look for WB to cast the biggest name they can afford
they gotta offset their unknown lead with someone in order to sell their movie (uh executives)

Even Nolan with all his power has to keep batman(of all people) off set with bankable love interests. If hathaway hadn't been cast in bats, she'd be a sure bet(which is a hell of a lot more natural than her as salina Kyle).
But then again that doesn't stop these studios from casting Evans and Reynolds in 3 comic films a piece(four for evans)

If lively wasn't shoe horned into greenlantern wb would have put her in this.

curious, does WB have any other contractual actresses...
personally it should have been dormer as catwoman and Hathaway would have sold this movie.

anyways, like the original movie I would like to see a seasoned lois, especially if kent is in his early years, anything else and you get a bosworth repeat.

No offense, but I don't believe that list at all.

And McAdams wasn't on the shortlist for TDKR.

And to be fair, you were completely wrong about Cavill being out of the running himself. So excuse my skepticism.

Why would he take offense if you didn't believe a list contained in an article he didn't even write...

So because he was "wrong" about Cavill, the articles he posts from other websites are somehow tainted. That's a horse of a different color.

What the?

Kristen Stewart: Too young imo.

Malin Akerman: Not the worse choice, but I think we can get much better.

Dianna Agron: Very pretty, but would look young next to Cavill. I'm hoping she is MJ in future Spidey flicks.

Jessica Biel: Just not a fan of her work so far.

Rachel McAdams: She's good imo.

McAdams would be the best out of those, too, imo. It all comes down to chemestry with Henry. Biel would be good too because she is super hot and looks older. I dont want Lois to be too young this time. Not the same mistake with Bosworth...

Showtime

01-31-2011, 10:54 PM

You would think Akerman has some sort of inside shot because of her work with the director, but it didn't work for Goode. Kristen Stewart and Dianna Agron make no sense to me, but either did Blake Lively with Lantern and she was cast. If it were me, I would go with either Biel or McAdams.

For someone who considers himself to have sources, for all I know he could be the one called 'Hollywood Insider' for the site. But yes I could be wrong as well.
So because he was "wrong" about Cavill, the articles he posts from other websites are somehow tainted. That's a horse of a different color.

That's what happens when you report or "hint" to things and put a lot of stock into it. It's why Jett is an unbelievable source now, Jett's been wrong too many times about the Batman movies by Nolan that he lost what little credibility he had.

Especially for one who's first inside hint has been an actor(who's now official) being out of the running for a small rumor. As for if he's been right about other hints, I haven't heard or read any of them and he wouldn't provide any examples.

So yes, his credibility is pretty shot for me, and I'm sure some others who remember.

Right, but I can understand if Jamie was simply posting his own thoughts on the matter and you chose not to believe it, but it is a link to a site talking about said subject. The Jett analogy doesn't really work here.

Anyway, that is the list we have from that website. We've already heard Biel before from multiple reports, Akerman I believe as well. Twilight chick is a new development, as well as Glee chick. McAdams it the fan favorite of the bunch, so if you go by the Cavill Theory Of Relativity, she has the role...

I have friends working on both X-Men:First Class and Spider-Man right now, and one thing I've learned from their experience working in the film industry is that a lot of these "inside sources" on the internet really have no idea what they're talking about. They sometimes have pieces of a much bigger picture, but because they've been "right" so many times they think they have the whole picture, or that they really have an inside knowledge of how things are working. They really don't.

And this isn't a dig at Jamie or anyone. Just a general statement, mostly because sometimes I notice fans latching on to certain internet personalities and websites as if they're somekind of godsend. And I often see people believing a story they read on a "trusted" website instead of what the people making the film say straight from their lips.

Well, you were doing well with your argument up until that last line. People making films lie all the time, on every level. Whether it be to protect their investment or protect their interests. You can't take a lot of what the creative team says about a film at face value, you always have to investigate it. There are so many examples of this I don't know where to begin.

Pumpkin_Bomb

01-31-2011, 11:20 PM

Of the ones I've seen listed, at least looks-wise, I think Evangeline Lilly has the right kind of look for Lois. A lot of the women people are choosing either look very young or very model-ish, neither of which I feel really suit Lois. She should look somewhat seasoned and serious, since she's a career woman, and she should be very attractive, sure, but not in a way that suggests that she primps and obsesses on her looks for hours.

Obviously, looks are far from the most important thing, but that's my two cents regardless.

Oh, and PS: It's perfectly all right to just say you don't think someone looks right for a part. You don't have to say laughable stuff about these women being disgusting, or horse-faced, or whatever. We all know you wouldn't kick a single one of them out of bed, so stop trying to look like a cyberpimp.

I'm not talking about a creative team lying. And I'm not saying that they never do lie.

But, there have been MANY times when a "reputable" site has reported something about a film being made, and people believe their story because they're considered a legit source. And the sites in question believe their stories 100% as well. But in reality they're so far off it's laughable to those who really do know what's going on.

Hey Guys,
I think Olivia Wilde and Rachel McAdams would be ideal choices. They both have that command to their voice.
CHeck out think LInk about the description for Lois Lane.. I totally agree with
http://www.moviehole.net/201136341-lois-lane-rumours-already-flying-about

"Lois Lane is a hard role to cast, maybe even harder than Superman. She’s such a complex character that Lane – far from a beauty queen but attractive, encompasses a wad of attitude but never so much that it’s a turn-off, and treats Clark rather awfully sometimes… and yet you find it hard to hate her. The actress needs to be someone highly-expressive with attitude up the wazoo, and maybe most importantly, someone that doesn’t reek of sexiness – Lane, after all, was merely an ‘OK looker’ with more fire in her belly than a flamin’ hot body. Courtney Cox would’ve been great… fifteen years ago."

HOw about Kristen Bell or Amber HEard??

Yeah , assuming the list is true , Those would be my rankings as well, followed by Akermann in third , however as usual it'll most likely come down to which actress has the most chemistry with Cavill, and far as that goes who knows. The actress who ends up having the most sparks with Cavill may not be everyone's first choice so, we'll have to wait and see.

Whoever gets picked though has my full support . I'm gonna give them a shot and refrain from making pronouncements like ,"She's gonna suck". If there's anything I've learned its that you can't judge until you see the performance.

I hope that list is fake. Anyone else find it depressing that when compared to the candidates TDKR was working with, this is like casting a commercial in comparison? I realize Snyder doesn't nearly have the same amount of clout and respect as Nolan, but c'mon. It's not like you don't have the guy as a damn producer. That has to count for something.

herolee10

If I'm not mistaken, sine Cavill had been considered a long time contender and fan favorite for the roll; I wonder if we should be looking at the actresses who have been also considered as a long time contender/fan favorite for the role of Lois; someone of course who's still reasonably of the right age to play the character.

romeogbs19

02-01-2011, 12:40 AM

I like McAdams a lot (esp. after Morning Glory) -- that said, I'm not exactly convinced she's the best option. She is older (32)-- though again, no idea whether that matters. Lilly is 31 so she's got 4 years on Cavill, too. I don't think the age difference matters here but if Snyder/Nolan are thinking more than 1 film (which given the copyright dispute may not be feasible), then going with a 31/32 year-old actress might pose a slight dilemma, especially given they went with a late 20's Superman.

I'm not familiar enough with most of the other actresses being mentioned. Olivia is a great actress and she'd be an excellent Lois -- I'd be happy with her, too. Not liking Stewart, Kirshner or Bell -- none of them seem to fit the role much. Russell would work, but she's almost like a Bosworth clone (sure, better actress, but I'd rather they go for someone else -- also, Keri is 34 years old).

I still like Alison Brie. Great young actress but still relatively unknown. I don't know if Snyder wants to cast a huge actress in the role of Lois Lane. I always thought the way Superman was cast was to use relatively unknown actors for Clark and Lois and then surround them with big names. Nolan mentioned something akin to this in his LA Times interview a while back. Alison would be a good fit in terms of acting ability and she can easily play the sexy part along with the serious.

She also doesn't look bad at all next to Cavill. Threw this together real quick:

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/9480/castchoice.jpg

BTW, I like Stroup in terms of her looks -- she's a bit young (24) -- however, I don't know anything about her acting abilities. Brie is on Mad Men and Community so she can do the serious and the comedy -- great range, IMHO, and perfect for Lois in that respect.

So is it safe to assume that these factors will attribute to who they'll end up picking up as Lois Lane?:

1. Age
2. Acting Ability
3. Chemistry Present with Henry
4. Availability
5. Popularity with GA/Size of fanbase
6. Looks

I might put height in there as well because some of the casting choices are too short for Cavill IMO.

Unless they're actually midget, I dont think height is a concern when it comes to Lois.

02-01-2011, 01:54 AM

I think lois needs to be someone who actually looks like a woman a more known actress than Cavill as well as having the right height for Cavill. I think Emily Blunt fits the bill, she is lois lane through my eyes :awesome:. She missed out on catwoman so maybe nolan may have whispered a few words into snyders ear.

Some of the girls mentioned look like teenage girls not woman.

Olivia Wilde i could live with but that forehead of hers screams bosworth.

I like Rachel McAdams, she would be a good lois. But im all for Emily Blunt.

I think that the best choice mentioned in the last couple pages is Ev Lily. Before I was rooting for Ashley Greene however I don't have any legitimate reason for choosing her other than I think she is super attractive and likeable. When I try to think of it logically the less I think she would fit.

flickchick85

02-01-2011, 02:51 AM

Wow, that list is pretty terrible. The only one on there that seems like a good fit to me is McAdams.

The Bell option is...interesting. She's a fantastic, underrated actress (the 1st season of Veronica Mars alone has pretty much made me a fan for life, no matter how many crappy movies she does that I refuse to see), who has proven she can pull off the fiery attitude of Lois probably more than anyone mentioned in this (new) thread...BUT... she's just so damned tiny. And her voice kind of matches her size.

She basically has the opposite problem I see with Evangeline Lilly, who looks PERFECT for Lois to me, but hasn't convinced me she could pull off the personality. If we could put KBell's talent/attitude in Lilly's body, we'd have the perfect Lois, imo. So to me, neither one is a great fit for the role...but they both have their "pros."

I'm all for Ashley Greene, but she's a bit too young. She's gorgeous and a good actress, but at 23, she'd be fresh out of college.

If we had an older Superman I could see my dream casting of Alana de la Garza, but since we have a 27-28 year old Superman how about:

Missy Peregrym.

She's 28. She looks the part. And she can act with the proper "spunk". Missy all the way.

I like Biel but..I don't know. In recent years, she hasn't been doing so well career-wise and the last time I saw her in a movie (The A-Team), she was blah.

She's a beautiful woman and she can be great..only when she wants to be. I think Lois needs natural charisma, so the actress needs to be both smart and sassy without feeling forced. (unlike Bosworth)

Micah12345

02-01-2011, 04:20 AM

I wouldn't cast her either, but if it's true she was runner up for catwoman, she probly has a decent shot. I wouldn't abhor it, I'd just expect a very bland, safe performance from her.

I have to agree. They need to have chemistry and they also need to look good together. I always hate when they don't get it right the first time and then in the sequel you have a new actor or actress playing the part. Although in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight I'll accept it because I absolutely can't stand Katie Holmes!

The thought of Kristen Stewert as Lois Lane actually fills me with rage. Not crazy about Biel either. Though Stewert would definitely bring her teen following with her. Kunis is another terrible choice and too young looking. I think Evangeline Lilly isn't bad. McAdams is okay as well. Olivia has a great look but is almost too pretty and I'm not sure about her acting.

Ursa

02-01-2011, 06:54 AM

I think they'll cast an American actress, because of some people who are complaining about Cavill being British, and so it's gonna be a more popular actress, not a completely unknown.

From the rumours, I think the best choice is Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She is American, quite well-known, talented, she has the look and makes a beautiful couple with Cavill.

Biel is pretty, but I don't think she "matches" Cavill. McAdams and Lilly would be great, but they have a quite large age difference and they are Canadians.

I really don't believe they'll cast another British in a main role, so Blunt or Knightley are out of question.

Kristens (Stewart and Bell)...no comments...

Please Snyder, Nolan and WB, look at Mary Winstead!

IF TRUE, expect it to be either Biel or McAdams.

It just seems that Team Nolan had Hathaway, Biel, and McAdams circled from the get go for either Catwoman or Lois. With Hathaway choosing Catwoman, I just think it's a no brainer that they're either going with McAdams or Biel.

Showtime

02-01-2011, 09:37 AM

I can actually see Jessica Biel getting this. She was the runner-up for Catwoman, so Nolan and WB, obviously, like her. If Snyder does too, she's in.

Good thinking. That is how I feel. She would be following a similar path as Cavill.

She was a finalist for Catwoman in "Dark Knight Rises", they sent her the "Justice League: Mortal" script and coveted her for the role of Wonder Woman.

Cavill actually had the role of Superman years ago, and was a finalist for "Batman Begins".

Weird.

If that list has any validity, I like McAdams and Biel. The rest I either don't know or don't like for the role.

I really have to say I especially don't like the Kristen Stewart rumor. It has nothing to do with Twilight - she won me over as an actor with her role in The Runaways - but I just can't even remotely picture her as Lois Lane. Maybe she could shock us all, but I just don't think her talents would suit the character in the least.

Anyone for Rebecca Hall? How about Diane Kruger, might be too old plus she's blond, but I can imagine her beside Cavill.

Here, here! I love Rebecca Hall. Though the mention of her name in this thread tends to garner crude comments by people who think that every actress in these movies should look like a Maxim model.

Personally, I think Rebecca is lovely and is one of the most talented actresses out there right now. I would love to see her play Lois Lane.

Well, all this talk is getting crazy. I trust Snyder/Nolan to pick the actress with the best chemistry (whoever that is). I'm not against anyone here. I think McAdams or Biel could work just fine. Biel would definitely be an interesting choice, but the woman can no doubt act. She can certainly "look" and play the part, too. As a brunette, she looks Lois to me (and she's only got a year up on Cavill so age isn't a problem).

02-01-2011, 11:42 AM

Go with whomever has the best chemistry with Cavill, and whomever best fits the character they wrote. Don't cast the role based on who fits the character relating to the comics, go with who is best for the individual story they want to to tell. That said, it is hard to go wrong with Rachel McAdams, long considered to be the next big actress. Hatheway has stolen some of her thunder, but it still isnt really close. While Kate Winslet seems certain to be the next Merrill Streep, Hatheway will be more Sandra Bullock, while McAdams gets to be Julia Roberts. McAdams possesses rare charisma and versatility.

I would agree-it is going to either Jessica Biel or Rahcel McAdams...Hopefully McAdams, for obvious reasons (Nolan had her read for TDK to), but she has been hesitant to take part in big franchises. Biel really is not that talented of an actress. Everything seems forced, nothing natural (except TCSM, she was excellent in that). Hmmm, IDK. I guess Biel prob. has it in her, but I'd bet McAdams is gar more likely to deliver an excellent performance.

McAdams also seems far more Loisy than anyone else. I.E. I could easily imagine McAdams delivering an Oscar worthy performance with a sound script (like the entire cast of TDK did, for instace)

the original lois personified this
terri hatcher elevated it
durance is wasted on smallville

alot of the choices I see being tossed around just don't really exude this, especially beil.
personally I think McAdams has the best shot as creating a traditional lois.

Jessica Stroup aswell

I'm telling you. It's between Biel and McAdams.

Only because those two have been circled by Nolan for his film. There's got to be some bleed over to Snyder's.

Kristen Stewart is such an odd choice. I don't mind her as an actress but she doesn't look someone who could play an 'adult' per say. She still looks like she can play teens easily.

The more shots I have seen of her lately, I think she could actually pull it off. I think with her and that Glee chick involved, the thought process might be, "Let's get the Twi-Hards or Gleeks on board. Brings a whole new audience.

That being said, if I could choose the reality of any of these candidates being cast. Money would be on Biel.

The mere fact that Gosling and McAdams were in the Notebook, a chick flick that actually made DUDES cry, gives them a free acting pass on anything.

Never saw The Notebook (I avoid Nicholas Sparks adaptations like the plague), but McAdams was amazing in Time Traveler's Wife. Both that and her State of Play roles convince me she has range. But she's awfully good at playing sweet, spunky women...

I have a feeling the actress who gets the Lois role may be as unexpected as the Henry Cavill and Ryan Reynolds announcements. There are several actresses who'd do the role great -- and I think the finalists from the SR castings is probably going to bleed over to Lois Lane. I wouldn't mind having Keri Russell, Emily Blunt, or Rachel McAdams nabbing the role.

Not sure about Biel though. I can't envision her as a Lois.

J.Howlett

02-01-2011, 12:58 PM

Russell's too old, even though she doesn't quite look it. Stewart's too young and I'm pretty sure she's not going to want to do another franchise.

I always thought Routh's wife, Courtney Ford, was pretty perfect for the role but there's been no mention of her. McAdams just seems to fit the role like a glove. I remember when they were casting for Lois in Returns. My immediate thought was McAdams...even then.

Like Cavill, she just seems destined to play the role. It just makes sense.

That being said, if I could choose the reality of any of these candidates being cast. Money would be on Biel.

That's my thought as well. I feel like Stewart and Agron are studio choices, as they really don't fit with any of the other shortlist candidates.

I could see Akerman getting it, though I'd really rather not see her get it.

McAdams is the best choice of this list (not the best choice for Lois mind you, but the best on the list) and if this were three years ago....yeah, maybe. But I dunno, it seems like she's cooled off and that may give the studio reservations.

Biel has a great working relationship with Warners. But she doesn't seem like the type of actress Snyder would go for. I'm not crazy about Biel for the role. Biel is passable when she is an Adam Sandler movie or on TV. But when she is acting with a real actor or actress, she just takes all charisma out of the scene and can't keep up. That said, it feels like her career really needs this role, so I could see her agent pushing hard for her.

I'd say it'll either be Biel or Akerman, with Agron and Stewart being possible dark horses depending on how hard the studio demands it/if its a fight that Snyder and Nolan are willing to give in on. My guess, just based on gut instinct....Akerman.

I totally agree on McAdams. She did do Sherlock for WB. And she was quite good in that.

Honestly, Biel can't be a damsel in distress. Not saying that that's the Lois character but if you've seen Blade Trinity or the A-Team, she just looks like she could go toe to toe with any dude.

Slightly off-topic, but my two favorite choices to play Lois Lane (Rashida Jones and Zooey Deschanel) are playing a lesbian couple in the new Paul Rudd comedy "My Idiot Brother" that just premiered at Sundance:

Oh, and one more point for Rashida, but she's an actual comic creator in that she wrote the Oni Press book "Frenemy of the State" in 2009:

Out of this list.....Rachel McAdams all the way!

I see her and Cavill having great screen chemistry as well.

Seriously, if true, that would have to be the weakest bunch of actresses you could possibly target. McAdams is alright, Biel is average at best, Ackerman is probably worse than Biel, Stewart cops a bit too much flack for being in Twilight but is way too young, can't comment on the other girl, don't watch Glee. Not that there's many 20-something actresses that are genuinely good but still, you'd be better off going with an indie unknown.

02-01-2011, 02:38 PM

I think McAdams is by far the best choice. Probably the best actress out of the bunch as well.

I don't mind a slightly older actress. It will be hard to take lois seriously if they look like they're still in their teenage year.

Micah12345

02-01-2011, 02:39 PM

McAdams doesn't have a supermodel hotness, but she's very underrated as an actress, and can be much more charming than any of the other actresses on the list. It's hard to imagine KStew giving a performance that isn't awkward and half asleep. Akerman makes me cringe when she 'acts.'

Akerman, if she gets it, only gets it cause she worked with Snyder in a prior film, and she wasn't that good in it.

If it's down to Biel and McAdams, Id prefer Biel. I think shes beautiful and talented and dont really get the fanboy dislike of her. I like McAdams I just dont like her for Lois, she always seems way older than she is.

I Am Jack's...

02-01-2011, 02:51 PM

Out of that (disappointing) list of names, McAdams without a doubt would be my first choice. I don't think she is the best option for the role, but I think she could be very good, even great. Biel is a distant second, just not a fan of her, then Akerman, I guess. I don't know anything about Agron, but she looks way too young for the role, younger than Bosworth. Stewart, just, no. To follow the casting of Cavill with Stewart? No thanks.

So if it has to be one of the choices on that list, I really hope they pick McAdams. I would be disappointed with any of the others.

I'm sorry to go all fanboy-ish on people but to be fair Lois DOES have to be hot. She has to be that woman that men would strive to be with.

She is funny, intelligent, quick and sexy. She is the woman who can bring a Superman to his knees.

But.... she can't be a sex siren. She has to look like a believeable ace reporter and someone women can relate to as well.

I understand what people mean when they say Oliva Wilde is a little too.... sexy. It's kind of hard to explain.

I don't mean to bring her up again but I just feel Jessica Stroup has the look and appeal that women relate to. She can be tough and foreceful but still come across as a good person and she is sexy enough to appeal to men.

You need that balance with Lois, you can't have it all one way or all another way.

Agree with you on everything. There are some actresses suggested that I consider 'sex symbols', and that's just not what I want for Lois.

Jessica Stroup is 'cute' and 'attractive', but she's not overtly sexed up.

can we all just agree on Evangeline and be done with it?

I think she looks great net to Cavill, and there are parts of what i've seen of her style that i'd like for the role...

But there is something missing for me... the mischeivious fun side. I've never seen that glint in her eye, that sly/coyness, that 'i'm going to smile sweetly at you, then do the complete opposite of what you just asked me to' mischief that Lois always secretly enjoys.

I LOVE Alison Brie, but would she have time? She is already doing two TV shows. She can take roles in smaller films with a 30 day shooting schedule (which she'd only be needed for 7 or 8), but I question if she really has the time to take the female lead in a big budget, multi-month shoot project like Superman?

Considering they were adamant to cast a Superman who was 28-32 years old, they obviously want a mature cast.

Jessica, while completely lovely, is probably going to be playing High School/College age characters for a few more years, just like Emma Stone and Kat Dennings. And this is regardless of the fact that she's 24. You could tell me she was 27 and I'd feel the same way.

i don't disagree that she'll be playing college-aged characters for a while, but i don't think that's all she CAN play. it all depends on how mature she plays the character she's portraying.

02-01-2011, 03:46 PM

Did you watch LOST? That's Kate half the time to a "T".

I really don't agree. Kate was miserable 70% of the time, always pensive and serious. I don't remember her smiling a lot, and she always seemed to be sighing in some kind of 'i have the weight of the world on my shoulders' way...

She was sneaky, and she was disobedient, but she didn't have the quality that i'm talking about.

Basically Lois has to be HAPPY. Yes, not everything about her life is perfect, but she's enthusiastic and relishes in the adrenaline of her job's dangers, of doing things people have told her she 'CAN'T' do, and of beating other people to the story. It makes her giddy. She gets that glint in her eyes, and she grins, and she's proud of the fact she's pushed the boundaries again and gotten away with it... because she knows the lines she can't cross.

That's what was undeniably missing from Bosworth. Any Lois Lane who spends 70% of the movie looking pensive and sighing, is a bad Lois Lane.

But even Margot Kidder's Lois (who i'm not the biggest fan of), convinces herself it's okay to be on the bottom of an elevator with terrorists inside, climbing up the eifle tower, by repeating and spelling out 'Nobel Prize'.

I did a quick manip of the pair of Henry and Rachel. IMO they look pretty good as Lois and Clark. http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/9483/supermanhenryrachel.jpg (http://img52.imageshack.us/i/supermanhenryrachel.jpg/)

In regard to these shortlists, I have to say that Rachel McAdams is the best pick of them all. Again, I don't have any major qualms about the others, but if any of you have seen "Morning Glory," where McAdams plays a determined producer, you'll see Lois Lane to a tee.

Go to YouTube and watch some of the ads for Morning Glory and tell me McAdams isn't already the unofficial Lois Lane for this reboot.

I'd like to see her play Lois; I agree with others here that she does seem to have been destined to play the part and the wagon's missed her a few times. It's about time Nolan and Snyder got her aboard.

http://turbo.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2010/10/rachel-mcadams.jpg

^^ That's Lois Lane. Period. If Nolan/Snyder go with someone else, that's cool -- but if they do, I'll always wonder how much better Lois could have been if it were this girl right here.

Strangely, I think I like her even more because she reminds of the other perfect actress for Lois -- if this movie had been made 12/15 years ago -- Mary Louis-Parker. Both are solid actresses and they're pretty (not bombshell beautiful) but pretty in that they have the looks and sass, but also a wonderful charm and sharp wit.

I really hope it's not Biel. She is a terrible actress imo. Stewert is the go to girl but looks too young to be Lois. Though she would bring in a huge fanbase and guarantee that Superman was a success. McAdams is a little old but not a bad choice. Either her or Wilde.

Emily Blunt - Good Actress. Weird smile. Also British. Lois Factor 5.5

Alison Brie - Unproven actress. Doesn't stand out but doesn't distract either. Lois Factor 4.5

Malin Ackerman - Good look and decent actress. A little older but doesn't look it. Lois Factor 6

Dianna Agron - Good actress with a small following. Looks kinda young. Lois Factor 5

Yeah Stroup all the way please!

I do not think she looks or acts too young at-all. They can always dress her up to look like a successful career woman. I think what Stroup has is a really likeability.
Lois has to be someone who men and women really respond well to.

http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/7845/capturete.jpg

http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/672/capture1iw.jpg

People are gonna go to see Superman and Lois Lane, not any actor. The characters are the important factor here not a celebrity. While McAdams would be a really good Lois, she seems to me an already well established actress in Hollywood. Stroup has only really been in tv shows like 90210.

I'm always going to root for the underdog because I don't care about celebrity, or what an actress has or hasn't been in. I want to see the character or Lois played right. Stroup wouldn't need a huge salary, so that definitly saves money, I see McAdams needing a bigger salary because she's a MUCH bigger star.

Bosworth was 24 and looked like she was 17 imo.

Oh she looked 15 to be honest, but she acted like some overly condescending, middle age prude who I wouldn't save from walking in a puddle, let alone wrestle with an airliner for

I don't think age has anything to do with it, really. It's more about the portrayal. Bosworth was what, 24 when she did SR? And she came off like she was 45. I'll take someone with a little more charm and charisma over age anyday

If you mean Bosworth was "boring" like a 45 year old, then fine. But as to whether she looked like she was 45? Absolutely not.

And that was the problem with Bosworth. They cast a 24 year-old to play an older Lois, one who had already had a relationship with Superman, bore a child, and was without him for 5 years. Singer botched the casting on this character, and we saw what it could do.

The casting for Lois is very important -- and I agree it's all about the chemistry. Good actresses though (like McAdams and Hathaway) can create the chemistry when it's not there. Bad actresses just can't do it, and oftentimes strip whatever energy comes from those around them (i.e. Bosworth to Routh).

I would think McAdams can get the job done. Biel I have less faith in (and frankly, not as convinced she's got the right look/charm).

As for Stoup, I don't know enough about her. She strikes me as a little too young. She's definitely younger-looking and not sure she'd persuade me that she's a seasoned reporter onscreen. That said, I don't know. I'm basing my opinion solely on her appearance.

With the right makeup artists, though, I'm sure they could have her look 5-8 years older. Whether she can play that part is another question. We know McAdams can.

i'll repeat for the umpteenth time...this is the beginning of Superman, so Lois Lane might not necessarily be a seasoned reporter just yet.

Gotcha. Yup, that's what made the whole movie just not make any sense. Sure, Superman is fantasy, but given Singer was trying to bring the MoS into a real dramatic problem, it just didn't work when Lois looked like a girl who is in college. It appeared as if he'd banged her at the end of high school and split.

Didn't help that Routh also looked like a Superman who had just gotten into the suit vs. one who had been around for at least 5 years.

Man, whenever we bring up SR here, I'm always reminded at how many things in that movie just never added up. In the wise words of Patrick Star, "These words make my head sad."

They really need to give Lois PERSONALITY. In my opinion that's what really gives her and Superman chemistry. Lois is a trier, she does things even though she shouldn't, goes after scoops that probably ARE too dangerous for her. She has strong opinions on things, and is perfectly fine voicing them to anyone who wants to know.

Lois is the girl who can kick your ass at Halo wars, and will go in the ring to knock a wrestler out if she has to. She goes all gooey when she sees Superman.

But through all that she's LIKEABLE. Because Superman can see all her human vulnerability.

Bosworth brought NOTHING to the table. She was too flat and knew nothing of Lois' personality. Lois needs a real spark, fire and charisma.

Even kryptonians can see why Superman fell in love with Lois.

Jessica Stroup is the winner for me.

You can repeat it as many times as you'd like, but even with that reasoning, Stroup, along with the rest of the teen-looking actresses, are not right for Lois at all.

And what's your official source on that?

None of us know that for sure. You're just going off what some "insiders" reported.

The only official word we have is the one from Nolan's LA Times interview, and there he made it abundantly clear this was not an origin story. That's all we know for certain.

That Snyder cast a 27 year-old further makes it unlikely this is the "beginning" of Superman.

So, for the umpteenth time, and based on Nolan, this is NOT an origin story. That said, I don't think a 24 year-old is out of the running. All I'm saying is that her acting abilities are suspect and I'd prefer a more seasoned actress like McAdams.

She needs to be strong but not annoyingly so. You know what I mean when I say that.

Yeah, I didn't quite vibe with the "Stalker" Superman either, peering through to watch her and the family, sneaking in the house, it was all a little...weird, at least for me.

But really, Lois, and by extension, Bosworth's portrayal of her were the elements that brought the whole movie down for me, because a lot of it I really liked.

The action sequences (the few that were there) I enjoyed. I thought Spacey was good. I didn't even mind the suit as much as I did initially. But I just couldn't get into Kate, and without that, the whole crux of the film just fell apart, because so much was placed on it.

I didn't believe they were in love, and I definitely didn't feel any chemistry between her and Marsden. With so much emphasis on this love triangle, having someone come across so cold was the deathblow for my overall enjoyment.

I almost agree on this, but Lois is headstrong yes, but she does not have the strength to back it up and that's what I see a lot of people are forgetting. Lois wouldn't be able to hold her own in a fight against Lex, Braniac, Bizarro, hell even Mercy Graves.

She's a reporter who gets herself in trouble and does need saving; she's not a heroine.

If Kristen Stewart ends up being Lois..... it'll be like a geek holocaust. :csad:

I reallllyy hope Rachel McAdams gets the part...really hope. Shes been my top pick for Lois for a few years now. I really hope she gets it, shes very likeable as an actress & she is just the right amount of hot for Lois Lane.

Jessica Biel in my view doesn't have the right look.. nor, at least based on any of her other work do I think she has the right kind of charm for Lois Lane.. I'd be kinda disappointed if she lands the part ahead of Rachel McAdams.

Please don't mention Kristen Stewart & Lois Lane in the same sentence, she looks far too young & shes just not appealling in the role at all to me.

Henry Cavill & Rachel McAdams :up:
