[eng]Take it with a grain of salt for now, but we've heard from a reader - who wishes to reamin anonymous - that McG might no longer be guiding the skyward bound bird that is 'Superman'. Though there hasn't been anything official saying the 'Charlies Angels' director is back on the project, he has mentioned in various interviews and in the trades that there is some talk about it. Could that talk have ended up with McG leaving the Warners car park in a huff and a puff?

[eng]"I'm hopeful," he said in an interview at ABC television's winter press preview, where he was promoting his series, Alias. "It was a blast to [write]. I'm crossing my fingers. I hope they do it, because I'd love to see that movie. I love working with the director, McG, so we'll see what happens. I'd love to make it work."
Abrams said that the future of the project was in the hands of the studio, which has asked for several drafts of the script. "I've been working on it for a year and a half," Abrams said. "So it's gone through many, many iterations." One major bump in the development process so far has been finding the right actor to play the iconic Man of Steel, Abrams said, adding that the search is ongoing. "There are some candidates," he said, though he would not confirm any possible names.[/eng]
