[explaining his "theory" of how he was commissioned to write for "Superman Reborn"]

Kevin:
Back in '96 and '97, when I was commissioned by Warner Brothers to write a script for a new Superman movie. And how it came about *I* think was that somewhat saw Mallrats and watched Brodie and T.S. talking about the Kryptonite condom and someone thought "This guy seems to know a lot about Superman." So I got called in for a meeting at Warner Bros.. They say, "We have three projects that you can rewrite." At this point, the script for Chasing Amy had started circulating. People were like, "He can write!" So they offered me some rewrite work. They said, "We have three projects." I said, "What are they?" "One is a remake of an Outer Limits episode entitled 'The Architects of Fear'. The other is 'Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian'." I was like, "Didn't we say all we needed to say with the first Beetlejuice? Must we go tropical?" And the third was a project called Superman Reborn. That's what interested me. I was like, "You guys are gonna make another Superman? I'd love to do that!" And they said, "Well, that's a long shot. I can't give you that right here in the room. That has to go through lots of people because it's a big franchise. " I said, "What do I have to do? Whose fucking dick do I need to suck to get this job?" And thankfully, he didn't say his.
