BvS Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 3

[Dk1201]

how about Tom Hardy

By the structure of that sentence, you seem to be claiming that, being "a credible source for the quality of movies," RT is laughable. Why so?

If, however, you meant that RT in not a "credible source for the quality of movies," then what is? RT merely records what critics said about movies, and allows site visitors to add their thoughts. It doesn't claim to do anything else.

What exactly are you looking for?

He probably meant that RT's critics are very inconsistent and are all over the place when it comes to their reviews. Which than puts in question the actual credibility.

 

[regwec]

Fine, but then what would be "a credible source for the quality of movies"?

The collated opinions of critics and consumers seems like a reasonable starting point, since "the quality of movies" can only be subjectively assessed and consensus is all we really have.

Who else but yours truly?

 

[hopefuldreamer]

One of these days, i'm going to come in here and find out whose playing Lex Luthor, instead of just fantasizing about it every time I load up the thread

Oh and as for Edgerton-Aquaman?? Ive been saying that the past 2 years!

So have I! How will we ever figure out who said it first?

Who else but yours truly?

You guys can rule out Cranston: http://variety.com/2013/legit/news/...r-his-broadway-bow-in-all-the-way-1200888097/

VERY subjective. So in the end....RT should be taken with a grain of salt?

Was anybody still buying the idea that Cranston had a real shot? I like him, he's Super talented but he's a T.V actor. Mark my words, unless they have a Heath Ledger type of surprise happening Luthor will be played by a movie star as usual in Superman films. That's why I don't see Jon Hamm happening either.

 

[shauner111]

Good. It would have been cool but i want him as Gordon and a 40-ish Luthor.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Hate to say I was right all along. ..

Just when I was right about Superman having no trunks.
When I was right about Joker being the big bad in B:AO.
When I was right about Bruce retiring and Batman being made a martyr.
When I was right about Bale not coming back...

YOU ALL CALLED ME CRAZY!

It should be taken for what it is- a site that collates and averages different opinions. It doesn't represent itself as anything else.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Which A-listers aren't shooting anything in February? That's the real question. Of course the other one is are they going older or younger for the character? So many questions!

This is by no means a support for Cranston, but who says they need Lex in February?

 

[shauner111]

It doesnt rule out Cranston at all. Even though i dont think he's playing Lex.

 

[Rodrigo90]

How long does that play last til?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Even before the play I said that I didn't think they were going to get a T.V actor and I still don't. I'll be eating crow if I'm wrong but I'm sticking to that opinion.

I believe that we will know who Luthor is before filming starts regardless of when that actor starts filming.

 

[NoLaNitE007]

Yeah. It is not the gospel and it should not be taken as such.

Take it with a pinch of salt.

 

[Shamike1218]

I said this back before we knew anything about MOS and assumed Lex would be in that film, and was surprised to hear on one of Kevin Smith's podcasts that he agrees, but I like Bruce Willis for Lex.

 

[MrsKent26]

What if Lex isn't in this movie at all? What will people do then?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Bruce Willis would be terrible choice. I hate when people pick actors just because they are bald.

It's so lazy.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I felt after seeing MoS and before all that Batman la-di-da that Luthor seemed ripe to introduce in a big way. This movie needs some good news and I'd qualify the character and hopefully the actor chosen as good news.

 

[regwec]

Yeah. It is not the gospel and it should not be taken as such.

Take it with a pinch of salt.

Yeah. Nobody is taking it as gospel, because the site itself does not make any representations of opinion. It records the views of others. It claims to do nothing other than record the views of others. There is no need for you to apply salt to anything, because it is apparent that the site expresses no view of its own.
