Yeah, my first impression was that Culkin....not cool

They need to hire Brad Bird. He worte and directed Iron Giant and the Incredibles and Ratatouille and is working on Mission Impossible IV for next year.

Tremendous storyteller, who gets Superman.

I 100% agree with you. I don't even understand how the film needs to be live action. The problem is Pixar got bought by Disney and I think Bird has his sites on moving on to live action movies that have nothing to do with superheroes.

That's a shame. We absolutely NEED a 2nd Incredibles movie. I'd much rather have that than another Cars flick. I liked Cars, but The Incredibles more than lived up to it's name!!!

Bird would be a good choice for Supes.

Howzabout...Dick Donner! I bet he could do it, and NOT go overboard homaging himself.

I think Incredibles 2 is happening with or without Bird - it's part of the whole reason Disney bought Pixar, as far as I understand it. Disney kept pressuring Pixar to develop sequels that Pixar didn't want to do. If it was totally up to Disney Pixar would ONLY create sequels - they bought them with some kind of arrangement like one sequel, one original.

My pet theory is this is why Bird doesn't have any more Pixar movies on the horizon.

Personally, I loved "The Incredibles" and have no desire to see weaker installments with the same characters.

Columbus was attached to Fantastic Four for a long while - I think they wanted someone cheaper and less qualified for the job because they wanted to make sure it was terrible.
