Warner Brothers, oh how you doth mock me so!

It seems the almighty WB is doing everything in it's power to turn the new Superman movie into a crock of shit. And now they've just hammered one of the biggest possible nails in this project's coffin - they have hired Neal Moritz and Gilbert Adler as new producers to oversee the project. Jon Peters will retain producer credit but is unlikely to be an active contributor to the project any longer.

In case you've been on Mars for the last five years, let me run you through some of the "highlights" or Moritz and Adler's collective resumes:

The Fast & The Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, SWAT, Torque, Ghost Ship, xXx

And if any single one out of you reading this doesn't see what the problem is here then I swear I'm off to live on an Albanian Musk Ox farm. This entire project is so far past a joke I can't see why ANYONE would be haemorraging money on it. But alas, it seems not,

Superman has yet to receive an official greenlight. The script has just receieved another rewrite to try and reduce the budget to a meagre $200,000,000. McG is still not guaranteed the director's job, and WB has yet to approve any of his choices for potential tight-wearers. Yet pre-production has been rescheduled (for the 100,131,233,213th time) for late 2004.

Don't watch this space... you'll get cramp.
