New Superman movie moving forward.

New Superman movie moving forward. Unfortunately.
According to Ain’t It Cool News, the new Superman project is on. When I first heard they were going to remake Superman about 2 years ago, I was thrilled. At the time Oscar winner Nicolas Cage was going to don the tights. Then, for several reasons the whole project fell apart. Now, I’m hoping this film NEVER gets made for 3 very important reasons:

1) McG is signed on to direct. The only real film credits to his stupid name (come on… what kind of name is “McG”?) are the Charlie’s Angels flicks. Neither of them was brilliant, and the second one was just painful. To let this guy direct Superman is an abomination against nature and all that is holy (perhaps I’m exaggerating a little). He’s good for films like Angels, and maybe even other comic based films, but Superman needs to be approached much differently.

2) Ashton Kutcher is rumored to play the Man of Steel. I feel myself slipping into a murderous rage. Are they kidding!?!? “Dude where’s my car” boy as Superman? Why do they feel the need to rape whatever dignity the big “S” deserves? Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with Kutcher. He’s fine on projects like the 70’s show, and you’ve got to tip your cap to any man who’s dating Demi Moore, BUT HE’S NOT SUPERMAN! He’s a Hollywood hottie who makes little pre-teen girls scream, that’s it, and apparently that’s all Warner Brothers really cares about. By the way, have you seen the HORRIBLE trailer for his new film My Boss’s Daughter yet?

3) Drew Barrymore is said to be the front runner for Lois Lane. Do I really have to point out how much of a travesty this would be?

It’s obvious our friends at WB are only interested in making a teenie bopper version of Superman. This is truly sad. Couldn’t they get even one actual grown up to work on this film? It looks like instead of the epic I’ve been hoping for, we’re just going to get a pathetic Saturday morning WB cartoon version. How very very sad for us all.

You know…….as I read these posts, I am saddened. I really enjoyed the Superman movies and I also enjoy the show Smallville.

I was literally freaking out when I first heard that Nicholas Cage
had the role (thank GOD he doesn’t any more). Then I hear about Ashton Kutcher, Paul Walker, Josh Hartnett, and some other soap dude getting the part and I ask myself why? Why would WB studios cast these people in what will be an AWESOME new trilogy in the Superman saga? Why do they feel the need to get these “pretty boys” just because of who they are? I honestly would not go and see this movie if any of these people play the part.

I agree with one of the previous posts, WB needs to slow down and take caution in casting this film, just a George Lucas took care in casting the young/teenage/adult Annakin Skywalker for Episodes I, II, and III. He didn’t go out and get an already know to play the roles, he instead got little know actors who could build the part, make it their own, and not have the audeince connecting them with another film from in their career.

Personally, if I had a say. I would build the Smallville series up to a point, and transfer that entire cast to the new movie trilogy. They are good actors and actresses and can handle the parts. Who among us honestly knew of Christopher Reeve or Margo Kidder before Superman: The Movie? I certainly did not.

That young cast should be given a shot at the parts. Smallville has a huge fan base on the WB and I believe those fans will follow the film to the big screen. I hear people complaining about Tom Welling being too small? Are you all serious? He is perfect and if any changes are needed, a good trainer can help with that problem.
