Director Of Mark Millar's Superior To Be Announced In The New Year!

In an interview with The List, the writer was quizzed about how work on the various adaptations of his creations is going and revealed one very interesting piece of information.



We already know that offers have been made by studios for Superior (the story of a young boy with multiple sclerosis who suddenly finds himself with Superman-like powers) and that Mark Millar has talked to Kick-Ass helmer Matthew Vaughn about directing. Well, looks like work on the movie is much further along than we thought:

"I'm doing this thing, Superior, they won’t be announcing the director until January..."


Let the speculation commence! With an announcement set to happen next month, a studio has obviously accquired the rights and it surely wont be too long until pre-production starts on the movie if a director has signed on. Here are a few more interesting updates regaring Millar's other movie adaptations as well:

"Jane Goldman’s just waiting for me to finish Kick-Ass 2 so she can start on the screenplay."


"Nemesis is out with a screenwriter just now."


(On Miracle Park)"About halfway through. We’re shooting everything in Scotland and the very, very basic idea is a superhero movie done in the style of Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity. I’ve come up with ways of doing superpowers with no budget, no special effects, that I think are quite interesting."


"I was talking to Robert Rodriguez recently, saying ‘We should work together."

Mark Millar doesn't let anything slip. He just loves talking cryptically (remember all the hoopla about his take on Superman?). Doesn't take away from his greatness as a writer, I just think it's funny.

"I was talking to Robert Rodriguez recently, saying ‘We should work together.’"

Reading the Superior comic, i really wasn't blown away or anything like that. So far so meh about the story.

Now Nemesis, now that is a captivating story right there!

If the 'Superior' film gets made BEFORE the Supes reboot I will be pissed. Snyder is taking too long with Superman

I would like to see a real Captain Marvel movie, after a Superman reboot anyway, instead of this.

Robert Rodriguez need to stop adding more crap to his to-do list. Same with Tim Burton and Guillermo del Toro. Guillermo is signed on to around 10 projects!

*YAWN*

Nemesis and Superior are massively overrated anyways

Millar's such a hack writer that lost "it" couple years ago
