Tom Welling as Superman

This is getting desperate. I'm sneaking on the computer at work just to see what's going in with this damn movie and the casting roller-coaster!

No solid news yet, I see. *sigh*

Well, seeing as how Emily would only label this movie as promising if Welling is casted Supes...I would guess that would be one of the things in the email. The other casting...involving Bats possibly?

Those are the only two she been really hearing about if memory serves me correct.

I got online just now and saw 3 pages of new posts since last night. I got excited and hoped that we finally had info if Welling was cast or not.

Those actors listed for testing are way too young.


Also, isn't Emijay from CD away for 2 weeks?

[KalKai]

She logged in once from the hotel, and she still keeps in touch with Rob via mail.

[Showtime]

where did you see that?

Oh yeah, now you want info. I see how it is. :cmad:

[AgentPat]

where did you see that?It's in the HR article:

Miller is seeing about four or five actors for the parts of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern and the Martian Manhunter, with a few overlaps. A few nonhero parts might be testing as well.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3ie1bcfaee594e25d9888f18a137c49bcdThe "few overlaps" part is intriguing. Hopefully, that explains it, so to speak.

[Showtime]

I don't get the overlapping thing, two actors doubling over from their roles to play The Flash and Batman, the masks concealing them?

OR

Are the talking Batman - Bruce Wayne, Superman-Clark Kent and being cute about it.

[The Incredible Hulk]

It's in the HR article:

The "few overlaps" part is intriguing. Hopefully, that explains it, so to speak.

I'm pretty sure that just means that certain actors are reading for multiple parts, similar to how during the Spider-man casting James Franco read for both Peter Parker and Harry Osborne.

....Robert is saying auditions are going on as I write this...

Sanchez:

They have been casting for a better part of a month and from what we are hearing that a few key roles have been cast and that this weekend's auditions were to see how potential cast members did with these other actors that are locked.

[ZIPBAGS]

So was Welling in LA this past weekend?? ;)

[Prison Mike]

so then Superman, Batman, and Wonderwoman were already cast and the young actors are auditioning for other roles? I can live with that just as long as Welling is SUperman!

[Showtime]

Well that just makes things complicated all over again, but clears up my direct question I guess. I hate JLA.

(fans) So Welling is Superman?
(the above) But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of person who would think Welling is Superman or not? Now, a clever exec would cast Welling, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for an unknown. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly must choose Welling. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose Welling.

This is not looking good at all..

Infamous_Emijayne: (http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=3147)

As Robert said...prepare for the worst folks.

Much like everyone else on the net, my vacation has been getting interrupted with random emails and calls about JLA. One would think this is good news since things got quiet. Well, no news was better in my opinion. The names on the list that hit the net are all wrong in my opinion. Too young. Too inexperienced. Certainly not good enough to be superheroes.

As it stands right now, multiple people have informed me that the front runners for the big 3 are Scott Porter as Superman, D.J. Cotrona as Batman, and Minka Kelly as Wonder Woman.

What happened to Welling? There will be an exclusive interview which myself or Robert will direct people to within the next 24 hours that will answer that.

Unfortunately, the studios did in fact leak varying degrees of false info to a number of people and we fell victim to this. I may still be a victim of this. What I do know for a fact is that Miller will be meeting with WB execs on Weds to present his cast choices and a press release will follow shortly after. So the official word is finally coming whether we all like it or not. I, personally, already know that if this newest info is the truth we have been holding our breath for, I will be waiting until network television to see this film. I'm thoroughly and completely disappointed by this news and would rather see Routh in tights again. And we all know how much I hated Superman Returns.

You can count out Brandon Routh and Tom Welling, George Miller is bringing his vision of Superman and his fellow super friends to his new Justice League film.

How does Scott Porter for Superman and DJ Cotrona for Batman sound? I know what you‘re saying…WHO? I had to google these guys myself. Scott Porter just finished up his role as Rex Racer in Speed Racer and DJ Cotrona is hot off of…nothing.

We have been hot on the trail of Justice League info recently calling everyone we know and trust for info. Early today, we heard that Brandon Routh, Singer’s Superman, was never offered or even considered for the role whatsoever. He wasn’t a thought on George Miller’s penguin infested mind. We’ve also learned that while in the early stages, WB execs had Tom Welling, Smallville’s Superman, on the brain and he is who they wanted BUT, and this is a big but, things changed when George Miller came aboard, he had all new ideas with how he wanted this cast to round out.

So again, Porter and Cotrona anyone? Yeah, this is sounding about as good as JJ Abrams Star Trek right now. Apparently, Porter has read for Superman and Miller reportedly loved him.

Now, are these guys cast? No, but they are leading contenders alongside Adam Brody for Flash and Minka Kelly for Wonder Woman.

Has there been a campaign of misinformation from the WB/DC side? Anything is possible with this recent news.

Along with the audition info posted last night on the trades, that confirmed IESB’s mention of Adam Brody, this is turning in a Romper Room League of America film rather than the Justice League that it should be. Not they aren’t old enough age wise, but they’ve all dipped into the “forever young” Hollywood facial and have the look of a couple of 16 year-olds.
Take it or leave it people, at this point, I think I am leaving it.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

She logged in once from the hotel, and she still keeps in touch with Rob via mail.

She must have gotten super happy news to do this on vacation time

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Minka for Wonder Woman ? Bleh Mary looks better then her for the part :o

[avidreader]

Well, I guess we can all live and hope that there will now be a Smallville Movie, and I say screw George Miller and his stupid cast. I dont care anymore. :( :down:

[Prison Mike]

She's good looking and has acting ability but she doesn't fit the role, IMO. I could definitely see Porter as Superman though. Same with what's his face for Batman. Still, though, these guys are just too young. I wanted Welling damn it! Damn you Miller!

[Thunder Emperor]

What the **** happened to WB
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh
That's it I am done with this ****. I guess they really never learn't from SR. Lord save me

[Thunder Emperor]

If this is how this is turning out I am nto watching this crap fest.

[Eddie Brock]

And this is why DC sucks at movies (with the exception of the current Batman franchise).

When does Iron Man come out again? :o

[Mike_D202]

Porter? Didnt he wanna play Green Lantern on Smallville?

[mellyM]

Wow, they suck, no way this movie is going to be good.

[Showtime]

So all this Welling info that was floating around since Miller was hired has been bogus.

[LastSon Kal-El]

That's it for me. I'll make sure not to view this thread any longer. I had such high hopes for this when it was first mentioned back in February. I'm starting to believe that WB/DC could care less about what true fans want. Let's just go with what happens to be hot (?) for the moment.

[Eddie Brock]

Considering that I don't know any of the "front-runners," I'm done with JL.

I think I always knew that it was doomed to fail. But now it's become reality.

[Serene]

THIS is going to be their TENTPOLE?

I could have handled some of those younger actors named if I knew that the big 3 roles were solid choices, but an entire cast of young, basically unknowns? Are there any fans they haven't alienated with these choices?

Yeah... good luck with that, Miller. Good luck. :rolleyes:

I guess we should wait for "official" word before we throw tomatoes, but this sounds pretty ominous.

:(

[Whiteflag]

Is this really going to be a movie about the JLA or about a school play with kids dressed as their favorite heroes?

[Prison Mike]

The thing that sucks is that WB wanted Welling but Miller was the one who had a different direction. It's all Miller's fault!

[Showtime]

So now everybody is going to blame Miller instead of Gough...

[Eddie Brock]

This, unfortunately, is my last post in this thread. Read the signature.

Goodbye. :down:o

[Whiteflag]

What's that I hear? The sound of Wellingites groaning? Porter is Superman. My condolences Wellingites :D

Condolences for what? For liking the most awesome Superman that's ever been on any screen? You should congratulate us!

[Paradoxium]

I can't say I am a big fan of the casting myself honestly. I dunno if anyone corroborated this, but Cotrona is like 5'9? Guy looks awfully skinny, and they plan to shoot in February or March? Not a lot of time bulk up.

[TWistim]

Having fun at the expense of others, are we?

Just "be careful not to wound what you cannot kill!" :oldrazz:
We "Wellingites" are very resilent.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

They might as well just do female versions of all heroes & that will get guys in seats :o

[musclesforsupes]

:csad: OH MY GOD!


I swear I am going to have a heartattack over all this. One min there is hope the next nope. Does big news mean good for Welling or what? If he doesnt get the part, I swear this will be bigger than the disappointment over SR and him not in that.

[KalKai]

Can't believe they left us hanging like this, what the hell are they waiting for? Taking too much time.

[Paradoxium]

Well Emily claims she was a victim of studio misinformation, while Sanchez was about to follow through with what Emily had to say, he pulled his article off claiming some other twist happened. This is like a TV show with a twist cliffhanger every bloody single time.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

This just in. Thousands of angry fans lined up outside WB headquarters in LA in light of this recent Justice League news. They are going to riot.

Having fun at the expense of others, are we?

Lovely, ain't it.
Just ignore it, TWistim. SO not worth it, trust me.

There are a lot of people just dying for this to fall through for us so they can be ***** about it. Meh.

Back to business... I really hope emijayne or Sanchez updates with this BIG news. Maybe it was all a ruse to throw everyone off? I can't imagine why they'd jerk the fans around like that, except to keep the buzz going?

Hey SB! ;) I wish you'd delurk more often.

I can't answer for Carol, (although, I'm pretty sure what her answer will be) but I can answer for myself.

Reeve was without a doubt the embodiment of *my* Superman back in the 1970's when the film was released and even in all the years following. I was there to see that film premiere, and I wasn't a little bitty kid either. :O

Tom is my Superman NOW, suit or no suit, tho' obviously, I would love to see him get the chance to wear it on the big screen and bring that same feeling of awe to other teenaged girls that Reeve gave me way back when.

Gotcha. I can't say I have a favorite Superman, though. I'm one of those rare people who likes all of them, except maybe Reeves and Alyn, just because I haven't seen enough, I guess.

Now now it's bad enough you never write or call, but to come in here and troll?

[The Joker_1000]

I know people may disagree but even though he hasn't actually worn the suit, I feel that Tom Welling is the best Superman ever. Whether he has the suit on or not, he is still Superman. Clark Kent is not Superman, Superman is Clark Kent & if people could recognize that, they'd see that Tom is the best Superman thus far.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Oh geez...I think we are all going to need stress tests soon.

[Kalleo]

Wow I went out of country for a bit and expected to come back and have news Tom would be playing Supes. Wow little did I know I would be in the same bout as I left. LOL

[superboy13]

Hm... I never thought that there were so many people who actually held Tom as the ultimate Superman. Cool.

[Paradoxium]

Now now it's bad enough you never write or call, but to come in here and troll?

Serious **** pains man, been eating too much burritos. :D

Honestly, I don't even know what to make of these casting news. Especially with Sanchez pulling the article at the 11th hour for no reason. Maybe the reaction got some of the upper brass to continue looking? Honestly, the way this film is so rushed, I am not sure it will do Welling's portrayal of Superman any favors. The question is, would you want Welling as Superman based on the trajectory of this film, or wait it out for a better circumstance?

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I think if this movie gets very bad fan reaction they will probably do the very last thing they can do with Superman. A Smallville movie.

Could he be up for The Flash? I could buy that more than Superman....

[Paradoxium]

The thing I don't understand, what the hell were all those kids auditioning for if Porter is trying out for the Flash? Maybe all the male actors from the Hollywood Reporter article are people auditioning for the Flash only. Actually that might make more sense, given the whole age thing.

In the movie isn't Flash supposed to be young with a crush on Wonder Woman ?

That said all the women in that list are fairly young too .....

You have to imagine that whilst there will be some unknowns or lesser known actors in this surely WB will want some star names or established actors to even it out ?

[Serene]

I'm friended with him on myspace, and aside from a lot of comments wishing him luck with the JL auditions, he hasn't said a word about it. His blogs are only about FNL and Speed Racer.

I still say he WANTS Green Lantern. That's the role he wrote the letter about that was in Wizard magazine.

You have to imagine that whilst there will be some unknowns or lesser known actors in this surely WB will want some star names or established actors to even it out ?Maybe these auditions deal with scenes/interactions between Wondy and Flash. I think that makes more sense. Considering the talk is that Miller likes to see if there is any chemistry between actors and actresses.

[Serene]

From emijayine posting on iesb.net:

I know it sucks, but I (and I'm sure Robert too) won't be adding to the casting rumors without being 100% sure about what we're told from here on. It appears we jumped the gun on things because so much was happening and I know I got caught up in the excitement which I apologize for. I have one source who in 18 months has never been wrong, not even once, and she contradicted almost everything I reported today, and did so after I posted it. Who's telling the truth? It's hard to say right now. So everyone will just have to sit tight until one of us gets solid confirmation that is basically written in stone. I wish I had better news.

I'm glad to hear that emi is really upfront about admitting when she's posted something that's completely wrong.

[Serene]

And more on countingdown.com from emijayne:

Okay...I know this isn't much and I wish I had better news, but a very solid source that I never thought in a million years would tell me anything has discounted much of what I reported. I apologize for that completely and take full responsibility for jumping the gun before confirming everything. However, the same stuff is being posted on a number of sites so I though it was legit.

Anyway, Scott for Superman, D.J. for Batman, and Minka for Wonder Woman appears to have been fabricated and just made up by someone trying to add fuel to the already raging fire on the net. They were at the auditions, but for what part I've gotten no word on yet. There was more to the conversation but off the record so I can't say anything.

From this point on, unless I personally get someone from WB, DC, or Miller's crew to confirm something that's passed to me in an email, I'm not posting it.

But never fear, JusticeLeagueOnFilm.com will be posting an interview that will answer some important questions that I'm not allowed to speak on.

[Showtime]

I am confused to all hell.

[Thunder Emperor]

What's that I hear? The sound of Wellingites groaning? Porter is Superman. My condolences Wellingites :D

That is not the half of it, look at the entire casting choices. My lord for a JL movie.

Okay.. wth? Not "allowed?" :confused:

[zerohour films]

even though it is dangerous to assume anything about this project--I would think the interview from justiceleagueonfilm.com is about Welling, considering their ties to Gough.

But who knows...

[The Incredible Hulk]

more from emijayne:


The reporter from that site is well respected and been in the business a long time. He got an interview. That's all I know. What it will say you'll have to read when he posts it.

All I can say about Welling is wait until the interview comes out and read it. I know that's a tease, but I can't say anything else here without breaking a promise. I hope everyone can respect that.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

So I guess that is good news :huh:

[Mike_D202]

He doesnt sound very excited, LOL

[OobeDoobBenubi]

What it will say you'll have to read when he posts it

That does not sound positive

[Prison Mike]

I think it's going to be bad news for Welling fans.

[KalKai]

If she gets too excited we'll know the answer, so staying calm & talking rationally is the best way not to reveal anything lol.

If this interview is so "exclusive" I'm guessing there'll be some pretty big revelations.

[Showtime]

I think it means that Welling didn't get the role, but it will give you concrete reasons behind it.

Question is who is the interview with?

[Prison Mike]

when will the interview be posted? Tonight? Tomorrow? When??!!!

[Mike_D202]

I think its safe to say that we'll never see Welling as SUPERMAN. Maybe for 5 seconds when the show ends.

[KalKai]

It doesn't mean anything, she can't reveal anything, she promised, full stop.

[Showtime]

When's the interview being posted?

[OobeDoobBenubi]

In 10,000 years

[KalKai]

I don't know.

Another thing to ponder on, if he has already conducted this interview why hasn't he posted anything yet?

Is he waiting for something?

[The Incredible Hulk]

I think it means that Welling didn't get the role, but it will give you concrete reasons behind it.

Question is who is the interview with?


You see, but that's what gets me. This is the same site that posted an interview with Al Gough saying Tom was never even approached so why another interview saying basically the same thing? :huh:

[OobeDoobBenubi]

This interview could also turn out to be a myth & we may never see it :wow:

[KalKai]

Because if it's with Gough again, he's obviously NOT going to say the same thing, but I'm thinking it's not Gough.

It could be Tom.

[avidreader]

Because if it's with Gough again, he's obviously NOT going to say the same thing, but I'm thinking it's not Gough.

It could be Tom.

I think I would faint on the spot, if that were to happen.

[zerohour films]

It could be that Gough wants to clear the air about his involvement with the whole JLA thing.

Maybe it consists of him saying "hey it wasn't my fault, it just didn't work out...now make sure you tune in for my new Supergirl series!"

[The Incredible Hulk]

It could be Tom.

there's a better chance of it being Christopher Reeve

[OobeDoobBenubi]

there's a better chance of it being Christopher Reeve

:wow:

[KalKai]

there's a better chance of it being Christopher Reeve

LOL.. no seriously, because if this guy is well respected in the business as they say (& as he says) I think he could have gotten a hold of Tom in one way or another, or someone that's very close to Tom & knows what's going on, apart from Gough.

JLA interview: John Edwards delivers messages to Warners from Christopher Reeve beyond the grave.

[AgentPat]

...The question is, would you want Welling as Superman based on the trajectory of this film, or wait it out for a better circumstance?Now that is the question I have been waiting to hear...Pat's answers:

A bird in the hand...
Tom Welling isn't getting any younger.
JL's Superman IS the role for him. SV got the ball rolling and audiences loved it. *I* loved it.
Tom Welling staring in Justice League is better than Tom Welling guest appearing in KaraVille.
Everything about JL sounds amazing - the director, producer, cinemaphotographer, FX house, story, and yes, even the timing (film unspools right after SV ends). Is there time to change this inane kiddy casting approach if true? Absolutely.
JL is happening NOW. While not completely out of the realm of possibility, a SV movie wouldn't happen for years, if it happens at all. And even if it does happen, think "Clark Kent" not "Superman," think low profile DTV, no name director, G&M script, and maybe a $30M budget, IF they're lucky. Yeah, my brain hurts from too much thinking too.
JL is a potential new franchise. If successful, it would lead to more films, and the actors cast would likely continue their respective roles. It is in fact, the whole point as I've come to understand the big picture. But maybe that was misinformation too, I dunno?
Having two Supermen was a gamble to begin with. It split the fan base of Superman fans in a way I don't think Warners could have imagined back in 2004. Now they want THREE? Pass the crack pipe please. :)
Final point, yes, it IS just a movie. Nobody is being forced to see it. But I have my doubts about how many people will *want* to see it given the horrendous cast Miller is allegedly pushing for. I certainly am not interested in Friday Night OC Justice League if that comes to pass. Is that what they really want to make? Is that how they want DC's flagship characters introduced to the public? Seriously?

G'luck and Godspeed, Warner Bros. I thought you had learned from BB, but I guess that was just a fluke. Oh well. [waves]

<- goes back into lurk mode until this nightmare ends with the dreaded casting announcement.

[The Incredible Hulk]

LOL.. no seriously, because if this guy is well respected in the business as they say (& as he says) I think he could have gotten a hold of Tom in one way or another, or someone that's very close to Tom & knows what's going on, apart from Gough.

I would highly doubt it. The guy does next to no interviews anymore. I'd be EXTREMELY shocked if this guy was able to score an interview with him.

That being said, I'm making my peace with the thought of Tom NOT being the JLA Superman. I highly doubt this interview will be good news in that regard.

[triplet]

But never fear, JusticeLeagueOnFilm.com will be posting an interview that will answer some important questions that I'm not allowed to speak on.

Okay.. wth? Not "allowed?" :confused:

I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off doing soccer mom stuff today when all I want to do is sit down and drink myself a beer.

*sigh*

Then, I come back on here to here yet more "nothing definite" and "things might be happening, but what those things are I can't say".

:confused:

I'm confused and hungry and need to go back out to get Mr. Triplet Jr. from band practice.

This has been a very long day and it doesn't look like it's over yet.

That being said, I'm making my peace with the thought of Tom NOT being the JLA Superman. I highly doubt this interview will be good news in that regard.

I'm thinking more along the lines of, him going up there in Vancouver, or an interview by phone.

He's been covering SV since the beginning, right? That's what he said at least.

Rob:

Got a call that Ryan Reynolds is out of the Justice League and like we mentioned earlier Brandon Routh was never even asked to be part of the film. All indications are that Welling is out even though there was some rumors saying otherwise.

George Miller has his own vision for the heroes and these actors will not be part of it.

Until I see an OFFICIAL press release from WB, Im not believing anything.

[ZIPBAGS]

This is another reason Marvel beats DC in the movie dept. They have Stan Lee & Avi Arad. Who are there to make sure their comic properties are adapted to the screen (mostly) faithfully.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

All of this will ultimately fall back on Robert

[triplet]

Bummer...

The WB bastards don't know how to make a comic book movie. It's why Marvel is kicking their asses in the box office and they produce stinkers like Catwoman and that movie that shall not be named.

Bastards.


You can't cast just anyone in such iconic roles, you got to cast the right someone and the rest of the pieces will fall into place.

*sigh*

I thought they might have learned something learned from SR's failure and BB's success but that would mean they actually had more than a couple of brain cells knocking around in between their ears. I guess that isn't the case, clearly.

[Gmanofsteel]

Hey George Miller...what rhymes with "Tuck Lou"?

:cmad:

I'll say it.

f.u.c.k. y.o.u!

[bootspark]

WB and Miller couldnt have asked for more perfect casting than Welling and Reynolds. The fans wanted them. And Reynolds publicly LOBBIED for the role.

WB just blew it. Every new rumor is incredibly BAD buzz for WB.

JLA with Welling and Reynolds and a smart and perfect cast for the other roles = the biggest film of 2009 and one of the highest grossing films in history.

JLA with YOUNG looking actors from the OC and FNL and Sky High = SR but WORSE.

I don't agree with that. Robert was pretty upfront through all of this about the things he was *hearing*. Anyone with a brain should have realized that none of this was confirmed and Robert wasn't claiming it was.

Personally, I'm glad he was sharing the information as he got it. We're fans, we live for this stuff - disappointing as it may ultimately turn out, as this seems to have done. :(

I didn't read that because it had spoilers...

Can you post just that part?

Milian, however, only came away with bruises from doing her own stunt work (including a car crash). She hopes her "Smallville" appearance will bring her to Miller's attention, but she wouldn't say whether she's had an audition of her own. "No comment!" she laughed. If Wonder Woman doesn't work out this time, though, "I'll do Catwoman any day."

Reminds me of when they screen-tested Beyonce for Lois Lane when McG was going to do Superman. Remember that rumor? :D

[04nbod]

Has Wonder Woman ever been depicted as a black character?

And more on countingdown.com from emijayne:

Okay...I know this isn't much and I wish I had better news, but a very solid source (George Miller) that I never thought in a million years would tell me anything has discounted much of what I reported....

From this point on, unless I personally get someone from WB, DC, or Miller's crew (aka, George Miller) to confirm something that's passed to me in an email, I'm not posting it.

But never fear, JusticeLeagueOnFilm.com will be posting an interview (with George Miller) that will answer some important questions that I'm not allowed to speak on.Rob:

Got a call (from Jayne) that Ryan Reynolds is out of the Justice League and like we mentioned earlier Brandon Routh was never even asked to be part of the film. All indications are that Welling is out even though there was some rumors saying otherwise.

George Miller has his own vision for the heroes and these actors will not be part of it.How does Sanchez know? Because George Miller is finally speaking up, though off the record for the time being. Guaranteed, the interview on JLoF will be with Miller. He's the only one that can believably answer the public's questions. His film is being trashed before it's even been formally announced (with good reason). Dollars to donuts, the announcement will happen at the same time his "interview" is posted.

At this point, I don't care anymore. No Welling? No Reynolds? No interest in pleasing fans, just a desire to make his own vision? Yeah. Okay. Warner Bros. are the biggest tools in Hollywood. Fox, Sony, Dreamworks, Disney etc. must ALL be laughing themselves silly right now.

Anyhoo, Transformers streets tomorrow! Something cool to look forward to. YAY!!! I can't wait! :wow: :up:

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Catwoman ? I guess she does not know how good that worked out for Halle freaking Berry.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Has Wonder Woman ever been depicted as a black character?

Nope

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Welcome to the Superhero Movie Business George. If you ignore fans then you will get bashed to hell. Enjoy your stay & break a leg. It will be nice to finally hear from George himself but that will mean nothing to the long time fans.

*sigh*

She's foolin' herself just like Kate Bosworth was foolin' her skinny self with that Lois Lane movie Singer was supposedly going to make with her.

:rolleyes:

:(

I'm black & I sure as hell don't want Wonder Woman to be black, it wouldn't feel right. I wouldn't mind having a black Superman though.

[AgentPat]

Well whatdaya know, the interview isn't with George Miller after all.

Meh. Here's me caring: :dry:

Right & piss off even more of the fan base when most wont get the casting of their choice. Yeah thatd be a bad decision & thankfully will never happen. Im not against it heck I like the movies Blankman & Meteor Man but somethings just should not be changed. I think its safe to say Superman will never be black in a Hollywood movie. Somethings you just dont change. We will have to agree to disagree on this.

[KalKai]

Indeed, I was expecting something entirely different. *yawns* :dry:

So he says they are not having Tom Welling in it but it would confuse & not having Brandon or Christian in it will still confuse people. That is a lame ass excuse.

[Serene]

Meh. Here's me caring: :dry:

VOICES FROM KRYPTON: And then there are all of those Internet rumors about Tom Welling being cast as Superman…
GREGORY NOVECK: Not happening, if for no other reason than it would just confuse the issue.


Oookay... well that sounds like it then.

Confuse the issue my ASS. :mad:

Done now. :dry:

[Gmanofsteel]

So let me get this straight . . . Casting Welling would "Confuse the issue" but casting a third Superman wouldn't? The WB is on Crack. Dumb asses.

[Thunder Emperor]

I am pissed and I am done with DC superhero movies other than BB. That sucks. WEll transformers get tomorrow, I am so pissed with he most useless cast ever known to man.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I guess thats it

No Tom

No Routh

No Bale

This movie will suck in the eyes of the fans & the fans will once again stop the WB from doing a Justice League sequel & a Smallville movie will be the WBs last resort to get Superman on peoples good side again.

[The Joker_1000]

As I've stated before, there'd be nothing with a black man as Superman as long as he looks the part & can act the part. Hell, there wouldn't be anything wrong with making most of the heroes we know black as long as the actor cast can act the part & looks the part a great deal. Race should not be important when casting.

[zerohour films]

So I guess the whole WB doesn't want 3 actors to have played Superman is out now.

man what a load of BS.

I am through checking up on this movie for now. Like many have said, not having TW really has brought my excitement level down. But at least now I can quit obsessing over the various sites to hear yay or nay and get back to the real world--man, I have alot of work to catch up on!

I will give the film a shot as long as the cast the scrape together seems good.

I just can't believe that after doing a worldwide search for an actor for SR and after the big search for Smallville that they would even attempt another casting call for that part.

oh well.......

[Gmanofsteel]

We should boycott all DC films until they start to get it right, that would teach em ;)

[triplet]

That's so lame.

:down

So, it's less confusing to have three supermen than two?

Bastards.

Its not about race its about not changing things just because people want change when things have always been one way. Im not having this back & fourth discussion with you. But Im sure if this movie is good to the general audience Tyler Perry will do his own version

[KalKai]

You know what, I don't think it's over yet. It won't be over until they officially announce the cast.

[zerohour films]

Honestly,
If they haven't learned after Batman & Robin and also Catwoman there is no hope.

[DvilDog]

Wow just wow this is the biggest pile of bull****. They went with this over MOS. I liked SR I would have rather had that. THe only reason i was behind this is because of Welling and Reynolds. Specatcular I will not go see this nor will i even bother to freaking bootleg it or dvd it. I might watch when it hits tbs in 4 years on saturday morning early at like 3 am. thank you WB George, and whoever else is at fault. I freaking quit. Ruin my freaking good day. I knew I should have stayed away again today like i have for the past 4 days

[Gmanofsteel]

That's so lame.

:down

So, it's less confusing to have three supermen than two?

Bastards.

you mean money grubbing, teenie bopper loving, crack smoking, bastards :D

[Prison Mike]

at least there won't be a 19 year old Superman...

[DvilDog]

Love your enthusiasm Kal but its over.

[triplet]

you mean money grubbing, teenie bopper loving, crack smoking, bastards :D

Yeah, them.

:mad:

*sigh*

Oh, well... we knew it might be a long shot but damn them all: they got our hopes up for no good reason.

The money grubbing, teenie bopper loving, crack smoking, bastards!

[OobeDoobBenubi]

You know what, I don't think it's over yet. It won't be over until they officially announce the cast.

I think most are going to be giving up & rightfully so. This whole Tom as Superman in Justice League has been going on all summer & filming starts in Febuary & fans are getting tired & annoyed of this. Ah well the general audience & kids should enjoy this.

[Prison Mike]

so will there be an official announcement of the cast by the end of the week?

[KalKai]

We will still keep hearing rumors & rumblings, I'm not so sure if that interview is going to silence anyone.

You should know better, these past few weeks/months we experienced that first hand.

[Prison Mike]

I just hope it ends soon and we get official word about the cast.

[Showtime]

So where does this leave the Tom Welling information? Somebody was leaking Tom Welling for Superman information to BOTH Rob and Jayne, that was not true on purpose. Wha Wha Wha What?

[OobeDoobBenubi]

I thought Emily said that JLOnFilme will be posting an interview & not Kryptonfan ? Is that the same JLOnFilm interview ? & whatever happened to Roberts & Emilys update that made Robert take down a story ? I guess thats not happening anymore :huh:

[Showtime]

They are both connected.

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Okay so Robert & Emily still owes us an update
