Before Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" hit the screens in 2006. We had all heard rumors of another film to be helmed by Tim Burton called "Superman Lives" which would star Nicolas Cage. However, due to disagreements with script and budgets, Burton left the project to direct Sleepy Hollow. After other directors, scripts, and stars came and went the film was finally scrapped in 2001.

In the last few years, leaked concept art and costume designs have surfaced all around the internet. While "Superman Returns" did become quite forgettable, I am happy that was the movie that made it to the theaters as opposed to the one with this guy.

Believe it or not "Superman Lives" ill fate began way before H.I. McDunnough threw on this set of PJs. Kevin Smith, director & comic book lover, tells his experience with this deathship of a film. Although I can't say I am a huge fan of all his cinematic efforts, Smith is a great raconteur. This story may be a bit long but it does paint a very real and humorous look at the Hollywood studio system.

Enjoy.

The Douger is away this week on a shoot so I'll be filling in with some nonsense posts.

From The Mind Of DER (Why WATCHMEN Failed At The Movies)

This is not a new concept.
A story suffering from a book to film adaptation.
It's going to happen. The deck is stacked. Real world time and resources against endless imagination where the only restriction is when words cease to fall on the page.
Most of the time we take it with a grain of salt and are willing to sacrifice a little to see some portion of a tale we loved come to life.
However, some are doomed from the start.
This is the first installment in a series of:

WHY THEY FAILED AS MOVIES : WATCHMEN

Police Academy REBOOT

Rick Barnhart and I were talking about this list of movie reboots in the works, and Police Academy stood out to us.  Out of all the movies in that list, I think this would benefit most from a reboot. I dragged my friend Boogs and Der in on the project, so here's our casting breakdown for a film destined to be  Oscar bound.

I'd like to thank all of our readers for taking the time to check out the post I made yesterday about how being homeless stinks.  Obviously one of the top brass over at the Cleveland Cavaliers read our blog and gave Ted Williams a job as their announcer as well as a house.

Williams was quoted as saying "That lady offered me a full-time job with the Cavs and then something about the mortgage of a home? I'm going with that! Out of all the offers I've had, and I've had quite a few, I'll be working in Cleveland, Ohio.".

Apparantly NFL Films also contacted him about doing some voiceover work.
