Bryan
Singer
on ...
MASTER AT PLAY: Bryan Singer prepares an extensive model for a scene in Superman Returns in which a train speeds across the
metropolis leading to a huge explosion ... kaboom!
studio, one of us asked, Can we ask
him questions about Superman? After
all, we were in Los Angeles to interview
Singer about his new mini-series The
Triangle, which is due to air on Star
World in a couple of months.
Sure, the answer came and we were
all elated.
Confession time: I grew up a comic
geek but while most of my friends
were crazy over X-Men and the
marvels, no pun intended, of Marvel
Comics characters I was always a DC
boy. The Justice League of America
were my heroes Batman, Flash, Green
Lantern and of course, Supes himself.
Walking into Singers office was like
walking into a Superman capsule. On
the left was a picture of him throwing a
Frisbee with Stephan Bender (who
plays the young Clark Kent), with the
latter in mid-air.
Other Superman posters float about,
and the one that caught my eye was
the metallic blue poster with the S
symbol in the middle of it with the
words Returns 2006 at the bottom. The
pre-publicity poster this was real!
Singer walks into the office (with a
friend, who looks eerily like actor
Brandon Routh before he put on the
9kg for his role as Superman) and as he
sits, he hums the classic John Williams
Superman theme.
Nice tune youre humming, I joked.
Ah, no, Singer laughed as he
pointed in the direction of the editing
