Tim Burton says his Superman movie being scrapped will affect him for the rest of his life

Tim Burton has talked about his scrapped Superman film – and though it doesn't sound like he's particularly heartbroken over the project falling apart, he also doesn't seem to be letting it go anytime soon, either.
Burton's film, titled Superman Lives, was set to star Nicolas Cage as the Man of Steel, but was ultimately canned.
"No, I don't have regrets," Burton reflected in conversation with the BFI. "I will say this: when you work that long on a project and it doesn't happen, it affects you for the rest of your life. Because you get passionate about things, and each thing is an unknown journey, and it wasn't there yet. But it's one of those experiences that never leaves you, a little bit."
But, Superman Lives, erm, lives on in The Flash, which features a cameo from Cage as Supes himself. Burton, though, doesn't particularly seem to be a fan of the moment. "But also it goes into another AI thing, and this is why I think I'm over it with the studio," he commented. "They can take what you did, Batman or whatever, and culturally misappropriate it, or whatever you want to call it. Even though you're a slave of Disney or Warner Brothers, they can do whatever they want. So, in my latter years of life, I’m in quiet revolt against all this."
Cage recently spoke out about the cancelled film, too. “What I want to go on record with is: Tim Burton did not cast me. I cast Tim Burton," he said. "They wanted Renny Harlin, and he's a nice guy and perfectly capable. But for me, the vision I had for Kal-El was more of a Tim Burton-style presentation universe."

Should You Play Detective Pikachu Returns Before The First Game?
Playing the first game before seems like the natural step, as the new Nintendo Switch title is a sequel to the original one. Nevertheless, that can be quite complicated, as the previous game was released for a previous generation of consoles. While ’s release is on the Nintendo Switch, the first came out in 2016 for the Nintendo 3DS. As such, access to it at this point can be somewhat difficult.

Epic Games Store Boss Sergiy Galyonkin Leaves, Says Epic 5.0 is “Not a Good Fit” for Him
After years of Fortnite-fueled relative stability, it seems a shakeup has come to Epic Games. Last week, we heard Epic was laying off nearly 900 employees, with company CEO Tim Sweeny admitting the company has been “spending way more money than we earn” for some time now. It seems whatever transition Epic Games is going through may affect one of the most divisive parts of their business – the Epic Games Store – as today Sergiy Galyonkin announced he was leaving the company.
