ROTTEN TOMATOES: "Mayor of Castro Street" Holds Up Singer's Super Sequel, "Man of Steel"

"Mayor of Castro Street" Holds Up Singer's Super Sequel, "Man of Steel"

by Fred Topel | July 01, 2007

Bryan Singer had previously told us that the "Superman Returns" sequel "Superman: The Man of Steel" would be his next film after "Valkyrie." His producers tell another story. Neil Meron and Craig Zadan have Singer lined up to direct "The Mayor of Castro Street," a story of gay rights activist Harvey Milk, within a year.

"The next Superman, that's a ways off," claimed Meron, with Zadan adding. "Don't worry about it. Trust me. We may even start preproduction on Harvey Milk while he's on post production on the Tom Cruise movie."

These boys are determined to make their movie, comic books be damned. "We've been working on that for 15 years," said Meron. "It started off with Oliver Stone and Robin Williams. Now it's Bryan Singer directing, Chris McQuarrie writing the script."

Producing partners Meron and Zaden have had quite a prolific run of producing projects, including the Emmy and Golden Globes-winning TV films "Gypsy" and "Life With Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows," 2002's Oscar winning Best Picture "Chicago," and the upcoming New Line release, "Hairspray."

Who wants to play a game? It's called "Guess how many posts before aknddon3 comes and starts complaining about Superman Returns?"

It will take at least one page before he comes here...or maybe he'll see me, throw on his Spider-Man costume, stick himself to the ceiling, grab his laptop with his webbing and start teeing off. :)

don't care about his other movies.....we want Superman!

on second thought, i should be specific. *We want an action packed Superman! with a really cool super villain!* no superman battling his emotions, that doesnt make a good superman movie......(at least not to me.)

Don't worry. I'll behave. I wish RT had an "ignore" button or a button that one could press that would drop a user into a moat of sludge where ever they may be.

Aknddon3 would be waterlogged ten times over.

Anyhow, I kid.

They don't even have a script ready for "Man of Steel". If Singer is too busy they should just hire another director. Chris Nolan would do just fine.

aknddon3 is still on his 5th viewing of Spider Man 3 waiting to see if it gets any better. Singer better get rolling soon, I'm getting impatient.

I hope it's better than Returns. Not that Returns totally sucked, but it could have been a lot better.

Or, a bank he passed by was being robbed so he pulled on his Spidey pajamas and snapped into action!

Don't forget! He goes to Notre Dame AND is a cage-fighter so I don't doubt he could pull that off. :)

Now nobody here would make fun of me when I say that Spider-Man 3 is my second fave of the year so far, right?

Because you're not the pretentiously awful poser that is aknddon3...plus you actually HAVE a brain. :)
