The Official Superman Casting Thread

[Justice Bringer]

I didnt say that was the only reason; there are plenty. I listed others. Most noteability his inability to do a believeable American accent.

And JC; going by random pictures for casting is ******ed; there are screenshots I could grab where Routh looks 40 in the right light; it isnt exactly an accurate method of gauging suitability for a role.

 

[Crazymaverick]

Seriously, too young?

Henry Cavill

 

[Justice Bringer]

Without the facial hair he is. At least he doesnt look the part.

Brandon looks way older with facial hair as well.


But whatever; if he can play the role (which I dont believe he can from what Ive seen), it really doesnt matter. But we're not getting a reboot; so its pointless.

 

[Crazymaverick]

Well, to each his own.

I however thought he did a good job in Tristan & Isolde, and had a pretty commanding voice too.

 

[Justice Bringer]

Watch the horror film he did; he needs alot of work on trying to do an American accents properly.

 

[Majik1387]

Okay, I thought of a better actress for Lois that I haven't seen mentioned.

Rose Byrne

 

[Showtime]

Wow. Thats a good one.

 

[Justice Bringer]

Shes been mentioned so many times.

My main issue with her is she has the same facial expression in like every movie shes in;

I havent seen any Lois Lane range with her that would have made her better than Kate.

 

[Crook]

However, she does have the advantage of not looking nearly as young, as Bosworth does.

 

[Justice Bringer]

At this point; looking young would be an advantage for the future sequels.

 

[Crook]

Yes, but there's a certain point where you're stretching things a bit. It's bad enough that they're not even introducing these characters as amateurs in Metropolis, but we're supposed to believe these people are vets.

Routh I can handle, same with Huntington. But Bosworth, looks too damn young for this role.

 

[Justice Bringer]

Kate Bosworth is not going to look any older than she looks now when shes turns 30. She just has youthful features.

Keeping that in mind; it isnt impossible that a 30 yr old could look like her.

 

[Crook]

Tell me where you live, so I can go marry those girls.

 

[Justice Bringer]

Alright just focus on Kate Bosworth for the moment; do you really believe she will look noticeably older when shes 30 than how she looks now?

Based on her features; I seriously doubt it. She'll still look youthful.

And Lois is 30 in the film.

 

[Crook]

That's why I said she was miscast. She just doesn't look the role. Now or anytime soon.

 

[Justice Bringer]

But it also proves that a woman can still look that young at 30; so it isnt out of the range of believeability.

 

[Crook]

Well I do think she's going to look more mature by the time she is 30.

She's not gonna stay the same. Right now, she looks barely over 20. I think that'll change in a few years.

 

[Justice Bringer]

I doubt it will change noticeably. Especially with makeup

Damn Kate is hot I think they need to use her real hair and just give her a good cut this go around.

Yeah thats a recent picture from yesterday or today.

She looks great again.

Someone with more charisma and charm for Superman.

[M.O.Steel]

Damn Kate is hot I think they need to use her real hair and just give her a good cut this go around.

I totally agree. Its like they wetn backwards with the movie. She looks a lot better in real life.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Mine has always been Arnold Vosloo as I believe him to be a walking, talking, expression of TAS Lex.

I don't think he would play it with a hint of cheese factor either
