Smith slams 'Superman Returns' for not being gay
Indo-Asian News Service
New York, July 25 (IANS) Filmmaker Kevin Smith has slammed
"Superman Returns" for not being gay enough.
According to hollywood.com, Smith, who had originally written
the script for the movie before director Bryan Singer took over,
is upset that Singer did not make Superman
more gay.
Smith said: "I love 'X-Men' and 'X-Men 2'. I think 'X-Men 2' is
a fantastic comic-book movie, and I love the fact that that dude
(Singer) knows how to make a popcorn movie,
but he likes to throw a little enlightenment in there. You look
at the 'X-Men' movies and it's an allegory for what it's like to
be gay, like, if you take the word 'mutant' out of that
movie and stick 'gay' in, the movie still works."
He added: "I was really looking
forward to him doing the third one because it would be an
out-and-out gay fantasia -- I was hoping that the dude would go
for a kind of
'Brokeback Mutant' kind of movie, but he opted to do 'Superman'.
"I thought he'd make a really gay Superman but he didn't; it was
more Jesus' Superman... a lot of Messianic poses and what not
and I was hoping for a little more gay action.'"
