Superman Returns The Official Brandon Routh IS Superman thread.

[King Krypton]

Passing by and thought I'd mention something you guys might be interested in....

I showed a girl (who obviously isn't a comics-nut, but like everyone else in the world, she has a sub-conscious idea of what the general superman looks like) the pic of brandon routh standing against that grey wall (in the official press release on this website). She replied, "Woah! If Superman was real, that's what he'd look like."

Bulls-eye.

We should all hope this movie does well for Superman's sake above all else. Even though I find myself having doubts, I still hope it scores well. The character has been shat upon for long enough, a popular move along with an already popular TV series would be welcomed

hope everyone will get this right.

 

[superfever]

Well done.

Nobody thinks Routh is a great actor. I mean, come on, it's not like anyone was petitioning the guy for the role, much less had anyone even heard of him before. It's impossible to judge his acting, because we haven't seen him deliver more than, what, 10 lines of dialogue? However, we all just want to give him a chance to prove himself before writing him off, simply because he IS in the role, it's his, no questions about it, and just by that fact, he's key to the movie's success. And ultimately, we'd all like to see this movie break every kind of record (which no one can say it won't, seeing as we have NO reliable info...not even a correct WB press release!...on the film's content yet). Why do we all want to jump on the bandwagon? Not because anyone thinks Singer is the second coming of Orson Welles or Stanley Kubrick...But because - dammit - the public needs a good dose of Superman again! It's been long enough!

I ask you, all the people who complain about "narrow-mindedness" in this forum...Is that so wrong?

hope everybody can understand it.

why can't a 26 plays 36 while a 28 can play 18?

And that picture was before he got ripped for the role ...

'Maarten' says the Superman cast is starting to arrive for filming:

Got some information from the MX newspaper here in Melbourne, dated February 11th, and I thought you might be interested;

"US Actor Kate Bosworth, tipped to play Lois Lane in the new Superman flick, has flown into Sydney.

Filming is not due to start until next month so it seems Bosworth has some R&R planned."

Stay tuned for lots more on the production.

i JUST SAW BRANDON IN THAT GILMORE GIRLS EPISODE HE WAS PLAYING ASHTON KUTCHER FROM DUDE WHERES MY CAR ? I TOLD MY MOM THAT'S SUPERMAN SHE WAS LIKE THE MOVIE IS DOOMED THIS MORRON CANT BE SUPES NO ONE CAN REPLACE CHRIS REEVES .

Why does everyone feel the necessity to bring their mom's into it??? My mom says this, my mom says that...who gives a **** what your mom thinks?!

 

[patrickbateman]

I Told My Mom I Trust In Singer She Said In That Case U Can Wait Till Next Year

Well keeping the whole mom thing out of it. I guess it could be a way that gerneration could view the film. I certainly have had mixed feelings from people that are in that age range. I could see some reluctance in accepting anyone other than Reeve in the role. But that is a problem that the film will face no matter what.

cause our moms represent the fans that made Chirs Reeve an icon , our moms were those females who went crazy for Reeve as superman. Hence its good to get reviews from the older generations escpecially if singer's superman is in touch with the original superman.

 

[Puckenstein]

Tell your mom to get over it.

 

[patrickbateman]

Tell your mom to get over it.

told her a long time ago when smallville started both she and dad we like this chick aint gonna be superman, when Bradon became superman they were like this guy is the love child of that pearl harbour guy + the nutcase from 70's show.

 

[superfever]

Should Routh be,,lol

whose superman body is it?

 

[Murdough]

whose superman body is it?

Looks like a manip of a shot from that World's Finest trailer Collora did as a follow up to Batman: Dead End.

 

[superfever]

wow, that's the body builder champion!!! this is difficult to get into that size. i thought we don't need that 'BIG'.

 

[KAZUYA]

Ya hes big,, its a pic from comiccon.
I think hes too big there,, I could have made him smaller but I wanted to go for a TAS feeling.

 

[TheDarkRevenger]

I think everyone is dissing Routh WAY too much. I mean come on, It wasn't long ago everyone HATED the choice of Tobey Macguire for Spiderman for fear "He could pull off Peter Parker, But he can't pull off Spiderman himself". Just because he's a newcomer, doesn't mean he'll suck. Nobody even knew who Chris Reeve was in 1978, Now he's regarded one of the best actors in Hollywood history. Calm down and give the guy a chance.

 

[Phaser]

Not again...

 

[superfever]

btw, i want him to look BIG too as superman.

 

[Thunder Emperor]

this thread is not need, and all routhies should also stop their usless welling remakes. when the have no defense on issue with the movie.
