Director Zack Snyder revealed some interesting thoughts about his “Superman” reboot, including why he took on the project.
Though he’s reluctant to give any details about the film, Snyder explains what attracted him to the project: “My feeling about Superman is that I’ve been a fan of the character for a long time. But the question for me was always, ‘What can you do with Superman in a modern world?’ And I think the amazing thing that Chris and David have created, that I’m working on now, and the reason why I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll do that,’ was that they found that in him. They found the why in him. That’s the exciting part for me.”
“I can’t really talk about that without being kind of specific,” says Snyder. “But I can say I think Superman needs to be physical.”
I’m still totally unsold on this project. It falls in the same category as the Spiderman reboot in my book. I’m just not ready for it. Maybe it will be good, but I’m not yearning to see it. There hasn’t been a single piece of casting news surrounding it that has gotten me excited, and I just don’t think Superman needs the hyper-real edge of Batman Begins.
