Bet you didn't see THAT coming, laddies and lassies!
But this is one of several big surprises planned for next year and you'll hear a bit more about this in February when we start to release details. What is it? Who is it about? Well, that's all a secret for now, but I learned a lot from Kick-Ass and love having the same creative freedom I have with comics when I work in cinema. I never want to be a studio bitch and go in there pitching for them to love me. The closest I came to this was a couple of calls regarding Superman, but pretty much none of my plans ever revealed as I didn't like the idea of anyone nicking them.
Similarly, I don't like the idea of asking for funding and justifying scenes with the money-men so I'm doing what Matthew Vaughn did with Kick-Ass and just making it outside the system with private investors. The financing is all secured and the movie stands or falls on how good I can make it, doing what Matthew did and just selling it once completed.
As you can imagine, I couldn't be more excited. More as it happens, but this might just beat out War Heroes and American Jesus as my follow-ups to the Wanted and Kick-Ass movies. Have two other pictures about to go into development (and Wanted and Kick-Ass 2, of course), but I think you need to scare the Hell out of yourself every once in a while and something totally new like directing should do the trick.

Damn. I was hoping the Superman Reboot would happen.

He pretty much states that he is not doing Superman, but I would love a comic book film with Millar at the helm. Just so long as it doesn't turn out as disappointing as Frank Miller's "Sin City." Eck.

i like millar but idk if i'd like his version of superman, if anyone knows of any superman he has written let me know so i can check it out. but all of wut i have read of his involves heroes who swear and use racial slurs and sh*t. i mean he made Captain America bad ass and anti-french. and Wesley Gibson from Wanted raped and killed ppl (comic version, not movie). I don't think he would definitely do that to Supes but i would be slightly nervous bout it.
either way though it sounds like his movie isn't the supes trilogy so i'm all for it.
