Superman's Posey Talks Kitty

Parker Posey, who will star opposite Kevin Spacey in Bryan Singer's upcoming Superman Returns, told SCI FI Wire her role as Lex Luthor's girlfriend builds on a similar character in Richard Donner's original Superman movie. At a party for her latest film, Adam & Steve, Posey said in an interview that she gets to wear stylish clothes and carry a Pomeranian pup through most of her Superman scenes as Kitty Kowalski, girlfriend to Spacey's Lex Luthor.

The role is similar to the part of Eve Teschmacher in Donner's movie. "I'm in the Valerie Perrine part from the original movie," Posey said. "She is ... the girlfriend of Lex, and of course, he wants to take over the world."

But the character is less evil than one would expect, Posey said. "He wants to destroy the world, and she doesn't want to," she said. "She [has] much more conscience about the world around her. She is into pretty things and money, but Kitty has a heart. And, yes, she has a change of heart. ... She is torn between materialism and love, but Kitty kind of wakes up. It's cool." Superman Returns opens June 30. —Mike Szymanski

Oh great, another Teschmacher...

****.

 

[ReTrO JuNkIe 42]

Yeah i wonder if she'll be taking some kryptonite off of supes in this one ?

 

[Man-E-Toys]

i was alway worried about her character. she sounds really campy.

 

[Shamik]

"...kind of wakes up..."

I hope that doesn't mean she takes the kryptonite knife out of Superman's back so he can save her mother in Hackensack.

 

[dark_b]

i can not belive that singer is copying everything from the S:TM.

you all have to agree that this strange that he is using everything from the first movie.

 

[Showtime]

I knew panic would set it. We don't know what she is going to end up doing. I think she will be more of a challenge to Lex than Eve T. was.

We all know that she won't be saving Superman in this one.

there is no panic. it is only interesting that she mentioned teschmacher

 

[Scooter]

It's not interesting at all. It's completely expected at this point.

Won't be long now 'till we see Kal Penn wearing an Otisville shirt...

 

[Showtime]

^You said he was using everything from the first movie.

Uh huh. Her role is going to be far different than Mrs. T., she is a challenge and sometimes an obstacle to Lex.

 

[dark_b]

^You said he was using everything from the first movie.

well at some point hes doing this. he is using almost everytinhg that happened in the first movie for SR.

 

[Scooter]

Uh huh. Her role is going to be far different than Mrs. T., she is a challenge and sometimes an obstacle to Lex.

You mean, like saving Superman from Lex's attempt to kill him?

 

[Showtime]

How do you figure that?

 

[Shamik]

Somebody else is going to be saving Superman this time around, not Lex's gf.

 

[Scooter]

Then how, exactly, will she be a "challenge" to Luthor?

 

[Showtime]

Then how, exactly, will she be a "challenge" to Luthor?

There are many ways she could challenge Luthor, why does it have to be saving Superman?

 

[Scooter]

It doesn't have to be. I'm asking you what else she'll be doing.

 

[NotFadeAway]

This will be by far the stupidest chracter in the movie......not only campy, but Parker Posey is ugly as hell and a god awful actress who should not be in a film of this magnitude!!!

While Im geussing he is also campy ( S:TM retread ), atleast Kal Penn is entertaining.

 

[Scooter]

I like Posey, I just don't dig the Luthor's GF character, as it's shaping up to be.

 

[Showtime]

I meant her character is more of a challenge towards Lex both emotionally and intellectually then Mrs T. was.

 

[NotFadeAway]

right....can't wait to see how fleshed out that story arc get!!!

 

[Scooter]

It would be really great if Luthor strangles her to death in a fit of rage. Would seriously diminish the camp factor...

 

[NotFadeAway]

That scene SHOULD happen, but it won't!!!
