When rumours surfaced in February 2010 that Christopher Nolan would be "Godfathering" the Superman franchise, a lot of people said that the reports were ludicrous. Holla, 1 week later and it is confirmed and he openly spoke about how it came to pass. Fans world-wide rejoiced with a massive grin on their face for weeks on end, I still wear my grin to this day and have hissy fits about how AWESOME it will be. But are we missing the point here?
Chris Nolan is "Godfather", not director. A lot of news sites believe he will direct which is wrong, he is the Exec. Producer along with his wife, Emma Thomas. Good friend David S. Goyer wrote the story along with Chris and his brother Jonathan Nolan will write the screenplay. This all sounds very rosey. But who will direct? The release date is heavily rumoured to be December 21, 2012. (Coincidentally the day the world will end) So with just over a 2 and a half years to get the script ready, get the actors and get a director, it seems a bit rushed. Well it would be because of the legal battle of Warners struggling to keep hold of the franchise. So... who will direct the action flick and would they want to be Chris Nolan's goat puppy, doing as they are told or will they want to break away from his stewardship and do the film how they want? Only Time will tell. Lets vote for who we want as the next director. Previously, James McTiegue was linked with the Director's chair when the reboot was first announced in August 2008 and he did a few interviews on the matter. Then when Chris Nolan was announced as Exec. Producer, a lot of stories surfaced that it was because his younger brother and Scripting Super-Hero Jonathan Nolan would be taking his Directing Duck with "The Man of Steel". Who do you want as Director?
