Millar hits out at 'Superman' reports
Writer Mark Millar has hit out at reports that he was never in the frame to pen the next Superman film.
It was recently confirmed that Dark Knight scribe David S. Goyer is in line to script the movie for Warner Bros. Millar previously went on record to say that he and Kick-Ass helmer Matthew Vaughn were in originally talks for the project.
Writing on his blog, the scribe slammed allegations that such discussions never took place. "I must stress that the 'inside info' on my relationship to the movie is nonsense," he said. "I can say on the record that Vaughn had meetings with [Warner Bros.] about our ideas over a year ago.
"I can't stand these massive declarations coming from 'unknown sources. I've said on the record that WB had direct and serious talks with Vaughn and Vaughn was only doing it if we did it together. This didn't work out and we're doing something else, but the notion that it's fiction is insane."
Despite taking offence at the speculation surrounding his pitch, Millar backed the studio's decision to hire Goyer. "Awesome for Goyer," he added. "He's a brilliant writer and a mate of mine so [I] feel this could not be in better hands."
The movie is being developed under the working title The Man Of Steel.
