[joeycortes611]

Negotiations are not dead at this point. They are actually in the back sit but not over

 

[Showtime]

Its Not lets leave it at that

I don't know who you are, but I hope your not going by the info at Countingdown.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

in the back seat to someone else?

BTW havent seen you around in a LONG while

 

[KalKai]

Who are you?

I see the last you posted was back in 2004..

 

[AgentPat]

Uh.... muh... gawd. Joey? JOEY??!!!! Holy crap! Where the HELL HAVE YOU BEEN???!!!!! Oh... MAN!!!!

 

[AgentPat]

This has turned into a freakin' surreal nightmare. I sooooooo don't want to go through this again.











....Whatdaya got?

Big edit after the last couple of posts.

Tom's my only choice.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. This whole ride (from Sanchez's reveal on Attack of the Show to last night's official JLA announcement) reeks of August-October 2004. It's deja vu all over again! And now, Joey's back giving everyone (false?) hope.

 

[Showtime]

Don't let it happen to you again guys.

 

[KalKai]

It's not over until WB announces the cast.

Kai... It would take a month of Sundays.

Suffice it to say, Zing and MJZ just face-palmed, Muscles just lost all control of bodily functions, Hulk and I are blinking astonishment out of our eyes, and half the rest of the board who knew Joey back during the Casting Wars of '04 are thinking, ohhhhhhshiiiiiiiiiii......

Hope that helps.

The cast most likely won't be announced by WB, but by a website like IESB or the such.

Just got back in last night and, to say the least, I am disappointed.

I really wanted this to happen with Tom. We will probably never know the real bts facts of this matter. That sucks BIG!

I hate that Tom detractors are talking trash about MY SUPERMAN. AS much as I would like to see Tom in this movie, I am first and foremost a fan of his, and if he decided to not take this role, I trust that he had good reason.

I just lost TOTAL interest in seeing this movie without Tom being in it.

That's a nice assessment, Pat...

Why reboot? The film left a lot of loose threads that need to be tied up. I feel they NEED to do a sequel to make that happen, even if we wait a few more years.

See, now personally I think SR would be just fine as a stand alone film. It had enough ends tied in the very end of the film so I don't see why a sequel is a must.

If they scrap the Superman film altogether, I have a feeling there will be some angry fans. I know I will be one of them.

I guess the real question is, would Superman fans mind if they scrap MOS and start fresh with a new Superman franchise? Probably not. Superman is Superman, it doesn't have to be Singer's or Routh's.

This is a major bummer. Hopefully there's still a chance that Welling will play Supes in the JLA film.

Agreed!

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

here's another one for ya. Today's Hollywood Reporter, the other big Hollywood trade mag besides Variety for those who arent familiar, is saying that Miller is just "in talks to direct" as opposed to being a done deal:

How one or two words changes things.

I completely agree. If Tom didn't want the role I can accept that. If Al and Miles are responsible however . . . .

This report sounds outdated.

I was thinking about this and the thing is, if Tom really absolutely does NOT want to be in this movie, he won't be. But... as a fan of his, I'd rather choose to support him in this movie because in case he does want it, I'd rather he had the support.

Of course, it's only silly fannish mentality that makes me feel like my support or lack of means squat in the grand scheme of things, but as a fan, it's what we do.

So, yeah.. until I see someone else announced as a done deal, I'm still in Tom's corner with my fingers crossed. What the hell.. it can't hurt.

 

[Justice Bringer]

The disillusioned woman on the countingdown message boards just solidified the ridiculousness of her false statements.

Now shes saying Welling can still happen with Miller and WB in JLA using CGI technology to make him look older....


What will she think of next..

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

it's funny how many people consider her to be "disillusioned" but yet they seem to hang on her every word. i read that post she said that they could make Welling look a bit older if they wanted in a similar way that they made Ian McKellan and patrick Stewart look younger in X3 which was partly CG I believe.
