Why is the studio hiding this guy? I don't quite understand why we haven't been given an interview or press conference to introduce the cast, especially Routh, to fans. When an unknown is cast in a role that is very popular, it's common for studios to allow him to do interviews and when a film of this large a budget gets under way, it's very common for the cast and director to have a press conference. I was watching a fluff show a few weeks ago and they had clips from a press conference announcing principal photography on the sure-to-be-lame "V for Vendetta" (and that's from the same studio). WB also had a big press conference to announce Daniel Radcliffe for Harry Potter. And of course that talentless whelp Hayden Christensen was schlepped around to the fluff shows to do personal interviews.

So I ask, what are they hiding? If Bryan Singer is so misguided on this film that he believes audiences won't believe Routh as Superman if they get any advance look at him or his actual personality, then this film is probably in bigger trouble than I have suspected (don't get me wrong, I like Singer and initially believed that he could do a great job on this film if he did an original film, but he's said and done many things that make me feel otherwise).

I realize that Routh and Singer are probably very busy and don't have time to do a press conference or interviews, but to have absolutely zip from Routh leads me to believe that the studio is covering up the fact that the guy has no charisma whatsoever.

And maybe your doing the ol' jumping to conclusions thing that many of us expect from people that are unhappy with the direction of this film...Do me a favor, watch the Singer blogs on BTN (Actual FOOTAGE of what is going on), erase the 'Rumors' from the last 2 weeks from your memory, and tell me that Singer is butchering Superman Returns...quite simply, you can't. You choose to invest a thought in rumors, but ignore cold hard facts and interviews with the Director and exclusive footage. It blows my mind what you choose to see and hear...oh well, one less person to stand in front of me on opening day.

PS. You ever thing the whole idea of Routh's unveling is meant to be a surprise? You don't think the name Superman is enough to keep this project at the top of 'Movies To Watch out For' lists for 06? Trust me, Brandon Routh will be a household name, in due time. It just isn't time yet.

Ha ha, not a bad job but derivative

It is so sad that after all of time, with us having the benefit of a hindsight that shows us the mistaken errors of societal discrimination and blindness, that we continue to repeat the mistakes of our past by judging individuals by individual traits rather than character integrity. It makes me sad to think that all those people throughout history that have fought and strove for freedom, respect, tolerance, and acceptance, have largely done so in vain.

It's a pity how bravery is made so easily impotent by ignorance. Gay or straight, does it matter. He acts -- that is his job. To act. Honestly, when will people start judging the merits, and not the traits.

What annoys me the most is that if this were us discussing Routh being a jew, or say black and we started throwing around deragotry words predicated upon nothing more than homophobia or some defunk right-wing fundamentalist ideology, the person would be banned for be derisive and offensive. Somehow, with homosexuality, it's different. Some people say homosexuality is disgusting. To me, it is how people treat, view, and judge it that is more disgusting to me.

Excellent post, bosef.

Hopefully, this will put an end to the recent, unsubstantiated and utterly rancid topic in this thread.

They're humans... what did you expect...?

 

[Ruthmarks]

We expect people to be better, I suppose.

Maybe it's too much to ask.

Yes it is too much... unfortunately it's been like that since thousands of years ago...

 

[bosef982]

Alas...

Sad thing is, as much as I hate to cut them a break and be generous, I venture to assume that these people aren't neccessarily homophobes or heterosexists, but just are so petty as to vindicate their supposed betrayl by Singer in not casting Welling that they stoop to such a low level. However, being that they are willing to use such a low level may actually prove my generosity largely undeserved.

And the sad thing is, I hear people say, "Oh there human..." It's ironic, especially on a SuperMAN board, that I hear such a thing. Why is it that humanity itself has become an excuse for failure, mediocrity, and mistakes, rathern than a reason for success, excellence, and wisdom? I just don't buy "they're human". Too me, if they were such, they wouldn't say so. Something is defined I believe by its greatest attainment, these people largely fall short.

water can carry a boat or sink it... ironic... no... natural... yes.

 

[bosef982]

Please explain that because...well, I'm hungover and really tired and I'm just not putting it together. And by the way, that actually is ironic because it's one thing that does two contridictory things. That's irony. The contrast drawn between the application of one subject.

 

[superfever]

most things on earth have two contradictory effects. gun can save but can kill. fire can provide heat/warm but can burn. book can open up our vision but can poison our mind/ mindset. and so on.

You guys may have already seen this (I hadn't), but I thought I'd post this pic of Brandon Routh here anyway:

Yeah I've seen that pic of him, people hate to hear it but he looks quite a bit like Reeve there
