Amanda Seyfried: I Auditioned for 'Superman'

Spoiler

http://justjared.com/tags/amanda-seyfried

Amanda Seyfried leaves Barneys New York on Monday (March 21) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 25-year-old actress took pictures with a fan who spotted her while she was making her way out of the department store.

Amanda, who can currently be seen on the big screen in Red Riding Hood, recently revealed two other films she wanted to be in.

“I auditioned for a role in the new Superman and didn’t get it,” she revealed.

“And I really wanted Emily Browning’s role in Sucker Punch. I’d originally got that role and everything was in gear, but then I got the call from Big Love saying ‘we need you this season,’” she added.

 

[Boom]

Vomit.

Heh, did you watch Lights Out the other night too? I never would have pictured him as Bibbo before that, but now I can.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

This guys name is apparently being brought up: http://www.thisisfakediy.co.uk/articles/film/michael-shannon-possible-superman-villain

Edgar Ramirez

Looks like a good Metallo to me

 

[rogue trooper]

Scott Glenn(Snyder's "Sucker Punch") for Perry White

 

[Eddie Dean]

Yes please.

 

[Mr. Thing]

I love Scott Glenn, but I think there are other actors that are more suited for Perry.

 

[Zack Snyder]

Heh, did you watch Lights Out the other night too? I never would have pictured him as Bibbo before that, but now I can.

Yes and I hate when people cast based off of a current tv show or movie. However this casting choice is worth being an exception.

In honor of our new Lois Lane -

Confirmed cast -

Superman - Henry Cavill

Lois Lane - Amy Adams

Jonathan Kent - Kevin Costner

Martha Kent - Diane Lane

Rumored cast -

Lex Luthor - Michael Shannon

General Zod - Viggo Mortensen

Holy ****, this looks fantastic.

 

[KRIM]

If they nab just one more actor on the caliber of Shannon or Viggo (or both!), I'm gonna have to say this beats the casting prospects any comic book film had at the start of their franchise.

This really is unbelievable how many homeruns are being consistently hit. I'm half expecting a terrible choice to come just because this is too good to be true.

 

[Changeling]

I hope Viggo and Shannon work out. There are people I'd rather have for Lex than Shannon but he'd still be a great choice

 

[Sawyer]

Jor-El: Eric Bana
Lara: Elizabeth Mitchell

[Jake Cassidy]

Bana is absoultely perfect for Jor-El.

 

[Sawyer]

Oh, no, they're just my suggestions.

 

[Nemeres]

Hey, 1st casting suggestion here.

How about Oliver Platt for Perry White? He's got the right "energy" for the part.
