Like a phoenix from the cinematic ashes, the Big Red ‘S’ is back.
Resurrected by a mixture of studio executive greed and the undying love of fandom, a new Superman film has been targeted for a December 2012 release by Warner Bros.
The poor reaction to Superman Returns by..everyone, appears to have been kryptonite for Brandon Routh who will not be returning to the role. Routh’s performance, while capable, was a mirror image of the late Christopher Reeve and maybe that was part of the problem.
No one will ever be able to touch the heroic performances Reeve gave us, or the impression they left on modern superhero cinema.
Brit actor Henry Cavill, relatively unknown save for his performance in Showtime’s period-piece The Tudors, will be starring in the title role and “300” director Zack Snyder will be bringing his unique style to the table. Hopefully they cut down on the slow motion flying sequences and concentrate on hammering out a solid script worthy of the character’s history.
What’s really interesting is the fact that Batman has no idea who this new superhero on the block even is! When told of the casting news by a reporter backstage during last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, Christian Bale replied, ”Well done for whoever you mentioned.”

And if anyone has an issue with a Brit portraying an American icon, just remember, two Canadian boys created the Man of Steel in the first place!

Awesome! The only good thing about “Superman Returns” was the score from John Ottman. He really treated John Williams’ score with respect and elegance.
I absolutely loved ‘Superman Returns’! Now that I know everyone else hated it, I can stop waiting for the next in its line. Crap! I thought Kate Bosworth was a wonderful Lois Lane, still driven but no longer brittle and aggravating, and although no one could top Christopher Reeve (who’s work I appreciated before he was Superman) I really liked Brandon Routh. Oh well, I’m used to being the odd man out…..so to speak.
Glad you enjoyed it. I’m sure many others did.
I absolutely grew up and all the superman movies, tv series i.e. lois and clack adventures, and my the tv series that tops all smallville. But yup! there will be no one like reeves he always stole the show. as for superman returns, i thought they could of did better with the C.G.I. I thought brandon was ok. well that was a great blog.
Thanks for visiting!
Thanks!
