BREAKING NEWS: Amy Adams is Lois Lane for Zack Snyder’s “Superman”!!!

Leave a comment

So far the confirmed castings for Zack Snyder’s “Superman” movie are: Henry Cavill, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane. Michael Shannon haven’t been confirmed yet but WB’s and Snyder are interested in him though.

Here is the next surprising casting, Amy Adams, the Disney’s “Enchanted” and “The Fighter” star is set to play Lois Lane for the new upcoming, Superman movie.Yep, this redhead beauty is set to play Superman’s sidekick and love interest.

Read the full story,  here.

I love Amy Adams, and I was hoping they would get her for “Superman” but not as Lois Lane though. Amy would be more fitting for Lana Lang. Lana Lang, the redhead who was Clark’s first love interest in Smallville. Oh well, I’m sure Amy can nail the Lois Lane role nicely.

Next they would have to cast someone for Perry White and Jimmy Olsen. Who would they get for them?

My pick for Perry White would be Terence Stamp. Terence played General Zod in “Superman II” but it wouldn’t hurt to put Terence in a different role for a new Superman movie right? For Jimmy Olsen, I’d say Sharlto Copley (“District 9″/’A-Team” star). It’ll be interesting to see who they’ll cast for Perry and Jimmy. Can’t wait.

Report: Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. interested in Michael Shannon for main villain for the new “Superman” movie…

Leave a comment

The casting for the next “Superman” movie just keeps getting better and better! Now Zack Snyder and the team are interested in Michael Shannon to play an unnamed villain for the next, “Superman” flick. I’ve never seen “Boardwalk Empire”, but I have seen him in plenty of films and other TV shows. His character in the movie, “Revolutionary Road” is what impressed me the most of that film that starred Leo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet. Michael Shannon is such an amazing actor that he would make a perfect villain for Superman. I can see why they badly want him. When Michael Shannon plays a villain in movies,  he’s really psycho and makes you want to hate the guy.

Of course, they are keeping Michael Shannon’s villain character for “Superman” top secret for now, but I have a feeling that he’s going to be none other than Lex Luthor. He would be great for Lex, in my opinion. He would make an even more psychotic Lex Luthor than Gene Hackman and Kevin Spacey, for sure. Gene and Kevin both played an ok Lex, but not evil enough. Michael would be perfect.

Cool Video: Will we get a violent “Superman” movie next time around???

Leave a comment

In Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns”, there wasn’t much violence, it was pretty much a love story and a family film. Brandon Routh as Superman didn’t really fight at all. Maybe that was the problem with “Superman: Returns”.

In Collider’s interview with Zack Snyder the man himself, he was asked if Superman will punch somebody in the face. Of course, Zack wouldn’t reveal spoilers, but he admitted that he wants to see Superman kick some ass. So there’s a hint for ya that the next Supes flick should have a lot of violence and more fighting.

That’s what I’m hoping too. I’m hoping the next Supes flick will be an action movie. I don’t want Supes just saving people. I want him to do a lot more than that. I want Supes fighting the bad guys. I hope they stay away from the love story with Lois Lane and concentrate on the Superman character. That’s what I want.

We want a fun Superman movie that is fun to see like “Superman II” was with Christopher Reeve. Superman have all those powers for a reason and he needs to use them for a reason. With Christopher Nolan mentoring this movie, I think he’ll want it to be an action movie too.

If they use Brainiac or Dark Seid as the main villain, just imagine the great fight scene they would have in Metropolis. Imagine the sound and special effects. It would be quite a ride.

Zack, Christopher and Warner Bros., want to make Superman fans happy with a good film, and I think they would be successful at that.

BREAKING NEWS: Diane Lane confirmed to play Martha Kent for Zack Snyder’s “Superman”!!!

Leave a comment

First Henry Cavill have been hired to play Superman. Here is the next confirmed casting for Zack Snyder’s “Superman”. Diane Lane have been officially hired to play Martha Kent, Clark Kent’s adopted mother from Smallville.

Just a while back it was reported that WB’s was interested in Kevin Costner playing an unannounced role. Kevin wasn’t confirmed, Warner Bros’s was just interested in him. Everyone assumed that Kevin would be playing Clark’s father’s, Jonathan Kent.

Read the full story here, at Deadline.

Diane Lane is an amazing actress, so she’ll nail this role with no problem. If she’s lucky enough, she could get Oscar nominated for Best Supporting Actress in this “Superman” flick. Her acting for this film would be the one to pay the most attention to.

I remembered her in “The Perfect Storm” movie.

From the sounds of things, sounds like they are doing another version of, “Superman: The Movie”.

Lets hope they’ll get John Williams to do the score for the new Superman flick. That opening Superman theme is important and they need to keep it.

Report: Warner Bros. interested in Kevin Costner for major character in the next “Superman” movie…

Leave a comment

Well here’s the next Superman casting pick! Warner Bros. and the rest of the Superman crew, are very interested in Kevin Costner, for a major role. Nobody said what character he would be playing in the “Superman” franchise, but the most popular pick is people think he’s going to play Jonathan Kent, Clark’s adoptive human father.

See the report here at, Deadline.

Yeah, I agree that Costner would be great for Pa Kent, but honestly, Costner has a Lex Luthor vibe to him. Keep in mind that Costner played quite a lot of villains in movies over the years. “Mr. Brooks”, “3000 Miles to Graceland” and maybe a few others he played the bad guy. I know people don’t want them using Lex Luthor again, but I think they will. Costner does play a villain very well, almost psychotic and mean. He might be great for Luthor. Don’t be surprised if they do decide to use Luthor again.

Report: Will Ursa be the main villain for the next “Superman” movie???

Leave a comment

Superman’s undisclosed villain have been leaked to the web a couple of days ago. That villain happens to be Ursa. One of the three super-villains from “Superman: The Movie” and “Superman II”, who had General Zod and Non by her side. Ursa is that scary and evil looking woman, pictured above, who was originally played by, Sarah Douglas.

It is rumored that three different actresses are in the runners-up for the role, Alice Eve, Diane Kruger, and Rosamund Pike. Read the full article, here.

Today, Diane Kruger, just denied involvement with the role.

The character of Ursa have not yet been confirmed by Warner Bros. or Chris Nolan but I’m sure we’ll hear from them soon on whether this news is true or not.

Many Superman fans hate this idea I’m noticing because some don’t want another Kryptonian as the villain. Honestly, I think having Ursa as the main villain for the next Superman movie a good idea. As long as they don’t have General Zod and Non by her side, it could be an original movie, and not be a remake of Superman II. The Ursa character could be used more, as she wasn’t used much in the Superman comics, animated series, and the films.

Ursa is a character who hates men and she enjoys killing men. The only reason she teamed up with General Zod and Non, even if they are men is because they have similar powers as her. Superman having a female villain would be cool. I thought Ursa was a great character in “Superman II”, it’s one of those villains that makes you want to really hate. If they use Ursa for the next movie, they’ll probably make her sexier looking though.

BREAKING NEWS: Henry Cavill officially casted as Clark Kent/Superman!!!!

Leave a comment

Christopher Nolan have announced today that Superman have officially been casted. An unknown actor by the name of Henry Cavill have been officially chosen to play the role of Clark Kent and Superman for the upcoming “Superman” reboot by Warner Bros., Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan. As you can see Henry resembles Christopher Reeve, a little bit, they both look alike.

Deadline, reports.

Wow. Warner Bros., and Chris Nolan are hard at work on both “Superman”, and “Batman”. I’m impressed! That is called multi-tasking. First the Batman villains have been casted and now Superman have been casted. Now that we all know who Superman is, we will know who the “Superman” villains will be very soon! I can’t wait to see who the villains for “Superman” will be. Just like everyone else, I hope they won’t use Lex Luthor or General Zod again either. We want a fresh and new Superman villain. A villain that haven’t been used in films before, like Darkseid or Doomsday would be cool.

Thought: Who will be the main villains for Zack Snyder’s “Superman”???

Leave a comment

 

Now that we know the main villains for Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight: Rises”, we will soon know the villains for “Superman: The Man of Steel” by Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan/Warner Bros. I remember a while back they won’t be using General Zod, ’cause they shot down the rumors of General Zod this past year.

Look at this list of Superman enemies…

Predict which villains you think they will use. Here are my picks…

  • Brainiac
  • Doomsday
  • Lex Luthor (again)
  • Darkseid
  • Eradicator

I personally would like to see them use, Darkseid, the most. Imagine what Zack Snyder could do with the Darkseid character.

They haven’t even casted anybody for Superman yet, so we will know who will be playing Superman first before we know who the villains are. They’ll give us more Superman news soon, I hope.

Thought: Why has Christopher Nolan been quiet on Batman/Superman news lately?

Leave a comment

We all know that Christopher Nolan is hard at work at both Batman and Superman films for Warner Bros. but why has he been quiet on both films, you wonder? I think he’s keeping secrets and surprises from us that we shouldn’t know about yet.

So far, Chris has told us:

  • Superman – Zack Snyder has been hired director. Story will focus on the earlier days of Superman, mostly about Clark Kent. It will not be a remake of the earlier films and won’t be adapted from the comics of any kind.
  • Batman – Tom Hardy is set to play a main character, but didn’t say whether he will be playing a villain or a good guy character. There will be two female roles, one for female villain and the other for Bruce Wayne’s love interest. Several actresses have already been lined up for the actress roles. The film will also not be in 3-D. The Riddler will not be the villain.

That’s all the information we know so far.

Movie news will be slow around the Holiday season, so I’m sure Chris will tell us more in 2011, the new year. We still need to know the plots for both films and who the villains will be. We will know all that stuff soon. I know, I hate how they are not giving us more news, but it’s understandable, it’s hollywood.

Report: I’ve been saying this all along, “Superman” actor will be an unknown and not a big name!!

Leave a comment

Well Chris Nolan, keeps himself busy with both “Dark Knight: Rises” and Snyder’s “Superman”! You know, all you Superman fans out there naming all of these big name stars is just a waste of time. I’ve been saying the whole time that Superman will possibly be an unknown actor. That’s what WB’s and Chris Nolan are going for. They are not going for Jon Hamm, Brandon Routh, Tom Welling, Armie Hammer and all those other popular names that will be listed.

All the Superman actors from the past: George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, etc. They were all unknowns. I’m glad Chris is staying true to this. WB’s and Chris Nolan plan on going for an actor with no acting experience at all or lesser known TV actors. It’s a smart move, in my opinion.

See the story here at, Deadline.

It’s okay to pick big name stars for Lois, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, etc., but Superman/Clark Kent can’t be a big name. For a good reason too! The Superman film makers are still keeping their mouth shut on the plot and I’m sure we’ll hear something about the plot soon. Hopefully the plot will be different. We already had plenty of this Krypton, Smallville and Metropolis plots, we already know those stories so hope this will be an original story this time around.
