    Brett Ratner out of SUPERMAN for RUSH HOUR 3!

    http://www.lightsoutentertainment.co...ews.php?id=790

    In order to make his "Superman" deal last September, Ratner asked New Line if he could be released from their prior agreement that "Rush Hour 3" would be his next project. New Line gave its blessing, but with the understanding that the Chris Tucker-Jackie Chan action-comedy would follow thereafter.

    New Line hopes to have a first draft from Richman in eight weeks.

    As of Wednesday afternoon, according to his CAA reps, Ratner was still attached to "Superman." Later that day, Ratner's camp changed its tune, scrambling to release a statement late that evening.

    Stated Ratner, "I have chosen to withdraw as director of 'Superman.' The difficulty of casting the role of Superman has contributed to my decision. I appreciate the efforts of Warner Bros. and the entire production team during this process."

    Warners production president Jeff Robinov responded with his own statement: "We have tremendous regard for Brett's creativity and passion for this project and we understand that this was a very tough choice for him. We are disappointed but wish him the best in his future pursuits."

    just offer $20 million to the actor who will play Superman... that will do it...hehehehe

    It's not that no one wants to play Superman, it's that no one wants to be locked in for 10 years as Superman. Do all three films at once a la LOTR and you could probably find someone to do it. The money hasn't been an issue, most actors so far have been fine with that, it's just the money.
    Are you a Mexi-CAN or a Mexi-CAN'T?
