A suggestion about REPLACING Kate Bosworth.

[Silver Lad]

First of all, I love Superman Returns. I thought it was great. However, its obvious that alot werent too pleased with Kate Bosworth's performance as Lois.

Should Kate Bosworth be replaced for future films?

If so, I'm offering the suggestion of replacing her with House's Jennifer Morrison. She bears a strong resemblence to Kate's Lois and her mannerisms and voice are similar enough to make a smooth transition. She, however, is also a great actress on the show and has a slightly more mature look and presense compared to Kate. She could possibly make it more believeable without totally changing Kate's Lois completely.

[Retroman]

They're not going to replace Bosworth. She signed a contract for 3 movies.Live with it.

[Zakk Sabbath]

wow man that chick is what kate would look like if i took her out for a nice meal maybe

[Silver Lad]

They're not going to replace Bosworth. She signed a contract for 3 movies.Live with it.

There are ways to get her out of it if need be. It wouldnt be the first time.

[Mentok]

Bosworth stays.

Its not really a topic for this forum anyway.

[Thunder Emperor]

bosworth goes, and she can be taken out when ever wb wants, it is written into the contract.

[zanos]

Whoa I'm so used to seeing her in a lab coat. Anyway a recasting can only help at this point. Superman is not a teen drama but that's basically what it's become by casting some many young looking ppl. Routh could easily play 21 and Bosworth could easily be 18 and younger.

[Matt]

They're not going to replace Bosworth. She signed a contract for 3 movies.Live with it.

That doesn't mean they will use her. The WB can release he from the contract at any point. The contract obligates Kate to do the movie, it doesn't obligate WB to use Kate.

I personally think that IF the sequel gets made the brass behind WB is going to cut Kate. They need a bigger name star to help bring in bigger box office. I could easily see WB forcing Rachel McAdams or Kate Beckinsale into the cast as they are currently the 'it girls' of Hollywood.

[OzzMosiz]

I thought Kate did good. Want to see her more risk taking in the next one and stronger character.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Just because other actress's are the it girls..doesn't mean they will have the same chemistry that Kate and Brandon have..you can see them on screen smouldering..you truely believe that they love each other..

and just one line sold me on bosworth..

"how could you leave us like that" fantastic acting.

Gotta think like a suit Robo. They want money. Not chemistry. Especially since the 'chemistry' between Routh and Bosworth didn't produce money.

[Excel]

at this point i doubt it. mcadams woulda helped this movie, but she wouldnt help a sequel any more them bosworth would at this point. besides, i doubt wb will replace anyone. really, they got this movie too well known to do that. not only that but singer defiently wants her to stay, and they will want just as good of movie so casting wise, im sure itll remain the same. this isnt batman where everyone hates-even if unfairly-the love interrst due the actress.

and HELL NO that actress.

kates best acting wasnt even a line. it was the look on her face and the look her eyes when supes flys by the plane window :up:

Gotta think like a suit Robo. They want money. Not chemistry. Especially since the 'chemistry' between Routh and Bosworth didn't produce money.

If you are thinkning like a suit then you wouldn't suggest to replace Kate with Beckinsale or McAdams. They would require a contract with more money because they are IT girls, which wouldn't be smart considering that WB is making changes based on the fact they didn't come close to their projections. Keeping Kate makes more sense because she gave a "good" performance as Lois and replacing Lois isn't really going to give them any more spark at the box office. They will focus on bigger things like reducing the budget and cutting marketing costs.

[The Caped Knight]

Bosworth wasn't that bad, her Lois Lane was a new version of Lois . I the sequel however I'm sure will see more of the iconic Lois Lane. I thought Kate did a good job .

[That-Guy]

IMHO, the problems with Lois's character shouldn't be attributed to Bosworth. Her character was written very poorly at times. Kate did fine with what she was given. As for her being too young for the role... hell, that's just Hollywood. She probably play a teenager in a movie after she hits 30.

[TrailerCues]

How do you like to think like a suit or know what a suit is thinking ? How do you know the WB are not happy with Bosworth ? If they never liked her to begin with she would not have been cast. Stop pretending to be your suit when you do not even know what other suits are thinking

(sighs) haters they will say anything

So there are still people more willing to label someone, instead of debating a point? Sad. If he's a hater, you're an "apologist", so you cancel each other out.

I don't think replacing Lois is going to bring in more money though?

i mean she gave a great proformance..i do not think thet will get rid of her.. why pay extra money for another star..when they have lredy agreed a price with bosworth for the 3 films.

[BMM]

As much as I like Kate Beckinsale, I don't picture her doing much better. Her largest box office draw is Pearl Harbor, which grossed under 200 million dollars . . . and that was a massive Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer production including the likes of Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, Josh Hartnett, and Cuba Gooding Jr. and was released on Memorial Day weekend. Her other headlining films, such as Van Helsing, Serendipity, and Underworld do much worse.

[sman]

I agree Kate did a good job it was just the lois that was written that was horrible. That bwasn't the lois we grew to love it was new lois that byan added that messed up. I have no problems with the cast it is just the writing and the direction the movie that has issues.

[Lightning54SC]

well guys you know im a huge fan of the movie but i think another choice needs to be made... Kate didnt sell to me on her part....

[y2jversion1]

I thought Bosworth was fine in the movie (including the rest of the cast). Had she been given a larger scope and a stronger story to work with, I'm sure many of the anti-Bosworth folks would feel different.

One of the reasons I see over and over people posting as to why they didn't like Bosworth, was because they couldn't see her as *in Jimmy Olsen's voice* "A maammeeee (mommy)" because she looked too young. Had she not been a mommy in the film, I'm sure many of the complaints would not exist as she and Routh looked good together on screen and she would be more focused on the *Superman* storyline instead of the "Lois, Richard & munchkin" storyline which detracted from her focus on Supes.

[TrailerCues]

i think another choice needs to be made... Kate didnt sell to me on her part....

I am going to follow Matt & pretend to be suit. Kate Bosworth is the LEAST of this Movies problems & the WB should focus on whats important. More then enuogh had no problem with Kate Bosworth & yes this includes people outside forums. Kate Bosworth is something I am sure the WB suits does not need to worry about

[fangrl06]

It's not Bosworth they need to replace...

[Showtime]

I doubt anybody is going to be replaced, especially Bosworth.

[SpandexFan]

I think they could have cast a much more appropriate actress as Lois, but I can live with Bosworth. "Alexander" tried to convince me that Angelina Jolie was Colin Ferrell's mother. After that, I can buy any role.

[RedIsNotBlue]

I always wanted Gretchen Mol for Lois Lane.

[Frodo]

I prefer Lois as the fast talking , sarcastic yet yet humorous journalist of STAS , L&C and SV. Her character needs to have that feisty spark to her . I think it's something extra that the actress brings to the table . I've seen it in actresses like Julia Roberts , Ashley Judd , Reese Witherspoon , and Teri Hatcher. I'm not suggesting they should play Lois , but that extra personality is what's needed in whatever actress they cast.

Had the story Bosworth was working with demanded such a personification, I'm sure she would've delivered. Honestly, it was the story that held back the feisty, sarcastic Lois not the actress.

[Silver Lad]

I could easily see WB forcing Rachel McAdams or Kate Beckinsale into the cast as they are currently the 'it girls' of Hollywood.

Beckinsale is too old for Routh. McAdams would just be far too different from the first film. If anything just want someone that has some vague resemblence to Kate's Lois but has a more mature presense and better acting skill.

[Silver Lad]

I disagree though. The majority of the complaints about Lois pertain to the actress playing her; 'too young to make it believeable' etc...

Under another actress' interpretation, the character they wrote may have worked better.

[kal-el2006]

hell no..i love kate.

[Brainiac 8]

She should be, worst part about the movie was Bosworth.:o

[Dr. Fate]

First of all, I love Superman Returns. I thought it was great. However, its obvious that alot werent too pleased with Kate Bosworth's performance as Lois.

Should Kate Bosworth be replaced for future films?

If so, I'm offering the suggestion of replacing her with House's Jennifer Morrison. She bears a strong resemblence to Kate's Lois and her mannerisms and voice are similar enough to make a smooth transition. She, however, is also a great actress on the show and has a slightly more mature look and presense compared to Kate. She could possibly make it more believeable without totally changing Kate's Lois completely.

she didnt sell me... everyone else did but her

[gimmen64]

Hopefully we can see how Bosworth can redeem herself in the sequel, if there is one.

[Kid_Kaos]

Funny to see this now after a so long time we've seen the first pics of Kate as Lois. The first thing I thought was "cool they casted Jennifer Morrison" until I saw the credit. Unbelieveable how much they look alike. They could be twins.
Just too bad it wasn't her. Even though I hate the whole idea of the movie Jenny looks older and fits the mother role much better. Kate wasn't really what I expected from Lois also. More like what Frodo posted.

Should they recast? Yes. Will they recast? No. She's now Lois Lane and will play the role until the franchise goes down again. :(

PS: What I also don't understand is - if she already wears a wig, why does she still have a forehead like Mount Rushmore??? Couldn't they lower the hair to an more appropriate place? That .... thing ... is really distracting. :batman:

[hatebox]

I believe Bosworth did okay with what she was given, but the sassy, sexy Louis of the comics was sorely missing. Their relationshp really COULD hold the same appeal to the women domographic as Spiderman did, and the early marketing certainly tried to play it up.

At least Batman has the excuse of inevitable lonliness, for SUperman thee relationship between him and Louis is a big deal and it should have been much more appealing (especially between her and Clarke) than it was in SR.

[Retroman]

There are ways to get her out of it if need be. It wouldnt be the first time.
I just don't see it happening. Unless Kate bails herself. I read that she wanted to go to college or something.

That doesn't mean they will use her. The WB can release he from the contract at any point. The contract obligates Kate to do the movie, it doesn't obligate WB to use Kate.

I personally think that IF the sequel gets made the brass behind WB is going to cut Kate. They need a bigger name star to help bring in bigger box office. I could easily see WB forcing Rachel McAdams or Kate Beckinsale into the cast as they are currently the 'it girls' of Hollywood.
This is not some no-name actress like Katie Stuart from X2. (She had a deal for to appear in X-Men 3 but Fox just decided not utilize their option and recast the role)

And why would the suits at WB be that stupid to bring in those girls? From what i've heard the reason Kate got the role is because she had great chemistry with Routh. They tested other women like Keri Russell but they just didn't have the same thing tha Kate had with Brandon.Inspite of how good they were.

Russell didn't seem pleased about loosing the role in a interview.

[Retroman]

BTW House is produced by Bryan Singer so i wouldn't be surprised if he considerd Jennifer Morrison IF (god forbid) Bosworth was not going to return in Superman 2.

[Silver Lad]

Yup. I was wondering why she was friends with Bryan and then I learned he produces on that show.

I guess that explains Bryan originally wanting Hugh Laurie for Perry White.

[xii22_loop]

is there gunna be a next time? is Singer continuing with sequels?

But I'm totally for this Jennifer chick taking over Bosworth's role

[hatebox]

She's not good-looking enough. Louis should be seriously sexy.

[Lightning54SC]

Keri Russell almost got the gig... i bet she didnt get it cuz Routh was laughing at her Google EYE!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

Nah, I don't want her to be replaced. And I doubt it would happen anyway...

Bosworth may not be an unknown, but she's not that famous either...

I would've liked Jennifer Morrison, but I still mantain Caroline Dhavernas (Wonderfalls) as my first choice.

Morrison is way hotter than Bosworth. Kate is just starting to look scary looking now.

[JackBauer]

I wasn't saying Morrison is more known than Bosworth. but Bosworth isn't that famous, not to the degree of, say, Rachel McAdams.

Haha I strongly disagree. If you go ask 20 random people who Kate Bosworth and another 20 who Rachel McAdams is more people are going to know Bosworth but whatever.

[JackBauer]

actually, I watched SR with about 10. only one of them could indentify Bosworth, and only as "the girl who did that surf movie".

after Mean Girls, The Notebook and specially after Wedding Crashers, McAdams is definitely more well-known. not to mention Red Eye, which did moderately well.

[Silver Lad]

Bosworth is actually more well known than Mcadams, most recently due to all the publicity surrounding her and Orlando Bloom.

If Kate Bosworth dies, then of course they will have to replace her.

But yes ... I like Kate's Lois to an extent. But I want to see a new Lois. A better Lois. When I look to the stars, I know she's out there somewhere. :)

[retconned]

The first comment I want to make here, is that if the next Superman film sticks with this storyline, Lois Lane could actually be written out of the film, or have a bit part because of Jason being Superman's son, and if Jason wasn't Superman's son, she could easily be left out all together considering how things were left in the movie. If Singer directs the sequel and wants to take a more real world, and more Superman driven approach, he should let Lois/Richard/Jason live happily ever after. Hey Clark, sometimes you lose the girl you love, it happens, call me and I'll give you some tips. Anyway, this would mean bringing in Lana Lang to be the love interest in the backdrop of a good, old fashioned Superman adventure, and I would be totally fine with that at this point. Again, thats if this storyline is continued.

Back on topic, Id like to say that Kate Bosworth played a character who was Lois Lane in name only, which is how the character was written, so it's not technically her fault. Could she do the regular Lois Lane, maybe, I don't know. She wouldn't be my first choice. Should Kate be replaced, let me offer up my suggestion for her replacement................

...Sarah Michelle Gellar. She can act, she is hott, and she is a name. SMG is pretty much a triple threat and has always been my first choice for Lois Lane.

[ervann]

You know what. This is getting bad now. Bringing in Lana would be death. I think they should simply ditch the romance, keep it where it was at the end of SR with it semi-resolved...

And make the sequel an effin action-fest that focuses on Superman's kryptonian heritage if anything.

The romance angle is done and over with now.

[Superman Prime]

Beating a dead horse, is what it is.

[DieselsDen]

Kate is just fine as Lois Lane. I had no trouble seeing her as Lois. If she looks too young, then so be it. Margot Kidder aged horrible between sequels. (And I don't mean to knock Margot Kidder, I loved the first two Superman movies.) Teri Hatcher looks worn and weathered after her stint in the awful LOIS AND CLARK.

Why fanboys complain about her so much is beyond me. Natalie Portman as Padme in STAR WARS and that redhead chick who plays MJ in SPIDER-MAN were so much worse.

[DieselsDen]

Just because other actress's are the it girls..doesn't mean they will have the same chemistry that Kate and Brandon have..you can see them on screen smouldering..you truely believe that they love each other..

and just one line sold me on bosworth..

"how could you leave us like that" fantastic acting.

I agree. (I hope you're not being sarcastic. If you are, it doesn't matter because I thought her Lois was just fine.)

[Parker]

I admit Kate Bosworth wasn't the best choice for Lois Lane, but switching out actors mid-franchise has become obsolete. It imposes too much of a disturbance on the audience. I think we should just be happy with what we've got and hope Kate identifies more with her character in the sequels.

[Mr. Walters]

Haha I strongly disagree. If you go ask 20 random people who Kate Bosworth and another 20 who Rachel McAdams is more people are going to know Bosworth but whatever.

I think Bosworth is famous because of Superman Returns and maybe because she is dating Orlando Bloom. Anyway, when she was announced as Lois Lane, I had no clue who she was. In fact, I didn't know anyone who knew who she was.

ALOT of ppl have never heard of Kate Bosworth. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who can even pinpoint anything she's done which was remotely popular. There goes that theory.

i was just watching the Denial clip over at You Tube and the Denial premiere interview on Extra and i realized something:

Routh's girlfriend, Courtney Ford, would've been a GREAT Lois Lane. perfect even.

i'll try to find that Denial premiere on Extra. you guys would know what i mean.

Come to think of it, most of the Jossverse females would make excellent Lois Lane's.

i think we missed the boat on Lois :(. i see that special quality in Courtney for Lois Lane the same way it was with Routh for Clark Kent.

[Silver Lad]

Courtney? Naw. Maybe she could be Lori Lemaris someday.

She has kinda an exotic look.

[DACrowe]

All I want is more spunk and charisma in the next one. She got the intellectual and cunning side of Lois but was a rather boring screen presence however.

[retconned]

Gellar sucks. She looks like death recently. The only good choice I wouldnt mind is Morrison. If they cant get her, they should just leave Kate.

Hey, SMG has started to look alot better recently. She was looking like hell for awhile, but I think she is getting past that.

Actually, come to think of it, if she was 6 years younger and didn't have a gazillion white trash tattoo's, Charisma Carpenter would have made a good Lois Lane.

The thing about casting Lois Lane is that there are so many better options out there than Kate Bosworth and even the biggest supporters of SR and Singer can't really argue that. Bosworth would actually be better suited to play Lana Lang, not Lois. Hell, she only got the part because Spacey suggested her and Kevin is good friends with Singer.

There were better choices than Bosworth, then again, there were way better choices than Kidder the hag too. The mysogenist male in me is at least happy that Kate's Lois looks pretty on screen (even though Kate doesnt look that great in real life right now), she looked good on screen and has some potential.

Her Lois is more subdued, I agree.. but thats kinda what I prefer. I hated how loud and annoying Kidder was and I always wanted to see a more feminine, softer Lois to contrast the manliness of the MOS.

To be honest, I really dont want this Lois to change into the way shes traditionally acted in live versions. I just realized I hated all those Lois performances. Its usually hard to love Lois, to care about her, to feel her emotions, because shes usually so hard-nosed and boyish.... a more feminine, softer Lois isnt bad within the context of this film.

I actually would have got annoyed if she started doing Lana-fu and kicking butt...

Well thats all I wanted from Lois, what Kate gave was fine. This film was about Superman for me and his casting was the most crucial ever. Brandon was great.

Get rid of Kate, she was not good. Almost as bad as Katie Holmes was in BB (hope she does not return).

As a general rule women are portraied badly in comic book adaptions (with som exceptions, like MJ in Spider-Man). In SR they had the Lois always putting herself in danger, but this time she was even more stupid and taking her son into danger to. Not so good Bosworth, and bad writing of the character equals very bad result.

Frankly, she was quite boring and irritating.

[Steelsheen]

Courtney? Naw. Maybe she could be Lori Lemaris someday.

She has kinda an exotic look.

that's exactly why i thought she would make a pretty good Lois. isnt Lois supposed to be "brains, beauty and bravery"? seems like Courtney is that way, i dont see this lady being a wallflower.

maybe part of the reason why Routh fell for her :O

Exceptions like MJ? Haha go to the Spiderman forums. MJ is hated way more than Kate.

Ya, women tend to suck in these films.

The Gwen Stacey's and the Lana Langs will always be more likeable than the Lois Lane's and the MJ's.

I just had to say it :)

wow.....

Lana is easily the most hated character within the Smallville fanbase. All the SV messageboards tear her apart and the writers have made her one of the most unlikeable characters on television.

I cant judge Gwen as I havent seen her yet, but I hope shes decent. Track record for women in these films aint so great.

Smallville's greatest mistake has been the portrayal of Lana Lang.

[DarKush]

I say replace Bosworth. She was a cipher in the role. Jennifer Morrison looks similar enough to Bosworth where it wouldn't be too much of a disconnect. If Morrison can bring some life and sass to the role, I'm all for her.

I also like the idea of Rachel McAdams. Someone else has suggested Kate Beckinsale too. I don't quite see her in this role. More as Selina Kyle.

However, another poster pointed out Beckinsale's B.O. track record as a reason not to replace Bosworth with her. At least Beckinsale has a track record.

The Underworld movies have made pretty good B.O., and Beckinsale has pulled off carrying two action movies, something more famous actresses, Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie have failed to do.

Lastly, I don't get the Margot Kidder hate. I think she was a thousand times better than Bosworth. Her Lois had edge, felt real. I like her being under the gun, trying to prove herself. She came across far more interesting. Kidder also was more attractive than Bosworth to me.

i dont hate Lana (Kristin Kreuk). i think she's one damn fine lady with lousy character development, but she does her best with what's given to her. in fact seeing raven haired Kristin makes me regret all the more that shallow ginger haired Erica who is a travesty as Lois. true Lois is pretty brash as a character but there is also a sense of grace and gravitas to her. Erica's Lois is just rude with nice boobies.

I think McAdams would be pretty annoying in the role. I've seen her do 'sass' before its pretty on par with Kate's. Rachel has a bigger forehead than Kate too :down

http://www.starfool.com/images/Rachel_McAdams/Rachel_McAdams_main.jpg

I think alot of the same crap that the fanboys throw at Bosworth would be thrown at McAdams in the role. It really wouldnt make a difference.

Kidder also was more attractive than Bosworth to me.

Eh..whatever does it for you I guess.

[7Hells]

I prefer Lois as the fast talking , sarcastic yet yet humorous journalist of STAS , L&C and SV. Her character needs to have that feisty spark to her .

I agree completely.
The Lois Bosworth is playing seems like a snobby priss that wouldnt knee a guy between the legs because she's too classy.

Lois was the first kick ass broad in the comics. That is one aspect that Lois should never lose, I dont care how many kids she had. And they didnt write her as a priss in SRs' script. How could a snooty little miss priss (still) be so bad at spelling?
Bosworth misread the character and has no clue what made us love Lois.
Lois was a sassy, street smart, ball buster. Bosworth is only playing her like a ballbuster. She overlooked all the dimensions of Lois that made her a great character.

But I disagree with your belief that the actress has to have that naturally built into their personality. They just have to be a good actress.

I say make her do a little research, make her prepare the delivery of her lines in more than one dimension before the next one, and she will get it right.

BTW I think the reason people think older when they think of Lois is because of her personality. Which obviously wasnt portrayed and thats why we think Bosworth is too young.

[7Hells]

There were better choices than Bosworth, then again, there were way better choices than Kidder the hag too. The mysogenist male in me is at least happy that Kate's Lois looks pretty on screen (even though Kate doesnt look that great in real life right now), she looked good on screen and has some potential.

Did you see the special features on the Superman DVD that showed all the famous actresses that screen tested for Lois? Man, it was no comparison once Kidder's screen test was done.

And BTW that mysogenistic male in you is also why you dont like Lois Lane the way she is supposed to be in the first place, the way she is in the comics, loud, hard nosed and boyish. ;)


As for looks, I cant counter that. :)
Though I think Kidder looked just fine, as does Bosworth, I know I would have been pretty upset had they cast a Superman that wasnt masculine and still beautiful and a Clark that couldnt pull off the sexy nerd that gave us older female fans our nerd fetish.
From a female perspective, Routh was an excellent choice.
I couldnt care less how he looks outside the movie.

[casketmouth]

They're not going to replace Bosworth. She signed a contract for 3 movies.Live with it.

yeah like all the other horrible crap that comes with returns. I must live with it.

[BULLITT]

I said before that I didn't like her as Lois.
However, after seeing it again, she did fine (with the script that she had to work with....and she's as pretty as a picture.
Her face and Margot Kidder's manic acting, and you'll have a great Lois Lane.
That being said, Lois has a kid now, and if her character didn't chane, then she'd be like "Mommy Dearest":eek: ..*shudder*.

[retconned]

Screw Margot Kidder, that disgusting chain smoking rat faced b#tch hag.

It's funny, for as iconic as some say Superman The Movie is, Kidder's Lois Lane and Hackman's Lex Luthor are mostly considered to be crap and far from the definitve versions of there character.

Oh don't worry, I hated her performance as well. There was not one likeable thing about her Lois Lane, which is both her and the writers fault. Hell, Clark/Superman falls in deep romantic candle light love with her after 30 seconds. Lame :down

btw, Im in no way attacking you as a poster, Im just voicing my true opinion on the 78 Lois Lane and love story.

[alsays1]

I'm not saying that Kate is a bad actress. She's just not Lois. I don't know if it's her interpretation of the character, Bryan's direction or how the part was written but what we got was a dreary, lackluster, charisma less Lois. Kate looked absolutely bored in the part. Where was the spunk? She practically had the same expression on her face through the entire movie. If there are to be sequels than either a recast or a reimagined Lois is necessary. She also need to get rid of that unattractive wig. What were they thinking? Kate's actually a beautiful girl but it seemed like a concerted effort was made to make her look dowdy. She didn't look like a professional newswoman...she looked more like an intern struggling to make ends meet and bypassing a trip to the salon to save some bucks. I was just looking at the new clips from the Donner version of Superman II and say what you want about Margot's looks (I think she looked great) but she nailed Lois. She got it. She made her fun to watch and you could understand why Superman was smitten.

[Mentok]

Put it in the complaints thread.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

This thread is probably going to be closed.

[The Incredible Hulk]

I agree Bosworth was the weak link in the film. She made Kirsten Dunst and Katie Holmes look like Kathryn Hepburn and Betty Grable...

[jensmith]

I agree, I hope they recast (mho).

ETA: just fyi, there is a discussion about this in the sequel forum.

I don't think the actor was the problem here - it was the material she was given to work with. An actor is only as good as the material they are given IMO.

In other words, you can thank Singer & his writers for the dull spunk-less Lois, not Kate. If Kate was given a script that demanded spunk, I'm sure she would have delivered.

Ummm this is a different forum and we are discussing if the producers should replace Kate and why.

[NHawk19]

I know they wont replace her . . . .but they should.

[Darkstar]

No, they shouldn't replace her, but if they did, I'd suggest:

Winona Ryder

Jewel Staite

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Alyson Hannigan

Amy Acker

Charisma Carpenter

Katee Sackoff

Sarah Polley

Summer Glau (she's in her 20's)

[retconned]

Man, if Charisma Carpenter wasn't so old she would make a great Lois Lane.

You could actually cast a Superman movie using actors from the Jossverse and it would be a pretty damn good film, only thing is everyone is getting old. God how I wish David Boreanaz was ten years younger, he would be my Superman choice.

[Zor-El]

I liked how bosworth played lois, but i didnt really like how they wrote her. She was an absolute jerk to just about everyone. I think if they write her better in the sequel, bosworth will be fine. not everything lois says has to be cruel, cynical, or ironic...

[zaninio]

I think the writers just failed to give Bosworth the lines to show the spunky, fun side of Lois Lane. But then again Lois is supposed to have grown bitter in the last 5 years. Plus having a kid, well, that'll take the shine off any new penny, I don't care how fun and sassy you used to be.

I thought Bosworth was fine given what she had to work with but if they did replace Lois Lane my vote would be for:

1. Reese Witherspoon (she was a great brunette in Walk the Line, and who couldn't help but love & hate her in Election?)
2. Jennifer Garner

I agree it was probably the lines but if they were to replace her I would like to see this woman do the job . http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/sheltz32tt/rachel.jpg

She does have an eerie resemblance to Bosworth...

She looks familiar, was she on 90210 or something?

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Bosworth has the face of TAS Lois.

They should have kept HER hair, dyed it black.

Also they should have given her just a little more edge. No replacement needed. Bosworth is a very good actress :up:

[Showtime]

I just opened a thread in the Untitled Sequel section, on replacing Bosworth, considering they are replacing Katie Holmes. Not that I want to replace her, but it is an interesting concept, is it possible to replace her and with whom. I see alot of interesting choices in this thread.

[dark_b]

if kate has the same body as this girl than we have a winner.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I have to say the only female lead that I've really liked in a comicbook movie is Dunst as M.J and nobody, absolutely nobody is going to change my mind when it comes to that topic.

Bosworth is a good actress and played the blandly written role as well as anyone probably would have but even if the role was written more Loisy, she would still be wrong for it because she is too serious and still looks like a teenager.

Not that Bosworth is great, but Dunst is just OK as MJ to me. :heart:

[devastator]

I think Kate Bosworth will stay on for the sequel. Everyone's gotten the 1st movie under their belt,and they now know what changes need to be made. She'll do alot better the second time around.

[punxnotdead]

I don't think they should change Louis's. I think Kate did a very good job and I don't see what so many people are complaining about! Just because she looks too young, it doesn't mean anything. Anywho, that was just my opinion.
Rachel

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Kate is easily more watchable than Kirsten in the spidey flicks *shudders*

[Selene]

I dont know whats worse katie Holmes in Batman Begins or Kate Bosworth in Superman returns either way, shows WB casting dept sucks.

The Lois role wasn't the best written role for a female in a Super hero movie but her role wasn't exactly terribly written either... what was really bad was how she acted in the role.

Her acting to be honest stunk up the place, and im talking about how she read her lines, and stuff she just didn't sound natural, and yes the dialog was very corny, and stuff so that didn't help her bad acting.

She sounded like she was reading lines, and not having a normal conversation with the other actor in the scene with her.. The ability to come off natural in a conversation while acting is what separates the good actors from the not so good one's.

Spacey's Lex for example had the WORST plot scheme ever written for any badguy in a Super hero movie, and yet he came off very natural when he's engaged in dialog with any actor... So while his storyline was terrible he was enjoyable to watch on screen in his limited time because Kevin Spacey is a real actor who knows how to act.

Brandon Routh like Kate also has acting issues...
He comes off very wooden, and stiff, and like he's reading lines, and not having a conversation...

It's sad but the best actors in the movie were NOT Lois & Clark but Jimmy & Lex.

And their characters storyline's sucked badly lol...

I really think that changing lead actors is the only way to go if the WB plans on making sequels to SR.

I just can't see people flocking to theaters in '09 to watch a direct sequel with the same terrible cast, and same writing team, and director.
The WB are fooling them self's if they honestly think that they have any shot in 09 with the line up coming out in '09.

i'm not a bosworth fan....but after seeing the movie, and even though i find her acting poor, i really wouldnt want anyone else. shes got that role now.

[lazur]

Gotta think like a suit Robo. They want money. Not chemistry. Especially since the 'chemistry' between Routh and Bosworth didn't produce money.

Ugh, apparently it did. Just because it didn't gross a billion at the BO doesn't mean it "didn't make money". It absolutely was a profitable movie, period.

[batdude]

Yes, Kate needs to be replaced! With one of these.
1 Rose Mcgowan
2. Erica Durance
3. Sophia Bush.

[Lightning54SC]

if spacey doesnt want to be uther anymore then replace bosworth with someone else

[Spider-Fan83]

if spacey doesnt want to be uther anymore then replace bosworth with someone else
just cause he’s the one who suggested her, (though, I’ve seen beyond the sea, and I see where he would of suggested her) doesn't mean they have to wait for him to leave, before they can replace her if necessary

but, unless its a total recast/revamp like in TIH, i don't think a recast for just her, wouldn't go over that well, then again, TDK, replaced they lead lady, so, you never know

[04nbod]

First of all, I love Superman Returns. I thought it was great. However, its obvious that alot werent too pleased with Kate Bosworth's performance as Lois.

Should Kate Bosworth be replaced for future films?

If so, I'm offering the suggestion of replacing her with House's Jennifer Morrison. She bears a strong resemblence to Kate's Lois and her mannerisms and voice are similar enough to make a smooth transition. She, however, is also a great actress on the show and has a slightly more mature look and presense compared to Kate. She could possibly make it more believeable without totally changing Kate's Lois completely.

I think she would be good... Kate was terrible!

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Well, I always thought Jennifer looked like Kate, and considering Singer produces and sometimes directs House, its a weird little thing to think about. I think Singer wanted Laurie as Perry, so I wonder if he ever wanted Jennifer as Lois.

[Showtime]

She was in the running for Lois actually, and it makes sense, look at Bosworth and Keri Russel. They all have the same look.

she is suppose to be older,(as it's been 5-6 years) and she is a MILF (with a 6 year old kid), but, not that much older, i guess, so, i'll still say no to her (plus, she was already Barbara Gordon)

but, Kate, looked like she got knocked up in high school LOL
(if she is suppose to be a mother of a 6 yo kid)

No, that isn't her. Jennifer Morrison plays Dr Cameron on House.

don't, I hate miscasting, but cast changes are even worse 2 me

Ok, I know she is a favorite for Wonder Woman, but I think Morena Baccarin would make a good Lois Lane. I know she doesn't look like the comic book drawing, but I don't care. There's just, something about her....

Hell, yes!
She ruined that character and helped to make the movie the piece of crap that it is. :cmad:

In hollywood nothing is set in stone. SR wasn't such a runaway success that Bosworth couldn't be replaced. I mean, damn, Marvel is sure as hell replacing Hulk's Jennifer Connely and she's won an oscar.

Bosworth wishes she could make that boast. what is she gonna say? "You can't fire me! I was in Blue Crush!"

Get Real.

[batdude]

I think Bosworth should be replaced with Sophia Bush.

[Damien Rage]

Selma Blair or Rachel McAdams. Actaully either one would be good for Lois or WW imo.

[dr collossus]

I think Bosworth should be replaced with someone who can act.

[dr collossus]

And I think her Lois character should be re-written as someone who is actually Lois.

Perfect replacements:

Selma Blair
Jordana Brewster
Sophia Bush
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Natalie Portman
Mandy Moore


Sophia Bush. :heart:

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It was the writing, not Bosworth.It was the writing and Bosworth.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Sophia Bush. :heart:She can't act worth crap.

[Jake Cassidy]

She can't act worth crap.


Are you gonna say who you like or are you just gonna piss on everyone else's picks.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

^Well when I saw such a crappy choice I had to respond.

And I'll say Kirsten Bell easily. She is actually spunky and can act, Bosworth isn't a bad actress she just isn't spunky enough to be Lois Lane.

[batdude]

I really think Sophia Bush can act. Kirsten Bell is more Harley Quinn.:whatever:

[I SEE SPIDEY]

You are only saying that because she said that she wanted to play that role. And I still stick by my comments and Bush.

[Lightning54SC]

I know its gotten beaten to death but McAdams is the true Lois Lane, end of discussion

[NotFadeAway]

I think McAdams is so perfect for the role, yet the suggestion is being shoved down peoples throat so much that everyone is trying to find someone better!

[zanos]

Too old.

[NotFadeAway]

Not Really

[Spider-Fan83]

Too old.
by too old, do you mean, someone actually the age of the character she's playing
(I am just saying, in terms of age, not in support of McAdams)

giving the time line the movie followed, her having a kid,.... an early 30's actress would fit

[zanos]

If Singer is directing then Lois should look like a teen like the little sister on Bionic Woman.

[NotFadeAway]

Singer sucks

[Suzi_Jazz]

No, she shouldn't replace her. Lois has always been pretty plain. Kate Bosworth seems good as any other plain jane.

[Riven]

If they keep Routh they should keep Kate Bosworth.

[BobJM]

Yes. Either have a fresh new take or keep the same cast.

[Super Kal]

yes, yes, and more yes...


Rachel McAdams

[Jake Cassidy]

Rachel McAdams is the perfect Lois Lane, imo.

[sethpixar]

Katie Holmes or Erica Durance or even Evangeline Lilly.

[bruce_kent]

Amanda Peet (The X Files 2) I Think is the better option for a New Lois Lane, more than Kate Bosworth.

Bye.

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Jordana Brewster was shortly rumored as Lois Lane back in the McG days. The fan favorite was Evangeline Lilly or Mia Kirshner for the longest time. Now a lot of people are saying McAdams.

I think Bosworth is a good enough actress to have done the part better than she did to be honest. I've seen her turn in good performances, BTS she was great imo. One thing is they screwed up her hair. Should have given her more of a Teri Hatcher season 1 Lois look. Another thing is just plain how they wrote her, now she has to played a softened version as a mother.

[bruce_kent]

My suggestions are:

CLAIRE FORLANI (Meet Joe Black?)



or


http://l.yimg.com/img.tv.yahoo.com/tv/us/img/site/50/44/0000035044_20061021052143.jpg


AMANDA PEET (The Secret X Files 2)


Bye.

[MARVEL-MAN]

Don't get me wrong. Kate Bosworth is an extremely attractive lady. However, she looks more like a little girl in highschool rather than a mature newspaper woman, such as Lois is.

[MARVEL-MAN]

Singer sucks
Perhaps not in everything he directs, but I agree with you when it comes to Superman Returns. I was forced into seeing it once, and that shall be the very last time for me..:whatever:

[Clark Kent]

Katie Holmes or Erica Durance or even Evangeline Lilly.

Evangeline Lilly's a good choice, IMO. But Katie Holmes has already been in Batman Begins, and Erica Durance is already in Smallville.

My suggestions are:

CLAIRE FORLANI (Meet Joe Black?)

AMANDA PEET (The Secret X Files 2)


Bye.

Both hot, but too old, IMO.

I agree with you when it comes to Superman Returns. I was forced into seeing it once

How did you know it was gonna be crap before you saw it?

[JackBauer]

Michelle Monaghan. Right age, right looks, talented... Plus, she has a perfect mix of sass, sexy and sweet.

[SuperDaniel]

My choice will always be Evangeline Lilly.

[BULLITT]

A "darker" Superman, may not even have a Lois in it.

I like it.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Even thought it will never happen I still say Gretchen Mol.

[marukisu]

...

[Bloodwynd]

Bosworth was one of the most miscast people I've ever seen in a Superman movie. She definitely needs to be replaced...maybe by Jennifer Love Hewitt?

[Threshold]

She's been tossed around as a potential candidate for Wonder Woman, but I think Cobie Smulders of TV's "How I Met Your Mother" would be a dynamite Lois Lane.

OK, you've lost me with your ending suggestion LOL.

[Ursa]

Keri Russell should replace her.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/entertainment/2006-04/27/xin_5204032911381461412938.jpg

[luxluthor]

Kate Beckinsale is an obvious brilliant choice to replace the weak Bosworth performance- She has what these other choices seem to lack...

[Ursa]

Keri Russell deserves this role.

[Majik1387]

Wrong...
Bosworth may have been a bad choice, but at least she can act.

[BULLITT]

Bosworth wasn't that bad, her Lois Lane was a new version of Lois . I the sequel however I'm sure will see more of the iconic Lois Lane. I thought Kate did a good job .
:up:

[BULLITT]

Charisma Carpenter perhaps?

I could get behind her...or in front...or....;)

[aia]

lois in superman returns was rubbish. Sorry. 3 year contracts are up now so they can replace a few or all of them.
