MaxPower Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Yeah, I could definitely go for something like that.. Will be interested in the Nolan's take on this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annericelover Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I think Meloni would make a pretty good Lex Luthor or even John Corben, he's young enough to play in Superman's early years and is a great actor. I'd love to see him in either role. Him playing General Sam Lane, I'm hesitant on, only because he is young and even though make up can make him look older(like Marlon Brando)I think he'd be a better fit for a different character. I'd love to see a veteran actor like R. Lee Ermey or his twin play the role, I know he's basically type cast in the drill sergeant role, but it because he is so good at it.

NightAngle04 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 He could be lying but he said he was playing a general in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Ifthey haven't cast him, Meloni could be playing General Lane. He is old enough to pass for Lois's father. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 The movie has been pushed from December 2012 to June 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 That makes sense. I'd be scared to open anywhere near The Hobbit also. It makes more sense as a Summer Blockbuster along with Iron Man 3 and Thor 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 After thinking about it, I've come to the conclusion that I just don't care. Fishburne is a good actor, but I have no faith in this movie so I refuse to get emotionally invested in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Cowboy Curtis has come a long way. I personally like this bit of casting myself. It's just Perry White being played by an actor that I find enjoyable and usually does a terrific job in whatever he's cast in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid it's going to be too much like The Dark Knight, and that's not what Superman is. Those movies work because of who Batman is. He's a dark character that's supposed to be menacing. Superman is the opposite of that, and if you put him in a darker setting it goes against what he is. It also doesn't help that I'm not a Nolan fan.

Venneh Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Nolan's producing, but Snyder's in charge of directing the picture. If you were choosing someone to be worried about, outside of your dislike of Nolan, I would be a lot more worried about Snyder's track record and the movie's he's made as of late. Visually, he does stunning work. The other parts of his films... not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 After thinking about it, I've come to the conclusion that I just don't care.

Superman is the opposite of that, and if you put him in a darker setting it goes against what he is. I actually kind of disagree with the very last point: To piggy-back off of something said on Better in the Dark, Superman could be put in a darker-than-usual world and it could potentially work if he was a bright beacon of hope in such a world, rather than a product of it like Batman is. But at this point who knows what his world in this film will be like? He could still be in a bright world like he usually is and the movie could still be bad for whatever reason.
