Mark Millar (
Wanted) talked to
G4 about his proposed
Superman movie project which has a mysterious American director attached. They pitched the idea to Warner Bros. Pictures and hope to get word over the next few weeks. If the studio decides to go with their version, they'd like to be shooting by next summer:
"I've had this plan for like 10 years for a big three-picture Superman thing, like a Lord of the Rings epic, starting over from scratch again with a seven-hour Superman story. One to be released each year." Millar said.

It won't work. Millar is insane if he thinks he can capture a complete/satisfying history of Superman in 3 films. If he really wants to go from 1000 years ago on Krypton to the moment Earth's sun turns red and supernovas, then he has to realize that for each hour he wants to film he's going to have to show at least 200 years. How much screen time is he planning for Lois, Jimmy, Perry and Lex? 30 seconds?
Honestly, Superman has been around for nearly 80 years. What makes this guy think he can capture 80 years of comic, television and film history into 3 movies?
