Superman Movie Finds its Lois Lane, Could Soon Have its Villain

[Therumancer]

To put things into perspective, given the way they wrote the role I think "Daredevil" would actually have been improved if they had picked someone like say "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to play the role, you didn't need to be a great actor, and the guy could do the choreography. Of course the perfect person for the role isn't in shape to do it, the old pro-wrestler "King Kong Bundy" pretty much WAS The Kingpin in real life, at least physically.

There is so much about this post I disagree with, particularly your points about Amy Adams and her ability to play Lois Lane, but this was when I really tuned out.

I never said she couldn't act the part, I said she didn't look the part and that's important. I also said you'd have to see her in costume, but even so I don't think she'd
look right with dark hair.

I know a lot of people disagree with me about casting well established characters with actors who can convincingly look like them. But I never faulted Amy Adam's acting abillity.

As far as the guys I mentioned for "The Kingpin" I fail to see what there is to disagree with as they come close to the image of the character from the comics. Both of the guys in question are big bald white guys. What's more it's not that difficult to make someone look bigger than they are in the movies. Stallone is a pretty small guy IRL and there has been a lot of stuff over the years about the tricks they used to make him seem taller for his fight scenes and such in "Rocky". The point is you could make either of the guys I mentioned seem positively monsterous.


But hey, it's fine if we wind up having to agree to disagree. All of this comes down to opinion. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean, I'm mostly taking issue with you saying that I don't think Amy could act the part. My problem with her is specifically that she's a blonde and Lois Lane is not. You might not think that's important, but I do, and I myself mentioned that it might be correcible due to costuming before I said much else on the subject.

HUGE PICTURE IS HUGE!

OT: Works for me, it will be funny to see Viggo in a movie I will watch. But since Amy Adams will be in this you might as well forgive Snyder for SuckerPunch.

Personally, I'm going to wait until I see Sucker Punch before I decide whether or not I have to "forgive" Zack Snyder for it. Still, I didn't have to forgive him for Watchmen, so should be fine. There's no pre-existing fanbase to satisfy this around with that project, for starters.

I think Amy Adams will make a great Lois Lane!

Well, as much as I hate Zack Snyder, I have to say, he knows how to cast a movie. Although Henry Cavill is taking quite a chance for American audiences.

I like the fact that they cast an appropriately aged person for the role. For some reason, Kate Bosworth being a fine actress and all, the producers of Superman returns expected us to take Lois seriously when she looked like she was juts barely finishing college which was just plain out there. Casting a 36 year old in the role is just great, imho.

I am really, really excited about this film. I mean, how can you argue with the likes of Amy Adams and Viggo Mortenson, and in two roles so perfectly suited to them? I have to admit, I am still hesitant on the lead role going to Henry Cavil though. Don't get me wrong, he certainly looks the part, but I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but he seems a little young when compared to Adams and Mortenson. I also admit that I haven't seen much of his work, though I'm certainly willing to give him a chance. I will go on record however to say that I think only one man could really do the job.

Spoiler: ONLY CLICK IF YOUR PREPARED TO HAVE YOUR MIND BLOWN! NO REALLY, IT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND! SERIOUSLY!

John. Hamm. Seriously. How perfect is that casting?! I heard a rumour that at one point there was some serious talks for him to star. So what happened? Sigh. Real shame if you ask me.

Now if only it could not suck. Thank fuck its in the hands of Snyder. Cause if theres one man that can take a shit character and pimp him the fuck out its Snyder.

Ok I know this is going to sound a little fanboyish, but please explain how Superman is "a shit character"? I'm not trying to pick a fight here by the way. I'm just really curious as to why people say this, because it almost always has something to do with his powers or his personality.
Totally agree about Snyder pimping him though. How awesome would a scene like this be in a live-action film?!


Just fast-forwards to the 00:34 mark.

There's a Superman movie in the works?

...

Now that I've looked into it, this looks like it could work! Awesome people involved in this, there is.
