[Eddie Dean]

I like it a lot. Especially Jaime Murray as Faora.

Something that popped on my head today ....what Chris Meloni for Lex?

 

[Rowsdower!]

I like it a lot. Especially Jaime Murray as Faora.

Thanks. Yeah, Jaime is sexy as hell and she can play an evil psycho-b**ch very well. She was was brilliant on Dexter. I haven't seen the Spartacus miniseries she was in yet, but I just found out that she has love scenes with Lucy Lawless, so that series is definitely going in my Netflix queue. t:

 

[louiebling$]

Yea they did but they are pretty short you should check out S:GOTA for it being a damn good mini series

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, I heard it was actually a pretty good series. Don't worry, I wasn't planning on just fast-forwarding until I get to the girl-girl scenes, lol.

My Perfect Cast:

Perry White - Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Jimmy Olsen - Anton Yelchin

Faora - Rachel Weisz

Lana Lang - Clare Danes

Lex Luthor - Clive Owen

Jor-el - Caviezel

Lara - Lena Heady

I wouldn't mind HBC as Faora...but I hate her for killing Dobby. And at the same time,Im in love with her. Damn. Bellatrix in HP is so ******* sexy.

Posted this in another thread and decided I'd throw it in here

Back in the dayyyyyyy, watching Quantum Leap was like watching an alternate reality Superman in some ways.
Sam Beckett was a perfect example of what a man should be, helped shape me morally for sure!

Scott Bakula could've been awesome Superman at one stage, even on TV.

I know he's not overly famous, and isn't in league with some of the other names that are being mentioned but if they got Scott Bakula for Jor-El I'd cry with happiness!

 

[Rodrigo90]

He looks like the Fonz.

HENRY WINKLER FOR JOR-EL

 

[GreenKToo]

Bellarix is the kinda chick that would have you restrained, and then would break out the whips and chains. Helena B Carter is hot tho. I could definintely see her as Faora.

 

[--Zero-Ethic--]

He looks like the Fonz.

HENRY WINKLER FOR JOR-EL

Dude, back when people were still casting for Supes I used to say
"The only superhero Jon Hamm should play is The Fonz is a Happy Days reboot." lol

 

[Eddie Dean]

Bakula would have made a great Jonathan Kent actually...

 

[--Zero-Ethic--]

Bakula would have made a great Jonathan Kent actually...

Verrrrrrrry true! Didn't think of that! I friggin' love the guy lol
Whether it were Johanthan or Jor-El, once he died I would break down lol

 

[Rodrigo90]

Bellarix is the kinda chick that would have you restrained, and then would break out the whips and chains. then kill you horribly and cruelly while laughing all the way, Helena B Carter is hot tho. I could definintely see her as Faora.

Still...what a way to go.

 

[Project862006]

Henry Cavill - Superman/Clark Kent

Amy Adams - Lois Lane

Diane Lane - Martha Kent

Kevin Costner - Johnathan Kent

Michael Shannon - General Zod

Billy Bob Thornton - Perry White

Michael Angarano - Jimmy Olsen

Alice Eve - Cat Grant

Joaquin Phoenix - Lex Luthor

 

[Majik1387]

Other than Joaquin, that would be an amazing cast

He wouldn't die anyway, once he put right what once went wrong, he would leap to the next life.

 

[chamber-music]

I like it a lot. Especially Jaime Murray as Faora.

Her father who is a well known TV actor in the UK just got arrested for allegedly hitting her mum and sister

You know what? That is actually an awesome out of the box idea Good work dude.

 

[Zack Snyder]

I think Logan Lerman would be a good choice for Jimmy. It would remind me of the days of season 1 Clark and Jimmy with Cavill and him

 

[Rodrigo90]

I'd would love HBC as Faora. Screw the age difference. She looks younger than Shannon.

Just look how insane and sexy she looks.

 

[Majik1387]

She's definitely growing on me, and she clearly has a good relationship with WB.
