well...our personalities ARE shaped by our upbringings
she said herself that she's critical and analytical. these are also personality traits that not everyone has...but she attributes those traits directly with the fact that she comes from a family of journalists. regardless of the sort of world or journalism portrayed in Metropolis, she should still feel like a reporter....and again, i don't see how coming from a family of journalists can be spun to be anything but an asset.
I dunno, I'd just go with an actress with experience in Lois Lane like roles (Rachel McAdams), over an actress with experience in real life Journalism anyday.
gosh, i am so annoyed with hearing. "she is too hot for lois... she is too sexy... she is too stunning"
that is the probably stupidest argument ive ever heard and its is ridiculous that so many people are using it. come up with a legitimate reason. jeezus
People have come up with legitimate reasons for why they believe Olivia Wilde is 'too hot' or as I put it 'too much a sex symbol' to play Lois Lane, and posted them throughout this thread.
If you are going to attempt to undermine people's opinions, at least be bothered to actually read what they've said and comment on it, instead of making yourself look dismissive and disrespectful.
People are basing their opinion on her glammed up red carpet pictures. She will be in a business suit for most of the time. When she DOES make an effort you see how hot she is.
As I keep saying (although at this point I feel like i'm talking, and people are just staring at Olivia's boobs going 'huh, what she say? Olivia Wilde for Lois Lane!)
I don't think it's just her appearance that's the problem, but that she is considered a sex symbol by almost everyone I know. Whether she wanted it that way or not, she is percieved as something to... drool... over (there I put it politely).
Regardless of her ability to act the character (which I personally don't feel from her), her being in the film would have an effect on the expectations of the audience. And they would have to do a lot of work to make Lois Lane more than just the eye candy of the Superhero movie, the peice of ass by his side (which she deserves).
Olivia does a convincing doctor of all professions on house yet is too pretty for a journalist lol
Olivia on house and she does not look too hot on house
I have no doubt Olivia Wilde could play a great Journalist.
I just don't think she would make a good Lois Lane.
For goodness sakes, look at what a test pilot/future owner of a airforce base in GL looks like:
I know, I was pretty upset with the casting in GL too
I feel like Olivia is going to get it. I feel like the support she has is just too great to ignore. She appears to have everything required to play a kickass lois and no deal breaking drawbacks. It would be quite surprising to me if Lois was announced and it turned out to be someone different. I wouldn't be opposed to another actress, it would just be a little shocker for me
I think Olivia has as much support as John Hamm or Joe Manganiello did. I think Rachel McAdams is as popular a choice across the board as Henry Cavill was.
I think Olivia may get a shot (if she even wants it or has time for it), but I will be very surprised if she gets it.
Obviously...
That's pretty much understood. People who are for an attractive Lois are not talking about having a Playboy-esk woman half naked with her breast falling out, showing midriff in a mini-mini skirt. But what we are saying is that a beautiful Lois (Yes also one that can be convincing in the role) would not harm but be a plus. And given the actor cast as Superman would be invited and almost expected by the audience. Also there are many many illustrations of Superman in the comics that don't have the Muscles on Muscles.
ALL hollywood actresses are beautiful IMO. So it's not really a question of that for me. If they cast McAdams, I don't anyone is gonna be going 'oh they went with the ugly girl'.
But I see Olivia Wilde AS a Playboy-esk woman. I think she'd make an absolutely amazing Lara Croft for example. I could even see her as Ripley if they did an Alien remake. Just Not Lois Lane.
oh i think olivia can convey the strength and seriousness of lois perfect she does that very well
Strong and serious... yeah Lois Lane in a nutshell...
t: I thought I come to this board to hang out and have some light-hearted fun with fellow Superman and Cavill fans 
For the record, I never attacked or disrespected you or your opinion. I merely disagreed.
