Really lazy journalism from Borys Kit at The Hollywood Reporter, who unlike Obsessed With Film will have the contacts to find out whether the newly announced Bryan Singer and Warner Bros remake of John Boorman's 1981 Arthurian movie Excalibur, is the same "origin movie" of the Knights of the Roundtable that Warren Ellis has been busy writing.

The likelihood is that it's the same picture. Ellis was writing the project for Hollywood Gang, the co-producers of Warner Bros. 300 with Legendary Pictures (who co-produced Superman Returns with Singer) so there is clearly a connection there and the timing just seems to make sense. I sincerely hope it's the same picture anyways, otherwise Ellis' version probably won't now see the light of day when going up against the mighty WB.

Singer is only in talks to produce at this point as according to THR, his next directing gig will be on Jack the Giant Killer, a dark fantasy re-telling of the classic Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale. Presumably his ambitious remake of Battlestar Galactica which he attached himself to last week will have to wait.





Jack the Giant Killer is a New Line production (remember now owned by WB) which somewhere along the ...]]></description>

According to Hitfix, Bryan Singer is close to bringing a new reboot of the Battlestar Galactica franchise to the big screen - Universal's attempt to catch the Star Trek wave which this year saw a forgotten cult series become a surprising mainstream box office phenomenon for the first time in it's forty year history.

Can lightning strike twice here?

It's expected Singer will work closely with the 1978-1979 series creator Glen Larson who was hired in February to develop a Galactica film which had no ties to any previous cannon. So that would seem to be the state of play here, Singer will reboot the franchise J.J. Abrams style (though without a time travel continuity explanation) and cast a whole new load of fresh faced young actors and make a BIG movie which will appeal to a mass audience.

We should at this point mention that... once upon a time before Ronald D. Moore created what many sci-fi nerds believe to be the greatest space opera show since the original Kirk, Spock and flimsy 60's sets with his version of Battlestar Galatica, Bryan Singer - then hot off the heels of creating a big screen X-Men movie, had written a pilot himself for ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not desired for Christopher Nolan's science fiction movie Inception after working with the director on his last three movies, Christian Bale's hunt for a job elsewhere may have landed him a role in Prisoners.



You may remember we spoke about this Taken/Gran Torino esque thriller a few weeks back when Bryan Singer announced he was mulling over whether to direct it as his next movie, with Mark Wahlberg already attached as one of the leads. Now with Bale's expected involvement according to The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business Blog, the project probably has just become much more desirable.

They also carry a run-down of the plot...
Here's the basic idea: After his 6-year-old daughter and her friend are kidnapped, a small-town carpenter butts heads with a young, brash detective in charge of the investigation.  The father is a Bible-reading, deer-hunting survivalist. The cop, meanwhile, can’t wait to get to the city. Feeling failed by the law, the father captures the man he believes responsible and begins to torture him in a desperate attempt to find out what he did with the girls, whom he’s convinced are still alive. 
Aaron Guzikowski's dark spec script is going to be shopped around soon by Endeavour looking for someone to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we spoke of Bryan Singer's desire to get into the revenge thriller genre with Prisoners, a Taken-esque movie that would star Mark Wahlberg. Now comes reports from Variety of another project he has been developing for the past 8 months which has moved forward significantly this week. 

The movie is Freedom Formula, a "futuristic Top Gun", which could be his return to the big screen epic after directing the World War II ensemble thriller Valkyrie after the disappointment of Superman Returns. In July, he said he only wanted to produce Freedom Fighters, now it's said to be a movie firmly within his "potential" directing sights.



Singer's adaptation of the Radical Publishing comic book has been picked up by New Regency and now has a screenwriter in the form of Michael Finch, a scribe who earlier this month sold a period action spec script titled Medievel to New Regency for “a colossal payday”. That film has attracted McG's attention. 

Freedom Formula is set in the future where racing exo-suits have replaced fighter jets, with the story focusing on a genetically engineered racer who learns that his bloodline has the power to change society. It’s described as a character driven flick with awesome set pieces.

		<description><![CDATA[Entertainment Weekly reported over the weekend that Bryan Singer is seriously mulling over directing Prisoners as his next movie, a revenge thriller with Mark Wahlberg based on a highly lauded script from first time writer Aaron Guzikowski.



Wahlberg would star as the Boston dad who takes the law into his own hands when his young daughter is kidnapped, a movie that belongs in the same mould as the recently popular revenge genre that has seen Gran Torino and Taken make big bucks.

Though Wahlberg himself had less luck with Max Payne ($40 million domestic) and it's clear the more grounded in reality and relatable the revenge concept is, the more broad an audience it can attract.

EW report the freshness the script brings to the genre, compares to the likes of the 90's classics Silence of the Lambs and Se7en. 

Singer answered whether he would make Prisoners as his next movie...
"I don't know yet," he said, "But I'm definitely intrigued. It's a great script. And I'd love to work with Mark."
Singer, coming off his World War II ensemble Valkyrie has once again begun quietly developing a Logan's Run remake but the lure of a great script for a small in scope thriller, may take his attention away once ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm a little burned out now with VALKYRIE. Today marks the release of the final trailer for Bryan Singer's new movie which again promotes the film in a different way to the previously cut trailers.

This time United Artists have gone for the summer tentpole feel, adding the musical score from the SAW movies to crank up the tension. Who knew that the Jigsaw killer is actually Adolf Hitler?


CLICK HERE TO SEE THE TRAILER

With DOWNFALL and BLACK BOOK, in recent years the bar has been heavily raised by foreign studio productions for movies involving Hitler's Nazi Germany. Sadly when watching this trailer, you can't help but feel Hollywood is still slugging behind.

Not that the movie looks bad, I just don't think it can match up. Still love the talent involved here... some great British characters actors who usually I'm delighted to see just ONE of in a movie.

VALKYRIE opens Dec. 26th in the U.S. and January 30th in the U.K. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hot on the heels of the first poster artwork for VALKYRIE comes a confidently cut and intense trailer which just goes to show how movies can live and die by their commercial reels.

The one we saw nearly a year ago virtually killed the movie and indeed it was so bad, United Artists kept changing their release and had to come up with a whole new marketing campaign for the movie. It's been a long time in coming but their movie will perform much stronger on the case of this evidence.



SEE THE TRAILER IN HD HERE

This is much more like the Bryan Singer of X-MEN and THE USUAL SUSPECTS, interesting and inventive camera angles and a reliance on character to create atmosphere.

I enjoyed the glimpse at the desert war fare, a scene which I would guess may have been part of the extra re-shoots to amp up the action. That looked fun, the ticking time bomb score makes for an intense trailer but it would be a brave thing to have that in the movie itself.

I do wish though the movie wasn't so heavily promoted as a Tom Cruise vehicle.

VALKYRIE opens December 26th. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[25 months ago, a movie called Superman Returns made me more angry than any film I had seen in nearly ten years. Not since Batman &#38; Robin in 1997 had I ever been so pissed at a Hollywood production. Not Godzilla, not Battlefield Earth, not Pearl Harbour, nothing pissed me off as much as Supes and his ridiculous Return.

But I'm over it. I created Obsessed With Film because of it and life is treating me pretty well right now. And it finally looks like Warner Bros. are ready to move on to, after all life with The Dark Knight is treating them well too.

WB are set to re-write history. As far as the future goes Superman Returns didn't exist, they are doing what they should have done in the first place and are rebooting the franchise.


Warner Bros. Pictures Group President Jeff Robinov has told the Wall Street Journal that they are doing what Louis Leterier did at Marvel with The Incredible Hulk. What Christopher Nolan did with Batman Begins and what eventually led to The Dark Knight - one of the biggest and most profitable films of all time.

They are admitting they made a mistake and are starting again...

		<description><![CDATA[After very positive test screenings, Bryan Singer's first non superhero movie in ten years, his Adolf Hitler WW-II assassination movie Valkyrie is back to being a 2008 release.

MGM are releasing the film on Boxing Day (December 26th 2008) and it will be heavily promoted as an awards candidate.


Originally, Valkyrie had been setup as a late Summer 08 release before bad buzz and some re-shoots pushed back the film to a quiet and strange February open, to late for any awards chance. But now it's back as an 08 release and for the first time in many months we have some positive news on the film.

Based on an actual group of men led by Col. Claus von Sauffenberg (Tom Cruise) the film will depict Operation Valkyrie, the attempt by British and German officers to kill Hitler during the height of his power.

David Bamber plays Hitler. Tom Wilkinson, Eddie Izzard, Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Terrence Stamp, Carice Van Houten, Kevin McNally and Thomas Kretschmann support what is a fine ensemble cast.

You can see the rather odd and almost camp trailer for the film HERE.

In this world racing exo-suits have replaced fighter jets, with the story focusing on a genetically engineered racer who learns that his bloodline has the power to change society. It's described as a character driven flick with awesome set pieces.

It's the second big deal in a week for Singer, who will only produce this material. He also optioned the upcoming comic book series Capeshooters on Wednesday.

Talking to Variety...
"This is a timeless story about young people struggling to break free of authority. That's what ultimately appealed to me," Singer said.

		<description><![CDATA[Bryan Singer is turning nasty, he's no longer interested in movies about the superheroes of the X-Men and Superman franchise. Oh no, the next comic book project we will see with his name attached will be much darker.

Variety say he will produce but not direct Capeshooters, a new movie from Warner Bros. based on the upcoming comic creation by Rob Liefeld, the former Marvel Comics artist who left to become co-founder of Image Comics.


In Capeshooters, two slackers shoot guerilla style footage of superheroes but find themselves in all kinds of trouble when they shoot evidence that a superhero is actually a bad guy villain. Presumably, the villain doesn't want that evidence to get out and he does everything in his power to stop it.

J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani, two producers who worked on the show Anchorwomen will adapt the screenplay. 

Don't mind the idea behind the plot, can't get excited over the chosen writers though. Would have loved to see Singer direct this actually, and with a little less pressure prove to us that he still has something to say in this genre as the future of the Superman franchise hangs up in the air. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First Mark Millar, and now Louis Letterier?

Both guys have mentioned Superman reboots, it looks like something is really going down over at Warner Bros. and it doesn't involve Bryan Singer who has probably been dumped on his ass after the less than impressive Superman Returns.

Speaking to a French media outlet, The Incredible Hulk director claims he has heard whispers that WB are considering rebooting the Superman franchise, or as he puts it "reinventing it".

No shit, they should have done that LAST time!

Confusion began earlier in the day when a couple of bloggers read the translation of his interview wrong, and claimed he said that he had held talks with Warner Bros. over directing the new movie himself. Thankfully that turned out to be mis-communication.

A couple of weeks back we heard Mark Millar mention that WB a "well known American action director" had called him up to team together and pitch a new project involving Supes to Warners. Letterier is only semi-known but he is most certainly an action director after cooking up The Transporter series and the recent Hulk movie. And of course he ain't American.
Whatever or whoever it is, I think the death nail has been hammered into Singer's ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by what Marvel did with The Incredible Hulk and completely turned off by what Bryan Singer and his writing team did with Superman Returns... comic book writer Mark Millar (Wanted) is aiming to retcon the red, white and blue character giving him a refreshing restart if Warner Bros. agree to his planned pitch.

He also mentions that the superhero property which he is planning his big presentation to the studio, now has a director attached which he will reveal closer to Christmas time.


“Since I was a kid I’ve always wanted to reinvent Superman for the 21st century,” said Millar. “I’ve been planning this my entire life. I’ve got my director and producer set up, and it’ll be 2011. This is how far ahead you have to think. The Superman brand is toxic after that last movie lost [a good chunk of change], but in 2011 we’re hoping to restart it. Sadly I can’t say who the director is, but we may make it official by Christmas.”
I don't think it's the worst idea at all. Let's forget Superman Returns ever happened ala Ang Lee's Hulk.

Knowing that his quotes to the Daily Record would spread like wildfire over the Internet, Millar was ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the writing and directing team that brought us The Usual Suspects, this WW-II Tom Cruise vehicle has been the subject of much discussion over the last 18 months and I've had a general sense of feeling from the web that most people are already saying the film was a failure.

I know that can't be possible as it's not out until February but with all the problems the film has endured during production and the negative press over Cruise playing a Nazi including his problems over shooting at German historical sites because of his religion, any mention of this film has left a sour taste in people's mouths.

Now comes the trailer, courtesy of Variety and we can now officially start to have an opinion over what the film will be like.

There is a very slight sense of campness about the trailer but I think that is possibly heightened more by the awful music and the quick cutting together of scenes. I'm sure the final product will carry a far more serious tone, as The Usual Suspects did.



Tom Cruise mis-cast? That's been at the heart of the pre-trailer discussion and I have to say they may have been right - or ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Filming began over a year ago on Bryan Singer's next movie, his WW-II thriller Valkyrie but he hasn't finished shooting everything he wanted just yet.

Variety's Peter Bart has informed us on his blog that Tom Cruise has donned his eye patch once more and returned to film three extra days of shooting. No word on why there was a delay...
Cruise will be shooting three scenes in North Africa within the next three weeks. In one, his character, Col. Claus Von Stauffenberg, is badly injured but survives, a key moment in the film’s first act.
Bart goes on to tell us that people he trusts who have seen Valkyrie in it's current form claim it's "a superb thriller".

He also notes that Cruise is adamant on releasing the movie through his U.A. on Friday 13th February 2009. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Smart, smart move from the Weinsteins - and how often have I been able to say that for the past couple of years?

As Bryan Singer keeps pushing back his World War II ensemble drama Valkyrie, those two prolific studio execs have been scouring the back catalogue of foreign cinema and recently picked up the distribution rights to a 2004 German movie titled Operation Valkyrie.

The movie tells the exact same detailed plot about the failed assassination attempt on the life of Adolf Hitler during the height of his reign as next year's Hollywood version starring Tom Cruise.

The German version stars Sebastian Koch who you will recognise from two movies that have already made it to English language shores Black Book and The Lives of Others and was actually developed as a made for t.v. feature.

With the right marketing campaign... this could put a small dent in Singer's movie but let's not lose our heads, it probably won't effect it at all. Extremely rarely does the second film dealing with the exact same subject fare well at the box office because most people aren't interested in seeing the same film twice, just with different actors in the same roles HOWEVER this is ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In what is claimed to be purely a tactical move, the much hyped second big film from the newly reformed United Artists - the WWII thriller Valkyire - will now open on February 13th next year, attempting to take advantage of the President's Day Weekend. The film was previously slotted for an October 08 release.

Universal's remake of The Wolf Man was originally set to open on that February weekend but has also been pushed back, probably because of that brief delay they had with finding a replacement director after Mark Romanek's sudden departure. All being well that film should now open April 3rd 2009.

While I'm at it, news leaked a few days ago that the much anticipated adaptation of The Time Traveler's Wife has moved from a June release - to a November opening. The only reason I can think of is due to the recent sale of New Line to Warner Bros. who might want to change it's marketing campaign for the film.

Valkyrie will now play opposite the Isla Fischer chick flick Confessions of a Shopaholic and the new Friday the 13th redo.
"MGM is proud and excited to be presenting 'Valkyrie,' and because of that we want to give ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here's a small treat from the new Empire Magazine which hits the stands tomorrow (Friday) in the U.K...

It's a shot of Bryan Singer working with some of the actors on the set of the now completed Valkyrie (shooting wise at least) and shows two of the main actors from the movie, vets Tom Cruise (after well over two decades, can we call him a vet now?) and Bill Nighy. At least I think that's Bill Nighy in the photo!

Don't think I need to tell you the plot of Valkyrie once again at this point, you should all know it by now. And if you don't, then get the hell off my site damnit. You don't deserve to lurk these paths!

One of the best cast movies of 2008 for my money and one of the coolest plots too. I really hope this is Singer getting back into the groove and with this being an October release, there is every chance it will be jostling out for the Oscars next year.

Speaking of movies I can't wait for, said issue of Empire are devoting much of this month's issue towards the new Indiana Jones flick. Which reminds me... where is that damn second ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some updates on Iron Man and Superman: The Man of Steel...

 CONFIRMED: Bryan Singer IS back for Superman: The Man of Steel. That was true. He said this to Empire...
"I’m just getting back with writers after the strike. We’re just in the development phase. I’m starting to develop a sequel...with the intention of directing it."
Ok that's cool. I do think Singer has a knock out Superman film in him and after what the guy did with X-Men 2, we know he is capable of making a much more epic and assured second film in a franchise...
"The first one was a romantic film and a nostalgic film,” he says. “I’ll be the first person to own up to that without making any apologies for it. I knew it was going to be that from the outset. And now that the characters are established, there’s really an opportunity to up the threat levels...Clearly there’ll be a body count [laughs]. From frame one, it will be 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!”
Unrelenting terror? Presuming that is a joke but comments like that do hint at ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We've spoken many, many times about Superman Returns and my gross dislike of the film and my huge disappointment at the direction that Bryan Singer took with the picture after making several great movies, including two good comic book flicks with X-Men and X-Men 2.

But I've also always said that I'm not adverse to giving Singer another go. He has in the past talked about going "Wrath of Khan" on the movie and I would really like to see a darker Supes flick. Something that doesn't involve Lex Luthor for a change. Maybe something that doesn't heavily involve Lois Lane, especially if Kate Bosworth is playing the character again.

The future of Superman: The Man of Steel has been extremely uncertain with both Bryan Singer and Warner Bros. execs being far more interested in working on other projects. I mean the whole point of the JLA flick was to replace Superman sequel on the release schedule.

But the interest is finally back for the franchise. Here's IESB...
Ok, here's the big news, Robert has informed me that he has confirmed that yes, Bryan Singer is 100% on the sequel to his 2004 revamp Superman Returns. He has since confirmed this with studio sources ...]]></description>
