Quote: r3x29yz4a said: you're talking about going from one extreme to the other. from being a direct follow up to 25 year old movies -- or throwing out all the main elements and tweaking every little thing about the story. they can do a Superman story that is still fresh and standalone.
yer arguing against what, now?
as far as i can tell, this upcoming movie acknowledges the originals, even uses similar elements, but stands alone and moves forward. i see no problem with that. i actually think thats the right way to do it.
this year's star wars movie wrapped up a nearly 30 year old storyline, all while being its own film. james bond movies use similar tuxes adn tunes throughout 40+ years of history.
A. Star Wars is supposed to be a continuing story. B. JamesBond movies are self-contained for the most part.
Singer has said this film is essentially his "Superman III" a direct sequel to the first two Reeves films. THey're even using footage of Brando as Jor-El.
