Bryan Singer elaborates on when he said "I plan to get all Wrath of Kahn on it."
TODAYonline recently caught up with director Bryan Singer who talked briefly about the sequel to this summer’s Superman Returns.
However, at July’s annual Comic Con International in San Diego, a convention of comic book, film and science fiction fans, Singer had revealed that the follow-up film would have more action.
"I plan to get all ‘Wrath of Khan’ on it,” he told convention goers at the time, referring to the 1982 film Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. Asked to expand on his remarks, Singer told TODAY: “What I was referring to was the fact that, when you do a first film like X-Men, for example, you’re introducing a world and a set of characters.
"Once those characters are introduced, once we’ve lived with them for awhile and we know them, when you get into a second film like an Empire Strikes Back (sequel to Star Wars: A New Hope) or a Wrath of Khan, you can make an action-adventure film and you don’t have to bank all that time getting to know the characters. Now you can raise the stakes, raise the jeopardy and make a leaner, meaner movie."
