Warner Bros. Said To Have Shortlist Of Writers For 'Man of Steel' Sequel

Despite bringing in mostly positive reviews and a decent box office pull-in worldwide, director Bryan Singer was unable to make 2006's 'Superman Returns' anything but a one-off. '300' and 'Watchmen' director, Zack Snyder is currently in the midst of filming his crack at it, 'Man of Steel,' which has Henry Cavill of 'Immortals' in the lead. It's no secret that Marvel has been dominating the comic book to film adaptation circuit. They're creating an interlocking universe by signing actors to deals that will haunt them in the afterlife. DC on the other hand has Batman. A very fine Batman in Christian Bale under the direction of Christopher Nolan, but simply Batman nonetheless. 'Green Lantern' didn't pay off. Who knows what's going to happen with 'The Flash.' DC's hopes of getting out of the Gotham grind lay on Superman's shoulders. According to Think McFly Think, DC may have another series in 'Man of Steel.' Early word from Warner Bros. is that they're liking the footage they've seen and the script they've read. They've gone as far as to come up with a shortlist of screenwriters for a the next outing featuring the likes of Steve Kloves, ('Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 & 2') Travis Beacham, ('Clash of the Titans') and Lawrence Kasdan. ('Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi') This is early, early stuff that doesn't have a hint of confirmation, but if true, it's great to hear that 'Man of Steel' is shaping up nicely. The film is said to be wrapping up shooting in early 2012, but it's not hitting theaters until June 14, 2013. Latino Review
