Tom Welling as Superman

[Ultimate_Superman]

No they would cast him he just doesn't want the part for whatever reason. My guess is he doesn't want to be known as Superman and wants to do other things.

2 things wrong:

1. they are too stupid to actually MAKE this movie
2. they are too stupid to cast Tom Welling

3 things wrong with your post:

1. It would be a good movie.
2. Tom welling IS Superman.
3. It's just a manip

yes, like Cheaper By The Dozen (total sarcasm)....Chris Reeves never had a problem...

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

But just to let you know my "rants" are warrented.

Oh and I agree its just you go about it the wrong way. But hey I do think you have some good points and as I said before I like your idea on how to do a movie that follows Superman II.

The same thing happened to me?! I tried all of my passwords (I use more than one) but no dice. Tried to have it send me a new password but it said they didn't have my e-mail addy, which is BS because they still send me those stupid monthy reports where they drone on and on about ... things I'm not interested in.

That's exactly my case. They still send me their monthly reports, but they say that they don't have my e-mail address.! And I joined here just a couple of months ago, so I guess that's got nothing to do with it.

But they take too long to activate accounts, for some reason...

He wasn't approached for the part by Singer thank god, and he did consider the part but it wasn't possible, he spent time a Ratner's house talking about it with him.

i agree with them all
it's just that Hollywood doesn't know any better
they'd rather make Ant-Man and the Hulk 2

Exactly!

Phil just to warn you we can not talk about Superman Returns in this forum unless you want to be banned.

start what I am not implying nothing I just said he didn't want the role because I sure if Tom Welling walked into the WB and said I want to be Superman he would be Superman he just didn't want it. Theres nothing wrong with that.

I agree with you that I go about the wrong way but when your insulted right from the beginning for not agreeing with Singer's version even if your not doing it in a negative way getting called Junior High names day after day you kind start going in in a defensive way.

Right, you were there with Tom Welling every step of the way.

Come on All Star, ya know what I mean by dont go there again. You're assuming facts about something based on an opinion.

Oh god, and he's going to be a father, poor poor kid.

No your thinking I am trying to start something or imply something. I am stating what I think! I think that Welling after Smallville just wants to try something new and thats why he didn't take the role when offered either that or he was just happy with SV. In no way am I am saying something bad about him. I am just stating why I think he didn't take the role as you and others have before me.

Maybe one of you guys can help me out? I want to start a new Welling Drawing but I'm having trouble finding reference images. I want a full body or 3/4 shot, could be Wellings body or someone elses that I can just put Wellings head on. I'm looking for a bold Superman pose of some sort that I can make a "real looking" as possible drawing from. Thanks

I have an affinity for this one, but it's already a drawing, so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for Phil?

Chest and arms, ala Jackman and Ahhnuld...

And two more (Frank Zane and Ahhuuld) for reference purposes. They're GREAT examples for drawing musculature properly, particularly around the chest and the abs...

Hope that helps. I'm at work, so I don't have access to any great "library" of photos LOL. Just know what I happen to have sitting on my server.

OH, and I also have this dude...

(You need to ask these questions in the Drool Thread, Phil LOL)

I'm looking for something like maybe a shot where he could be floating, maybe one leg slightly up.

A standing shot with his feet a part chest out traditional pose. Something strong looking. Maybe an after battle type of thing. I'm sure I can find a head to go with it I have a lot of Welling Head shots.
Have you ever see the Jim Lee statue of Superman with one leg up resting on a rock, a cool more realistic shot of that would be really cool. I just need somthing that could be made to look like it is Welling. I just want it to be as real as possible.
