I know it's hard to blame the time, but there's a bit of an expectation for a summer movie. I think that 'Superman Returns' was a bit nostalgic and romantic, and I don't think that was what people were expecting, especially in the summer.

In June 2002 filming began on X2 in Canada with Singer again directing this time from a screenplay written by David Hayter Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty. FOX then lost interest in Galactica and Studios USA took the project to the Sci Fi Channel and a different production team. The one-hour dramatic comedy to be written by Fuller and directed by Singer will focus on the inner workings of a fictional home shopping network according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Singer won critical acclaim for his work on The Usual Suspects and is especially well-known among fans of the science fiction and superhero genres for his work on the X-Men films and Superman Returns. Bryan Jay Singer (born September 17 1965) is an American film director writer and producer.
