Superman Set To Fly

Posted by samzenpus on from the faster-than-something-and-really-strong dept.

arock99 writes "After many years of battling various script rewrites, Superman is set to soar again. Various sources (superman-v.com, darkhorizons.com, aintitcool.com) report that Brandon Routh (of Gilmore Girls) has been cast as Superman. With production only a month away, Brian Singer is set to tackle yet another super-hero film after previously having directed both X-Men and X2. Had it not been for his recent passing, Christopher Reeve would surely have been part of the production team in some capacity. Superman should hit theaters around summer 2006."

    Yeah, as a camera tripod or something...

    I'm truly, truly sorry. It's just the way my mind works.

    Maybe they didn't want Christopher Reeve's to star in this so they waited til he was dead before they did it.

    Do we have to drag their dead carcasses out of the grave to squeeze just one more penny out of the franchise?
    They're fictional characters created to SELL SHIT. What the fuck do you think?

    What are you talking about? Of course people knew who Chirstopher Reeves was. Have you never seen the original Superman TV series with George Reeves? He was the original, everyone knew him (and his problems, but that's another story) and most of the world was very happy when his son, Christopher, was chosen to carry on the legacy on the silver screen. George was and still is the best Superman.

    I have to agree with a previous poster, you /.'ers are getting too effing young.
