Kulturo: Routh fortsatt mannen av stål

[Bakke]

Brandon Routh skal, på tross av rykter som sa det motsatte, spille Supermann i en eventuell ny film om vår kappekledde venn.

Nå har jeg større tiltro til Latinoreview enn hva jeg har AICN (Latinoreview var de som i sin tid avslørte at Routh var den som skulle spiller Supermann og treffer som oftest veldig godt. AICN har et mer frynsete rykte.) Men jeg håper virkelig Routh er å finne som Supermann i en eventuell oppfølger, han var lyspunktet i en ellers smått skuffende film. Så blir det spennende å se hvem som blir å finne som Supermann i Justice League, nå er Tom Welling tilbake på ryktebørsen etter at han ble ledig grunnet at streiken forkortet syvende sesong av Smallville. Han ser jo ikke så ille ut, her i et manipulert bilde:

DJ Cotrona er (desverre) et hett rykte også. Uforståelig nok.

Uansett, så er det liten tvil om hvem som er den ultimate Supermann:

Latinoreview har også oppdatert sin artikkel med nyheten om at Routh fortsatt skal være Superman

[Kebab GUD]

er jo bare en feil sitering fra en artikkel om JLA filmen da..

Men da så. Flotters, får håpe det kommer en ny film. Singer er nok ganske sannsynlig ute av dansen og nye skribenter er jo så og si på plass. Så får se om de kan rette opp noen av blunderne fra Superman Returns. Ikke bra å ha en Supermann som lusker i buskene og spionerer på en småbarnsfamilie med supersynet sitt. Out of character....

Sagaen fortsetter, en av de mange såkalte "insiderne":

Uncle Bingo said... LR is much closer to the truth than AICN. Singer is gone, he's basically signed on with UA full time now. He wont do any further Superman movies or even WB movies for the foreseeable future. Details of settling his "pay or play" deal with WB are being finished up. With that, Routh, Spacey, Bosworth and Co as well as the pseudo-Donner continuity are all gone with him. WB wants nothing further to do with that continuity. They want a complete reboot that stays truer to the post-crisis comics and will put butts in the seats (i.e. more action). They're paying attention big time to how the new Hulk does this summer as a barometer.

 

As for the new Superman, LR was right that it will likely be the guy that plays him in JLA, provided of course, that movie has the right profit %'s going for it. Welling was the original choice and some expected a deal to be made (right around the time IESB broke the story) but he couldn't get out from under the thumb of the show's producers, even though they were offered compensation, so he was nixed. A second candidate was agreed upon in some capacity shortly before the WGA struck. Its one of the other rumored names you've all heard (that I cant mention at risk of completely outing myself since very few people know this suffice it to say its a BAD choice). There was even a set casting announcement scheduled around Thanksgiving.

 

However once it became evident that the WGA strike was going to go for the long haul, this actor then in effect became "Plan B." The studio now wanted to play a waiting game to see how long the strike would last b/c if it goes past a certain point, Welling then shakes free of his commitment to the Smallville producers and WB feels they can snag him for the role in JLA and perhaps beyond without having to pay the Smallville producers a cent.

 

The whole delay in a casting announcement for JLA, which is now a little over a month away from beginning filming, is due to WB waiting to see who their Superman is going to be. "Plan B" guy is all set and ready to go and has even been on a training regimen and fitted for a costume at WETA. However, WB REALLY wants Welling because he's the more marketable name and has a large following the spans multiple demographics and will appeal to more fans.

 

The drop dead point for Smallville to cancel the rest of their season is fast approaching in the next few days. (Obviously the strike isnt ending anytime soon so thats more a "when" than an "if" at this point). Once that happens, Welling and the rest of the cast become free agents for the duration of the strike or if the strike ends than until late next July when an 8th Smallville season would start, giving Welling ample time to film the movie.

 

Granted, they still need to sign him once Smallville goes into hibernation but iIve been told WB isnt messing around and has a big time offer out there for him, as well as offers for other films to help alleviate any type-casting concerns. From what I was told, "he'd be an utter fool, to say 'No' that that."
