Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab. You guys broke the story. And I don't mean you were first to report it... I mean you literally freakin' broke it. I don't think we've ever had a story hit as hard as this one was. I'm revising it a bit, though, to remove the other ...

The week in geek: Will the Wachowskis direct Superman?
Film: Film blog | guardian.co.uk —
... The two possibilities are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Hollywood films with the potential for huge box office numbers often go through a number of different guises at scriptwriting stage, before they emerge blinking into the bright lights of the multiplex. Superman Returns was itself the fudgy replacement for a famously insane JJ Abrams script; a treatment for a full scale reboot in which Lex Luthor was able to fly and Krypton never exploded. Of course, the results tend to be rather better when a more linear approach is taken, which brings us rather neatly to this week's ...
A Look at the JJ Abrams/Brett Ratner Superman Movie That Never Was
/Film —
... In 2002, JJ Abrams wrote a script which was supposed to be the first film in a trilogy of Superman movies. Aint It Cool once wrote that the script read “like it’ll cost $400 million” and involved sequences featuring “air combat between five superpowered Kryptonians and fighter jets from 24 nations.

The week in geek: Will Warner come clean on the Dark Knight sequel?
Film: Film blog | guardian.co.uk —

Attempting to make a sequel to the first two Christopher Reeve movies now looks like a dreadful error and a massive fudging of the issue, when what was really required was a full-on reboot. Even JJ Abrams's much-maligned script could surely not have done more to damage the character. ...
