When her last update was from when NIC CAGE was on the project... I'ds say "going through a lot of change" is an understatement!

Sara, I strongly recommend visiting http://www.superherohype.com/superman/ ... it's an informative site, with news as quick as it can be printed. Needless to say, not much has been going on lately.

As far as the rumors go, Nic Cage was off the project years ago along when Burton was no longer attached to direct. We've seen a lot of crazy casting and director rumors, like Brent Ratner and McG, as well as Beyonce as Lois and Johnny Depp as Luthor. Quite frankly, it looks like there isnt much movement at all anymore lately on the project.

Don't hold your breath on this film. The wheels are moving on this project, but the wheels are moving in the wrong direction. What I suspect will happen is that it will get a BIG push after Batman...if Batman does well in BO.

I don't think we'll see it for a while. Tim Burton would've been a great director for it though,

IF Batman does well? Even the awful Batmans did well at the box office. It's Batman. It will do well.

Jude Law (a Brit) has been rumored for the job. He plays a perfectly fine American, just see The Talented Mr. Ripley. I don't know if he's right for Superman, but he's definitely better than the other guy rumored: Ashton Kutcher.

There are tons of actors who have been rumored to be playing the man of steel.
Ashton Kutchner, David Duchovny, Keanu Reeves, Brendan Frasier, Nic Cage and others.

What about the splendid news that Johnny Depp and Beyonce were up for Lex and Lois respectively?

They are digging a hole on this movie. Hell they are already out 20 mil for Nic Cage already.

Tom Welling is Superman...well he will be. Seriously he looks so much like Chris Reeve and has the physical stature for the part I don't know why they just don't wait until after smallville runs and cast him... of course welling has said he does not want to don the tights and only does smallville because it's Clark Kent sans tights

I think its going to be hard to top Christopher Reeve, he seemed like he was born to play Superman.

Where did you hear/read this? What I've read him say is the only reason he doesn't want to do it YET is the show's still going strong and for him to don the Blue and Red, he'd have to give it up which he and the producers aren't willing to do right now.

Reeve was born to play superman.... Maybe not the body for it but had the face of Kent and Superman.

I also thought Cage would be bad for superman. Superman never looked drunk and Cage always looks drunk to me.

Brendan Frassier is looks bad to for it.

Ashton Kutcher...... Nuff said....

The original Superman is STILL universally regarded as the best comic-book movie ever 26 years after it's release. A new one is a stupid idea, just let it be already.
