Superman Returns ... Again?
Warner Bros. in Talks with Singer for 'Superman Returns' Sequel
(August 16 2006) - Despite poor box office performance, Warner Bros. is
reportedly trying to get Bryan Singer, who directed the film, to sign on
for a "Superman Returns" sequel, according to IGN Filmforce.
Domestically, "Superman Returns" brought in less than $200 million,
which makes it an underperformer by movie returns standards. However,
Variety has reported that the industry speculates this moving forward
for a sequel to be the result of the investment Warner Bros. has already
made on the Superman franchise.
“Negotiations between Singer and the studio would get delicate if
Warners wants to include over-budget penalties,” Variety reported. This
is something they may consider doing, since production and marketing
costs of "Superman Returns" may, reportedly, cause Warner Bros. and its
co-financing partner Legendary
Pictures, to lose $20 million apiece. - Article by Carma Spence-Pothitt
