Superman Lives: The film’s production startdate has been pushed back once again, from April to August. The delay is due to various problems, including the never-ending debate over the script. Cage & Burton are both considering walking, with Cage expressing he may have to due to such a negative fan response. Sources within Warner Bros. are saying it’s not a question of if, but when WB will announce the project’s canning. Let’s hope not, maybe they should just go back to Kevin Smith’s draft (that would be a prudent move on Warners part).

Most likely, this is the beans that Kevin was waiting to spill (or for someone else to spill). As far as we’re concerned, can the flick. We doubt they’re gonna revert back to Kev’s draft, and the movie’s turning into a major mess from the sound of things, anyway.

Y-Life: How has the site changed your work?

Kevin Smith: You get a lot of feedback (from fans) on certain things you’re working on. It’s a nice guiding light, so to speak.

Y-Life: Do you find it’s helping fans of your films connect with one another?

Kevin Smith: It’s definitely helped our fan base hook up. We’re having a minigala, and people are coming from all over. We sell the tickets exclusively through the Web site. So, yeah, there’s a real familial aspect to the whole thing.

Y-Life: Do you think that some studios aren’t using the Net as well as they could be?

Kevin Smith: The studios should really be embracing (the Net). Why not get online and listen to the people who eventually buy the tickets, and tailor it to that? Don’t make what you think they want to see.

Y-Life: How has the Net affected you personally?

Kevin Smith: I get all wound up with the site…then go cruisin’ around the Net. It’s like the Bermuda Triangle-you can get lost there, you disappear and never come back. It does take up a lot of your day, but all things in moderation, right? You just can’t get nuts.
