My super cast for MOS

Clark Kent - Armie Hammer / Brandon Routh.
Jor EL - Jim Caveizel
Lara - Lena Headley
Brainyac - Keanu Reeve
Lois lane - Mary Elizabeth Winestead
Jimmy Olson - Anton Yelchin.
 
I just thought to myself, "Hey, Tom Skerritt's not dead." Depending on how old they want to make the Kents, he'd be a fine Jonathan.

I'm thinking now that we have the casting announcements of The Dark Knight Rises, it is only a matter of time until we find out our three principles for The Man of Steel.

I feel like we'll know our Superman by the end of February and Lex and Lois shortly thereafter. We'll probably get a villain announcement/Costume reveal at the panel for 2011 Comic Con.

Speaking of Armie Hammer, did anyone happen to save that funny Superman manip that banned poster named Eze made? It was a mashup of different Superman faces from the comics, supposed to be what Hammer would look like in the film. I tried looking for it, but it wasn't being hosted anymore.

why would a manip of different faces ban a poster?
 
I think he means the one he made BEFORE he got banned, and not that he was banned because of it.
 
Does anyone remember the chronology of the casting announcement for SR? Did they announce the whole cast together or was it individual casting decisions announced over the course of a couple of months? Also if it wasn't a block of decisions made in one go, where did BR's signing fall in that casting news?? It might give us a clue as to when we can expect to hear something. It's got to be to be February to mid March, especially if they pick an actor to portray Superman that needs to bulk up for the part. I've got a hunch it'll be late (at least for Superman) February. Wouldn't it be logical to Cast Superman first, unlike STM, and then build the rest of the cast around that actor?
 
I'm believing nothing until I see a press release. I'd be fine with that casting if true, though

My Dream Line Up is:

Superman-Armie Hammer
Lois Lane-Missy Peregrym
Lex Luthor-Jaoquien Phoenix
Perry White-Victor Garber
Jimmy Olsen-Clark Duke
General Zod-Scott Elrod
Brainiac-Jude Law
Jor El-Tim Daly
Lara-Dana Delany
Cat Grant-Kelly Carlson
 
In honor of the new Superman -

That is actually a really well done and realistic cast in terms of budget. We can't have a super star in every role. But could Lizzy Kaplan make a good Lois to Cavill's Superman?
 
Is Perry White's ethnicity a huge deal to anyone here? Because all of a sudden, I'd really like to see Edward James Olmos. :cool:
