Well, here is something interesting...It looks like that Warner Bros. Pictures wants Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes, RocknRolla) to direct Xerxes, a sequel to Zack Snyder's 300.



From Vulture:

Warner Bros. has offered Xerxes — the sequel to Zach Snyder’s epic 300 — to none other than Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie. Like 300 before it, Xerxes is based on one of Frank Miller’s graphic novels and had been developed by Snyder, who'd planned to direct his own script.


The report also says that there are some script problems with Zack Synder's Superman reboot:

One theory is that Warner Bros. needs Snyder to bear down on Superman stat: Insiders say the closely-guarded script for Superman suffers from major third-act problems, and the studio faces a ticking clock on that franchise, legally speaking; if a Superman film isn’t in production by 2013, Warner Bros. loses the rights to the entire Superman franchise and would have to re-license it from its original creators.


So, what are your thoughts on this?
