"The first draft of the screenplay has been completed and is currently titled 'SUPERMAN'. It is close to 140 pages long. The story, as we understand it, goes way back to the roots of the Man of Steel - including his birth planet, Krypton. Two villains are in the movie; Lex Luthor and another, whose identity is unknown at this point. We understand that both are formidable opponents. A great fan favourite, the one and only John Corben, will feature in the movie, but that doesn't mean his bad-ass alter-ego Metallo will. More familar names from the comic books also make appearances. We have no definite word yet on who these are. The writers - Bryan Singer, Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty - are said to be happy with the first draft. From all reports, fans will be delighted with the story! DC Comics' Paul Levitz has already been sent a copy."
