From most accounts circulating behind the scenes the Superman Returns sequel is happening and aiming for 2010. The question remains, does the sequel already have the writer(s) or are meetings still taking place? Over the next couple of days I will be reporting on some of the possible contenders:
Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci
The duo worked on the summer blockbuster Transformers and the upcoming Star Trek film. Iris from www.brandonrouth.com reported that "Kurtzman and Orci seem to be interested in writing a script for MoS" on November 17th, 2007, just after Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris left the project in October.

On February 6th I reported that a "famous screenwriter" was talking with WB, this screenwriter was Roberto Orci.
Some rumors are circulating that the WB is preparing to bring a "famous screenwriter" in to discuss a possible Superman Returns sequel or a totally different Superman movie. Right now of course this is just a rumor. However, with the strike seemingly winding down and the latest news before the strike being WB was bringing in various writers to meet with, one has to wonder.

On March 10th, 2008 IESB reported that Orci and Kurtzman were in talks with WB to pen the sequel.
Word is Transformers/Star Trek scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are considering being behind the project. This gives Superman fans hope after Returns' mild disappointment amongst fan boys. The pair are apparently in talks and have had "several meetings" regarding the film. No need to worry about a lack of action from these two!
