News flash!

Now if we could just get denzel washington in this somewhere..Perry? Lex?

 

[Puckenstein]

Definitely an origin, as the casting call is searching for infant twins.

 

[Rust]

Twins?

 

[Puckenstein]

Yeah, twins. When working with kids, it's often best to use twins because they can be a pain in the ass.

 

[The Shield]

Definitely an origin, as the casting call is searching for infant twins.

Interesting...

edit... true on the twin acting. They have to do it also for regulations on child labor laws. Kids are only allowed to work so many hours at a time on set so they have a twin to share those needs for screen time.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Twins?

One acts while the other sleeps, then the ole switcheroo is pulled.

Denzel as Perry would be perfection.
After all the great casting that has already happened, Denzel would be the icing on the cake.

 

[Sabaoth]

Twins?

Perhaps in this version, Kal-El has a twin brother, also rocketed to earth from Krypton, but the twin is found by the military, who perform unspeakable experiments on the child and ultimately, we end up with Doomsday or Bizarro, Superman's imperfect twin.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I have to admit, though i'm not usually one to go for an actor who looks nothing like the traditional image of the character, Lennix would be exciting as Perry White.

Combine his authority in the Matrix films and his father type figure in Dollhouse, and I could see it.

Lennix would be inspired casting as Perry. I'd love to see that.

I sure hope not. Sounds like the too-radical thinking of Burton.


But yeah, twins are obviously easier to work with in that regard. Never thought of it.

 

[GreenKToo]

i'd like Denzel as perry, and even tho I said i'd prefer a huge name for Lex, I think i'd like Fassbender. Either Him or Law.
( my #1 choice for Lex is still Isaacs tho )

 

[Rust]

I never got the hype around Denzel. He's pretty awesome in Glory, but he seems a bit overestimated. Maybe it's just me.

Me like Fassbender.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

Yeah, twins. When working with kids, it's often best to use twins because they can be a pain in the ass.

and child labor laws only lets children work so long...they did the same thing in Full House. Come on people...common knowledge about children here

 

[GhostPoet]

Picture was fine.

It just seemed archaic going for the classic look of the spandex with the underwear on the outside.

It just looked dated and bland by today's standards.

I agree. The underwear on the outside just looks BAD.

 

[Doc Phosphorus]

No Fassbender. I love the man but I don't want him crammed in every comic book movie. That's how people get overexposed, and he's too much of an international treasure. He needs to make a few more movies as Mags, and then be BOND, DAMNIT!

Denzel would be a great Lex, even though I really want a Lex closer in age to Clark.

Perry...hmm, I dunno who I want. I kinda still want Hugh Laurie; I haven't been able to shake that suggestion since SR. Although he might make an equally great or better JJJ.

kinda like Ryan Reynolds playing Deadpool, Green Lantern and then getting his own Deadpool movie...what comic character is he going to play next? I'll pass...no thanks

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

Yeah, twins. When working with kids, it's often best to use twins because they can be a pain in the ass.

More often than not it's because of child labor laws which limit how much time they can work.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

More often than not it's because of child labor laws which limit how much time they can work.

Yep. That's one of the key reasons why The Twilight Zone tragedy happened because kids were illegally hired.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Fassbender IS Magneto. Full stop. He shined in that film and no doubt Fox will keep him.


Warners wasted him in Jonah Hex.

Exactly! I think that Lennix would be a perfect mentor/boss to a young Clark Kent.

And just picture him saying "Great Caesar's Ghost..." Perfect.

These are from Production Weekly via a Superman Facebook page, where it states the cast (rather than roles "offered"):

[Mr. Thing]

Hell of a cast.

Wait, Funeral?

 

[Rust]

Still dont necessarily buy it. How long has the production been called Autumn Frost?

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Quite awhile.

 

[Mr. Thing]

Yeah I remember seeing it in reports quite awhile back.

No reason not to believe this...until someone says so.
