Be afraid of the balding big lipped and huge shnozz wrath of Super-Cage.

I wonder which color kryptonite makes the hair fall out.

Blue kryptonite...

I remember hearing about this in '98, and even then, I knew it wouldn't work.

From all that I read, this is what Superman's 'proper' costume would have looked like, except the costume didn't cover the hands. No boots, no belt, no shorts.

I actually love the Superman"Lives emblem. In the traditional colors (ala my custom costume pictured below) I think it really looks awsome.

I think the photo that was taken of Nicholas Cage in the suit was only preliminary and used for seeing how his body would need to be worked out and to see what design would fit his body type. (Think Christopher Reeve screen test, but with Superman Lives logo.)

Eh.. I cant see Cage as superman. That wouldve been odd. Superman was always the tall, sculpted, and hunky to the ladies type. That worked, as hes supposed to be this almost perfect god like being from another world.

Thank God indeed. I mean who the f**k ever thought of casting Nicolas f**king Cage as Superman?

Cage looks too old (even in 97)..he isnt the superhero type. Im glad it never came to fruition.

Superman is a certain type, let's face it. And needs a certain type of actor to bring him to life. Cage didnt even have thick enough hair.

In the words of others here--Thank God it didnt happen.

I also like the traditional colors on the suit. Although I did love the silver S used for poster of the 1978 movie.

Well, he is the dark, grizzly type however (IE. Ghost Rider, even though he's not really the best example of a super hero)

Tell me about it.

 

[PSU442]

i don't think a pic exists... i'm betting wizard did a manip

 

[Super Kal]

SUPERSEBAS did a manip of it once... somewhere in the Superman forums.

It does exist...I remember Nic Cage talking about it on Leno a short while after the pre-production was shut down...

 

[PSU442]

hmm.... well, that'd be cool. You got to figure screen tests exist, etc. They were weeks away from principal photography if i remember correctly

 

[Kevin Roegele]

Regardless of whether or not you consider Cage/Burton a good team for Suprman, you have to admit it would be intriguing to see.

[kal-el1990]

[jrd550]
