Bryan’s favorite movie is “Jaws” and he named his
production company, ”Bad Hat Harry Productions” after a line in the
famous movie. Bryan was
always a huge science fiction fan. He
loved Star Trek and was able to do a cameo spot in “Star Trek:
Nemesis” in 2002.
Bryan won acclaim for directing the movie “The Usual
Suspects” in 1995. The
movie starred Stephen Baldwin and Kevin Spacey.
Kevin Spacey won the best supporting actor oscar for his portrayal
of Roger ”Verbal” Kint in the movie. Bryan went on to direct many

Bryan Singer has directed many movies.
His first movie was “Lions Den” in 1988. In 1993 he directed
“Public Access”. He went
on to direct “The Usual Suspects” in 1995 and “Apt Pupil” in 1998.
He then directed the well-known X-Men movies.
Bryan became famous among comic book aficionados, making him a good
choice to direct “Superman Returns”.
There is already a script for the “Superman
Returns” sequel, due to be out in 2009, with Bryan Singer again
directing. One unique aspect
of the film is that Singer uses the previous Superman films as a loose
background for the new film. He
feels that people already have some pre-conceived ideas about Superman,
mainly from the past movies, and he considers those when attempting to
script the new movies.
