Go Ahead for Superman Return Sequel !!
Bryan Singer has finalized a deal to move forward with the sequel to "Superman Returns" this past weekend and Warner Bros is planning to start production sometime as early as next September with much of the same team behind "Returns", according to The IESB. This would indicate shooting would probably begin early 2008 for a Summer 2009 release.
In a very smart move as well, the two big criticisms thrown against the film are being directly addressed - the budget and the lack of action & fun in the film. The action quotient will be strongly ramped up and a non-Lex D.C. villain looks like it will be the main villain of the piece.
In regards to the cost, 'Returns' had an official budget around $204-208 million, plus tens of millions in development costs over the years. No development costs this time around, and the production budget will be set at a perfectly sound $140-175 million.
