He may have been six months ago. If he is now, his name wasn't mentioned.

I'm told they have begun meeting with a short list of directors for the job of directing Superman, the picture which will be financed by Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures. On the list: Unstoppable's Tony Scott, Let Me In director Matt Reeves, Battle: Los Angeles helmer Jonathan Liebesman (who just got the Warner Bros/Legendary job of directing Clash of the Titans 2), Duncan Jones, who just directed Source Code, and Sucker Punch helmer Zack Snyder.

And I could swear I remember a story from June or July where Jonathan Nolan was out of the running but I haven't been able to dig anything up, so maybe that's just my imagination.

Pretty sure SG1 went ten seasons also..

Maybe if smallville wasnt horrible for the past 4+ years they could be proud about making ten years..

I still have no idea how it made it this far.. I still DVR it hoping it will catch its magic from the first seasons.. The only good thing from this, is we got the actor that plays dean in Supernatural..

I actually liked last year a lot. Season 8 was just brutal, though.

More Superman director hunt news, might as well throw it here:

Quote:

Aronofsky in, Affleck out ofthe running to direct the new Superman movie at Warner Bros.

The derby to helm the Christopher Nolan-produced Man of Steel pic has become the talk of the town. Nolan is knee-deep in the selection process, and he and producer/wife Emma Thomas will be heavily involved in the movie, so he's looking for a director who is able to handle the elaborate production and willing to collaborate.

Word began to leak last week of directors who were meeting or will meet with Nolan and Warner brass for the relaunch of one of Hollywood's biggest franchises. Duncan Jones (“Moon”), Jonathan Liebesman ("Battle: Los Angeles"), Matt Reeves (“Cloverfield,” this Friday’s “Let Me In”), Tony Scott and Zack Snyder are on the list.

And so was Affleck, who is extremely popular at Warners after making “The Town,” a critical and box-office hit. But according to insiders, the actor-director -- who, ironically, once portrayed the actor who played Superman on TV in "Hollywoodland" -- met about "Superman" last week but is no
longer pursuing it.

Aronofsky, riding high on buzz generated by his upcoming “Black Swan,” is still in active talks, according to sources. But it's early.

If he were to get the gig, there would be some irony: A decade ago, Aronofsky was attached to direct a Batman movie loosely based on a storyline written by Frank Miller. That didn't happen, and it paved the way for Nolan to direct "Batman Begins."

Back on track... just watched the first episode and didn't really get it. Why did Chloe trade herself for Oliver Queen, and why would whoever holding him want Chloe instead? Why did Lois, after finally finding out who Clark was, suddenly bug out at the end of the episode? Were those just two incredibly lame and nonsensical plot devices to explain the fact that Mack and Durance weren't going to be in a lot of episodes? :shrug:

Smallville has been confusing me since 2004!

WTF? two crappy eps in a row?

Chloe has some badass reputation in the hacker world, maybe there is an angle there? Having said that, I was led to believe that Oliver was snagged by minions of Apokolips, so I don't know what the G-Man looking dude was that was working over Oliver was all about. And yeah, I don't get the Lois angle, especially since now she knows for sure that Clark is "The Blur" (worst hero name evah, btw).

"It's a process"

I'm liking this season more than you guys for some reason. I'm curious to see where it's all leading. I'm not sure I'm not enjoying Smallville more than Supernatural through two weeks, which is about a 180 from the previous five years.

And he's getting there with the uniform, lol. Baby steps.

I hated that chick. I was hoping the whole episode she'd die in some horrible way.

All I know is that my life won't be complete until I see a full 16-page Maxin photo shoot featuring Erica Durance in a cold, cold room. I need diameter and eraser tips.

SCOOP: Zack Snyder Directing 'Superman'
By MIKE FLEMING Monday October 4, 2010 @ 2:49pm PDT

UPDATE & EXCLUSIVE: I just spoke with Zack Snyder, who confirms that as soon as he completes post on Sucker Punch, he'll move right into Warner Bros' long awaited next Man of Steel movie in development with Chris Nolan and David Goyer. "I've been a big fan of the character for a long time, he's definitely the king of all superheroes, he's the one," Snyder, who directed Watchmen and 300, told me. "It's early yet, but I can tell you that what David and Chris have done with the story so far definitely has given me a great insight into a way to make him feel modern. I've always felt he was kind of awesome. I'll finish Sucker Punch and get right at it."

EXCLUSIVE: Zack Snyder has been chosen to direct the new installment of Superman for Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures. Snyder was on a short list of directors that I recently revealed met with the studio as well as producers Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas. Other choices at the time included helmers Tony Scott, Matt Reeves, Jonathan Liebesman, and Duncan Jones. I think Snyder is an inspired choice. He is a cornerstone filmmaker for Warner Bros., a visual stylist whose efforts for the studio include 300, Watchmen, and the upcoming Sucker Punch. Deadline revealed back on February 9 that the DC Comics stalwart Superman became a priority project when Nolan agreed to godfather it. He and David S. Goyer hatched the story and Goyer wrote the script. The new Superman's producers also include Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder while co-financer Legendary Pictures' Thomas Tull will serve as executive producer. I'm sure there will be hot debate on Snyder as the choice, but judging from 300, you can be sure the Man of Steel will have an inspired six-pack.

Cool. I like the choice not because of what he did with 300, but with what he did with Watchmen.

I didn't like 300 or Watchmen at all so this doesn't really sound like good news to me.
