Zack & Nolan Make A "Superman"
Mon, October 4, 2010 
I didn't think this would happen so quickly, but here we are with a little help from the scoopers over at TOLDJA! The Brothers Warner and The Brothers Nolan along with the good people at Legendary Pictures have selected Zack Snyder as the director of the new "Superman" film.
Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas were at the forefront of the director "auditions" and Snyder beat out other worthy opponents including; Tony Scott, Matt Reeves, Jonathan Liebesman, and Duncan Jones.
I have to say I do not think that Snyder is as inspired a choice as Jones or even Reeves, but this guy will bring the action and the visuals, that you can't argue. Directing another person's vision, ie Team Nolan, could help the process.
Snyder also brings geek-cred to the table, with both "300" and "Watchmen" under his belt. Although "Watchmen" didn't really bring the noise for the general public, see it's low box office versus the big budget. That being said Snyder did a lot with short money and green screen for "300", look for more of the same here.
Here is what Snyder had to say about the subject:
"I've been a big fan of the character for a long time, he's definitely the king of all superheroes, he's the one. It's early yet, but I can tell you that what David [Goyer] and Chris [Nolan] have done with the story so far definitely has given me a great insight into a way to make him feel modern. I've always felt he was kind of awesome. I'll finish 'Sucker Punch' and get right at it."
So it begins. Now the question is, who will be donning the cape?

Saw the news an hr ago. I am so glad we finally have a director signed. I hope zack does well with nolan for the film. Now. I hope for a good cast.
Glad to finally get something. Hope this is the Superman film I've been waiting for, for so long now.
To be honest Zack Snyder hasn't impressed me that much besides the Dawn of the Dead remake. Hopefully he delivers a great Superman. As long as The Nolan Team is involved I have hope for this reboot.
