Superman
 

Anyone heard about the new Superman movie? I can't say for sure the rumors are true but I have the feeling it will be made. (I'm serious)

oh yeh i think it

damnit. i got it switched with batman. jude law or whoever that trendy new guy is is gona be batman. ok its not jude law.. shit.

anyway i was looking forward to NIcolas cage being superman LOL but that didnt work out :(

Yesterday we reported that it was rumored that Brandon Routh had been cast as Superman in the upcoming Superman movie, and it has now been confirmed.

Routh has not starred in a feature film and has had only guest recurring roles. Director Bryan Singer, however, has repeatedly stated that he would like an unknown actor in the role.

Meanwhile, screenwriter Dan Harris has told The Chicago Sun-Times that the script, tentatively titled Superman Returns, will follow events from the Christopher Reeve movies.

"He'll begin in his late 20s. He lost his powers in Superman 2 and now he has the powers back. But something has happened because he's been away for a long time. We're taking off from the first two Superman films with Christopher Reeve. We use his history and then move on with big twists and great special effects."

Harris also revealed that he wanted to have had Christopher Reeve involved in some capacity. "It would have been so nice to have Chris be a part of the new film as an adviser. Who knows what his title would have been, but we know Chris would have loved being involved. Being Superman meant so much to him."

I think they can really make it better this time around. The technology made the series a bit cheesy at the time. I am looking forward to this one. But the new actor doesn't have Reeves' charisma.

well, I haven't seen Routh in anything so I don't know. But he hasn't been in any major movies, only bit parts and TV stuff, so who knows

i actually prefer that they pick an unknown to play the part. i mean come on, the guy is stepping in as fuckin REEVE. i have faith in him.

and yeh, the old stuff was sick but of course didnt look as good as it could. that not to say they wont completely over do it tho. but it sunds like they really want to make it live up to the old ones.

cage would have did a great job as superman. they would have to cgi some more muscle on his skinny ole turkey neck though

i think so too, but it is really weird having someone replac reeve, whether when when he was alive, able bodied or not.

i dont think cage is so skinny tho. didnt u see him in con air? WOOOOOOOOO! he bulks up quite nicely!

Damn, it won't be Ashton Kutcher. :p

I heard on the radio here in Australia that they were filming it (or part of it) here in Sydney, starting next month!

If this is true it will be good to have another big budget movie filmed here. Sydney scrubs up well in movies.

It was pretty cool when the matrix was released to see buildings in the background (when they are on rooftops etc) that I have worked at.

^^ pretty fuckin cool

hmmmm.. a few years ago 'bring it on' was partly filmed at my high school??? i guess thats pretty cool.................

not. LOL

Hehe. I don't know... Bring It On was ok in a preppy kind of way. ;)

Is it also the same school the outside shots of Buffy were filmed at?? Looks similar to me.

dont think so. i woulda heard about it. all i know is the lockers got a fresh coat of paint for the movie

never saw it though. not really my type of flick

at least it had Eliza Dushku in it. In a cheerleader outfit, too *fap fap fap*:D

Your gonna go blind . *hands Sam some kleenex*

I'm glad their using an unknown actor. Much like Christopher Reeve was when he took the part.

After over 10 years of crappy scripts that included such things as kung fu superman and Luthor being an alien. Finally Bryan Singer has turned this thing around and now its looking really promising, much like Batman Begins, he's casting an unknown, he's using John Williams score, and he's making this movie with the love and care that he put into the X-Men movies. I salute this guy!

And the rumors of Kevin Spacey has Lex Luthor is quite excellent, I can definetely see him playing Lex.

Ya! Ive never even heared of Christian Bale:rolleyes:

that came out wrong. but now that you mention it...Bale is not a big name star or anything, although he's been in a couple of pictures to get a decent release, he's not Keaton or Clooney.

LMFAO!!!!

how is that funny?

Fuck off.

your a real thinking man aren't ya... :rolleyes:

Sure, and your a real working girl, aren't ya?:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Nic Cage woulda blew chunks as Supes. Not even counting how he looks and his MASSIVE hair loss (no spit curl for that fella) has anyone thought about his voice? He sounds like he's always got this bad cold and can't breathe thru his nose. Not too super.
And this new guy....he's a soap opera actor for crissakes! I dunno, could be bad....really really bad. But who knows, I've never seen the cat act so maybe he's a badass and we'll all be surprised.
I hope it doesn't suck.
