It is at this time that I decided to list present possible candidates, as well as one that I am personally rooting for and wishing would actually be the director of the Superman reboot and give positive and negative reasons for each candidate as the director of the Superman Reboot.
Richard Donner: He is not a current candidate, yet one I would choose for the reboot. Yes I am aware that he directed the original Superman movie, but it was by far one of the best, if not the best to date. Donner knows the Superman mythology better than most and shows that he knows how best to present Superman. He has also shown himself to be a good director in other movies, like the Lethal Weapon franchise, the original Omen, Scrooged, Maverick, 16 Blocks, and many others, as well as Superman 2: The Richard Donner Cut. Christopher Nolan is actually using the original Superman and watching it to get an idea of how to bring about the reboot. Think about it, Chris Nolan as story creator and producer, David Goyer as writer of the story, and Richard Donner as director, it’s the best team I think could bring about the next modern and perhaps best Superman movie to date.
David Goyer: David Goyer has shown himself to be a talented writer who has helped on The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, The Crow: City of Angels, the Blade franchise and Jumper. He also has directed Blade Trinity and the Unborn, unfortunately Blade Trinity was not well received.
Jonathan Nolan: Jonathan Nolan is the brother of Chris Nolan and frequent collaborator of many of Chris Nolan’s projects. He has also dealt with story writing of films like Memento, the Prestige, The Dark Knight, and unaccredited rewrites on Terminator Salvation. Unfortunately, Jonathan Nolan has never directed any motion pictures before, but would be watched over by Chris Nolan.
Who do you want to be director of the Superman reboot?
