Movie's record costs
IT has taken steely resolve but finally Superman Returns is nearing the screen. But at what cost?
The revisioned Superman tale, filming at Sydney's Fox Studios, could well be the most expensive film of all time.
Variety reported its director Bryan Singer acknowledged its budget is approaching $326 million - that would top Titanic's $250 million and Waterworld's $225 million.

Amazing how expensive it is, but I guess they figure it will be one of the blockbusters for next summer. I for one can not wait for this movie to come out. (btw- can't wait for Tuesday either as Batman Begins is out).
