Okay, that's it, he's going in my signature

And another pic for good measure

About the Ursa rumors, I find that completely false. The character Ursa was created in the 1978 Superman movie. If they want to make the reboot new and fresh, why use a character that wasn't even used in the comics originally?

The character Ursa is based off the character Faora. She was basically the same character with a different name, so if they do use an Ursa character, they should use her.

Here's my cast for The Asylum's Direct to DVD Supreme-Man! -

Brian Krause as Supreme-Man / Greg Bant, the Man of Yesterday!

Billy Zane as Lar Lunghoar, criminal mastermind!

Brooke Burns as Lucy Lines, Supreme-Man's love and The Weekly Orb's top reporter!

Lance Henriksen as Berry Baise, the editor in chief of The Weekly Orb!

Matthew Lillard as Tommy Joelsen, The Weekly Orb's youngest reporter!

Christopher Lambert as Mindthrad, an evil alien with only one thing on his mind - destruction!

C. Thomas Howell as Zar-Hel, Supreme-Man's father!

I'm still attached to John C McGinley playing Perry White. John really should've hit it big in films by now, and I think he fits Perry perfectly. Perry is kind of a sarcastic tough guy. Wasn't he supposedly a Vet? Seeing how John already has experience playing both a serviceman (Platoon) and a sarcastic superior (Scrubs) I think he could really pull it off. Plus, he's not quite as old as some of the suggestions or previous portrayals, which would fit both Zach's casting style and would give him some legs for future movies.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Perry White? That's an interesting choice...I could see that work!

Iron Man as Perry White? But it might confuse the audiences.

I remember when the watchmen trailer first came out, at least 10 people watching at the theatre said "what's iron man doing in watchmen?".

I laughed my ass off for weeks after hearing that.

He looks exactly like Robert Downey Jr.

Some people will get confused.
If he dyes his hair grey or something and grows a thick beard, could be a good shout.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I just opened this thread and saw Matthew Lillard suggested for something.



Excuse me while I go split my head in half with an ax.

 

[Eddie Dean]

How can you deny his Oscar worthy performance in In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale?

"I AM YOUR KING!"

 

[Rowsdower!]

LOL... I've never seen that movie but I read a review that said he might have delivered the worst performance of any actor in any film ever made.

 

[GreenKToo]

ruh roh...

he'd make a great Zod.

 

[Tomar-Re]

^^^ Lex Luthor

 

[Gamma Goliath]

he'd make a great Zod.

I agree. Matter of the fact when I saw that pic, I instantly thought of zod.

 

[Zack Snyder]

Let's try a cast.

Superman: Cavill obviously.

Lex: Brad Pitt

Lois:

Perry:

Jimmy:
Anton Yelchin (meh)

Jor-el:
Jim Caviezel

Lara:
Catherine Zeta Jones

Jonathan Kent:
Dennis Quaid

Martha Kent:

Diane Lane

 

[Zack Snyder]

Man I really want Deniro for Perry

 

[MilkmanDan]

He looks exactly like Robert Downey Jr.

I think he looks more like Javier Bardem.

 

[DIRECTOR]

My Casting Choices

Lois - Ashley Greene

Lex - Billy Zane

General Zod - Viggo Mortessan

Ursa - Olivia Wilde

Jonathan Kent - Kevin Costner

Martha Kent - Meryl Streep

Jor - El - Jim Cavietzel

Lara - Lean Headey

My Casting Choices

Lois - Ashley Greene

Lex - Billy Zane

General Zod - Viggo Mortessan

Ursa - Olivia Wilde

Jonathan Kent - Kevin Costner

Martha Kent - Meryl Streep

Jor - El - Jim Cavietzel

Lara - Lean Headey

I could easily live with that casting. But haven't you been saying that Ashley Greene wasn't your number one choice? were you just saying that?... haha, oh well. If Zod was actually the villain and Ursa was his partner in crime i would prefer that she played a villain that was "on the fence." Like she follows Zod out of loyalty but maybe Superman sees the good in her and puts doubt in her mind about what her and Zod are doing. She becomes torn between the two and maybe gets caught in the crossfire or even ends up sacrificing herself for whatever reason. That would leave Superman and Zod in a state of Rage to duke it out one on one. Because I am not a fan of Zod and friends all jumping Superman at the same time

 

[Rowsdower!]

LMAO that Director thinks Meryl Streep would even consider being in this movie.

One of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard... their builds are soooo different, and apart from both hairing similar colour hair, they look nothing alike.

 

[Majik1387]

The only actor that Jeffrey Dean Morgan looks like is Javier Bardem.

 

[Octoberist]

Billy Zane would have been a good Lex 12 years ago.

Exactly! Visual backup:

Billy Zane would have been a good Lex 12 years ago.

No... not even then...

 

[Eddie Dean]

The Jeffrey Dean Morgan / Javier Bardem resemblance is amazing. It always takes me a second to figure out who is who.

 

[Alonsovich]

LMAO that Director thinks Meryl Streep would even consider being in this movie.

Yet she was in Devil Wears Prada while still winning all those Oscars...

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yet she was in Devil Wears Prada while still winning all those Oscars...

And that role landed her an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win, genius.
