Not that Rebecca Romijn (do the girl a favor and lose the Stamos; she's on the verge of doing that herself) is anything to scoff at. I dig her. Even in blue scales, I dig her. But there wasn't a single outfit worn by Garner in that movie in which she did not just look deadly sexy.

And, yes Chaltab, my wife knows I like Garner intensely. My wife has a thing for Garner's ex-husband (Scott Foley). You should have heard the jokes we were throwing back and forth the day they announced their separation.

Eh? You mean, he's on the same team as Gus Van Saint?

Is Gus Van Sant gay?

If he is then yes.

My bad. Shimraa, kindly go back and read the beginning of the thread and you will then be on the same level as the rest of us. Thank you for your patience and willingness to be thorough.

Diplomatic enough?

any guess as to what the plot of the movie will be? Who the bad guy(s)/gal(s) will be?

I'm guessing Lex Luthor will figure into it @ some point, but anyone up for a Bizarro Superman movie w/ Mr. Myxtplk (I think I got the spelling right) as the villain?

Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Too early for Doomsday. He's the one that kills Supes. Can't have him in the show this early on. Lex is my best bet. Go with the classics.

NP

I think the story may be unique; after all, they are using a completely new superman, why not use a new villain? They can go right along their current path of destruction as in Smallville.
I just hate stupid people.

GO JETS!!!!

I think they should wait a few years for the 'Samllville' TV Series to end, and use actor Tom Welling (who plays Clark Kent in the series) for any Superman movies.

So far things are looking like this:

Director Bryan Singer

Screenwriter Dan Harris

Brandon Routh for Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman

Evangeline Lilly for Lois Lane

Kevin Spacey for Lex Luthor

Shawn Ashmore for Jimmy Olsen

Terence Stamp as General Zod (maybe)

The film is extensively prevized.

Superman 1 & 2 are being used as the origin story with this new film following on from them.

Superman has been missing for a few years and is returning to a world that had gotten too used to relying on having a 'Super' man around whenever things went pear-shaped.

The super suit will likely be classic blue red yellow but will probably get a slight update.

The costume design will be similar to the Spiderman latex-fabric combination bodystocking.

It'll be shooting around the corner from me at Fox in Sydney early next year.

Sounds good enough but I'd still have rather seen McG's take on the story.

WHY?! 75% of the movie would be a poorly done CGI Superman flying in bullet-time sequences with Prodigy music on the background. The other 25% would be filled by women in sexist, degrating roles and by awfuly delivered one liners. McG has NO talent, he's a music video director who once watched The Matrix and thought "I can do something even cooler".

Evangeline Lilly as Lois Lane? Where'd you hear this, Reg? I'm all over it.

The last I heard, it was likely to be Topher Grace as Jimmy Olson and Mischa Barton as Lois Lane. I'm thankful it's not though. I can handle Ashmore as Lane. He visually fits the part.

And, yes, Superman does come back after being killed by Doomsday, but it's still too early to kill him off in a movie or introduce the character that does the deed. You need to establish some of the traditional storyline first.

That's harsh and untrue.

McG is no story teller I grant you that but he is a visualist and has a great eye, whereas Singer is a story teller but not much of a visionary director.

The CGI I assume you're referring to in Charlie's Angels is well above the standard set by Stephen Sommers or Jon Mostow and was meant to be fantastical and have a slight edge of unreality.

The script was supposed to be by JJ Abrams of ALIAS and may have needed a bit of work but it was new and fresh and that's what we need not rehashed Donner films. We needed a new Superman for a new era and the films should represent our times, if that means soulless, shallow and empty, all front and flash then so be it.

Personally I'm sure McG would have surprised even his staunchest critics if given a tough line producer.

He has talent but you have to look past the pvc buttshot CA2 poster to see it.

And the situations his female characters would have been in would have been totally different to the CA films as those situations were largely at producer Drew Barrymore's request.
