Sequels Cast a teenage Jason

[Superfreak]

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

Heck i didn't even know that he bares a good resemblance to routh until i googled that pic .

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.

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

so who should be cast as the Son of supes?

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

Forget that boy band pillow biter i like Dakota Fanning as teenaged Jason.

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

no no no no no no no no no never do you understand never.

 

[SatEL]

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.

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

 

[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.

HOW ABOUT THE CORPSE OF RIVER PHOENIX.

 

[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!!

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 )

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

you get two,... two jasons in one 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?

haha thats what I thought when I saw ads for hairspray.

 

[matthooper]

How about Jar Jar Binks. Both characters are utterly pointless and we'll never see either ever again.

 

[Bad Superman]

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