And speaking of me being right about everything, it was recently announced Channing Tatum is in talks to play Superman...
Lego Superman, that is. I'm more surprised by there actually being a Lego Movie, but there you go, Batman and Superman are a part of that.
Reactions are varied, but one thing is for sure...I called it. I wrote this in 2009 in the thread "
You're the producer of the Superman Film" in the form of supposed future news.

A spokesperson for WB has announced that a new take on the Superman

earlier this year. The spokesperson says the executives where so
impressed they immediately put Ramirez with a team of writers so the
film could be out the gate by 2012. No more details where revealed, even
whether the movie is a reboot or a sequel, but that a full reveal was
coming in November.

Hey, as long as I'm daydreaming, I might as well put myself in there, huh?

Could Blomkamp direct "Superman"?
The rumor mill is churning! The fine folks at IESB report that the new
Superman film could be directed by none other than South African
director Neil Blomkamp. Fresh off his newest film, District 9, Blomkamp
has definitively proven to have a vision for storytelling.
Also making the rounds are rumors that the movie's plot is an all new
origin story featuring multiple villains, included some rather obscure
ones. Stay tuned.

Ain't no Kamp like the Blomkamp! This guy's gonna be huge someday!

Meet the Rogues Gallery of Superman: Up in the Sky
My sources inside WB have it on good word what villains will be a thorn
on Superman's side come next 2011 . But Don't let them know you heard
it from me!
We already know Lex Luthor is in, but my sources say the film will also
have Livewire, Manchester Black, Silver Banshee, and The Parasite, as
well as Crime boss Bruno Manheim . Click on each name for more
information.
I am kind of worried. Though. We don't want the movie to become
encumbered with characters, like X3: The Last Stand. What do you think?

Putting on a group of smaller villains. They are essentially superpowered henchmen in the film."
Suffice to say, the "group of Smaller villains" bit came true in Smallville, with at least two of my called for members joining up."
They said I was crazy. I WAS. But I was also right that Tatum was going to be big later down the road.
And then I did the photoshop.

| I still think Rosario Dawson should be Lois, and you can't stop me thinking it. |
In my
fully posted online script for a Superman Reboot, I brought your worst nightmares screaming into the real world. It is I who stared into the abyss and said: "Sure, I could see this guy as Superman." Sure, you guys where right about who should play Superman, and who would play Superman, but I was right about who was considered for Superman and potentially cast as the Lego version of him! Yesh! EEEEYESH-AH!
