Brandon Routh’s Superman Contract Has Lapsed

Here are the key quotes from Routh. Firstly, on the small matter of the contract:
On Warners’ plans for the series:
The term of the contract expired. But if they call me again, I’ll go back to the character without thinking twice.
On why he thinks Superman Returns may have disappointed:
I do not know anything. I’m sure that Warner Bros. is moving there, but everything is still uncertain. Actually, I do not know anything.
I think it is missing some beating.
Routh’s next starring role in the Dylan Dog movie Dead of Night was rumored to be going straight to DVD for a while before Platinum Studios’ Dan Forcey told Think McFly Think that they were “contractually obligated and guaranteed a theatrical release of at least 1,100 screens” and “couldn’t do direct-to-DVD if we wanted to.”
Doesn’t change the fact that it has a truly dreadful screenplay and will very possibly feel like a direct-to-DVD movie, though.
