Superman Returns

[modage]

Superman/Wonderwoman: 'Turncoat' is back again with more on two DC Comic adaptations long in development over at Warner Bros - some old rumours confirmed/denied, along with some new ones brought up. "Superman" - "Still trying to find a cast [flash forward to Thanksgiving 2009...still casting]. As with Superman, there is about 5 candidates for the Lois Lane role at the moment. They are: Selma Blair ("Hellboy"), McG's friend Drew Barrymore, Claire Forlani ("The Medallion"), "Friends" starlet Courteney Cox, and "Buffy"/"Angel" babe Charisma Carpenter. I think they might be looking at Sydney for the shoot [this week]". "Wonder Woman" - "I think there's some movement which seems to be coming along nicely with Joel Silver still doing it and "Birds of Prey" creator Laeta Kalogridis penning. Early rumors of Sandra Bullock being roped into it again, also heard names like Ashley Scott and Eliza Duskhu as potential WW's. They're writing it really dark, and not campy, something along the lines of Batman and the new Catwoman. A 'name' male will co-star [they need a new franchise ...Catwoman sounds like it doesn't have the whiskers]". There's also some further Supes rumours up at AICN, more stuff about Brendan Fraser and talk of shooting in Sydney. With the film not heading out till about 2006, all this location talk is just that - talk. With US film production in Australia in the near future looking the bleakest it has been in years (about the only feature shooting here in the next few months is the Mask sequel), the room is available for the project but all this premature speculation may in fact harm the chances of it ending up Down Under.

Superman: The Wachowski Brothers are rumoured to be linked to the Supes project and might be penning a new draft.

I like that. They are better when dealing with fluff (Bound) than something that can be raped into thinking it has "higher meaning". Superman is as fluff as you get with superheroes.

can i get a whoa?

as long as Keanu isn't Superman, I'm cool with that.  (fuck you GT, Superman is important shit)

[Ghostboy]

I suddenly realize that the Wachowskis are perfect for Superman, although they're going to have trouble topping themselves.

Haha. I can't take that serious.

I keep thinking about this, and I'm not quite sure what you mean.  Could you elaborate?

[Ghostboy]

Think about it some more once you've seen Revolutions.

Although Dark Horizons reported today that there's no truth to the rumor of their involvment. But if WB is smart, they'll convince them to do it.

Superman Punk'd? Jan. 19, 2004

Source: Superman-V.com  by: Jim Law


Everything seems to be falling into place for a new SUPERMAN movie. The sweet website, Superman-V.com has all but officially announced that the new Man of Steel production will be moving to the Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia as soon as they're done with the filming of STEALTH. Click here for the entire article. Things are to start rolling in about three months, which would mean they might want some sort of a cast for director McG. That brings us to the true meaning of this story. Selma Blair has recently stated that she's "this close" to landing a key role in the new movie which probably means she's got her eyes on playing Lois Lane. Now for the funny. Ashton Kutcher has apparently thrown himself back into the mix for the role of Clark Kent/Superman. If this should even be considered, Ashton should start working out 13 years ago. This is like picking Calista Flockhart to play the lead in a movie about the life and times of Andre The Giant. I understand that with the right mix of steroids and latex muscles, we migh be able to see Ashton fill out the traditional blue and red spandex but how are we supposed to picture this guy as, arguably, the greatest superhero in history when nobody's even seen him with his hair combed?  I like Ashton Kutcher for the way he made so many celebrities look like idiots on his MTV show, Punk'd, but Superman he's not. Maybe THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT will change my mind, then again, maybe not.

More Casting Rumors
joblo.com


You know that saying, don't shoot the messenger? Well in this instance, don't even talk to me. More rumors are starting to surface about casting for the next SUPERMAN movie and if you thought the one about Ashton Kutcher was funny, read on. Beyonce Knowles is the front runner for the role of Lois Lane and Johnny Depp is being highly considered for super-villain Lex Luthor. What does all this mean? It means the makers of this doomed production are trying anything in their power to build up some hype for a franchise that has been stuck in the mud since producer Jon Peters started opening his mouth. These "sources" I've been reading about are saying these are the actors the studio wants. Well, I want Ashley Judd to stop by at my birthday party in leather chaps and chew tobacco with me. Does that mean I should shine up the spittoon and ask the wife to go shopping? No. The question here is not whether Depp can pull off playing Luthor (the guy could play Jimmy Olsen, Lana Lang, and a piece of Kryptonite and still steal every f*cking scene in this movie), or if Beyonce will sing all of her lines into the camera with back-up dancers. The question is, why would the studio screw around with such iconic characters? And, why would Depp want to do this?

The 1978 Superman should still be considered one of, if not, the greatest comic book movies ever made. They too found some big names in Gene Hackman and Marlon Brando but to their defense, both actors were established in their art. While Depp might fit into this category, Kutcher and Knowles are just MTV eye candy thrown in to try and score popularity points. If these rumors have any sort of truth to them, and McG is still directing, get ready for a full blown, epic fan-boy revolt
