Tom Welling as Superman

[AgentPat]

Hey sending a bunch of nuts to CBS worked for Jericho fans

Oooo! Caboose'll get it.

 

[avidreader]

He doesn't. And the moment Ryan Gosling is announced as Batman, and some 23 y.o. crazy hot actress is announced as Wonder Woman, all this talk of casting "weathered" looking thesps for "older" superheroes is gonna fly (pun intended) right out the window.

That's what I thought. And if they can make Tom look younger, I'm sure they can make him look older. So I think its still a silly argument.

Is Gosling one of the official announcements? I'm not so sure about him, I thought he was absolutely dreadful in the Notebook, and in fact I remember remarking to the friend who I saw it with, what a bad actor he was and she agreed with me.

But then I saw him in Fractured, and I was impressed with his performance in that. So I dunno!

If he is cast as Batman, I hope he can drop the southern accent. It doesnt sound very Gotham like.

The Jericho fans sended in nuts because in the finale Jake Green refused to surrender the town to the other town & he replied with "Nuts" basically telling the other towns leader that he is "Nuts" if he thinks they will surrender. You will need to do more then just a petition. You will need to get Tom Wellings & the WBs attention with this just like the "Nuts" got CBS's attnetion.

^^^ Well that's not a bad idea. Maybe someone can put a collection together of all the Tom Welling as Superman Manips, and we can all fill out postcards or something to that effect.

I'm not sure. I'm not very good with that kind of stuff.

I would think one kick ass manip of Tom Welling would do the trick & just be sure to have Tom Welling fans flood the WBs mail box with that one manip. The CBS offices were getting OVER FLOODED with deliveries of nuts. It got on the news & the CBS President or a very high up person had to make a statement online asking fans to stop sending in nuts & that they will give the show another shot. It was renew the show or get nutted.

 

[Billy Batson]

You think Fox has any bottles of Tabasco sauce left?



Yeah I know, WAY too obscure Pat, but hey, if one person gets it, it was worth the chuckle.

I got it Pat I think, LoL, but wasn't that the WB with Roswell?

Just saw this post Pat & that was the save Roswell campaign

Online petitions don't work, Tom....

Snail mail is much more effective... but ignore me.

I'm not supposed to be around again until the season premiere.

[musclesforsupes]

Okay!

So its Friday night and no new updates on IESB I thought Robert said some new news was coming?! So do we have a real reason by Welling for not doing the role?

 

[AgentPat]

That's what I thought. And if they can make Tom look younger, I'm sure they can make him look older. So I think its still a silly argument.

The whole THING is silly because Welling doesn't need to be made to look older; he already IS. He looks YOUNG on SV because he's MADE-UP that way. Unfortunately, WAY too many people think that's what he actually looks like. Case in point, here's what Comics 2 Film posted this morning:

IESB reports that negotiations to sign 'Smallville' star Tom Welling on to the 'Justice League' movie have ended and the actor will not be stepping up as Superman on the big screen.

The website, which broke the news of Welling's attachment to the project in the first place, have verified with several sources that the kid is out of the picture. Details are sketchy with no real explanation being offered as to why the deal fell apart, but no doubt many fans are disappointed by this news...

http://www.comics2film.com/index.php?a=story&b=29090

"Kid?" I can understand Miller's perception, but the people at Comics 2 Film should know better.

Regardless, I think it's yet another BS rumor, and Serene did a pretty good job of proving that to me:

^ C'mon! Mel Gibson was TWENTY-THREE years old when Mad Max OPENED, which means he was probably 22 when it was FILMED.

Somebody is just making excuses now, and that really toasts my cookies. I'd like a REAL explanation here, not some magic bullet theory. (Sorry for venting.)

Is Gosling one of the official announcements?

Ya got me? I just used him as another example that, should he be cast, this weathered look Miller is allegedly after is pure nonsense. And what about Wonder Woman? The character is a warrior. How do they make HER look "weathered?" Cast Cloris Leachman? I suppose they could go with Jennifer Connelly (37) or Angelina Jolie (32) but at what cost? Can they afford a 10 or 20 million dollar contract for just ONE of SEVEN leads? Yeah. Not gonna happen.

Gosling is probably the right price. He's 6'1" and 27 y.o. And he's a good actor from what I've heard. So I don't see why he couldn't work. But there's that age thing again. Welling is 30. So is fan favorite and rumored Flash 1st choice, Ryan Reynolds.

The whole age argument is DUMB. Smallville's Clark, Lois, and Jimmy are all older than their counterparts from the latest Superman film.

If he is cast as Batman, I hope he can drop the southern accent. It doesn't sound very Gotham like.

Hee. Well Bale did it. (He's Welsh and has quite a thick accent IRL.)

I got it Pat I think, LoL, but wasn't that the WB with Roswell?

Hah. I was thinking production companies (Fox produced Roswell), but you're right. It aired on UPN and then WB. I think WB was the recipient of the bottles. Third season, if I'm not mistaken.

I never watched the show, but I know about the campaign because I used it as an example for one I organized about seven years ago. (Jeeze... how time flies.) Any Sex and the City fans out there? Remember Aidan Shaw? The guy that proposed to Carrie Bradshaw in the fourth season of the show? The guy who was HISTORY after the third season and wasn't supposed to come back for a fourth? Yeah, that was my doing. And I have the TV Guide and SATC Compendium Book articles to prove it.

And no... I'm not doing that s*** again.

Hi Pat,

I saw that joey came in earlier, I have to ask you one question.

Where do you think we stand right now? I mean obviously chances of this happening are small, do you think Tom could be staring in a new Superman franchise if the SR one is stopped. With the newest rumor tonight of JLA being animated, I mean this project is looking more screwed up in the rumor department than SR.

So (looks around) I love IESB's BIGGGG announcements! LMFAO t:

 

[AgentPat]

...With the newest rumor tonight of JLA being animated...

Wh...wha...what?

Where is this poop coming from? Did somebody let Marvel out of his cage again? This is getting RIDICULOUS!!!

Muscles, the whole POINT of a JL film (as I understand it) is so Warners can launch the individual franchises like WW, Flash and so forth. How would they do that in a 100% animated flick?

As to Welling, he was never "official" to begin with. There hasn't been any official casting announcements yet (unless I just missed it?) I can't begin to ponder his "chances" when technically, we can't be sure if he was ever really an option. All we've had to go on is rumor. But the film is supposedly coming together quickly. It HAS to if they want to get it into production ASAP. So we'll find out soon enough who'll get to wear the spiffy costume.

Finally, I think Miller will do a fantastic job, but if this thing really does turn out to be a full on mo-cap pic, fagetabowtit. The ONLY reason I'd even consider seeing it is if Welling gets cast, and I made that clear from Day One. Mo-cap films don't interest me at ALL, regardless of their subject matter.

I voted, just in case.... this is still me not being here.

*waves hands in the air and mind whammies you into not remembering I was even here*

You are right Fox was the Production Co., It aired on the WB first.
UPN pick it up after the WB canceled it. Smallville's formula is Roswell'ish.
Max Evans & Liz Parker were the WB's first Clana. t:

aHHHHH PAT! Damn

 

[musclesforsupes]

Pat someone in the bluetights forum and in the comments section of the JLA article on superman homepage.com states its all going to be motion capture animation.

 

[ZIPBAGS]

How can Wonder Woman have an older weathered look. She is IMMORTAL!!!!

 

[KalKai]

Pat someone in the bluetights forum and in the comments section of the JLA article on superman homepage.com states its all going to be motion capture animation.

Because BoF says so? Just no.

Is the poster's name "motown marvel?" LOL

This is silly.

I haven't been to BT's since I unloaded on Justin a day or two ago. He probably banned me LOL. J/K And I rarely if ever go to SHP. So that explains why I'm a little in the dark on that. But Miller's resume aside, I can't imagine this being totally mo-cap. There's no point in doing that. Furthermore, people like Chris Nolan wouldn't be putting up a big stink, or Jett over at BOF having a major meltdown if it WAS entirely mo-cap. I'm just doing the math on that one; gotta look at all the "evidence," even if it is just rumor.

Hee! Don't tell me. Tell Miller.

Hey guys, I'm off on vacation. Going to Vegas and hope to come back rich LOL. I'll be signing off now and probably won't be back till Wednesday. MJZ gets to gloat all over my sorry ass on Sunday. That's gonna suck.

Tata gang. Hold down the fort. And don't feed the trolls.
