doomsday cage Would you still like to see a "Superman-Doomsday" live action movie?
About the same time as GI-Joe first surfaced nearly 14 years ago, word of a live action movie of DOOMSDAY, the creature who kills Superman, was planned. At the time Nicholas Cage was up for Clark Kent/Superman.
Word slowely came around, after several attempts at a script that it was too big a story to make into a movie, but the way i see it is if they can do "Deathly Hallows" into 2 movies, they can do the Death of Superman in one movie and the Life of Superman (reborn) in another.
The casting call was to be just as big as GI-Joe with the biggest casting calls in Hollywood history. Especially for the funeral scene. Michael Keaton had all ready signed for the Batman role in it even though very few would do anymore then stand in line as the casket goes past.
So, if they could get a script finalyzed would you like to see it happen?
It couldn't be b/c there's way more to the story. It not just Death of Superman and Life of Superman.
First they have to open the story, then have the battle that Doomsday had with everyone in the Justice League, then have the battle between Superman and Doomsday, then have the Funeral for a Friend storyline, then the Reign of the Supermen which includes the stories of The Eradicator (The Last Son of Krypton), Cyborg (The Man of Tomorrow), Steel (The Man of Steel), and Superboy (The Metropolis Kid). Not to mention that there are Lois Lane, Supergirl, and Lex Luther storylines happening through ALL of this. Finally, Superman spends enough time in stasis regenerating in the fortress of solitude to awaken and reclaim his place, and the Death of Clark Kent storyline takes place. The comics had three separate story arcs, so you'd have to have three movies... possibly with some spill over into the beginning of a fourth.
Never mind all that … it looks like the chooks have developed some sort of doomsday cage device as part of their plot to take over the world!
