After a long and competitive run, the director for the second "Superman" reboot has been chosen and the shocking choice is director of visually stunning movies such as "300" and "Watchmen," Zack Snyder. Among the race were Darren Aronofsky and Matt Reeves. Interesting aspect of this story is that the choice was made by high profile producers, Christopher Nolan and David Goyer. I didn't expect Nolan to choose Snyder due to their completely different style in directing. Snyder mostly focuses on the visual aesthetics of the movie while Nolan is famous for mind bending concepts and flawless stories.
This has to be yet another high-profiled project for Snyder after "Watchmen". It would be interesting to see how Snyder handles this reboot given that Snyder's specialty is cool fancy special effects and extremely dramatic slow motion action scenes, and there is nothing fancy about Superman, he is the simplest and most nerdy of all superheroes. I guess, Snyder might have to break the habit on this one. I just hope it comes out better than his last high-profiled project "Watchmen".
