Pocket Full Of Kryptonite

Great news:

Superman may be vulnerable to kryptonite but for the director, McG, the anathema is Sydney. The man Warner Bros pegged to revive its Superman franchise has left the project because he wanted to shoot in New York, not Fox Studios.

Thank God. McG has brought us such classics as Charlie's Angels, and what may be the greatest piece of film making in American cinematic history, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.

While the man being rumored to replace him, Michael Bay, has been involved in some less than stellar productions, (the contest between Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis, to see who can sound tougher while reciting the lion's share of their dialogue in a near-whisper, comes to mind) at least Mr. Bay has made a few watchable films.
