October 30, 2010: Donner Says Snyder is Good Director

MovieWeb.com asked “Superman: The Movie” director Richard Donner what he thought of Zack Snyder being chosen to direct the new Superman movie…

“Well, I think he could do a great job. You know he’s certainly a good director and hopefully he’s got a good handle on it,” answered Donner. “I mean I thought Bryan (Singer) did a wonderful job with the other film (Superman Returns). You could just do massive action and blow up stuff, but he chose to do the characters more, although he had some beautiful stuff in there. So I hope nobody tries to compete. I hope Zack doesn’t try to compete and I don’t think he’s that kind of director. I don’t think he’s going to want to compete with the best effects out there. I’m tired of it already. I’m tired of those … what are those machines? Transformers! Really, I mean they were great but lets settle back people and focus on the characters. The characters in Superman are just wonderful.”
