[Pickle-El]

After rumor upon rumor posted online about Warner Bros.’ reintroduction of the next “Superman” movie franchise, and just who will be playing the part of the Man of Steel himself, LatinoReview can now put to rest the biggest rumor of all… Just who is “Superman”?

Director Bryan Singer had recently mentioned to AICN that he is committed to casting an unknown. Thanks to our same source 'Anonymous,' who has given us the ‘firsts’ on castings on Fantastic Four, and Batman Begins, we now have info on Superman.

The man who Singer has picked to play Clark Kent/Superman is none other than a relatively unknown actor by the name of Brandon Routh (Seen here in the photo to the right dressed in his own Superman outfit on Halloween last year).

Brandon's name has appeared on the web as being a possible contender a few month’s ago, but most recently appeared on this Iowa based TV website. Click HERE for that.

According to stats posted at IMDB, Brandon ‘B.J.’ Routh stands at 6’ 2” and just days ago celebrated his 25th Birthday on October 9th. Sadly, this is the same day that “our” Superman Christopher Reeve died so recently. And Routh was born in Iowa, which is the same state that George Reeves was born, the original silver screen Superman star.

Routh had some bit parts in television roles on “One Life to Live,” “Gilmore Girls,” “Will & Grace,” and “Cold Case,” and recently wrapped his first film role in an indie titled “Deadly,” starring alongside Laura Prepon, Misha Collins, and Tess Harper. The actor’s next role will have him undoubtedly put to the test as he has some very big red boots to fill.

And as for Bryan Singer, come June 2006, he will have to make all Superman Fans believe that this kid from Iowa can fly. But if you can recall back when Singer was just starting the now hugely successful “X-Men” movie franchise, he had bet the farm on a then relatively unknown Aussie named Hugh.

Official announcement is forthcoming but you can take this scoop to the bank, Brandon James Routh is Superman!!!

And don’t even bother e-mailing me for any more possible castings or storyline revelations. I don’t want my ass thrown into the Phantom Zone.

[Wilde]

Please don't be true!!!!

[Pickle-El]

If this is true......I don't mind....

[The Sage]

Thank f****ing God it's not JC!!!!!!!!!!!!



That's very mature Batgirl...:rolleyes::D

Can this be confirmed?

[Wilde]

He is not a terrible choice, but there are so many others who are MUCH better choices!

[Pickle-El]

[The Sage]

If this is true......I don't mind....

Same here. In fact, I was a supporter of Routh when his name came up a long time ago.

[The Nose Goblin]

Hmm....not sure how I feel about this.

[Zorex]

could this truly be it?

Here is my Brandon Routh manip I made a while back:

[IT is Batgirl]

Good thing I've only seen him on "Cold Case."

p.s. I left a message at his official forum regarding this news. I wonder how/if he will reply.

[JekzStar]

Yep read that as well, just as i was going to disconnect from the net, i said stuff it nothing new on Superherohype so i just said i check Latinoreview before i go offline and wham.

Must say it's best Superman is an unknown, allmost had to be in my books.

Now they need to cast the rest of them, Lois Lane must go to Rose Byrne.
Lex Luthor not sure i heard names such as Vin Diesel, Bruce Willlis, Billy Zane not sure really.

I like to see Adrian Brody as Jimmy allmost a perfect.

Lets get this thing cause as much as i love Batman and i do, Superman must get made and it's in good hands of Singer.

[The Sage]

If he is the guy, then definitely Rose Byrne for Lois Lane, and Zane for Lex.

[IT is Batgirl]

I still think this image is pretty good. He has a mature-looking face. Eerie resemblance to Reeve (RIP).

[Sverdlovski]

Routh looks good. Young but mature.

Well, Scott did say "a combination of Reeve and the comics..."

[Pickle-El]

Well, Scott did say "a combination of Reeve and the comics..."

Where did he say this?

[The Sage]

Where did he say this?

He had visited the Welling thread in the beginning of the week.

[Pickle-El]

http://www.tvtome.com/images/people/84/8/75-1496.jpg

[Sverdlovski]

People said the guy wasn't even an actor, but Routh is.

[The Sage]

http://www.tvtome.com/images/people/84/8/75-1496.jpg

I can see it. I've seen a better pic that had me going whoa at one point.

[rdh007]

This is almost worse than JC, maybe moreso. This guy got kicked off One Life To Live because his acting was so weak. That's worse than getting lectured by Tony Soprano...oh, nevermind.

[The Sage]

http://www.superman-v.com/news/images/brandonrouth.jpg

Here's the better one, IMO.

[The Sage]

He got kicked off? Seriously?

[IT is Batgirl]

This is almost worse than JC, maybe moreso. This guy got kicked off One Life To Live because his acting was so weak. That's worse than getting lectured by Tony Soprano...oh, nevermind.

Never said it was because of his acting. ABC actually asked him to work for four hours, and then told him he was let go. He said it was ok, that he had gained much.

[darkzombiemutt]

hmm, im not sure how i think of him, he makes a great Clark....but I'm not so sure how he'd look as Superman.

[hammy]

Hmm....not sure how I feel about this.
:up:
I want to keep an open mind, but I don't know enough about him. I can already tell I'm not sold on him. Time will tell...

Wish I knew if it were true.

[Sverdlovski]

I like his looks. Hope he can act. One thing concerns me: he tested during McG's era and McG didn't like him enough... :o

[Wilde]

Here are some good pictures of Routh:

[tamron]

He looks kinda like Josh Hartnett in this pic:
http://www.brandonrouth.tv/Thumbnails/Me3.jpg

[rdh007]

He got kicked off? Seriously?

Batgirl is right. They let him go in a crappy way. My wife watches the show, and when I told her he was up for this, she laughed. The character was re-cast, so it wasn't a script thing. He simply couldn't pull off being a stalker. Maybe that means all he can do is play a boy scout, but I doubt it.

[rdh007]

I like his looks. Hope he can act. One thing concerns me: he tested during McG's era and McG didn't like him enough... :o

If they really are going this young, all I can say is Cavill for Kal-El!

[The Sage]

hmm, im not sure how i think of him, he makes a great Clark....but I'm not so sure how he'd look as Superman.

Ironically, I said the same thing about a certain someone else...;)

Err, Routh just turned 25 on October 9.

[Wilde]

Yeah, I think he looks a little bit too young.

[Tomwelling4sups]

he would be okay....i'm still pulling for welling, but he would be ok :up:

[Sverdlovski]

Not Cavill... Cavill is very young... Routh is young, but has a mature look.

[hammy]

Well, I've never been good at being politically correct, so I'll ask it. Anyone know if he's gay, by any chance? :)

[murp27]

Hey, if Singer cast this guy I'm all for it. I'm definitely willing to give him a chance. Let's get the cameras rolling :)

[IT is Batgirl]

Yeah, I think he looks a little bit too young.

He looks like how Reeve did in the Supes screentest. All that's required for Routh is some eyebrow tweezing and some muscle gain, and a change in hairstyle.

[The Sage]

Hey, if Singer cast this guy I'm all for it. I'm definitely willing to give him a chance. Let's get the cameras rolling :)

Good point. Singer's no idiot. Like I said in terms of Welling, if Singer casts the guy, then he must see something.

[IT is Batgirl]

Well, I've never been good at being politically correct, so I'll ask it. Anyone know if he's gay, by any chance? :)

Err, no idea? There isn't much on him. Let me go find his online chat if he says anything about romance.

[Sverdlovski]

Good point. Singer's no idiot. Like I said in terms of Welling, if Singer casts the guy, then he must see something.And it proves that McG is an idiot... :o

[darkzombiemutt]

Ironically, I said the same thing about a certain someone else...;)

**wildly shaking fist at you**

lol

[rdh007]

He wasn't replaced, the character was removed. I'm sorry. That still makes you wonder.

[Batman]

just so they FINALLY cast someone.........geez,the last person who was casted as Superman(Welling doesnt count,since hes only Clark Kent) was Nicholas Cage.:eek:

now after seeing Routh,I can say that he has the look.If hes really been casted,then he was casted for a reason.as the column says,Singer casted a certain unknown Aussie to play Wolverine in X-men,and look how that turned out.:)

if this guy really is the next Hugh Jackman,then all i have to say is....


ZANE FOR LUTHOR



however,I still have hope that Cavill or Caviezel will be cast,and this is just another false rumor.but if not,then this guys alright.........

:supes:

[The Sage]

And it proves that McG is an idiot... :o

NO COMMENT. :D

[hammy]

I'm almost afraid to believe this whole casting nightmare could actually be over.

If it's true, I missed my prediction by just a few days. :( I gotta go see who won.

[Batman]

He wasn't replaced, the character was removed. I'm sorry. That still makes you wonder.

when was he removed?

[hammy]

If this is true, Orko is King, won. :)

[rdh007]

when was he removed?

2001, I think.

[IT is Batgirl]

when was he removed?

March 21, 2002 I believe. He was really pissed about it. Said OLTL were really conniving.

[Superchan]

I find it hard to believe that out of the thousands of actors that they've tested for the role, this dude is the best they could come up with, I think I'll wait for an official conformation before I say anything else.

[JackBauer]

the guy looks too poolboy-ish for Superman, IMO...

[The Sage]

Poolboy-ish. That's new. LOL

[IT is Batgirl]

The pictures we've seen are several years old.

[Pickle-El]

so.....what does RyanRaine have to say about this?? :D

[hammy]

I find it hard to believe that out of the thousands of actors that they've tested for the role, this dude is the best they could come up with, I think I'll wait for an official conformation before I say anything else.
This is what I'm thinking. Maybe he'd be fine, but I'm not getting a great vibe from him. :(

I think I'd actually have preferred TW. :o

[hammy]

The pictures we've seen are several years old.
Oh, that's actually good to know. I thought they were recent.

[Batman]

March 21, 2002 I believe. He was really pissed about it. Said OLTL were really conniving.


then if he truly WAS booted cause of his acting,then he couldve improved by now....


Im torn,becuase half of me wants this to be true,so this casting war can be over.but on the other hand,I want Cavill and/or Caviezel to be given a chance....


this all depends on an announcement,either debunking or confirming Rouths involvement.....

[murp27]

After hair and makeup and the costume team swarm this guy, I think he'll look great.

Edit: If it's true, that is.

[JackBauer]

This is what I'm thinking. Maybe he'd be fine, but I'm not getting a great vibe from him. :(

totally agree on this one :up:

I think I'd actually have preferred TW. :o

now this one, on the other hand... :D

[DIRECTOR]

this looks like a combo of Ashton Kutcher and Josh Hartnett, two people that shouldn't be Supes at all

[The Sage]

this looks like a combo of Ashton Kutcher and Josh Hartnett, two people that shouldn't be Supes at all

I agree neither of those two should be Supes, but I disagree that Routh looks like them.

[Sverdlovski]

If he has to do a final screen test for the WB exects against Caviezel, Jimmy C. will tear him apart. But I think he's got a good look, and if he can act, he's fine by me.

[Batman]

I still would say to take this with a grain of salt.even if it is a reliable source,people can be wrong at times.

If he's casted...I hope the rumors of him not being able to act are untrue....and he has to do some SERIOUS bulking up.

I just wish this casting crap was over.

As long as its not Cavizel, Welling, Law, Cavill, Fraser, Kutcher, Hartnett, and anyone else thats been rumored or had their ass kissed by the fanboys I'll be fine

[IT is Batgirl]

He does look like he'll make a great Clark. It doesn't take much imagination to see him as Supes, if Latino Review is correct.

[JackBauer]

Orlando Jones, maybe?

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/touchstone_pictures/double_take/orlando_jones/doubletake.jpg

[Sverdlovski]

Batman has Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gay Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Ken Wantanabe, David Goyer and Christhopher Nolan...

Superman has Bryan Singer, Dan Harris and.... Brandon Routh? :(

[hammy]

Orlando Jones, maybe?

Nope. :p

[IT is Batgirl]

Routh was raised in the tiny town of Norwalk in Iowa, a state better knows for it’s
vast cornfields and tasty pork dishes than as a breeding ground for aspiring actors.
In fact, performing was not part of the up-and-comer’s initial career blueprint.
“It wasn’t my first thought,” he says. “I acted in high school plays and musicals, played
the trumpet and piano, and sang. I was going to the university of Iowa for writing.
I would have been a novelist.”


He can sing and play instruments.... Talented.

[Pdiddy]

well, if singer chooses him, i love it....cause that means he can act, which has been my only worry with regards to routh...

[The Sage]

Batman has Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gay Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Ken Wantanabe, David Goyer and Christhopher Nolan...

Superman has Bryan Singer, Dan Harris and.... Brandon Routh? :(

No, Singer has an Unknown. ;)

[Capt Throbberson]

Hmm... better than welling

[JackBauer]

Nope. :p

a little bit, doesn't he? :D

[Lone]

Isn't his friend the guy from The West Wing?

I seriously hope this is true...enough with all the casting threads...if Singer picked this guy then like many of you have said, there must be something that Singer saw.

In Singer I Trust.

[The Sage]

I've gotta tell you, if this is true, it'll be uncanny. Routh just celebrated his birthday on October 9th, sadly the same day as Reeve's passing. He was born in Iowa, same state George Reeves was born in. To add to that, he's 25, around the same age as Reeve was.

[IT is Batgirl]

Batman has Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gay Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Ken Wantanabe, David Goyer and Christhopher Nolan...

Superman has Bryan Singer, Dan Harris and.... Brandon Routh? :(

So what? How can you judge Routh? How do you know Singer won't cast established actors in other roles?

Oh, and Begins also has Rachel Holmes, if you want to play that game.

Holmes is a good actress, IMO.

[Sverdlovski]

Reeve was 24 when he gpt the role.....

[spiderdude624]

Hey, if Singer cast this guy I'm all for it. I'm definitely willing to give him a chance. Let's get the cameras rolling :)

exactly. singer knows what hes doing. if this is true, then thats cool. singer would not have cast him of he came in there and left a pile of crap. seems like a good choice to me.

[Boom]

Oh, and Begins also has Rachel Holmes, if you want to play that game.
This is a problem :confused:? By the way, it's Katie Holmes. Rachel is the name of her character.

As for Routh, I haven't seen any of his performances. So it wouldn't be fair for me to pass any judgement yet.

[JackBauer]

I've gotta tell you, if this is true, it'll be uncanny. Routh just celebrated his birthday on October 9th, sadly the same day as Reeve's passing. He was born in Iowa, same state George Reeves was born in. To add to that, he's 25, around the same age as Reeve was.

I believe Chris died on the 10th. Isn't that correct? I'd like to be correct.

[IT is Batgirl]

Hey, that's cheap shot. :(


Holmes is a good actress, IMO.

I know it was a cheap shot. I have no opinion on Katie Holmes. It's just that some would say that her name doesn't quite fit with the rest of the names in the movie.

[The Sage]

well, that's one hell of an omen...

Did I mention he's relatively unknown? :o

[Sverdlovski]

So what? How can you judge Routh? How do you know Singer won't cast established actors in other roles?

Am I judging him? No.

And it's Katie Holmes...:o

[Ceb-Man]

If it is true and Routh is Superman, so be it.
I trust Singer's vision of this film.

[DIRECTOR]

He doesn't have the build, and he looks too Jewish :P

You're right casey, my apologies.

The day before Reeve's passing. Still, uncanny...

True...

Doesn't have the build? Have you seen Reeve when he was tested? Or Bale when he tested?

Weren't Siegel and Shuster Jewish?

[Sverdlovski]

Reeve was 24 when he got the role...

[The Sage]

Reeve was 24 when he got the role...

And Routh is 25. Uncanny...

[hammy]

Weren't Siegel and Shuster Jewish?
Yes.

:P
he has thick eyebrows, that's all. And Bale had the body when he tested. But, Brandon doesn't have the chest that Welling has. And, sorry to say RIP, you can't compare the current Supes cast to Reeve today now

Halloween 2003:

This was my exact costume Halloween 2003.

Also, the guy is 6'2". If he is cast, that will take care of the height issue so many people are worrying about.

[Venom71]

I will have too say I see some Reeve in him in that Halloween picture. I won't be upset if this is true. I trust Singer! :supes: :up:

[Pdiddy]

there are 2 guys that i would be absolutely THRILLED if they were cast as supes....

1.) Tom Welling
2.) Brandon Routh (assuming he can act, which would seem to be true if he was cast)

[IT is Batgirl]

:P
he has thick eyebrows, that's all. And Bale had the body when he tested. But, Brandon doesn't have the chest that Welling has. And, sorry to say RIP, you can't compare the current Supes cast to Reeve today now

Like I said, tweeze his eyebrows, change his hair to make him look appropriate for the role.

And please stop talking about how skinny people are. There are places and people called gyms and personal trainers, respectively.

[Batman]

:P

Bale was skinny,fresh from his Machinist look when he tested.and Brandon can work out for the role.

[Pdiddy]

And please stop talking about how skinny people are. There are places and people called gyms and personal trainers, respectively.

yea, and routh looks like he has a bigger frame, so im VERY confident that he could fill out and get plenty big for the role

[rdh007]

well, if singer chooses him, i love it....cause that means he can act, which has been my only worry with regards to routh...

Agreed.

Im starting to like the idea of this guy more and more.but i need to see him act....

[Sverdlovski]

Can this guy at least equal Reeve's performance?

[IT is Batgirl]

Can this guy at least equal Reeve's performance?

I saw the episode of Cold Case he was in last year, and it was a very good episode. Cold Case casting directors are really good at casting actors. I personally don't remember him.

[Batman]

Can this guy at least equal Reeve's performance?

NO ONE could equal it.not Welling,Cavill,Routh,Law,Caviezel,Fraiser,ect.but they can try to be their OWN Superman,which could work just fine.

[darkzombiemutt]

He has a look i could really get used to. his eyebrows bothered me at first, but in reflection I could live with em.

[Pdiddy]

Can this guy at least equal Reeve's performance?

i mean come on, how the heck can we answer that?

all i know is, the guy has a great look...

and if singer wants him, im sold....i think he'd be great

[darkzombiemutt]

no to mention, he obviously likes Superman, since he went as him for halloween.

[IT is Batgirl]

He has a look i could really get used to. his eyebrows bothered me at first, but in reflection I could live with em.

I can tweeze them for him, lol. Make them thinner and have them start one pencil width away from the the nose bridge. That's it. Simple.

[The Sage]

Can this guy at least equal Reeve's performance?

Don't you think we'd have to see him as Superman to say that? ;)

[Lone]

Hmm..does anyone else remember Routh saying that he'd report back on his messageboard after auditioning to tell everyone his experience?

And he's been awfully quiet since then...

[Sverdlovski]

NO ONE could equal it.not Welling,Cavill,Routh,Law,Caviezel,Fraiser,ect.but they can try to be their OWN Superman,which could work just fine.
One could equal or surpass Reeve's performance, of course... my main concern about this guy is if he can act, because if he can, there you have a pretty good Superman!

[Pdiddy]

i think this definitely might be legit...i hope it is...

[The Sage]

i think this definitely might be legit...i hope it is...

I do too. I mean, I would like Caviezel, but as you know, I have been about an unknown for almost the beginning. And this guy has that look. In terms of his acting...can I say, in Singer we trust? :)

[IT is Batgirl]

Hmm..does anyone else remember Routh saying that he'd report back on his messageboard after auditioning to tell everyone his experience?

And he's been awfully quiet since then...

Yeah, he said he went back home for his grandmother's funeral.

I'm guessing his metting with Singer went well...

Here's the better one, IMO.



This is a very good picture! Based on this I could totally see Singer casting this guy. Some of the other new pictures that have been posted are very good as well. If he bulks up like reeve did (Thicker neck etc) then this is a very good choice. If Singer did cast him then I assume he can act. I wabnted Ryan or Henry but I could certainly buy into this choice. Hmmm? What's that scribbling noise I hear? Oh, I think it could be Mark Millar writing a check for $1000! :)

[Pdiddy]

I do too. I mean, I would like Caviezel, but as you know, I have been about an unknown for almost the beginning. And this guy has that look. In terms of his acting...can I say, in Singer we trust? :)

yup, thats exactly how i feel....

i mean obviously, i love welling....but i have always said a good unknown was my next choice....and to be honest, this guy is the only person i have seen that i INSTANTLY thought, "man he looks like superman"

and as far as acting goes, i think you hit the nail on the head....in singer we trust

[Pdiddy]

You should know better by now.

haha, excellent point...

IM CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Guard]

Hmm. A face from the past. I won't deny that he somewhat has the look (I'm sorry, but a ringer for Chris Reeve he is not), but that's as much as I see. I find this a little hard to believe. The main question, if he is indeed the new Clark Kent/Superman, is can he act? I don't mean "act well enough with help", I mean flat act. Anyone seen him act?

[Paradoxium]

When Scott said Singer had a top choice, and had a look that was a combo of the comic Superman and Reeve, I can confirm that top choice was not Brandon Routh. However, he was a known second choice, I have no idea why that top choice was sacked. A mini investigation will be conducted.

this is where you have to have faith in singer....

if this is true, and he is cast, that means singer picked him....

if singer picked him, then i am pretty sure he has the acting chops

I saw the episode of "Cold Case" he was in, but I can't remember him personally. However, the episode he was in was fantastic, and Cold Case casting directors are great at casting actors.

Also, if he can't act, then Singer won't choose him.

[Lone]

Nobody said he was a dead ringer for Chris Reeve, Guard...he resembles him in certain shots.

And come on, a lil optimism wouldn't hurt...we already have Bryan Singer directing this thing...isn't that supposed to put down a good portion of our fears?

Or would you rather have McG back?

If he knew BR was one of the candidates (he's saying that Singer had a 'top-5 list'), why didn't S-V report that, like they did with McG's final 6?

Thank f****ing God it's not JC!!!!!!!!!!!!

your kidding right? Brandon Routh??? On no!

[King Krypton]

Oh no, he cannot be Superman, he's not the first choice!!!!!!!!!

[sarcasm off]

Yeah. Chris Reeve was initially avoided like the plague by Donner and the Salkinds, and was only cast under duress. He seemed to make out fine. ;)

If Routh was the second choice, and he's got the part, then he had things better than Reeve did when they were casting in the '70s.

Well if you can tell us that Routh was the second choice, then you should be able to tell us who the # 1 choice is/was!

Don't ask me too much about the recent list or stuff I just had a little chat and found this out. Thought you guys should know. No one is forcing this down on you, if you don't want to believe it, by all means go a head. I am not going to try to convince anyone, I learned my lesson after that McG thing.

According to Scott, a former model trying to be an actor (not Welling! :D)...

I seem to remember the casting director saying they put his picture at the bottom of the pile everytime he put it in front of them...

[Dark Knight]

He is not a terrible choice, but there are so many others who are MUCH better choices!


Exactly!!! Bailey, Caviezel, Cavill, and even Welling! Ugh......

Close enough. Reeves nose was a tad slimmer but the structure is very similar. Routh has a very Strong jawline. He is a good choice. Who knows perhaps great?!

[Dark Knight]

Yep read that as well, just as i was going to disconnect from the net, i said stuff it nothing new on Superherohype so i just said i check Latinoreview before i go offline and wham.

Must say it's best Superman is an unknown, allmost had to be in my books.

Now they need to cast the rest of them, Lois Lane must go to Rose Byrne.
Lex Luthor not sure i heard names such as Vin Diesel, Bruce Willlis, Billy Zane not sure really.

I like to see Adrian Brody as Jimmy allmost a perfect.

Lets get this thing cause as much as i love Batman and i do, Superman must get made and it's in good hands of Singer.


Wow.....your willing to except this guy as Super-MAN!!?? He looks like.."dude i'm gonna dress as Clark Kent and then wear a cool Superman T-Shirt underneath...whaddya think brooooo's..??" This choice is dangerous if this is truely happening.......ugh....

Coulda...Woulda...Shoulda ;)

[The Guard]

Thinking about reasons why Singer's number one choice would be someone with no experience, and for that someone to not be accepted has me a little worried. Because then it makes one wonder why Brandon Routh, who does have a decent look, and acting experience, would be Singer's number two choice behind someone who Scott claims has no experience whatsoever.

This also, for me, raises questions about why the casting would happen so early after we heard talk of "January" and "February", and that WB really wanted to sell Jim Caviezel as Superman and had just begun to do so. I think I'm going to wait for official confirmation on this. And I'd suggest you all do the same. Mark Millar did mention several PR stunts involving "unknowns" before 2005.

You don't need to be 36 years old to be Superman. Chris Reeve was 24 and he looked extremely mature for his young years. I can say the same for Routh. It's not hard to make Routh look slightly older if that's what's called for.

[Motown Marvel]

hey, if this is true...i'm all for it. i was never all for him like i was for caviezel, but he's always been a solid choice to me....hopefully we'll get some sort of confirmation soon.

Exactly...i think this must be part of some selling job....where they are throwing out feelers about his guy. I think this kid being cast as Supes would be a horrible mistake. Caviezel will run circles around him at least in the acting dept....and he looks to young.....especially for a story that is supposed to feature an established Superman and not a young one.

Could it be that THAT info was constructed out of huge piles of Horse Manure, fed to them by someone who's own info was second,third, perhaps fourth hand, and thus very far from the truth? We will have to wait and see if the Routh story is true first.

[Motown Marvel]

well, considering most of the potentials sign a contract for the film before doing a screentest (so if WB wants them, they can have them...or at least thats how i understand it works)...he could have signed for the role, and tested...but hes not necessarily singers final choice...but he IS signed, just like JC is. and latino review caught word that he is signed...

I heard the list of Five contender's. Singer's unkown five. Whilst in a chat with Dan who runs S-V. I told him NOT to post the information, as I wanted to check on it, and make sure first. I did, and got confirmation. However, Due to the events of Monday, I did not send any report's into Dan regarding the short list. Nor have I done any real digging itno the new film this week. It just doesn't feel right at this moment in time. The only thing i have done, is confirmed a few pices from various sources which where stuck in my to do list. Not investigated any new finding's.



if the list i recieved was a bunch of crap. And Singer's top choice was Routh all along, why then, did i not go along with what you all were saying, based on my remarks i made in the TW casting thread. Because, the comments i made in that thread where based on a unkown american former model. Who was last time i heard the front runner for the role. With Routh a secound choice. I will trype up my report on the 'five' and send it into Dan. Because, i have yet to confirm this story. This may all still be debunked. I doubt it, as it is a guy high up on the final list. But we'll see. The 'five' may still be a news item, and therefor i will NOT disclose any further information about it in a public forum. Until that time, Later

http://www.superman-v.com/news/images/brandonrouth.jpg

[Sverdlovski]

Scott, can you confirm this:

The source who informed me of Routh's casting a few hours ago (yes I was asleep, these are the days I want to kick myself), also has passed on some more juicy information exclusive here. The film starts off with Superman having been missing for six years. Also, the Kryptonian production design element will be almost identical to the first film - so expect Krypton and the Fortress of Solitude to be very much the slanted ice crystal motif we've all been used to.

Other casting has yet to be finalised it seems though I've been advised to lend credence to the Topher Grace (as Olsen) and Mischa Barton (as Lois) talk.

[skruloos]

Why would i waste my time? I find this story VERY hard to believe.....but if this guy is cast....then that would be a true travesty....
A travesty? Oh come on. It's not like we're picking an ambassador of peace to Mars or something.

You haven't seen him act. You've seen a bunch of modelling pics and clips of him from some TV stuff.

I saw Chris Reeve stuff pre-Superman and nothing in it indicated he would have been a great Superman. It worked then so why wouldn't it work now?

There's supposed to be a reason for picking an unknown. He doesn't bring any baggage and can just be judged by his performance. Instead, of course, we've got anal retentive fanboys who are disgruntled because they aren't casting directors and their choice isn't at the top of the list. Geez...it's not the end of the world.

He could be good. He could be the worst thing since Catwoman. At least give the guy a chance to prove himself.

[Sverdlovski]

If this is true, Superman would be like 36 years-old and Lois would be an anorexic teenager... :o

I've worked in theatre and have seen my own fair share of empty headed actors... Shallow actors usually aren't good actors, they just don't have enough going on internally to create interesting characters.

Singer's smart, so I doubt he'd cast a dummy. Or at least I hope not.

mischa barton SUCKS

Urgh. I'm a fan of the OC, for the most part, and I can't stand Mischa.. URGH! I dig the Routh, no problem them. But Mischa? Someone made a comment ...

Sverdlovski - Lois would be an anorexic teenager

True, so true.

[Sverdlovski]

How bad?
She's in The O.C. ........

[triplet]

I know, casey corrected me.
Yeah, I saw that later.... it was on the next page.

I'm older than Mischa Barton!! Lois can't be 18 or 19!! I hope this part is BS.

As to what i know about he set designs to be used. The original's are being used as a guide to the new set's. They will not be dusting off the set's from the original and re using them. They will be in the same vein, but not exactly the same. i made a comment about them in a thread on here awhile ago, may want to check it out.


As for the story, I did receieve story details for the new film. Details which, i'm not to sure on there authenticity at this moment in time. As I've heard contradicting report's from a more reliable source, a source close to the production. So I can't really comment on the story aspect at this time. I will once I recieve more 'solid' proof. ( to be fair the original details i recieved were from a treatment, and the more realiable source, gave me details from the screenplay. So We'll see )


Actors up for various roles, those are names that i've never heard before to be honest. Unless there recent. But i have not heard them. I do do that people are being tested for Lois. I know for a FACT of two females that have already gone under the knife so to speak of Singer ina screen test ( I'm not going to say who, check the site next week ). So we shall see. I am going to phone all my contacts over the next few day's, as i'm sure the other's will also, and I'd expect an update on the site to happne some time next week. Later

I'm proud of my vocabulary... I'm passing it onto my kids, too. My son always gets "He's got a great vocabulary." in the parent teacher conferences even if they don't have too much else positive to say...

Not sure how you can say he looks dumb. Most of the pics posted here are from modeling pics when he was 20 years old...

Routh can play the trumpet, and something else that i forget right now. And he wanted to be a novelist.

I like the OC...i HATE mischa....she isnt a good actress....and she is a sick looking anorexic annoying ******....god she better not be anywhere near this film

[JackBauer]

Mischa Barton sucks in The OC, but she was good in the movie Lost & Delirious...

[JackBauer]
