Big rumors have been flying lately that the Wachowski brothers are discussing taking over the Superman franchise. According to Ain’t it Cool News, Andy and Larry Wachowski are considering filming a Superman trilogy in the wake of ‘Superman Returns’ director Bryan Singer passing on a sequel. The Wachowskis are big comic fans and are responsible for The Matrix Trilogy, adapting Alan Moore’s ‘V for Vendetta,’ and creating the overlooked and visually stunning ‘Speed Racer.’ Its also been rumored that Warner Bros. wants to make the Superman series considerably more dark after the massive success of the menacing ‘Dark Knight.’ The Wachowskis seem like a good fit in that ‘dark’ department, and their trademark ‘bullet-time’ cinematography would work great to capture Superman’s miraculous abilities on film. In the same article, it is mentioned that Bryan Singer passed on Superman to make a remake of Sci-Fi classic Logan’s Run. Whether any of these rumors are true has yet to be confirmed with Warner Bros. officials, but if true, you heard it on the Star Clipper Blog first.
