Tom Welling as Superman

[ariellem]

Nice!

I'm starting to get used to seeing Tom in the suit - this body is from the figurine with the Batman companion, right? - and I like your composition.

Question: what's that on top of the Chrysler-ish building? I'm guessing it's supposed to be the globe on the Daily Planet, but it's not very spherical. It looks kind of like a golden VW Beetle sitting atop a golden \S/-shaped blob. Herbie the Love Bug, melded with a Golden Snitch, teaches Clark how to fly? It's the Frumious Beetle-Snitch! :-> Or maybe the Eye of Sauron...

Regarding all of these Welling manips. What are people going to do if he does become Supes and the first pics of him in the suit come out.

 

[ariellem]

Drool. And hope the script isn't horrible.

What are we going to do? You mean before or after we've died and gone to heaven? 'Cause I'm not sure how much Tequila is available on the far side of the Pearly Gates.

A few more bits from Counting Down: http://countingdown.com/movies/343447/board?folder=0&viewpost=3995340&start=30

Emijanyne essentially confirms the rumor that "Man of Steel" is intended to be a reboot to the Superman franchise (a la Ed Norton's The Incredible Hulk).

The article that started that was quoting from someone in Singer's camp and not someone from WB. What I was told back in Dec 2006 is the same thing Variety just recently reported which was that it is (and I quote) "INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED". If it were delayed, they'd just say it was delayed. The words they used in Hollywood terms implies the project has been canned and is no longer in development. That doesn't mean we will never see Superman again. All indications that I've been given are the next film will indeed be called Superman: The Man of Steel but that it will reboot the franchise and not be connected to Singer's Superman Returns. WB is supposedly taking a page out of Marvel's playbook and how Hulk is getting a redo.

His actual agent was called.

IESB really doesn't concern me anymore. Trying to be nice to what has seemingly become the competition, I emailed Stephanie on Monday to see if they heard the same thing I had in regards to WB reaching an agreement with Welling and Millar but that Gough was being a greedy *****. She's yet to respond. Now you're telling me they're saying as of Tuesday, Welling is still in negotiations. I guess I prompted a phone call??

You and everyone here knows who posted about Welling first and that I've never wavered from my position no matter how many people have come here and attacked me. It's all just a bit ridiculous at this point. I'm praying it ends soon. I don't need the stress.

As its reported that its Miller and Gough holding this up is there any chance it was them who stopped Tom being cast in SR for the same reasons $$$$ but now WB are prepared to go the extra mile to get Tom.

Obvously a lucky escape for Tom if true...

As I recall didn't Tom at least audition for Superman under Ratner or McG ?Is that what they are going on for his casting in this movie or I suppose ''Smallville'' is a constant audition.

With there now talk of a reboot for Superman after SR (which I am not suprised about as to me you can look at SR being the third in a triliogy after STM and Superman 2 as I don't see where the story would go with how Lois and the Kid situation transpired) could it be M&G want that gig and to use Smallville as part of the back story?

 

[ZIPBAGS]

Happy to hear they are going to reboot Superman. I so hated the fact that he had a kid and that Lex was still a (non-corporate) criminal. Although, The scene where he rescues the airplane/shuttle. Would have been the best way to introduce Superman to the general public in an origin film.

 

[DvilDog]

evidently these guys think they are psychic on whos not playing superman too!!! I have no obejections to their other choices of casting however.

More from Infamous emijayne:

No cast members have been confirmed as of yet but I was just told about half an hour ago the entire main cast will be revealed at the same time and that final touches are being put on the contracts over this next week. So I guess that means no news on Friday.

Like I said, put that together with my post with Welling's agent's changed attitude and the casting agencies all saying the cast is done, it does sound very good. I've never given up hope even with people like kavalier coming over and doing nothing but attack what I'm saying simply because Al Gough (the problem) is saying Welling won't be Superman. And if Robert gets the "official" word before I do, that's great for him. I don't look at this as some competition because I don't do it for a living like he does.

Seriously... another week seems interminable.

I wish one of these 'scoopers' would pass on something concrete about Tom specifically. The rest, I don't mind waiting for.

I have enough trouble making it to the next smallville episode

 

[TheLongestDay]

just something to pass the time...

I'm going out on a leap! Welling will be announced as Supes! Guarantee it! 90% sure he will take it. If he doesn't, then I will leave the Hype for a 80 earth hours. Just kidding! But I'm sure that Welling has already agreed in principle to the role. And that it's the ONLY reason that Routh wasn't cast. Truth is, even though Routh did a good job in a movie that was out of his control, Welling already has the supes mystique on him, and he knows it! He has NEVER came out and said he doesn't want the role, he just threw hints to let you play the guessing game. In less than 15 days, we'll know for sure that Welling has accepted it.

 

[SamuraiSon6]

^^^15 days....did i miss something......did they say they would announce in 15 days...?

 

[Docker2.0]

15 earth days! Trust me on this!

 

[Zorex]

Welling is looking more Supermanly than ever this season. That's enough reason for me to hope he's ended up in the role.

 

[ZIPBAGS]

Docker, Do you have any info? Or are you basing your predictions on what has been rumored? Inquring minds want to know.

 

[triplet]

Long time no see, docker, but I'm with zippy:

How'd you get that timeframe?

Speculation or do you know something?
