we saw this. Man, they have wasted a lot of years worrying about what a Superman movie should look like, and it's only after wasting years on these projects that DC and Warner Bros. takes a compromise that nobody's happy with. In their efforts to get it "right," I can't help but think they'll ruin it again.

The principles are in place, just hire a director and go with it! Don't the studios have balls anymore?
