Academy Award Nominee Amy Adams Set To Play 'Lois Lane'




Amy Adams, recently coming from  an Academy-award nomination for her work in The Fighter along side Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale was selected to portray intrepid reporter Lois Lane and is the seventh woman to play the role. 

At 36 years old, she doesn't really look that old and plus, she's a very mature actress whose acting chops are necessary for the role of Superman's girlfriend. And a little bit of trivia,  Henry Cavill who plays Superman  is a lot more younger than Adams. If you don't believe me, go check out their birth dates yourself.

But that doesn't matter at all. And in my opinion, actually better not to go with a young actress again (see Kate Bosworth). With her casting, I really like where this film is heading for now. Looking good so far. 

The still untitled Superman film is directed by Zack Snyder and is scheduled to fly on December 2012.

The New Superman: Henry Cavill



The search is finally over. And sorry for me and Routh fans out there,, Brandon Routh is NOT reprising the role of Superman in the upcoming 2012 film reboot  (reported to be titled Superman: Man of Steel) to be directed by Zack Snyder

The lucky guy chosen is Henry Cavill, who has apparently auditioned before multiple times for the same role only to be rejected. He was once called the "unluckiest man in Hollywood" because of that, but I think that's all going to change now as he finally got the opportunity to play the role of the most iconic character in comic book history and the chance to revive the whole Superman film franchise. I certainly haven't watched this guy on TV, but from the looks of this photoshopped pic, he sure looks ok for the role:

Super Talk: My Take On The 2012 Superman Film, Wishing For A Supes' Costume Tweak and More....

Alright, let's go down to some Superman shall we? Haven't created a single Superman entry since my comic book review about All-Star Superman and its direct to DVD animation (which is going to come out in February) so I think this article is just in time (and my friend Marj is asking me a lot of questions so I attempt to answer all of them here).

So, it has been announced way back last month that Zack Snyder (director of Watchmen, 300 and the upcoming Sucker Punch) will direct the new 2012 Superman film under the production and writing of Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, Inception, The Dark Knight) and David Goyer respectively.  according to an interview with Hero Complex, Nolan stated that they've got brilliant ideas for the new flick which will be a complete reboot of the whole franchise - after Brian Singer's 2006 Superman Returns failed to meet expectations.

I've got no problem with Nolan and Snyder teaming up to do this for I think that Nolan is a great director, and the same can be said for the latter. I have watched all of their films and I loved them all. David Goyer's script writing is also a thing of beauty and it worked obviously on both of Nolan's Batman films so I can't complain anything at all with this team that WB put up. I really think it was the most logical thing to do. and makes me wish nothing but the best for the revival of the greatest superhero with these men on the forefront.
