Right there with you, regarding Hammer. I saw the movie a while after I'd first read the online fan buzz about him in the role, but during the movie I couldn't see a single thing besides height that would make him an excellent Superman.So I finally saw "The Social Network." Good flick. Andrew "Peter Parker" Garfield was surprisingly good in it.
Anyway, after seeing the movie, I don't understand all of the Armie Hammer for Superman love. He portrayed the twins well enough, but I can't see him as Superman. Sure, he's tall, but I dunno, he never came off "imposing" ya know?
To me, someone like Joe M. from True Blood, who I DON'T think should get the part either btw, has more of a physical presence. There are times on "True Blood" where he actually reminds me of Welling.
Just my $.02.

ya SR colors the worst. heck even back in the red/blue jacket/shirt outfits sv pulled reds/blues off alot better.
To follow up on the confusion surrounding my tip off about the Superman production timeline:
The scenes in Smallville aren’t the first thing in the movie but are going to be filmed first for convinience and won’t be a major part of the story but a key part.
I believe that the stand in for Metropolis will be Chicago and NOT Vancouver. This is one of the key reasons why The Dark Knight Rises has moved to Detroit because TDKR doesn’t have as many ariel shots as Superman and so the audience will not know the difference. The ariel shots in TDKR will be CGI enhanced as will the Superman shots.
There will be a Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year breaks during the shoot. Shooting in 2011 finishes on something like December 15th and won’t resume until January 5th.
The foreign shoots are for a montage scene and will feature Clark Kent. I believe the story says Iraq and Afghanistan but filming won’t take place there for obvious reasons and a stand in country will be chosen. The actual foreign places are being decided now and it may even film those desert war scenes in the US.
The UK studio is Shepperton Studios at Pinewood I believe and is where the Daily Planet interior scenes will be filmed as well as others which I won’t say.
