More Superman roles, great cast, very expensive
So the cast for Superman Returns is looking quite expensive
Kevin Spacey: Lex Luther Jude Law: General Zod Kevin Bacon: John Corbin/Metallo Daniel Day Lewis: Superman's Dad Famke Janssen: Superman's Mum And that's not even mentioning Superman, Lois Lane or the other 2 which I asume will come back with Zod. Jesus the cast alone could top £100,000,000 THE OPTIMISTS! 'Seeing the light in bad booking' Current members: Dave Youell Alienoid06 Impact! The Optimist And our newest member: Helmsphere ![]() |

Are Daniel Day Lewis and Famke Jansen playing Jor-El and Lara or the Kents? Because I'm trying to picture them as the Kents, and it's coming out all wrong. I can't seem them as Kansas type folk.

The other two don't necessarily need to come back with Zod. They didn't when Zod most recently appeared in the comics.

There isn't anything on SuperHeroHype about this (which is THE place to go if you want news on superhero movies), but I'm still excited about the movie. Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor =

It was one of the conditions of Singer directing that they follow in the steps of the old films and use an unknown as Superman, which to be fair is probably a good call, a decent well known leading man could cost £20,000,000 and IMO the superman brand name alone is enough to carry this movie. |

If anyone here has any connection at all to Brian Singer, you can deliver this message to him.
"YOU SUCK" I would seriously like to rip Singer's balls off for what he's doing. First off, he pretty much gives the finger to Fox and heads off to do Superman. He then proceeds to get one of the worst casts(I've seen worse choices) for Superman. I don't know about Brandon Routh's acting, but he's NOT Superman. You show me any kind of picture of Superman, and tell me that Routh looks anything like the part. Second, now Singer's trying to bring in all these people from X-Men. Fuck you, Singer. Go off and do X3, because we know it will all be about Magneto anyway. Singer, Routh is not Superman, Bosworth is not Lois, and Spacey is not Luthor. I have no problem with Spacey, as he is a great actor, but I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Studios ARE stupid enough to cast someone for Lex Luthor just because they're bald. I could go on and on, but those are my general feelings towards Bryan Singer's "Superman" movie. So... Fuck you, Bryan Singer. Fuck you, Warner Bros. Fuck you, Jon Peters. Fuck you, Kevin Smith(nothing to do with this, but he's worth mentioning). And finally, Fuck You, Superman Returns. |

Seriously. Wait until yousee the movie to bash it. Even if you think it has the worst cast it could turn out to be pretty damn good.
So I say to you.... KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!! Last edited by Gouda; 02-20-2005 at 02:56 PM. |

Although I'm not taking it as personal as Blackdawn is, I have to agree with his disappointment in the casting.
Clark Kent and Lois Lane are not supposed to be teenagers. Christopher Reeves and Margot Kidder were at least in their early 30's when they did the original Superman, the way it should be done. I don't want to see some 25 year old kid playing the Man of Steel. Keyword: MAN. But whatever. We'll see what happens. |

So I take comic book films seriously? Big deal.
I've been reading comic books my entire life. I feel that if you're going do adapt a comic to film, do it right and with the right actors. I just get a little pissed off when one of my favorite characters is being done so poorly. |

It's not just the actors. There's also the horrid script rumors I've been reading. Plus, I'm just not impressed with Singer anyway. He's never really done anything that I enjoy, and I don't really think he's that good of a director.

What horrid script rumours have you heard? As far as I know Superman has left Earth for a while and then returns when Zod shows up, Kent comes back big battles and then he'll get it on with Miss Lane. And if you hate the cast so much please by all means come up with a better one, I for one think Spacey and Law are perfect in there roles |

I'll admit the script sounds pretty lame, but who knows... they could pull it off. If they give him that gay costume posted in that other thread I'll be super pissed though.
As for Bryan Singer... I liked X2. The first one wasn't anything special. |

Gotta agree with that statement.
If this is supposedly Superman V, then how the fuck does he disappear for a few years and come back looking 10 years younger, and Lois Lane much hotter and younger as well. Stupid casting, in my opinion. If they're doing it with younger actors, don't try and pick up where Superman IV left off. Start all over again, and we'll leave Superman I and II as Christopher Reeve's legendary trademarks in the business... and we'll forget III and IV ever happened, because they sucked ass. Somewhate off topic, has anyone read the Superman/Doomsday saga. Superman fights this incredibly strong monster named Doomsday, they both die, Superman is buried and then new super heroes start popping up out of nowhere: Supergirl, The Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton, Mechanical Superman, and Superboy. Then the real Superman comes back, kills the Last Son of Krypton and Mechanical Superman, and lives happily ever after with Lois Lane. I thought it would make a great movie, although Supergirl and Superboy should be cut out in the film version. |

He didn't kill The Eradicator (Last Son of Krypton).
But if they did do that movie they could get Shaq to play Steel again! ![]() Seriously though, I don't know why they just don't do direct from comic adaptations for super hero movies. I mean, some of the stories are great and would look awesome on the screen. |

The GoldenEye chick will not be in Superman, she turned down the role to continue on to X3. Shawn Ashmore as also turned down what would've been his second appearance in a Superman project (he was Superboy in Smallville). Filiming starts in two weeks and there's talk of Tom Welling being cast as Superman in the last second. That would be very stupid, as it would spit on continuity. Tom in 5 years, yeah. Now, no. Let's give this new guy a chance shall we. The same chance we gave Hugh Jackman.

I don't think this Superman V will be the follow on from 2, it's possible that Zod just floated back to earth after 4 right?
