Some Pics to Help.










As for my Pick. I Like Rhona Mitra for the part. I really don't want a young twenty something actress. To me Lois has to be a Strong Woman, and I think Rhona would be perfect.

[SuperDaniel]

Evangeline Lilly!

[kalelkilla]

I think if they want to cast older people (and I think they should) Jennifer Garner is a good pic, if they want to cast younger, then Keira Knightley

[kalelkilla]

Rachel McAdams is another fine choice, but again a lot of Lois' casting has to do with who is cast as Superman...but she is a fine choice as well.

[Asr]

Rose Byrne? Recent credits include 28 Weeks Later and Troy both in which she did a good job playing tough yet vulnerable.

While I'm a firm believer that you can't cast Lois
until you've cast your Superman, I would cast
Rose because I think she would make a great Lois
to Cavill's Superman, and Cavill is who I'm supporting
for that role. Some other actresses just wouldn't
work with Cavill, just like some other Supermen
wouldn't work with Rose.

But Rose is my Lois.

From the looks, GREAT CHOICE.

ps: I don't find Rose Byrne attractive at all and i'm tired of seing LOIS in the movies portrayed as such an average ugly woman. I mean, WTF! He prefers Lois over Wonder Woman for CHRIST SAKE! She must be at least more than pretty.

First of all, she's not average or ugly.
Secondly, who are you to judge who another man finds attractive?
Superman falls in love with her. Not SuperDaniel falls in love with her.

[SuperDaniel]

I personally think it should be someone as hot as Teri Hatcher was and as hot as Durance is. Byrne is way below them.

As stupid as it may sound, this picture really does represent the ideal look for Lois to me. Intelligence, cuteness, and pure spunk.

I can't say I have seen any particular actress right now that fits all the criteria, so I'm fairly clueless on this matter. Teri Hatcher was damn near perfect though.

Actually, Lois is not supposed to be portrayed as overly attractive. 04nbod is right, Superman is attracted to Lois because of her intelligence.

I believe it's from Byrne's Superman that goes: "She's... I don't know... not as beautiful as a movie star, but she has... a quality. Something I've never seen in any other woman. Almost a fire in those big, dark eyes. For just a moment it seemed as if something passed between us. A spark."

"Not as beautiful as a movie star." It's one of the elements of the Superman story that makes it so charming and emotional--Superman is seduced by Lois' personality (what a thought) and her looks are irrelevant. I don't know for a fact, but it's probably taken from Pride & Prejudice in which Lizzie is "plain," but the stunningly handsome Darcy, who could have any woman he wants, falls in love with Lizzie because he is so enchanted by her wit and intelligence. That's one of the major elements of Pride & Prejudice that has made it such a beloved story that people have come back to over and over again through the centuries, and it's just as appealing in Superman. So casting some flavor-of-the-week Hollywood knockout as Lois would ruin the dynamic and dilute the power of the story.

Diluting the power of beloved stories seems to be Hollywood's speciality, though, so this is all irrelevant. We know that a movie studio is not going to cast an "average" looking woman as Lois (even though "average" in Hollywood terms is still gorgeous). Hell, to Hollywood Keira Knightley was supposed to be "plain" in Pride & Prejudice. Yeah, right. We got Kate Bosworth the last time around (who miscast beyond just her looks) and I'm sure they'll screw it up again this time.

The key to casting Lois Lane is who can bring that quality of competence and intelligence behind the eyes, as if she's the smartest person in any room she walks into, that unspoken mental processing ability that unfortunately can't be acted. The actress herself must naturally possess it. There aren't very many actresses who have a true intelligence behind the eyes--it's a rare quality in Hollywood. The only actress that I can think of off the top of my head that definitely has it is Cate Blanchett, but she's too old now.

It is true; Superman is attracted to Lois because of her spunk and her personality. But, forget not that she still must look better than Clark. She's his "unreachable" dream.

You nailed it. Best post in this thread.:up:

[NeoRanger]

It really depends on the artist. Unlike Superman, there are no actual norms to follow for her. Gary Frank draws her like Margot Kidder. Ed Bennes makes her a super-model and so does Jim Lee. Quietly makes her actually quite regular, though obviously petite. Shuster was drawing her as the regular 1940's movie star (though that doesn't say much, since Shuster's women looked pretty much all the same).

The best way to get Lois is to put her among the cast she's playing with. She must be noticeably shorter than Superman, but more attractive than Clark. She must not be the prettiest woman in the film, but she should still be captivating. And she must have those "smart" eyes.

That kind of thing.

[SuperDaniel]

She doesn't have to be suuuuuuuper hot but at least beautiful.

Lois Lane needs to be hot. They havent got it right since Teri Hatcher.

[Sam]

I always thought that COURTNEY COX would be a terrific Lois Lane.

unfortunatelly, her time has passed. But if movie came up 8 years ago, she would be perfect for the role.

http://www.friendscoffeebreak.com/arquivo/ccbiografia.jpg

[Crook]

Completely agreed. Unfortunately, this generation's Courtney Cox hasn't appeared.

[Edmund Blackadder]

While I'm a firm believer that you can't cast Lois
until you've cast your Superman, I would cast
Rose because I think she would make a great Lois
to Cavill's Superman, and Cavill is who I'm supporting
for that role. Some other actresses just wouldn't
work with Cavill, just like some other Supermen
wouldn't work with Rose.

But Rose is my Lois.

some really sucky choices in this thread (more like some really ugly women) but i think odette is a really solid choice, i also like MEW

[SuperDaniel]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a good choice. Never thought of her.

[Frodo]

I'd actually pick Malin Ackermann .......but she's already in Watchmen:csad:. She's a left field choice , but I think she'd be able to be funny, cynical,smart, tough , sexy and vunerable.

Another choice would be actress Diane Kruger of the National Tresure films .

[I SEE SPIDEY]

^She'd have to lose the accent but I really dig Diane Kruger.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Malin would be great but I guarantee after Watchmen is a success, she'll be forever remembered as Silk Spectre.

She went to my university =)

[Pickle-El]

If Kate doesn't work well for Lois....she'd be just great for Lana too.

[kalelkilla]

I'd go with Anne Hathaway, or Keira Knightley. Remember, a good actress can do pretty much anything you can throw are her. Spunk, smart, sassy, sexy...these are all qualities that a good actress should be able to pull off...but for god sake man, Lois is HOT, lets not fool ourselves, sure that's not the reason Superman loves her, but she is still HOT. Teri Hatcher was great IMO, but there is no way she is ever going to get cast in the movie. Evangeline Lilly looks good too.

[daywalker2007]

absolutely yes to MEW!

she would be the hottest ever Lois, even better than Teri.

it would be great to see her as Lois, even though she is the fanboy favorite for every single comic book female character,lol

either her or Rose Byrne would do just fine alongside someone like Cavill as supes!:oldrazz::oldrazz:

MEW would be great.

Rashida Jones

http://ngoisao.net/News/Hau-truong/2007/04/3B9BE24A/rashida_jones.jpg

The only problem is that her skin tone is darker than Lois' and I'd hate to see her made lightened

[romeogbs19]

I like Evangeline Lily, too -- she was actually one of the rumored finalists for the role while Singer was on board; the story was she didn't want to leave "Lost" and so we got Bosworth (bleh) instead.

The only potential "problem" with Lily is that she's already 28. If this is a new franchise, the WB may want to go younger, especially given the reboot direction. We probably need someone who's around 21 so that by the time three movies get made, the actors won't have aged too much.

That said, I've never been against an older Lois and Clark. Heck, if Hatcher wanted the role, I'd probably still want to give it to her :-)

I still would prefer the WB to get a AAA actress in Lois' role. Someone like Scarlett Johansson or Naomi Watts, but since that's incredibly unlikely, the WB may want to go for someone who's considerably younger (around 20-21) and cast Clark/Supes at aroun 23-25. Remember Kirsten Dunst was just 20 when she starred in Spider-Man.

Here are some contenders. They're around Dunst's age -- key differece IMHO being they can act -- I think Page or Watson would bring the most buzz; the others are known, though not quite like the other two. Stewart might be there in a few years, though.

(1) Ellen Page (21 years old) (My ideal pick)
http://filmonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/normal_epnet_tiff2007shooting_vistalux.jpg


(2) Kristen Stewart (18 years old) (Probably too young -- also oddly resembles Margot Kidder -- which might be good or bad)
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a217/rainbowsofdoom/kristen_stewart_1173995493.jpg

http://cm1.dotspotter.com/media/0/27/0/evan.0.0.0x0.432x324.jpeg

Someone like Scarlett Johansson or Naomi Watts, but since that's incredibly unlikely, the WB may want to go for someone who's considerably younger (around 20-21) and cast Clark/Supes at aroun 23-25. Remember Kirsten Dunst was just 20 when she starred in Spider-Man.

Here are some contenders. They're around Dunst's age -- key differece IMHO being they can act -- I think Page or Watson would bring the most buzz; the others are known, though not quite like the other two. Stewart might be there in a few years, though.

(1) Ellen Page (21 years old) (My ideal pick)
http://filmonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/normal_epnet_tiff2007shooting_vistalux.jpg


(2) Kristen Stewart (18 years old) (Probably too young -- also oddly resembles Margot Kidder -- which might be good or bad)
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a217/rainbowsofdoom/kristen_stewart_1173995493.jpg

(3) Rachel Evan Wood (21 years old) (She's dating Manson, so she has no problem with the dating-Luthor thing)

(4) Emma Watson (18 years old) (Would be an unconventional pick, for sure, but she's got the intelligent factor down)

If we are looking at this age group, lets just go with Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Or Torrey DeVitto.

If we are looking at this age group, lets just go with Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Or Torrey DeVitto.

I just disgree, NotFadeAway; I'd cast any of the above four over Winstead and DeVitto anyday. I'm of the mindset that Lois should be pretty, sharp, and smart. Neither Winstead nor DeVitto strike me that way, and their acting chops have much to be desired.

Listen, I get Winstead and DeVitto are attractive (and frankly, physically "hotter" than my four suggestions) but I want smart looking and great acting, too. The credits list of both of your recommended actresses range from unimpressive (Winstead:Live Free or Die Hard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Free_or_Die_Hard)) to mainstream yucksville (DeVitto: I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ll_Always_Know_What_You_Did_Last_Summer)). I don't want just a beautiful looking Lois; I want an intelligent script (ala Iron Man) that gives this actress a chance to mince words with Perry, Clark, Jimmy, Lex, whoever.

Page, Wood, Stewart, and Watson, on the other hand, are frequently classified as the very best actresses of their generations. I think any of these four would bring AAA buzz to the project.

Getting Page or Watson would probably land Superman on the cover of every single entertainment magazine in the year it comes out.

MEW for WW :up:

Whoops, wrong movie...

I agree MEW is smoking hot. Has she really proven her acting skills at this point though? I think WB can do better, whether it's Lois or Wonder Woman.

I agree!

I don't think MEW has received any significant accolades for her acting yet. I only remember her from her Disney debut in Sky High.

Batman has its stars in Caine and Freeman; Superman needs equal star power. You can have a young Lois and still get AAA buzz. My vote is for Ellen Page.

[romeogbs19]

I'm not one to praise the French, but I have to admit Eva Green looks awfully like a classic Lois Lane:

http://nymag.com/images/2/daily/entertainment/07/12/05_evagreen_lgl.jpg

She'd be an attention grabber but probably not the right actress.

[cryptic name]

I like Evangeline Lily, too -- she was actually one of the rumored finalists for the role while Singer was on board; the story was she didn't want to leave "Lost" and so we got Bosworth (bleh) instead.

The only potential "problem" with Lily is that she's already 28. If this is a new franchise, the WB may want to go younger, especially given the reboot direction. We probably need someone who's around 21 so that by the time three movies get made, the actors won't have aged too much.

That said, I've never been against an older Lois and Clark. Heck, if Hatcher wanted the role, I'd probably still want to give it to her :-)

http://i31.tinypic.com/20jntqd.jpg

the problem with going so young is that Lois should already be a famous/infamous investigative reporter by the time Clark joins the Daily Planet, so to me it would seem she should be at least the same age, or maybe a bit older than Clark. 25-30 would be the right age group imo. plus as far as multiple sequels go, an actress is going to change alot more between 20 and 25 than 25 and 30

[Puckenstein]

I'm of the mindset that Lois should be pretty, sharp, and smart.

...but I want smart looking and great acting, too.

All of this can be found in the package called "Rose Byrne."
With the added bonus that she's not a child.


http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b57/Puckenstein/RoseByrne3.jpg

Casting an 18-21 year old girl as Lois would be a bad, bad move, IMO.
And, just because of my own personal taste, if for some nutty reason
they were ever to cast Ellen Page in this film, I'd be terribly disappointed.
There's something about her I just can't stand.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Some horrible choices.

Lois shouldnt look like a highschooler. That's where Kate Bos went wrong.

[bunk]

I've never really been impressed with Bryne's acting, she's pretty meh. I haven't seen any of Damages though.

[kalelkilla]

Totally agree Man of Tomorrow...Rose Byrne is ok, but she isn't really that sexy...of course you should always just pic the best actress that resembles Lois...let's a get a WOMAN...

[metr0man]

The most important thing about the character is the Lois Lane attitude. A little spunk, a little attitude, smart snappy banter. Every good Lois has had it. Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, TAS Lois, Erica Durance (a mediocre actress who still pulls off the part because she has that Lois attitude).

Please stop with all of these generic NO-PERSONALITY actresses. It's irrelevant if she looks like the Lois from TAS.

Suggestions that I have liked because I've seen them exhibit Lois-like personality in other tv/movies: Rachel McAdams, Rashida Jones,

However neither is *quite* right, but they are acceptable. Still waiting for that right personality.

It's too bad she's older than the role right now, because the perfect Lois would have been Mary Louise Parker, star of "Weeds" and many other shows/movies.

[NotFadeAway]

Evangiline Lilly
Sophia Bush

[kalelkilla]

Evangiline Lilly can't be cast if Josh Holloway is going to be Superman, otherwise she would be a great pic...lol...she is the best pic so far on this board. Rachel McAdams is good too because she is a great actor. Enough with the high-schoolers PLEASE...this is starting to get creepy.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'm not against a youthful Lois or a 21 year girl who looks like she's older because movie's are fiction, but I don't want a girl that looks like 21 because there are no 21 year old ace reporters. That type of thinking is what got us Bosworth, a good actress that was completely wrong for the role.

hey if there is a 9 year old girl who looks like a good mature lois and knows how to act.....then cast her.

Bosworth wasnt wrong for the role she had to play. She was young, but we didnt get a fiesty Lois Lane, we got a motherly one. She played that part well.

I want an adult-badass-with strong personality Lois, I think Jodi could be OK. Just because she is a murderer/bad girl on Prison Break doesn't mean that all her roles have to be villains.

Casting Lois is pretty much the same as Superman/Clark Kent. You need an actor who can effectively convey both maturity and a sense of fun with the character (as well as chemistry with one another) - which adds insult to injury when ya hear people suggest some of these actresses who are young enough to still be Huggies models.

Hm.. i never liked a Lois Lane super-model kind of person. I dont see her as a super hot woman as many try to see her.

I still like...

even

Keri Russell (also, 32)

depending on who gets cast as supes, might even be to old

but, unless (as some people already said) we get an older actor playing supes,(which I highly doubt) I don't see someone like Lena, working

I still like Lizzy Banks. She's got a lot of good movies under her belt now, and in Seabiscuit, her appearance screamed a nice old school Lois Lane. I honestly think she's the best choice out there.

Considering Brant was a little more than a bit part and Lois Lane would be the leading lady I think that would work.

Its thinking Bale or Jackman are going to take on another superhero that I think is a stretch.

[romeogbs19]

I've never seen Rashida Jones but she certainly looks like she can play Lois.

So yeah, yeah, my suggestions are too young, I know -- I was really only focused on getting a good actress who we could get three great movies from (I SO want another Superman franchise). Anyways, I like some of the suggestions here.

Personally, if I could go back in time (say 15 yrs.) I would have loved to see either Mary Louise Parker or Diane Lane play the role of Lois. I think either would have been a perfect choice! Of course, there's no way the WB would cast Parker or Lane now (Both are their 40s, I think). Between the two, Parker always struck me as a perfect Lois.

Anyways, this is a rant -- these are NOT suggestions :-)

I think the difficulty shows what one poster already said -- NO ONE in mainstream Hollywood right now really seems to be right for this role.

Elizabeth Banks is a great choice but like a lot of people I don't know if too many actors like to play various comic book characters



what the hell is with the 'they already had a role as a comic book character, they can have no other' thing? First of all, it makes no sense. If an actor is perfect for playing the roles of two different heroes, then go for it(obviously not at the same time). The concept only really matters if there are going to be interfranchise crossovers. Which is moot in this case, seeing that its a DC property, not a Marvel one (where crossovers of her previous role could possibly occur, which it won't) Secondly, in this case, her role in Spiderman was so insignificant that it shouldn't matter.

I think she's the best cantidate out there IMO. I'm tired of unkowns, or relatively unkowns. Hire some real actors, and make a real movie

[NHawk19]

What about Mila Kunis?

[Superfreak]

Its thinking Bale or Jackman are going to take on another superhero that I think is a stretch.

not really. Only if they do so within the same universe. But if Bale went to play a marvel role, I'd have no problem with that. And if Jackman went to a DC role, I'd have no problem with that.

I mean really, these are actors playing parts... they are not the heroes themselves

Its not about having a problem with it, I dont mind that they take on other comic roles, but its about the actor looking for range. After playing Wolvie and Batman, are Jackman and Bale actually even care if a superhero movie comes along their way? It could go either way really, but I dont expect to see either ever in another comic movie, especially Bale who has always been more devoted to Nolan than Batman. The script or character would have to be absolutely phenomenal for them to agree. Ben Foster on the other hand has played 3 supporting characters in comic movies. He hasnt added to the iconicism like Jackman and Bale and hes had to share the screen with the actual superhero parts, so if he gets a main comic hero role Id say its more than possible he'd take it. Or like Rebecca Romijn going from being unrecognizable as an important character in an ensemble cast of X-Men to a supporting character in The Punisher.

Hurm, acting-wise who knows (I did like her in That 70's Show :hehe:)

[Dark Knight]

I've never seen Rashida Jones but she certainly looks like she can play Lois.

So yeah, yeah, my suggestions are too young, I know -- I was really only focused on getting a good actress who we could get three great movies from (I SO want another Superman franchise). Anyways, I like some of the suggestions here.

Personally, if I could go back in time (say 15 yrs.) I would have loved to see either Mary Louise Parker or Diane Lane play the role of Lois. I think either would have been a perfect choice! Of course, there's no way the WB would cast Parker or Lane now (Both are their 40s, I think). Between the two, Parker always struck me as a perfect Lois.

Anyways, this is a rant -- these are NOT suggestions :-)

I think the difficulty shows what one poster already said -- NO ONE in mainstream Hollywood right now really seems to be right for this role.

Dennis Quaid for Jonathen Kent and Diane Lane for Martha Kent

Yeah she would be a good choice for Mercy.

I think the candidates for Lois should be between....

Anne Hathaway, Rose Byrne and Rachel McAdams.

[bunk]

Thirded. She does look evil. More importantly though, she's a nobody. They should be looking for a bigger name to play Lois.

[Frodo]

I can't see Lois but I do think she'd make a great Ursa or Mercey Graves. I see her as someone who could go toe to toe with Superman as opposed to needing his help .My choice is still Malin Ackerman even if she's Silk Spectre.Lol.:cwink:.

[Quantum39]

http://images.starpulse.com/Photos/Previews/Lena-Headey-f01.jpg

Lena Heady (300, Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles)

Great actress, hell of a look. Could bring a real maturity to Lois.

[p4poetic]

I think if they want to cast older people (and I think they should) Jennifer Garner is a good pic, if they want to cast younger, then Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley isn't going to do any modern day films, lol.

From the looks, GREAT CHOICE.

ps: I don't find Rose Byrne attractive at all and i'm tired of seing LOIS in the movies portrayed as such an average ugly woman. I mean, WTF! He prefers Lois over Wonder Woman for CHRIST SAKE! She must be at least more than pretty.

Lois isn't supposed to be drop dead gorgeous. Beside, I guess its unrealistic for Clark Kent/Superman to fall in love with a 'regular' looking woman? That said, Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, Erica Durance, Noel Neill, Phyllis Coats and Kate Bosworth are all exceptionally attractive in various degrees.

I'm thinking about the General audience. I cant stand watching Margot Kidder for example because she is damn ugly!

Um...

Margot Kidder wasn't the prettiest Lois to ever exist, but she sure made you believe that she LOVED Superman...she couldn't function when Superman was around and with Clark she was so sure of herself and strong willed, but with Superman she became a little girl...that was missing in Superman Returns and we need it back...if anything we need that aspect of the relationships back... She isn't the prettiest but she might have been the best...

[SuperDaniel]

Exactly. Teri Hatcher was the same way. They're my two favorite.

Where are you guys getting this idea that Lois Lane has to be crazy hot? She's always just been pretty not drop dead gorgeous.

[Abadleon]

watch your mouth, if you can't deal with people's opinions, then leave here. She does look evil
I didn't want to say that as an insult, I just meant that saying that "she looks evil" is a poor argument against her IMO. Probably Teri Hatcher looked evil for many of you, but I am an adult man, so I liked her and found her attractive, much more than many of the girls posted here who look like teenagers or the nice girl next door. I just thought that "she looks evil" was a childish comment like if he would be afraid of her or something. But I didn't want to offend him, it was just a comment. That "she looks evil" would be something positive for me, I would like a woman who could "intimidate" Superman like Teri Hatcher did, not somebody like the girl who played Lana in Smallville who was almost disgusting even being so beautiful.

About if she is a nobody, well, many of the girls posted here are not exactly superstars, they only appear in shows that probably are less popular than Prison Break, obviously if the WB guys only want big names, then we would have to mention exclusively superstars.

[kalelkilla]

Lois needs to be hot. end of discussion. but more importantly she needs to played by a great actress...someone that plays smart and headstrong with clark, and melts and becomes a little girl when Superman is around...Margot Kidder and Teri Hatcher did that very well...and hot damn Erica Durance looks good...

[OwlBoy]

Yeah, giant pics of scantily clad women aside, Lois is a normal looking woman which is why her personality is far more important than her looks.

[Zephyr Alexian]

I never bought Durance as Lois. Lois seems like an attractive woman in a reserved, intellectual sort of way. Durance seems like she would pop out of someone's birthday cake if she didn't have the Smallville gig.:o

Though it's been said many times before, my choice to play Lane would be:

The looks are just as important. We're not in radio here. Her outwardly appearance has to reflect the personality within, or the "image" is ruined.

[OwlBoy]

I'm not saying cast an uggo but she doesn't need to be ridiculously good looking, I don't see why she can't look just as pretty as young woman you'd actually see working in an office in a major city. All of them are pretty but none of them are supermodels.

[cerealkiller182]

Amy Smart is an interesting choice. I do think shes an underrated actress.

Never said she "needed" to be ridiculously good-looking. But at the very least, she has to be attractive.

Speaking of major cities, I know there are a lot of hot women in the office world. Just because they aren't in hordes, doesn't mean they don't exist which some would like to believe.

[az824]

a woman can be hot and represent lois too, if you cant see a really hot woman be and still be a top ace reporter than your vision is limited

and if smallville has a really hot lois that also acts well in the role than the movie version should be a better and hotter actress. why settle for something less

And yet we don't see alot of raven haired girls suggested for the part. Give me time!

[Thespiralgoeson]

It's technically possible for a women with supermodel looks to be an ace reporter, but how likely is it? Have you ever seen a reporter that looks like Heidi Klum? Women who have the looks to be models or lead actresses almost always pursue careers in those fields; not because they're less intelligent or capable than any other woman but simply because they can pursue careers in those fields.

She can be hot, yes, but any woman who wants to be taken seriously in an industry full of men is going to try to look more serious and respectable than hot. They want people to know she's a serious journalist, not a supermodel. If they always looks too sexy, they're going to have a very hard time getting their male co-workers to see them as peers and not simply objects to lust after. See Eva Green's character in Casino Royale.

Besides, Lois to me always seemed like a character who is not overly concerned with her appearance. Someone said here earlier that they always saw Lois as very attractive, but in a sort of intellectual, reserved way. I agree with that sentiment.

That doesn't mean the actress can't be a beautiful woman; she certainly should be. But she needs to be believable too. Of the actresses suggested so far in this thread, I like Rachel McAdams and Amy Smart. I could see Jennifer Garner in the role too, although she wouldn't be my first choice. All three are very attractive, but still look like normal human beings; not as if they were sculpted by the gods themselves for the very purpose of gracing the cover of magazines in lingerie.

It's the same reason I wouldn't want someone overly bulky muscle-bound to play Supes. I mean, how many "mild mannered" reporters do you know look like professional body-builders? Superman should be a big dude with a muscular, athletic frame for sure. But he shouldn't look like Brock Lesnar either.

[p4poetic]

Where are you guys getting this idea that Lois Lane has to be crazy hot? She's always just been pretty not drop dead gorgeous.

Because people are always on the assumption that a female character always is extremely attractive.

[p4poetic]

You know who I think would be absolutely perfect?

Rashida Jones

http://ngoisao.net/News/Hau-truong/2007/04/3B9BE24A/rashida_jones.jpg

The only problem is that her skin tone is darker than Lois' and I'd hate to see her made lightened

I don't see the general public/mass media gravitating to a half black Lois Lane. I mean, there are fanboys who are still up in arms that Dean Cain as Superman was a quarter Japanese .

Marla Sokoloff! I remember her in Whatever It Takes with James Franco and Shawn West. I could entertain the idea of her being Lois Lane. And I've never seen any recent pictures of her, she looks much older (well duh)! What a different in 8 years, whereas James Franco looks exactly the same, lol.

[p4poetic]

Yeah, giant pics of scantily clad women aside, Lois is a normal looking woman which is why her personality is far more important than her looks.

LOL you just pretty much owned the embodiment of every "cast [female character] threads". Good on ya :cwink:

Thirded. She does look evil. More importantly though, she's a nobody. They should be looking for a bigger name to play Lois.

This kind of thinking is what gave us Daredevil, Catwoman, etc. Please explain tom e me the preference in casting 'bigger names' than 'nobodies'? Besides acknowledging that everyone starts somewhere, whoever can fit the role should be cast. It's quite an actual simple choice. Does it erally matter if you've ever heard of them before? If anything, that is an advantage. You will see the character as themselves, not said actor as said character.

[ragdus]

There is no need to cast "names" in movies that can draw by their title alone. Bale was a peripheral celeb to Americans before BB. Ditto Hugh Jackman and X-Men. But these two shined because they executed well a character that the target audience adores.

Superman will bring in moviegoers. Lois Lane will bring in moviegoers. Only cast the names if they truly fit, TALENT-wise (like RDL in Iron Man and many of the supporting actors in the current Batman franchise, for instance).

When your criteria for casting breaks down into names and looks you end up with Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, Punisher, etc.

Michelle Monoghan or Susan Ward would be good choices. I personally would pick Ward if they were my two choices.

[kalelkilla]

Minka Kelly from "Friday Night Lights" would be a great pic if they want to go younger for Lois

[Ethermatic]

Susan Ward is a sub-par actress in my own opinion. As for Minka Kelly, I'm pretty sure one of the many problems some people had with Kate Bosworth was her natural youthfulness. Someone a bit older and more mature seems likely to me.

Personally, I think Zooey Deschanel is the best choice I've seen.

[NeoRanger]

Having just seen "The Happening" last night, I'll admit Deschanel is quite charming, both with her performance and her looks. I wouldn't be completely against her.

... But, having said that, she does give off a little *too* much of Margot Kidder.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Given how the Wonder Woman project is dead, Taylor Cole may be an excellent Lois Lane actually.

^ She'd be the hottest Lois Lane, that's for sure. :woot:

[FilmNerdJamie]

Personally...I'd say Elizabeth Banks - damn-solid actor, right-age, looks the part and has chemistry with Routh.

Awesome suggestion! She's great!

[cerealkiller182]

Banks is lana lang to me

[OwlBoy]

Still reppin' for Rashida

[az824]

Susan Ward looks good but i dont know her acting range so i cant say, so im gonna jump on the Taylor Cole band wagon

Radisha Jones reminds me too much of maggie gyllenhaal, and i just dont like her looks

Would love to see that.

[kalelkilla]

Everyone here, looks great for sure, I think what people on the boards fail to acknowledge, is the fact the part of LOIS is a very comedic part...at least in the Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, and Erica Durance interpretations...these women are FUNNY first and foremost and sexy later. Lois is supposed to be funny when she loses her cool when Superman is around...she is also supposed to be funny while she is bossing Clark and Jimmy around in the office and giving Perry White some serious headaches...one of the MAJOR reasons Superman Returns was received lukewarmly by the audience was because Lois wasn't FUNNY. She was dead serious and broken hearted...it worked well for the story Singer and the rest wanted to tell, but I think having Lois so "blah" and melancholy really took some of the wind out a Superman movie's sail...So I'm just saying whoever plays Lois needs to be able to pull of a comedic part...a good actress would be able to pull this part off easily...go for the best actress...

Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (Prison Break).

You could have mentioned it in your post that you snagged that from my thread. lol

Nice choice. I've only seen one other poster ever suggest her, but I like her as well.

[NotFadeAway]

The great thing about Lois Lane is that there are a ton of good actresses out there who can play the role, unlike Superman.

There is comedic elements to the character of Lois Lane, so we do need to find someone who can handle the humor. We nee an actress who can do "dramedy".

[OwlBoy]

Dramady thy name is Rashida Jones

[NotFadeAway]

Dramady thy name is Rashida Jones

How old is Jones?

[OwlBoy]

She's 32

[NotFadeAway]

She's 32

Hmmmm.

I really like Jones as an actress, and would be fine with her being cast. But I don't know about her age. If this is an origin story, which I believe it will be when everything is said and done, she will probably be too old. But as I said, I like Jones for Lois.

I agree, only there needs to be a fine balance with Lois' character. You need that comedic/lighter side to her b/c otherwise she'll come off as too *****y. But you don't need that much.

I can definitely see more than one actress in the role of Lois (McAdams, Banks, Beckinsale)

Even if its an origin I doubt that anyone in the cast is going to be younger than 30 except for who ever plays Jimmy or the younger Smallville aged kids if they're in it.

[cerealkiller182]

Superman and Lois Lane should be adults not interns. 30-35 or so would be perfect

Agreed about the balance in her personality.

Yeah, I can see a ton of actresses as Lois. Jones, Beckinsale, Banks, McAdams, Lilly, Dushku, Kirsten Bell, Rhona Mitra, Taylor Cole, Rose Byrne, Keri Russell, Jordana Brewster, Amanda Righetti, Sarah Michelle Gellar is she was still good looking, if you wanted to grab a Charlize Theron you could. Charisma Carpenter is sadly too old. Honestly, there are so many good choices for Lois that I cannot decide.

In 5-10 years, Leighton Meester will be f-ing perfect. In 5-10 years, that is.

O'Keefe would make a good Lois, but she'd be a KILLER Wonder Woman.

[dark_b]

why is always everyone saying'' i dont know since its an origin movie the actress should be younger''.

are they casting lois lane for her young years when she went into kindergarten or will she be a BIG reporter working for the daily planet?

this is 2008. go buy a magazine. all of you. and look at girls at the age of 20-30. forget the magazines. use google. after that look for 30-40 year old actors.
what do you see? do you see women looking like they did in the 70's and 80's?

lets just face it. women from 40 until 55 will look amazing in hollywood. some more some dont.lois lane doenst need to be from 25-30 for a new franchise.

dear lord. its not like they are casting mary jane for a hihghschool scene

[Spider-Fan83]

there's quite a few names that I could see working, some mentioned here, some that I've already mentioned

but, I think I'v narrowed my top 2 as being

Michelle Monaghan an Anna Friel
(not necessarily in that order)
I like different things about both so, I don't really like one over the other

I guess, the main difference would be that Monaghan, is quickly develop in to abit more of a, known, kinda name
where I'd still consider Anna abit of an (semi) unknown

[smoothbody]

if Superman is Brandon Routh, Lois Lane has to be Ann Hathaway!!
a close second is Selma Blair!!

[kalelkilla]

I have to agree with the Anne Hathaway...she has been suggested before, is a great actress and can be funny...

[Double Down]

I'm in the Anne Hathaway camp, too. Especially with Brandon Routh.
