Didn't read the script, bud. But a breakdown of the story and it gels with the pictures we've seen from the set. Wasn't crazy about it.
 
For some reason I thought both you and Showtime had read a draft of the script. My mistake.

That worries me a little. Makes me wonder if it's because it's unoriginal, unfaithful or just plain bad.

I still trust we're finally gonna have the Superman movie the world deserves and the one it needs. :D
 
Interesting stuff about the Fringe guy. Don't know him, but I think he looks the part and he seems to have a pretty good resume for a relative unknown.

I agree, if there is any truth to the report, then my guess is that Lex is in the film in a small role like Jamie said. It wouldn't make sense to start casting for a sequel when we don't even know if there will BE a sequel.

Well, it appears that the movie has changed pretty drastically since, so I'm not sure it's worth reading much into it.

That's because some people give other people more credence than they deserve.

Why? Because one fanboy "wasn't crazy" about the plot breakdown? Maybe you should give the powers that be more credit than that.

Chris Meloni is Luthor!!!!

Can someone please pay attention here so I can receive due credit for the casting call well before the announcement....

This "who's who" garbage is irritating...
 
Just saw Cerveris was the fat demon-dude in Cirque du Freak. Pretty convincing make-up I must say.
 
Just finished looking up MC's stuff on YouTube and I must say I'm impressed with the type of roles he's played. If there's any truth to this article I'm fully behind him

ummm, well on set, he is not wearing the type of attire that Lex would wear........ since Chris Meloni is playing somebody in the military
 
I'm not sure if you were trying to say the site was legit or not legit. That personally doesn't matter to me either way. The synopsis was legit, and they had it in April.

In regards to some of the story description, we know the military is involved and we know there is some CGI giant with Zod and Faora. Could it be Metallo? I'm not saying the below is accurate, nor am I saying that that bald dude is even on the map for Lex, nevermind Lex being in it. Just saying you can't dismiss a site because it is small or because it has a strange name or bad writers. Could still be accurate info.

General Sam Lane, the father of Lois Lane, is a central figure in director Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot. This really is as Zack described in several interviews about the film, a “real world” Superman. I’m told that when Superman arrives on the scene; people don’t know what to think. He’s an alien from another planet. What are his real intentions? He’s not human and that scares a lot of people. Here’s a guy who can fly, see through walls, is bullet proof and can lift a tank. The military views him as a potential threat to national security. They find kryptonite, pieces of his home planet, and discover its radioactive elements can be harnessed as a near unlimited source of power, both literally and figuratively. It’s a brand new form of energy that is secretly developed by the government. The military, under the direction of General Sam Lane, uses kryptonite to power an experimental cyborg super solider named Metallo. He’s ultimately exploited as a weapon against Superman.

I give them credit, Puckenstein. I have über faith in this movie based on everything we know up until now and the fact that WB can't strike out again. But in a very unrealistic fanboy behavior, I want everybody that makes contact with anything related to MOS to be blown away by its quality. I'm not expecting perfection but I want the movie to be undeniably good (think TDK). So when a well-informed fan like Jamie says he wasn't crazy about what he saw in the story, it worries me A LITTLE. But you're right: it's ONE opinion and as ElDuderino said, the movie has probably changed pretty drastically from what the mods may have seen.

Now back on topic... Cerveris as Lex? Me gusta!
 
I've never seen Cerveris act, but he's got a nice Yul Brynner thing going on.

Woah that's a big dome right there.
 
Yul Brynner would make the absolute greatest lex ever

Yeah, it's all a ruse. Chris Meloni is Lex, Michael Shannon is Mxyzptlk and Henry Cavill is Aquaman.

You heard it here first.

He seems to have a bit of a following as "The Observer" on "Fringe". He's certainly an interesting candidate.

That would've been cool to see.
 
The guy kinda reminds me of Dave Foley with a shaved head.
 
Someone suggested Dwayne Johnson not too long ago. Great idea actually.
