Bryan Singer Signing On To New Warner Bros. Superhero Movie??

I am – Hercules!!


Bryan Singer, director of the first two “X-Men” movies and “Superman Returns,” is in talks to produce Warner Bros.’ big screen superhero project “Capeshooters.”

The Hollywood Reporter describes the premise:

J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani will write the screenplay, which follows two down-on-their-luck slackers who specialize in shooting videos of superheroes. They find themselves on the run when they uncover evidence that a legendary superhero actually is evil.

Lavin and Damiani were producers on last year's very short-lived Fox reality series "Anchorwoman."

"Capeshooters" is based on a not-yet-published graphic novel by Rob Liefeld ("Youngblood").

Read all of the Reporter’s story on the matter here.
