Author Topic: New Superman Movie Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-15-2004 12:50 AM                        Well, I guess there is a new Superman movie that's gonna be made for some reason or another. Rumors of Nicolas Cage starring were fairly widespread not too long ago. That would have been weird. But now they want to cast Jake Gylleiasehall or whatever that dude's name is (he is a Toby MacGuire rip-off). He is probably way too small and goofy lookin' for the part. Here are my best choices for Superman role BESIDES Jake Gylyenaihanhhhall and Nicolas Cage: -Gilbert Gotfried -Tom Hanks -Danny DeVito -That tall dumb guy nobody can understand from Everybody Loves Raymond -Shaquille O'Neal or any other Irish guy -Rosie O'Donnell or any other Irish chick -Robert Tilton -Clint Eastwood -Micheal Douglas -Pauly Shore -The late Ronald Reagan -Jean Claude Van Damme -Vanilla Ice -Snoop Doggy Dog  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

If they need more boobs, they can get Carmen Electra to play Miss Teschmacher or whatever her name is.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-15-2004 08:52 AM                        Bobby, Christian Bale is starring in the new "Batman Begins" movie that is already in production. You know the director Brett Ratner was supposed to direct the new Superman movie. But he got fed up with the fact that they couldn't make up their mind on the lead role - so he walked.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-15-2004 09:01 AM                     Brendan Frasier. He's done a couple of proto-superheroes already: George of the Jungle, Dudley Do-Right and two Mummy films. He's got the "stuff" to do an action hero. He's got "dynamic range" too: "Gods and Monsters". He's athletic enough to be Superman. He appears honest enough to be Superman. He'll need a bit of "cleaning up" or "grooming" for the part but I think he's got the basics. Finally, Superman needs to have just a thouch of comedy in him. Not a lot but just enough to do that occasional double-take. (e.g.: In the original Superman movie, Clark Kent is looking for a hidden place to change into Superman. The audience, being familiar with the original Superman is subconsciously thinking, "Phone Booth! Phone Booth!" Clark runs by a modern pay telephone on the sidewalk, pauses for a second and we see him make a subtle "Aw, shucks" face. He continues on to find a revolving door.) Imagine Brendan Frasier/Superman running along a rooftop after a bad guy. He's about to leap off the parapet and sees a rope hanging there. He pauses briefly, as if to grab it and swing, "Tarzan Style", does a double-take and mimes, "Naah!", then leaps into the air. He's done a few movies to mess up his image: Monkeybone and Bedazzled. (Too dark and too David Schwimmer/whiney.) But, if he gets a couple more movies like Mummy under his belt and is successful, I think he can pull it off.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

So far the movie has TONS of potential to redeem WB for the last 2 Batman flicks and that stillborn CATWOMAN crap. Directed by Christopher Nolan Writing credits David S. Goyer (screenplay) Credited cast: Dean Alexandrou .... Shadow Warrior Joey Ansah .... Shadow Warrior Christian Bale .... Bruce Wayne/Batman Alexandra Bastedo .... Mrs. Delane Mark Boone Junior Tim Booth .... Thug Michael Caine .... Alfred Pennyworth Charles Edwards .... Wayne Enterprises Executive Jonathan D. Ellis .... Courthouse Reporter Jon Foo .... Shadow Warrior Morgan Freeman .... Lucius Fox Rutger Hauer .... Mr. Earle Siobhan Hewlett .... Jessica Katie Holmes .... Rachel Dodson John Kazek David Legeno Noah Margetts .... Arkham Thug Colin McFarlane .... Commissioner Loeb Cillian Murphy .... Dr. Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow Liam Neeson .... Henri Ducard Gary Oldman .... Lieutenant James Gordon Lucy Russell .... Susan Sara Stewart .... Martha Wayne Mark Straker Mark Strange .... Shadow Warrior Ken Watanabe .... Ra's Al Ghul Tom Wilkinson ....

Whoever plays him doesn't even have to be muscular. The costume will make him look cut. 2) It doesn't matter what the actor's face looks like. The face mask covers most of it. He only needs to look good from the nose down. 3) Honestly, there doesn't even have to be an actor for Batman's part. A stunt double will probably get most of the tough scenes anyway. We only need somebody to play Bruce Wayne. The only time we'll really see who the actor is in close-ups, etc. 4) Finally, who CARES who plays Batman?! Even though the movies are called "Batman", it's not really his movie. The Batman series, whether it be on that campy TV show or in movies, has ALWAYS been more about who the bad guy is than it has been about Batman himself. C'Mon! You can't tell me that Ahh-Nold playing Mr. Freeze wasn't the best part of that whole movie! Can you?!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-15-2004 02:20 PM                        The background of that picture looks like the collapsing stairwell scene from THE TOWERING INFERNO.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 06-15-2004 08:59 PM                        The director of the new superman is once again... McG of charlies angles and charlies angles too, fully throttled... He was attached before brett ratner, and after brett left the project, he is again attached. They are screening potentials, and brendan fraser, who was desired by Ratner, is not in the running. It will more than likely be jayk jillenhauwl, that kid from that flood movie where it gets cold. Yeah, sounds like a REAL good idea. Ciao Dave  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-15-2004 10:47 PM                        McG? Well, so much for any chance of that movie being any good. Never trust anyone with no vowels in his name, that's always been my motto.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

Not that I watch the show...  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-18-2004 11:43 PM                     Your thinking of Tom Welling. Interesting choice given his role in Smallville, but I'm leaning towards Joe's choice of Gilbert Gottfried.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 06-19-2004 04:32 PM                    I would have saved them (I mean us...I have a few shares of Time Warner) a bundle by hiring the guy from the On Star commercial and especially the Alfred. Although Michael Caine is great in anything he does.  |  IP: Logged
