Amy Adams is Lois Lane: - Part 6

[Micromind]

Darker haired Lois Lane was more popular.

So Supes put the moves to Lois, Lana, his cousin, a fish and Cleopatra? That old hound dog.

Stunning...she looks show much like Nicole Kidman in these pics though lol

 

[DCnightwing23]

She actually reminds me of Alice Eve, which is wonderful because i love both actresses, but come on the similarities are obvious

And Alice Eve is turning 30 soon... Just saying. That's for the people still thinking Adams is too old to play Lois Lane alongside Cavill. Amy is looking rather stunning

 

[MydnightPhoenix]

Alice is pretty and looks nothing like Amy. And turning 30 is not the same as being in your mid 30s and playing opposite of a guy who is like 7yrs younger. I wonder how this Alice chick would look if she had dark hair.
As for the hair color discussion, more than anything about it is the fact that the color is all wrong, there are different shades of red and I hate Amy's shade; not just the color but the shade as well screams something other than Lois Lane.
I agree that hair color does give a certain impression in film, there is a reason why most leading men who are deemed attractive by the female populace do not have red hair. Everything about Amy is this movie for me screams Disney Princess, not Lois Lane; which is probably another reason people keep saying she looks more like Lana Lang, not only the hair the the image she is conveying.

There are some recent pictures of Amy where her hair looks darker. So we will have to wait and see how it looks on film.

you know the pics I posted were from last week.......and then on Monday she was on the Tonight show and the only difference was her hair was in a ponytail......its not going to be "ANY" darker whatsoever unless they darken it digitally

it depends on the lighting, Her hair looked darker in the November 14th pics to me.

I don't care one way or the other really.

I don't know, I don't know so much about stereotypes in terms of Lois' hair. I suppose traditionally blondes are fun, light hearted and ditzy, redheads are passionate, sensual and firey and brunettes are smart, intellectual and somewhat opinionated (I suppose you could say, Rapunzel, Jessica Rabbit and Belle, all Disney examples.)

I'd like to think Lois is kind of a mixture of all the stereotypes, she has her lighthearted and comedic moments like a stereotype blonde (see Smallville), she can be very passionate and firey, especially when it comes to the things she loves, then she can be intelligent and rational minded like a typical brunette.

I kind of agree that when you give characters a hair color, especially when it comes to things like comics or animation, you are subtly giving hints about who that character is. Look at Disney for instance, they are all designed to suit their character. Belle would be the one who is most like Lois Lane (IMO) and she too, is a brunette.

And yeah... sorry for the Disney tangent, I guess I've always been a Disney freak.

She looks good in the pictures but I agree, long strawberry blonde hair does kinda imply softness. Which isn't to say you can't have a firey character with strawberry blonde hair, but in terms of Lois Lane, it doesn't get across the look that the character needs IMO.

I'm not overly concerned about how people perceive Lois on film if it is simply due to the color of her hair. Like you said, the character has been known to exhibit characteristics which conform to stereotypes for all three phenotypes based on hair color: brunette, blonde and redhead. In reality, that's common for most people; and women are known to dye their hair quite frequently anyway. That's one of the many reasons I take most stereotypes with a grain of salt. Human beings are just too complex; and Lois Lane is a good example of a character who runs the gamut in that regard I think.

Having said that, as long as Amy Adams is able to do the character justice in terms of personality traits and overall behavior, I'll be happy. And it should be noted that although she doesn't look exactly like LL in the comics, Adams actually is a physical match on some levels. She's an attractive white female with light eyes. (That's Lois.) Sure, I would have preferred to see the character appear on film with darker locks, but it's not a deal breaker for me for the reasons I mentioned above.

And if the general public starts to associate Lois Lane's fiery temperament with Amy's red hair, so what? You can't really control that sort of thing, and it's not like the character's appearance will change in the comics as a result of the way some people view the character in Man of Steel. I actually read an article a couple of years ago pertaining to the way Christian Bale's brown eyes gave off a dark intensity of sorts ("better suiting Batman") in contrast to Michael Keaton's blue eyes, which the author described as cold (even though Batman has always been blue eyed in the comics). To me, that sort of mentality shouldn't overly influence the casting process for films like MOS or any other for that matter. Of course, that is merely my opinion, and I'm sure others like HS may disagree.

Moreover, to clarify a point I made earlier, I personally think it's a really odd thing to associate strawberry blonde hair with naivete. I certainly don't think it's on par with racism; and I never said that. There really are people out there who genuinely believe that certain races are less intelligent than others. Does that make them racist? Not necessarily. Although racism could very well be a factor, thoughts like this emanate from ignorance. So if someone was to say that Lawrence Fishburn isn't a good fit for Perry White simply because blacks are stereotypically viewed as being less smart than whites, a statement like that would be immediately shot down. Yet, it's perfectly fine to say that that Amy Adams might not be the best fit for Lois Lane just because strawberry blondes are stereotypically seen as naive? (Naivete isn't exactly a positive attribute, btw.) I don't accept that.

Again, though, if it was up to me, a brunette Lois and a white Perry would have been ideal choices. And that's not because I care how the general public will perceive the characters for whatever reason, it's because I personally want them to look as much like their fictional counterparts as possible. That's it in a nutshell really. I'm selfish like that.

All things considered, this film is lucky to be graced by the presence of two such talented individuals in the form of Adams and Fishburn. If they devote themselves to Man of Steel much in the same way they've done to other films previously worked on, we're in for a real treat.

Remember when people were saying she had a pooch in that set photo?

Yeah, it wasn't.

I don't care one way or the other really.

the November 14th pix are either from just before she went on the Tonight Show or just after, either way its the same time so yea

At this point since there filming it doesn't bother me, but I still would have preferred Lois with either black, brown or even light brown hair, I like red hair dont get me wrong, but not for Lois Lane (yes I know the character has had red hair before but that does not mean I liked it lol)

Henry Cavill speaks some words about Amy.
WOW! He's looked "the fighter".
GB: You’re also working with Amy Adams, who has some remarkable variety in her work coming off of “The Fighter” and with “The Muppets” on the way.

HC: She’s a wonderful person with really good, high energy. I’m really glad she got the opportunity to do “The Fighter” and show her chops as an actor.

Some new photos

I'd really love to see a live action catfight between Lois and Lana. Adams could play them both, too. One of these comments is a joke. Which one? You choose....

 

[Herolee10]

Heck, I just wish that we'd get at least one official photo of Amy as Lois before the year is over.lol

Amy's playing Lana?! That makes sense...

 

[Blue Sugar]

She is so beautiful.

And her hair looks great.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Instyle Shoot = Sexy!

 

[Crazymaverick]

Amy Adams is gorgeous! She looks at least ten years younger than she actually is.

I'm not saying her hair color was changed between those times. I'm saying the color can look different depending on the lighting of a location. It depends what kind of lighting or filters Snyder may use. She could apear to have a darker shade of red. I didn't say black I said darker.

And given the fact that some people were saying that it wasn't that Lois had red hair, but the shade of red she had in the alaska pics, I thought I would comment about her hair looking darker than that.
