I hope you realize that most of us are not filmmakers. You say you are a director or a filmmaker(one of the two), and I will trust that because you clearly know what your talking about. But, we are just on here giving our simple opinions.
Who we think should be cast is a matter of opinion. Some of us like the hot Lois that is portrayed in many comics and some of us like the realistic Lois that is in real journalism. Regardless of which we like, we like it because we do. No need to argue and insult because people have different opinions.
You claim everyone has no argument or no point, maybe it's just people want to say who they like and who they don't without it getting so personal. Debates online tend to get personal real quick. Prime example, ^your response to his comment.
I realize I have been grumpily personal with some of the most close-minded members of this board, which I explain
here, but saying that "we like it because we do" is simply not good enough. Opinions, while anyone can have one anytime they want, are only taken seriously when they have
reasons that are explained by
knowledge and education. That's the standard for opinions in every area of society and those who don't cite reasons for their opinions or seem misinformed are quickly marginalized and ignored. Otherwise,
anyone can have an opinion about
anything, which would be absurd, not to mention chaos. I would never dare form an opinion and flaunt it
anywhere (even on the internet) about something that I'm entirely uneducated about. That's what many members of this board are doing, spouting opinions on films and filmmaking and casting when they really have no idea how those elements work in a film. It's like chemistry, the different potions combine to concoct a final outcome and it takes knowledge of filmmaking to be able to validly discuss that potential concoction or else you're
basically just guessing and saying what actors you like or dislike without any regard for the
specific film. When members of this board do that, which is, oh, about 99% of the time, I think you can understand how that would be tremendously frustrating to me.
But there's an easy solution to this. All I'm arguing for is
substantive opinions. Because, yes, while anyone can shout their opinions from a rooftop, the more informed an opinion, the more valid it becomes on that subject. So I would urge members of this board to at very least think about
WHY exactly they believe what they do and then
explain it. That's all I want. Just tell me your reasons. And saying, "because I do" is not a reason.
I agree! Her personality is exactly how Lois' should be in my opinion.
Please no one attack me saying that I am ignorant and have no reasoning as to why I think that. It's just my opinion... -_-
Yeah, but, man, that's not good enough. You can't just say, "That's just my opinion." That's not a reason, that's just saying another blank statement.
Why is her personality exactly like how Lois' should be?
Why should Lois' personality be like that? What does that add to the character? What does it do for the romance/friendship of Lois/Clark/Superman? The funny thing is, I'm even talking solely about Lois' personality, I'm talking about her appearance in conjunction with her personality, but that's irrelevant because, no matter the opinion on any subject, I'd love for people to start explaining their reasons because anyone can have an opinion, but not anyone can have an
intelligent opinion. All you have to do is take that extra step and ask yourself "Why?" And then
tell us why! And saying, "I just do" is not a reason. Give me
reasons, not "I don't know, because I just do."
While this is true... (even though it sounds like it was quoted from a text book) Zach Snyder, I repeat, Zach Snyder is making Superman. Not Legends of the Fall or Notebook. Some of us have taken this into account when our fan suggestions were made. And who do you think is sitting in the seats? We Are The Audience Mr. Director
GA1U5...
I know. I hope you're having fun twisting and distorting my words
I really do, but c'mon. I would never suggest turning
Superman into
The Notebook (Bryan Singer pretty much already did that to embarrassing effect). And you
know that's not what I'm saying. I was simply explaining the dynamic that is required to create a successful
romantic subplot in the movie, ala
Superman: The Movie. That movie wasn't like
The Notebook, was it?
That's all I'm advocating. Not mimicking
Superman: The Movie, but learning from it as far as how to bring to life the Superman/Lois romance, which I think is its greatest strength and
possibly the
one element of the movie that holds up and doesn't look dated in retrospect. The Superman suit: dated. Comic Luthor: dated. The effects: dated. The sets, wardrobes: obviously dated. But the romance pulsates with as much energy today as it did then.
There's a reason for that. Because the dynamic that I'm describing is timeless. It worked in 1813 in
Pride and Prejudice, it worked in 1978 in
Superman, and it'll work today and Zack Snyder should take notice of
that!
Funny how this question wasn't answered...
Jeez, man. I tried my best to answer the question, but I can't possibly predict
one name to get the role out of the dozens that it could be. Doing so would just be guessing out of a hat. But you know what's funny, as I was writing this post, a completely unfounded yet bizarre Ouija board-like feeling pointed my brain toward Keira Knightley. She was on the short list for
The Dark Knight Rises and since Nolan's producing
Superman and he obviously
likes the choice of Henry Cavill, we don't know how much of Snyder's ear he has. It's not unthinkable that the remaining names on that short-list could be top candidates for Lois Lane.
Which
one name do you think will get the role?
