Comic book writer and creator, Mark Millar, is moving forward to his “Superman” trilogy dreams. The man wants to create an 8 hour trilogy, w/ Lord of the Rings and the Godfather style like “Superman” films.

He confirms he has found a big name director that he will work on this movie with, and he isn’t saying who that director is as of yet.

Mark Millar reveals more plot ideas. He says he wants the Superman trilogy to continue in a three part story, beggining with Kal-El being born on his home planet of Krypton, how he landed in Smallville where Jonathan and Martha Kent found him, Kal-El later became Clark Kent/Superman where he got a job as a news reporter at the Daily Planet in Metropolis, etc. It’s going to have it all. It’s look like Mark Millar wants the new Superman movies to stay true to the original comics. He says he wants the trilogy to end with Superman being the last man on Earth where our planet is being close to being destroyed.

He also explains that he wants the new Superman movies to be completely different. This is not going to be a homage to the Richard Donner film that Bryan Singer wanted it to be. It’s probably not going to have the classic John Williams score and all that.

The plot is sounding great. I love Mark Millar’s idea. Can’t wait to see who the director is going be as well.

Millar should still have the John Williams music though, so I hope he keeps the opening theme song for Superman as well.
