Bryan Singer to Exact Revenge in 'The Prisoners'?

Enjoy Valkyrie, how about Superman Returns (blech)? If your answer was yes, you'll be excited to learn that Bryan Singer is seriously considering getting his revenge on with The Prisoners, a much-sought-after thriller script to which Mark Wahlberg is attached to star as a Boston dad who takes the law into his own hands when his young daughter is kidnapped, reports EW. The screenplay, which has been compared to The Silence of the Lambs and Seven, has been buzzed about as a calling card for its unknown writer, Aaron Guzikowski, and as a rare project targeted at adult audiences but with real commercial potential. The screenplay has found its way into B-D's hands and those close to us have said the project is waaaaaaay overhyped.

I really dug The Usual Suspects and the first two X Men movies.

Bryan Singer has really been hit or miss for me. While I enjoyed The Usual Suspects and his take on the X-Men, I can't really say the same for Apt Pupil or Superman Returns. Valkyrie just looked boring as hell, and quite a departure for the guy who'd given us two of the better Marvel themed movies ever. Like I say quite often about my movies nowadays, I'll have to wait and see. It always makes me shiver when someone compares a movie to Seven or Silence of the Lambs... it's almost like the kiss of death; nothing (hell, not even the Silence sequels!) comes close to those two movies.

Sorry, but Bryan Singer's style does not even remotely remind me of David Fincher or Jonathan Demme. All we can hope is that like in the Usual Suspects, he gets enough good actors to cover his mediocre film making abilities.

mark wahlberg is an ass clown, and bryan singer ruined superman, but it could have been alot worse I suppose, but anyways it doesnt even measure up in the slightest way to the original superman movies, and i didnt care for the x men movies either, valkyrie and his other nazi movie apt pupil were good though

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch should get back together! They could tour with C&C music factory and Ace of Bass. Seriously though, Singer is a hack.
