Mary Elizabeth Winstead on Amy Adams Casting

The 27 year old actress tweeted her congrats to Amy Adams winning the part of Lois Lane via twitter...
Many CBMers had hoped she would be considered for the part, but alas, it was not to be...

I never auditioned for Lois. Not that there would have been any hope with Amy Adams as competition :) she'll be great.​
See more pics of Mary at ComicBookHotties.com.
 
That's Lois Lane....Fml.
 
Kevin Costner and Diane Lane have been cast to play Mr. and Mrs. Kent, the adoptive parents of Superman.

Diane Lane as Martha Kent? :clapping: :callme: :thumb:

Warner Bros. has announced that Diane Lane has officially signed on to play Martha Kent in Zack Snyder???s ???Superman??? reboot, marking the second member to join the cast.

diane-lane-superman-martha-kent.jpg


Now that Henry Cavill (The Tudors) has been cast into the high profile title role of Clark Kent in the upcoming Superman reboot, rumors are pouring in hard and fast to fill in the supporting cast. Previous rumors indicated that Diane Kruger, Rosamund Pike and Alice Eve were gunning for the role of Ursa, a Kryptonian villain, and the latest speculation puts some of Hollywood???s best as contenders for Ursa???s leader, General Zod.

While we wait to find out who will play Ursa and if either Viggo Mortenson or Daniel Day Lewis will be chosen to play Zod, we do at least have one more official Superman cast member to announce. Warner Bros. has just informed us that Diane Lane has officially signed to play the motherly Martha Kent!

The beautiful and talented Lane hasn???t been too busy in the last two-three years but still played key roles in last year???s
Secretariat and in Jumper, Killshot and Nights in Rodanthe in 2008. She previously received an Oscar nomination for her performance in 2002′s Unfaithful and makes for an excellent addition to the cast of Zack Snyder???s take on the Man of Steel.
On the casting of Lane, Snyder says:
???This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman. We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination.???
We know the film, which is based on Chris Nolan???s and David S. Goyer???s story, will not focus on Superman???s origins but we at least know that Clark???s parents and the iconic Kent family farm will have a role to play. Assuming that Kevin Costner's rumored role is that of Jonathan Kent, Warner Bros. is making great casting choices thus far.

Superman: Man of Steel
(not yet officially titled) is produced by Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder, and is set to hit theaters in December 2012.

Original Lois Lane Margot Kidder Gives Her Thoughts On Amy Adams And Henry Cavill

Kidder, long since retired from acting, chatted to MTV about how she thinks Amy Adams will do in the role she made famous, and also gives her opinion on Zack Snyder's new Superman, Henry Cavill..
Fans of the original Superman: The Movie and of Kidder's portray of Lois lane should find this interesting. So here is the interview in full courtesy of MTV. Kidder talks about what she thinks makes a good on-screen Lois Lane, the fan concerns that she might be a little old for her co-star, and reveals that she is quite taken with young Cavill herself!..

Superman_2.jpg


MTV NEWS: What do you think about Amy Adams as Lois Lane?

MARGOT KIDDER: She's a brilliant, wonderful actress! She's incredible. She's an extraordinarily accomplished young lady ??? and gorgeous and full of energy and spirit. She's so different from part to part, it's going to be really interesting to see what she does with Lois.

MTV: What's the key to playing a great Lois Lane?

KIDDER: Gosh, I think Amy Adams is so much better an actress than I am that I wouldn't even for a second presume to give her any advice on the subject at all!

MTV: Do not sell your Lois Lane short!

KIDDER: Well, thank you. But she's amazing, this girl.

MTV: For you, Lois was really the role that put you in the spotlight. Amy Adams is obviously much more established. Do you think there's anything to the fact that such an iconic character should be a relative unknown?

KIDDER: I don't think so. We act for a living, so a good actor is going to make you believe that's her. So I don't think that really matters. And she gets to act with that divine Henry ??? how do you pronounce his last name?

MTV: Cavill, like "travel."

KIDDER: Oh my god, he's heaven. He's heaven! He's got a sexuality! As wonderful as Christopher [Reeve] was ??? and he was wonderful and perfect ??? he was not exactly a big steaming heap of sexuality. And this Cavill really is. I loved him on "The Tudors." I couldn't get enough of him. I think the casting is just inspired. The director sounds very, very bright. So clearly there will be something interesting going on. And hopefully, they'll get the same kind of wonderful, funny dialogue from Tom Mankiewicz for ours.

MTV: Some people are saying Amy Adams is a little too old for Henry Cavill.

KIDDER: They are? Who cares! What a bizarre thing to be concerned about. She certainly doesn't look older than him.

MTV: What did you think of Kate Bosworth as Lois?

KIDDER: I thought she was delightful and underrated. Because we got Tom Mankiewicz ??? he did more than polish the script, he really did most of the writing on "Superman" and "Superman II" ??? I got the benefit of all the clever, can't-miss lines that he wrote for Lois. Very witty and sort of '30s. I don't know that they gave [Bosworth's] Lois as much of a sense of humor. But I thought she was terrific.

MTV: At the end of the day, is that what you think makes Lois great on screen ??? those witty, funny lines?

KIDDER: It's the old adage and it's always true. You can make a bad movie from a good script, but you can't make a good movie from a bad script. It's all about the writing. There's that rather rude joke about the Polish girl who went to Hollywood and slept with the writer, and that was me! When someone told me the joke, I didn't get it.

Henry Cavill's Immortals To Get A Prequel Graphic Novel Plus New Character Posters

Directed by Tarsem Singh (The Cell), Immortals is the story of the mortal Thesues played by Cavill who was chosen by Greek God Zeus (Luke Evans) to lead a battle against King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) who has waged a war across Greece all to find a weapon he hopes will help to destroy humanity.
The upcoming graphic novel which will be released in September will be published through Archaia's Black Label Division and will focus more on the backgrounds of the key characters that will appear in the motion picture which will be released worldwide on November 11, 2011. New characters posters were also recently released online but funny enough, Mickey Rourke's King Hyperion is missing from the line up. Hopefully a poster will surface sometime soon.

Relativity Media and graphic novel publisher Archaia Entertainment, LLC have formed a publishing partnership to produce and publish a hardcover graphic novel anthology based upon Relativity’s upcoming epic motion picture Immortals, starring Henry Cavill (Superman: Man of Steel), Luke Evans (Robin Hood), Kellan Lutz (Twillight), Isabel Lucas (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire), and Mickey Rourke (Iron Man 2).

Official Synopsis

Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) has declared war against humanity. Amassing a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares. Only he who possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, who have been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time and thirst for revenge. In the king's hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man's conflict. They remain powerless to stop Hyperion...until a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) comes forth as their only hope. Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes.

He's English, this is like having an American 007....SuperMan is an All American Icon....might as well have a Mexican Captain America

What he said.
 
This is Lois?

They put this broad in the wrong movie. She could pass for Mary Jane in a Spiderman movie. But Lois? Get the f*^% out. Lame.
 
May as well be a brit. I lost interest when they did away with "Truth, justice and the American way". Not gungho super patriotic, but thought it was lame just the same. They could have cast a Chinese paraplegic for the role and I wouldn't have been surprised - knowing how hollywood likes to mess with things.

Stan Lee Reveals What He Thinks About A British Actor Playing Spider-Man!

British actor Andew Garfield will be playing Peter Parker in 2012's, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Stan Lee has finally revealed exactly what his opinion on that is...
stanandspidey.jpg

Talking to Digital Spy at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards this past weekend, the legendary comic book creator told the site that he's confident that the star of The Social Network and Never Let Me Go will be "absolutely great" as the Amazing Spider-Man.

"It's great that we have a London actor. I think the more actors that we use from away in other countries is brilliant, because we are one world and we've got to stick up for that."


He also joked that his cameo in Thor will be one of his best, and most impressive yet.

"I've done that [cameo] already and like all the others it is magnificent. It's the high spot of the movie. I'm a little sorry about these cameos because people are so affected by them and influenced by them they don't notice what else is going on in the movie. I'm so sorry for Anthony Hopkins and the rest because I steal the thunder. That's the price they pay."


With an all star cast that includes Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben and Sally Field as Aunt May, The Amazing Spider-Man is set to be released in 3D on July 3, 2012!

Actor to Play Zod in Superman: Man of Steel
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced today that Michael Shannon will star in the role of General Zod in director Zack Snyder’s new Superman film, titled “Man of Steel.”
“Zod is not only one of Superman’s most formidable enemies, but one of the most significant because he has insights into Superman that others don’t. Michael is a powerful actor who can project both the intelligence and the malice of the character, making him perfect for the role," Snyder stated.

As General Zod, Shannon will go toe-to-toe with Henry Cavill, who plays the new Clark Kent/Superman in the film. The main cast also includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane, and Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Martha and Jonathan Kent.

Michael Shannon was honored with an Academy Award® nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Sam Mendes’ “Revolutionary Road,” with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Shannon was most recently seen in the award-winning HBO drama series “Boardwalk Empire,” from executive producer Martin Scorsese. He will next be seen in Sony Pictures Classics', "Take Shelter," from director/writer Jeff Nichols.

Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder are the producers of the film. The screenplay is being written by David S. Goyer based on a story by Goyer and Nolan. Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips are serving as executive producers.

“Man of Steel” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Superman actor Jackie Cooper- Dead at 88

The Academy Award nominated actor who portrayed the Editor of 'The Daily Planet' in the 1978 Superman film passed away yesterday, after a sudden battle with an illness.
 
Interesting action figure. When I was a kid the figures were about 5 inches tall. If I bought one of these I would never let kids see it. It would get destroyed.
