I just got off the phone with big shot Hollywood filmmaker Bryan Singer who’s newest film Valkyrie is coming out on December 25th. We spoke at length about the film, about Tom Cruise, about why people lose their minds with gossip about Tom Cruise and what it is like working with a man who can’t sneeze without being on the front page of the New York Post. (See pic above for Singer on the set working with said man.) We’ll have a full transcript of the conversation soon, but I wanted to get something to you as quickly as possible: Bryan Singer on Superman: Man of Steel:
Jordan Hoffman: Bryan, I have to ask you…..The Man of Steel! Superman!
Bryan Singer: I couldn’t – I wish I had an answer.
JH: I’m strapping you to a lie detector right now.
BS: (laughs) Yeah?
JH: You feel that on your arm?
BS: Yeah, yeah.
JH: That’s me strapping a lie detector to you.
BS: Okay.
JH: Tell me something about Superman and you and your relationship together.
BS: I love Superman and I can not tell you anything else. I, uh……
JH: Would you like to tell me something else? But you simply can’t?
BS: I can’t, I….no-no I wish I could! Yeah! I wish I could, but there’s nothing I have to tell. I’ve got a world tour (laughs) press tour on Valkyrie, a premiere in New York, uh –
JH: But there is talk of a new film, though. Are you officially involved in this talk of the new film?
BS: I am not officially involved in the talk, no.
JH: But when talk happens they’ll call you.
BS: Well it’s, you know, I have relationships with Warner Brothers and with the character and, and, and, and it’s just the way things work out.
JH: But you are not divorced from Superman at this point.
BS: No.
JH: All right.
