Jake Gyllenhaal is Superman?
I can't remember which magazine I read today about this. Supposedly, he beat out Ashton and Brenden Fraiser of this role. Can anyone else confirm this?

Abranut -- You would be right, if it was back 6 years ago. Nicolas Cage did signed to play Sup back then before it the project got canned. He signed a sweet $20 mil contract regardless the movie got made or not. However, I believe - Cage opted to do other projects for this money to establish good terms w/the studio.

Besides, everyone knows by now that Kirk Alyn is Superman!

I'm sure Jake is a fine choice, but this is Superman, right? He doesn't really have the body-type to play the Superman most people expect. Superboy, sure, but not Superman.

It's going to be an impossible task for anyone to following the footsteps of Christopher Reeves. I just hope the studio bring us a good movie period and come close to Spidey, Batman and Xmen.
I believe, Superman is schedule to be release Summer 2006.
We shall wait and see!

Well, actually, the latest I had heard (it was on one of the entertainment shows) was that Tim Burton had taken over the rights to direct and was casting Johnny Depp . . . oh wait, that was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (which had Cage attached at one time) . . .

I don't think Gyllenhaal would work as Supes at all. Too young and not big enough, plus he looks and acts way too much like Tobey Maguire.
