Chris Columbus Directing Superman?
Thu, July 8, 2010 
Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...Chris Columbus?!?
Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures has been keeping developing on Superman: The Man of Steel down to a faint pulse. All we really know is Christopher Nolan and his wife Emma Thomas will produce and David Goyer is writing for a Christmas 2012 release.
If Superman Homepage is to be believed, Columbus (whose career went from being Spielberg's Golden Boy screenwriter in the 80s to kick-starting the Harry Potter franchise a decade ago) is WB's helmer of choice. Well he certainly fits the "type" of filmmaker they’d be going after – more inclined to take orders from the studio than say a Michael Bay or Bryan Singer type.
Assuming this is legit; would he do the material truth, justice and the American way? He's an admitted comic-book fan – his name was attached to Daredevil and Fantastic Four during the 90s.
Not to mention, it'd truthfully be an upgrade from his post-Potter filmography – the "Eh..." received film-version of Rent, the abysmal I Love You, Beth Cooper and his most recent ill-fated attempt at launching another fantasy series-turned-effects heavy franchise Percy Jackson.
The sooner they finalize a director (Remember that court ruling mandated they have to be rolling cameras next year), the closer we can get to finding out the identity of our new Last Son of Krypton.
