Cast a teenage Jason

[The Kid]

Well I think that if this quasi-sequel thing continues we'll be seeing Jason's development into a superhero of his own :eek::supes: YEAH!

so who should be cast as the Son of supes?

Who else but peter pan, Jeremy Sumpter of course. End of discussion.

[CGHulk]

You know how many people thought his acting was terrible in that film, alot did!

[The Kid]

Really? That's the first I've heard that. I didn't have a problem with his acting... *shrugs*

well continue choosing people to become superboy then.

[Tempest19]

I really liked that film- cool casting idea.

[The Question]

Won't he be nearing his teen years by the time they ever decide to show him becoming a hero in his own right in the films?

[Jochimus]

I was gonna suggest Stephen Bender, since he played teenage Clark in SR for all of two minutes.

Of course, that would require the series to jump ahead about 15 years, but y'know what? I'd say go for it.

[MJB]

pointless. Sorry but Superman needs to be fixed first.

[Steelsheen]

Sumpter was good, and i like that version of PP.

but for Sumpter or even Bender to play teen Jason the plot has to be fast forwarded to 18 years.

i'm thinking the gap for SR and the sequel shouldnt be more than 3 years. given how SR ended, the next one should start as close to the first one as possible.

[The Kid]

If singer does a next one it'll be all about Jason coping with being the son of superman so I suspect he'll fast forward to an age where Jason can be shown trying to court his own little lois and having parallel problems to his father so maybe he tries to lose his powers in the krypton red sun chamber from superman II, but zod returns and he has to get them back to help his dad defeat him. It'd be great to see superman and jason team up for their battle with zod!1111

[Visionary]

Wow, developing that bastard child for a much bigger role...you people must like seeing Superman fail at the box office. :O

[The Kid]

heck no. I want the sequel to make a trillion dollars. that's why it's necessary to have two superheros in one movie. TWICE THE ACTION!!!

[Visionary]

Yeah, that'll work...more like two times the crap! :whatever:

[The Kid]

I think I love you

[Steelsheen]

Weyseed, i think you've eaten too much burgers at White Castle dude ;)

[The Kid]

ack. I hate white castle burgers.

Still, tis prudent we prepare for the future. If Superboy Returns an actor will need to be chosen for the part and he'll need a costume too. Speculate! Speculate my brothers and sisters1

PREPARE FOR SUPERBOY RETURNS

[The Punisher]

If Jason where to come back, the same actor who played him could return.

[Mr. Credible]

You know how many people thought his acting was terrible in that film, alot did!

yeah, he wasn't very good at all, but he had charisma and charm.

[igotatromboner]

Yah.....that "new Thread" button isn't for random ideas about casting. Especially when you are suggesting a role being played but some douche in a Peter Pan movie. That kid's probably 17 or 18 by now. Routh didn't even pull of 25. How the hell could he be a dad to a 17 year old? That kid in the movie was older than Kate Boswoth's ability menstrate.

[The Kid]

Douche? Why do you say that? Always seemed like a normal kid, to me. Let's take a look at reality, people. Singer dropped Superboy on us and he's going to need to be cast with an older actor if that's what the sequel requires.

And Kate bosworth menstrates fine, I guess.

[Moododa]

Here is an idea Jason gets run over by a bus and dies.

[lordofthenerds]

Here is an idea Jason gets run over by a bus and dies.
Like a bus would kill him. :rolleyes:

[matrix_ghost]

Given SInger's ability to recast characters ( see X2 for that) , i'm all for a teenage jason. As long as he doesn't look too old.
The thing with Routh and Boswourth is that they look very young compared to Christopher Reeve and MArgot Kidder. I could believe those two having a child with the age of Jason in SR.
With SR , it's a stretch since i do know that there are couples who tend to stay young looking for a long time even when they have kids. Other couples grow older a bit.

So that's were the problem lies a bit. They need to make both characters look a bit older IMO. Just cut of the dreamy soft porn filter look that they used for the cinematography and go for wrinkles and stuff. AGE the characters.

And while were at it , why not cast Freddie Highmore who gave a great performance in Charlie and the chocolate factory and Finding Neverland.

Or if they can remove those spots from his face , the kid who played Edmund Pevensie in Narnia , Skandar Keynes

That's fine if you want to see Superman go apesh**, vaporize Luthor and half of Metropolis in a blind rage and get put in a pine box by a S.W.A.T. team armed with Kryptonite ammo.

I like the concept of Jason, it's just I don't think Singer, Doughtery, Harris, etc. thought of the long-term ramifications - few writers seem able to make little kids acceptable (or at least minimally-annoying) characters, and if Singer and his minions were to get axed by WB in favor of a sequel by another production team, who's to say the next writer would handle Jason any better?

[igotatromboner]

Singer, Doughtery, and Harris didn't think the kid out. It's the biggest complaint other than the lack of action. Most people don't really care about a Superboy side story. We want Superman smashing villians and saving the day. Not a Superman all torn up inside because he was late picking his kid up because he was saving the world. The kid was a stupid idea for a movie trying to revive a franchise and honestly came across as rather soap opera like. Cheesy and uncalled for, just like Lex Luthor in the film.

[Bad Superman]

It's official, the Superman forums have gone to h@ll. . . .

that is impressive, the similarity, good eye, good call, and a relatively fine young actor. (Id much rather see Jason get his head cut off, but if he lives on, this kid would be one of the front runners for sure). However, dependent on that is how soon is SR2 gonna be made, too late, and he'll be quite old.

I am clapping so hard at this post bravo friend bravo.:cwink:

[TheComicbookKid]

I'm not a writer, but the idea of Jason growing up in the trilogy is stupid. Superman needs to be with Lois so I don't believe the movies are going to allow the child to age beyond two years. They may have to change child actors, but the kid is going to stay a kid.

If Singer is smart: The second movie will deal with why Supes and not Richard needs to be Jason's father.

The third movie will be Lois and Supes getting together.

[The Kid]

Sucks to be Richard, doesn't it.

No I think Jason will grow up to become supe's sidekick and train with him. This isn't the simpsons and adults though I guess most have kids, probably don't care to watch kiddies in every comicbook movie running around with garbage pails on their heads so WB will require Jason to age for demographic reasons, maybe cast a young pop singer as the Jason for the sequel to get teenage girls to see it, stuff like that.

[The Question]

Guys. By the time they're using Richard in any of the movies in a heroic capacity, the actor will probably be a teenager.

[hypeSUPERMAN]

I really hope Jason remains a non-factor in the sequels, don't age him just let him stay at home with Lois.

[Immortalfire]

Down with Jason. I don't want Superman & Son running around. In fact, that sounds like heroes for hire: "In trouble? Don't fuss, Call us. SUPERMAN & SON!"

[Speedball]

How about Kate Bosworth???
She already looks like a 12 year old boy.
Hmm...Skandar Keynes was a pretty great suggestion actually.

[project13]

How about Zac Efron? He has that "super-babyface" look that Tristan Lake Teabu has.

[wellsy]

No.

Leave Tristan to play Jason. And let the thread die.

Please.

Ditto. MOre Jason = less box office and more disgruntled fans.

Based upon SR, we know SInger is not though, don't we? HE gave SUperman a bloody illegitimate child! AAAHHH!!

[mego joe]

No.

You're onto something with that die part....

Not the thread, just the SR franchise.

How about Brandon Routh? Just kidding.

[Spider-Fan83]

I personally, don't want the story to jump any farther ahead in to the future, so, I don't see why we would need to cast a teenage Jason (unless, his half alien genes , make him age faster or something :whatever:)

I mean, do we want another 7-10 time leap to where Jason is a teenager, I think if anything, they might have to recast to a different young kid, so, that he is still 6-7 in the next movie, when ever it happens (or just keep him and let time past, how long it takes them to make the next one)
(though, (IMO) I’d prefer the sequel to be continuous and not have to much time past inbetween)

With that said
in the spirit of the thread, i might say, Hunter Gomez

or how about the Sprouse twins LOL

PERFECT

[Damien Rage]

yeah, he wasn't very good at all, but he had charisma and charm.

I didn't think much of his acting...good or bad.
(hell...he was oscar worthy compared to Jake Llyod)
er...ok...I thought he was kinda innocent and cute.

Only problem I had with Tristan was...he needed a haircut wicked bad.

Also I forget who posted it (I'm sorry) but I like the idea of keeping Jason a kid (the Simpsons have been kids for what 20 years?)

[Venom1001]

How about Zac Efron?

Just trim his hair a bit, dye it brown and he would be perfect. . . . .

[The Joker_1000]

Seriously, Singer should keep Tristan Lake Leabu which they'll end up doing anyway. Not to mention that there's no point in fast forwarding all the way to his teen years.

[That'ssuper!]

Why not just keep the current kid, like his character is going to really go anywhere in the meantime except either die or become Superboy in the seventh film. There's no need to recast.

[DavidTyler]

Here's my casting of the teenage Jason.... ready?

the actor from harry potter.

He would be perfect for the part.

Too bad he didn't get the role the first time around!

Imagine the casting wars if we'd heard about 'him' 2 years ago!

Vote

Tristan Lake LeBeua
or
No one

I'm sure no one would have been awesome in the role and really improved SR immensely!
