The WB and thier latest scheme to screw up Superman

Depp way too young. Look on the bright side, at least Eminem wasn't in the running.

As for Beyonce, haven't seen much of her acting, but Kingpin's race swap in Daredevil didn't cause too big a stir did it?

 

I never thought about Selma Blair, but now that she's mentioned, she does have a Lois Lane kind-of thing going on.

I like Beyonce and all, but she doesn't exactly scream "Lois Lane" to me.

I have given up hope that anyone at WB knows how to make movies rather than 'packaged marketing events'.

 

You believe a rumor about "the next Superman movie?"

Go watch "An Evening with Kevin Smith." I'll wait

[...] [...] [...] [yeah, it's a long f'ing DVD] [...] [...] [...]

Good. Feeling better about what (if anything) we will finally get?

The stupid thing is, the fans would be happy with Michael Rosenbaum and Tom Welling from "Smallville" and a good story...like a slimmed down version of the KS "Superman Lives" script.

 

Warner Brothers sucks? There's a newsflash.

I feel your pain. When are they gonna get it that you need more than looks to be a good actor? They keep screwing up over and over and over... BEYONCE????

Disgraceful

 

As hot as Beyonce is, WTF???????

IM NOT WATCHING THIS MOVIE IF BEZYONCE IS STARRING...
Even JLO would have been better



Actually my vote would have been Jennifer Aniston

 

Johnny Depp is 40 years old.

 

40 is still too young

 

In related sucky news...

The Superman movie will be directed by Joseph McGinty Mitchell (aka McG), the same guy who directed "Charlie's Angels" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle".

(this is according to IMDB)

This superman movie is gonna really really suck.

I thought Namor WAS the Sub Mariner.

Oh and yeah this movie will definitely suck with Depp, Beyonce, and mrpaige's favorite director of all-time in McG!

 

Wait... the Sub-Mariner OR Namor? I thought Namor WAS the Sub-Mariner. And he's ALWAYS sucked.

Crap, how do I know this garbage?

Oh well. Maybe we'll get a Silver Surfer movie at some point, too.

 

Aw, you suck Manny.

 

Holy f*ck that movie is going to suck a big one...too bad it'll still probably gross a freaking insane amount after the unwitting public is trapped by the popular star power that is Beyonce...

 

BTW, here's Harry today:

Disaster Averted! Stupidity Passes! SUPERMAN in much better shape today than yesterday!

Hey folks, Harry here... Ok, since yesterday I've been getting tons of feedback from folks in regards to the Beyonce Knowles / Lois Lane debacle. Seems that McG had decided he wanted to go with Beyonce, nothing official had been signed at that point, HOWEVER, agents of other actresses that were up for the part, their agencies, a few secretaries and assistants here and there all heard that the part was no longer available and was going to Beyonce.
THAT is no longer the case today. Today, according to a plethora of sources, the part of Lois Lane is WIDE-OPEN and the line being spread was that Beyonce was, of course, never going to be Lois Lane, but rather... ahem... that was just a really bad idea that was being floated, and... ahem... of course Warner Brothers would... ahem... never do that, because of course they respect the source material and it's long and valued history... ahem...

So, that part is still open and actresses are still trying to get that wonderful part... but not Beyonce.

In regards to Johnny Depp and Lex Luthor, I have heard no additional information one way or another. He is an incredibly talented actor that could most likely play anything under the sun, but in a million years I never would have seen him as Lex... but in a million years, I never could have imagined Capt Jack Sparrow or his Hunter S Thompson.

I will continue to keep my eye on this project... and feel free to believe or not believe as your cynical mind is likely to do... but a Pepsi Pop Tart has been rejected, let's just hope they get a damn fine actress for the role now.

 

Here you go, Oski. This oughtta make you feel better...

Big Batman and Superman Scoop?!
Source: Leo K.
Thursday, January 29, 2004

This is the first time we've heard from 'Leo K.', but he may have just dropped a big scoop on our desks. We're going to tell you to take all of the following with a grain of salt, since we're not sure the scooper is reliable or not. Here's what we received...

Ok new scooper here. I heard of this site through work and I would like to set the record straight-for BATMAN and a little for SUPERMAN. First.

Johnny Depp? for Lex Luthor. Bit of missunderstanding. What is really happening is Depps NAME, i.e. he hasn't been contacted (in case you haven't noticed, he's going to be busy for quite a while...) is being circled for the role of Superman's father, Jor-el.

Now onto BATMAN. First. The filming begins at the end of next month in Iceland and will continue until mid March before moving to the U.K. Iceland shooting-don't worry, it's not BATMAN on ice skates-more like all terrain vehicles, with Christian Bale not arriving till around March 1st. One of the cardington hangers being used for the film has large sets of a old train station of some sort, as well as housing the MASSIVE batcave.

Casting. First of all, Morgan Freeman is no longer up for Lucious Fox, but is up for Gordon. Initially he was, but when Chris Cooper refused, Nolan turned to Freeman. Cillian Murphy will play Jonathan Crane, and Katie Homes as Harvey Dents assisstant Rachel. Harvey Dent has yet to be casted, having Guy Pearce be the only one test for that. The role of Earle has been brought up to several people, none of them rather big name stars, but lesser known character actors. Same goes for Boss Carime Falcone. Lucious Fox is also still undecided.

I also happened to read the FALSE batmobile description you have. The car is still being made but is not like "monster truck". Rather it is dark black. If you have the lights shut off, you ain't seeing it. It has twin jet engines in the back, with two small fins over them. It is a two seater and has two tires on the front, that, if looking from the direct front of it, are about 8-10 inches inward compared to the back two, which are slightly larger, but not that noticable. The cars are all going to be equipped with a large variety of gizmos. The jets can burn so hot it creates thick black smoke, and oil slick, all wheel drive, bat hooks, bulletproof windshield, ejection seats, and a t.v.

The costume-jet black as well. It is not spandex, under armor, or even rubber. It is a new material, that can stretch and bend easy, but won't be overly skin tight. Padding in the ribs and chest area as well as the arms and upper legs will be added, with large black boots for the feet. There will be about 4-5 of them.

Batman MAY use other vehicles in the film...but I won't spoil that for you now. Oh and the press conference-lets just say your going to want to be staying in around the 17th (last I heard).

Is any of this accurate? We don't know, 'Leo K.' didn't leave behind any contact information for us to find out. Nevertheless, one way to see if there's anything to it will be to see if the press conference is really taking place on the 17th - that might be one indication.
