I'll start off with mine naturally:-
Clark Kent/Superman - Henry Cavill (he's 6'1, 24, he's got black hair, blue eyes, film experience, he'd make a much better Superman than Batman) Jor-El - Gabriel Byrne (I was gonna say Anthony Hopkins, but I've found out he's gonna be 70 on New Year's Eve, and I don't think they should go with someone that old, digital effects or no digital effects. I personally think Ian McKellen looked like a waxwork in the opening scene of X-Men 3) Lara - Catherine Zeta Jones Lex Luthor - Ed Harris/Daniel Day-Lewis/Viggo Mortensen/Jason Isaacs (yeah, I know, I can't make my mind up, oh well, best to keep your options open) Perry White - R. Lee Ermey/Brian Dennehy/Kurtwood Smith (he's funny)/John Mahoney (he's funny too, just watch Frasier) Jonathan Kent - Jeff Bridges (yes, I know, Iron Man, but, come on, JEFF BRIDGES)/Michael Douglas (possibly? yes? no? maybe? no? ok then)/Martin Sheen (now isn't he rather an obvious choice? he has that Glenn Ford charm and humour) Martha Kent - Frances McDormand/Meryl Streep (why not?)/Glenn Close (am I the only one who used to confuse Meryl Streep with Glenn Close when I was a kid?)Frances Conroy (reminds me of Phyllis Thaxter)/Julie Christie Lois Lane - Scarlett Johansson (the only one I can really see in the role, myself, sorry) Jimmy Olsen - Emile Hirsch (I think he'd be perfect, but he's not quite 2 years younger than Henry Cavill, I think there should be more of an age gap between Jimmy and CK, but then again, Brandon Routh is only a coupla years older than Sam Huntington) Edit: Damn, I forgot:- Director - Peter Jackson/Christopher Nolan/Martin Campbell (he's brought Bond back to life, TWICE, maybe he should be given a shot at Superman)/Marc Forster (he's doing the next Bond as well as having done Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland and Stranger Than Fiction)/Paul Haggis (he wrote the best Bond yet, IMO, maybe he could helm Superman's rebirth)/Steven Spielberg (yes I know, El Payaso, but I think it'd be really good, the guy has made some ****ing masterpieces)/Alfonso Cuarón/Mike Newell (anyone?)/Gore Verbinski/**** off Ang Lee, if it were up to you we'd see Superman wetting his red trunks/back slowly out of the room Singer, you don't even get a look in Writer(s) - Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens & Fran Walsh/Christopher & Jonathan Nolan, David Goyer/Paul Haggis (see above)/the guys who wrote the first Pirates, too many to mention Composer - John Williams Last edited by BruceBanner; 07-10-2007 at 10:41 AM. |

The cast was fine aside from Lois.... Not that Bosworth is a bad actress, but she doesn't fit the part completely.

The Superman board seems to have come to pretty much of a standstill tonight. I've been hitting the refresh button on and off for about an hour and ... not much activity. Oh well, guess everyone's gone off to bed. I may as well too, just gone 5 in the morning where I am and the sun's coming up. Maybe when I check back in the morning some more people will have some more good things to say about my cast. And if not, maybe they'll phrase their criticism more constructively than
I mean, I know I can be harsh, and yeah I guess rude if ya wanna call me that. But at least I give reasons when I disagree with something. Anyway, I've had my little mini-rant. Nite nite everyone. |

Just found out there's a thread just like this in the Superman sequels section, so I guess this one is redundant. Oh well, sorry I set it up, I've posted my choices at the end of the other one now. Nite nite.

Scarlett looks too young and is becoming a tad overpraised IMHO.

a reboot that has an older superman already established, one that has him in his late 30's early 40's.
Superman/clark kent: Clive Owen Lois Lane: Sandra Bullock Lex Luthor: Billy Zane or Bruce Willis Perry White: Ed Harris Brainiac: Hugo Weaving. Metallo : Kiefer Sutherland. Jor-el, in flash backs only: Mel Gibson.

Well thats a hard one. Okay it's a restart so making the characters younger would make since instead of you know, making the characters look much younger even though 5 or 6 years had passed.
I would get 26 or 27 year old Kristen Bell as Lois Lane. She's in a little watched cancelled gem named Veronica Mars. She is pratically playing a young LL on the show and she does spunky better SMG. (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) The Superman thing is hard. I liked the lead guy's look in the IMHO awful Texaschainsaw Massacre the Begining. Don't know how tall he is, though I could deal with the actor not being the tallest if he looked good other wise and played the role to a tee. I honestly don't have anyone for Lex but I can tell you one thing I wouldn't have got Kevin Spacey for the role. Personally I would get a guy that is about only 10 years older than Superman and who is a good actor, obviously and is hansome...Hey a girl has to have eyecandy too! The villain would be Metallo...because I fell in love with the character after watching the animated series. Just get a big guy for that role. As you can see I don't have everything together yet but those are kinda my choices |

A reboot differs from a remake or a prequel, in that the latter two are generally consistent with the previously established continuity of the series; with a reboot, the older continuity is largely discarded while the new continuity is declared the official canon.

I'd like Jim Caviezel for an older Superman.
