“There’s no promises anybody’s going to automatically love the movie just because it’s Superman.”-Michael Shannon

In a recent interview with BlackBooks (via CBM) Michael Shannon talked about how important the script is in a film, especially in a film like Man of Steel.

For something like Man of Steel, if that script was mediocre, would you have still done it just because it’s Superman?
I would still want the script to be ready to go. One of the main things on that is that Chris Nolan and David Goyer were in there writing the script, and those guys know what they’re doing. It can’t just be because it’s Superman. There’s no promises anybody’s going to automatically love the movie just because it’s Superman. There still has to be quality in all aspects of it. And yeah, I felt very confident making the decision to be involved because of the script, and because of Zack’s work as well.

All we have to say on the subject is that we’re thankful that Nolan and Goyer are writing Man Of Steel. Snyder’s vision and Nolan and Goyer’s ideas and words are sure to make for an excellent reboot of the Superman franchise!
