The Official Lex Luthor Casting Thread

[Rowsdower!]

He does. But I think he had potential once. The original Wall Street is a classic (though mostly for Michael Douglas) and Platoon was awesome. Not sure what happened to Sheen's acting ability after that.

The sad thing is though, he actually WAS rumored for Lex Luthor back when Ratner was on the project. I found that picture on an old site where they were talking about it.

Poor poor Charlie...

ANYWAY!!!

My choice is definitely Shannon,cause he was Oscar nominated,and many people still cant see him playing Lex,which usually helps.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, I'd be happy with that.

I can't wait till this role is cast just so I can stop hearing people bring up the incredibly untalented Billy Zane for the role.

It's really only a couple people doing that at least. Usually the same folks.

^True but I hate it regardless. How people have such love for an aging untalented B-movie actor is a mystery to this little Spider.

it won't happen because if Zane isn't cast as Lex then people will ***** about whoever is cast is in fact NOT Billy Zane

Dammit! You make alot of sense. We are still hearing about people's Lois Lane picks eventhough the role has already been cast.

Not a chance.

lol

 

[Kal-El.9859]

and hell, even if Zane is cast...guess what? you'll have people *****ing about that too...lose/lose situation here guys

 

[Zack Snyder]

Ya cause most don't want Zane. He lacks charisma on screen/is boring to watch. If they could get a good performance out of him, and that's IF, then maybe it wouldn't be a train wreck.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I hear the train de-railing now...I hope he isn't cast as Lex

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Ironically if he were to be cast as Lex (he won't be) I would be the one b**ching.

LOL, if you guys have never see The Nostalgia Critic's review of The Phantom, I highly recommend it. That movie is even worse that I remember (and when I saw it, way back when, I thought it was a pile of crap, so there you go), especially the horrible acting by Zane, Treat Williams and Kristi Swanson.

I'm actually surprised that Zane got work AT ALL after that film.

 

[WarriorDreamer]

I think Billy Zane would be great. We've seen what an arrogant corrupt man he can play in Titanic, imagine what he could do if he was a billionare with infinite power?

Plus I really hope they get an older Lex Luthor. Having a Luthor be about 35 wouldn't work IMO.

Billy is about the right age.
