After watching The Count of Monte Cristo when it came out, he was always my first choice to play Superman....

I really liked Routh in Returns (Hated the movie/script/direction and hated how Singer made him be "Reeve" instead of "Superman"), especially enjoyed his acting performances after Superman (Chuck, Scott Pilgrim, Zack and Miri) and hoped he could have used his new found acting abilities for The Man of Steel. If he had to leave, I'm super glad Cavill was cast

I would have preferred if Nolan was also directing but he has his hands full with Batman, so I suppose producing and writing the story of Superman is the next best thing. Zack Snyder is a good director so I think this movie will be great.

About Henry Cavill: I have sadly not seen anything he has done. I just read that he was once in the running to play James Bond and Batman in their respective recent reboots, before being passed on for Bale and Craig.

A lot of poeple on the IMDB and Deadline forums upset that another American Superhero[superman was co-created by a Canadian] role was given to a Brit. Batman and Spider-man are British.

what can I say we have better actors ;) :shifty:

Kristen Stewart and Glee star Dianna Agron are reportedly in the running to play Lois Lane in the new Superman movie.

According to What's Playing, Rachel McAdams, Jessica Biel and Malin Akerman, the star of Superman director Zack Snyder's Watchmen, are also in contention to play Clark Kent's Daily Planet colleague and love interest.

A source claimed that Stewart is unlikely to sign up for the superhero picture because she has "too many other juicy offers", while Agron has been "getting in the door" to audition for several high-profile movies.

Anne Hathaway has allegedly been removed from the Lois Lane shortlist after winning the role of Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.

Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, Erica Durance and Kate Bosworth have previously portrayed Lois Lane on screen.

Henry Cavill will play the title role in Superman, due out in cinemas in December 2012.

I agree, Routh did a great job in Superman Returns, and he did an amazing job in Chuck (though I want nothing better than to see him die [in the role of course] after what he put Chuck and his team through). Never seen or heard of Cavill though, hopefully he can do as good a job as Routh.

It will be a sad day if Kristen Stewart got the part of Lois Lane. Anyway out of those mention I would have to choose Rachel McAdams as the one I would one to get the part; even thought she is not my ideal choice.

I think she'd do a good job, better than Bosworth...I dont think anyone else on that list could handle it.

Rachel McAdams, please. She's great in every movie she is in.

Kristen Stewart Passes on Lois Lane; Olivia Wilde and Mila Kunis in the Hunt!!!

Yesterday folks were all up in arms after we posted what some are suggesting is the initial screen-test list for Lois Lane in Zack Snyder's upcoming 'Superman' movie. Right at the top of the list was Kristen Stewart, who many thought was just all sorts of wrong for the role of Superman's love interest. Well those fans will be happy to learn that K-Stew is officially out of the running, according to sources over at The Daily News. They claim Stewart went so far as to meet with Snyder and his producing partner / wife Deborah, but that the 'Twilight' actress ultimately decided to pass on the role because she wanted to take on more "smaller, independent films" instead.

The Daily News also claims Snyder "was left feeling slighted" because K-Stew "wasted his time," but that's probably complete nonsense since Snyder keeps it pretty cool and is definitely not one of those whiny, elitist directors.

Meanwhile, with Stewart out of the picture, the same group of ladies remain in the hunt (Jessica Biel, Dianna Agron, Rachel McAdams, Malin Akerman), while two more -- including Mila Kunis and Olivia Wilde -- have since been added to the list of actresses being considered. Olivia Wilde, hot off looking ridiculously hot in 'TRON: Legacy' would make for a perfect Lois Lane, and Latino Review claims she's already tested for the role. Could she be the current frontrunner?

With Henry Cavill set for Zack Snyder's Superman, the attention is shifting to the female lead, and Variety is reporting that three actresses are in contention for the role - though it's not Lois Lane.

Alice Eve, Diane Kruger and Rosamund Pike have emerged as the three actresses being considered for the unknown character, says the trade.

The article also mentions that the studio is currently putting a search out for its villain as well, but no names have been set in stone.

Filming is expected to start this summer for a December, 2012 release.

After the intriguing news leaked that actresses Alice Eve, Diane Kruger and Rosamund Pike were contenders for a role in Zack Snyder?s Superman, but that role wasn?t Lois Lane, the speculation began to run rampant. Who could these blond beauties play in Metropolis? Well, Latino Review is now exclusively reporting that those ladies are up for the role of a Kryptonian villainess named Ursa. As in General Zod?s right hand woman.

As for Ursa, she first appeared in the Richard Donner?s Superman and Superman II as one of a trio of Kryptonians, lead by General Zod, who are sentenced to live in the Phantom Zone by Superman?s father Jor-El, before breaking out and ending up battling Superman on Earth. Ursa?s most noteworthy quality in the films is her hatred of men and that she collects badges/symbols of her kills. She didn?t appear in the comic books until only a few years ago.

I'd prefer a Superman movie that doesn't include Lois but does something a bit more interesting with Superman/Clark's character. The whole Lois/Clark love story is tired and obvious now that the mystery and the sexual tension has been lost.

there is no superman without lois. not gonna happen man, i doubt the WB will allow a movie like that anyways.

i won't go see it if that happens. besides the die hard fans would go nuts!

Superman exist without Lios Lane. He could easily be swapped for another damsel in distress... A Lana Lang perhaps.

    • TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 by Razvan Serea TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click. Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files. Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual. TeraCopy is free for non-commercial use only. For commercial use you need to buy a license. The paid version of the program includes the following features: Copy/move to your favorite folders. Save reports as HTML and CSV files. Select files with the same extension/folder. Remove the selected files from the copy queue. Features added since version 3.17: Enhanced speed graph. New multi-threaded copy engine. Support for copying to multiple targets. Queue system for managing multiple copy operations. Support for receiving files via the LocalSend protocol. TeraCopy entry in the modern Windows Explorer context menu. Integrated toolbar in the title bar. Why receive LocalSend transfers with TeraCopy? Handle file conflicts: Skip, overwrite, or rename files when a file with the same name already exists. LocalSend always creates another copy, which can waste time and disk space, especially when resuming an interrupted transfer. Filter unwanted files: Apply ignore lists or remove files manually before accepting a transfer, so unnecessary files are not downloaded. Better performance on fast networks: In tests over a 10 Gbps connection, TeraCopy received files several times faster than the standard LocalSend app on Windows. TeraCopy 4.0 Build 28 changelog: Fixed a bug where Overwrite behaved as Overwrite All during same-drive move operations. AdvancedInstaller fixed the installer’s security vulnerability: EXE Bootstrapper resolved the %appdata% location incorrectly for the System account.
