Directorial Musical Chairs

Good Morning America,

There seems to be quite a few interesting undercurrents shaping what you will be watching and when fairly shortly. Enjoy.

1. Bryan Singer & Superman: Man of Steel

This highly overrated director will be returning to further butcher a beloved character with ….

“… unrelenting terror! All those teenage girls who found the movie and mooned over James Marsden or Brandon? Well, I’m going to wake them up!”

Which is exactly what I was hoping for. More Mardsen & the poorly created character of Brandon. Never mind the alien that walks among us protecting us (Superman). This is the first meaningful thing Singer has said. Sad.

2. Sam Rami & Monster Zoo

Even though Sam has finished with his Spider-man trilogy it seems as if he is not capable of staying away from the comic book genre. He is currently directing “Drag Me To Hell,” and will be leading “Monster Zoo,” a film Paramount pictures hopes will successfully fuse Sam and another as of yet to be published comic book written by Douglas TeNapel (the gentleman who brought us Earth Worm Jim). I’m game for this film if only out of loyalty to the man who made comic books cool again. At least….almost cool. Lets just go for no longer socially retarded..

3. Brad Bird & 1906

Brad brought us “The Incredibles,” and more recently the Oscar worthy “Ratatouille.” Next he will be bringing us his first live action film for Warner Bros & Disney/Pixar placed within historical San Francisco’s devistating earthquake. I’m really curious to watch this production unfold. H’s not playing with crayons anymore. (If you don’t know this reference go watch “Rats” DVD extras. Some of the best DVD extras to come out.)

4. 90210 in 2008

Yes its back. I know. I know. I’m sorry too. Its coming soon. Near you. To eat your small children’s morals. Run.

5. Michael Bay & Rosemaries Baby

Last, but certainly not least Michael Bay will be producing a remake of the oldie thriller. Given what he has been able to accomplish with bringing back several long loved concepts I’m confident he will do this justice.

Which begs a question. What are some old well loved concepts that you would like to see come back? I ‘m going to go with Thundercats.
