Stop bitching about Tom Hanks..

Swayze may get the Lois Lane role..

We were discussing it a year ago..

Welcome to last year..

I highly doubt it will be Hanks or any other "name" starring *AS* Superman.

As with ?Batman: The Beginning? they want a relative "unknown" and young actor. They do not want to continue the story line from the other movies, but to create a totally new one.

As has been said for a few years they want to do a Batman and a Superman movie so after both have been released they will have Bale and whoever is the new Superman make the ultimate super hero movie.

The last ?Batman? almost killed all the superhero movies due to the idea of using ?names? to make $ instead of a great story and losing so much $ and fan support it stopped production on most of the super hero movies at the time.

The only good thing to come out of that was it made Tim Burton drop out of Superman and that took the idea of Cage as the man of Steel with it.

X-men proved that you do not need ?names? to be an awesome movie, but a great story that made sense and a director who is a FAN of the characters and not somebody who never read a comic in his life.


:2 cents:

I agree with everything you said except Brian Singer was not a fan of the X-Men characters, and actually hadn't read the comic. He sure made awesome flicks out of it though

Um... didnt he say in the DVD release he grew up on them and was a wolverine fan?

:helpme

I call bullshit on Tom Hanks.

You sure you don't have him and Colin Hanks mixed up? Colin Hanks will play Jimmy Olsen.

Tom Hanks!?
Isnt he a bit old for that.
:glugglug

Christian Bale will protray Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman Begins. For some cool info about it, check out Batman On Film

The Rock would make a sweet Superman.... maybe a little too muscular though?

I agree, they couldn't have found a better Wolverine... or some of the other characters.

As with Smallville on televsion, I don't think they could do any better than their choice for the young Superman.

Sometimes you just have to go with who's best... not who's got the most well known name.

Guess you've never seen Christoper Reeves as Superman before


Awhile back I read that Johnny Depp was going to be Lex Luthor...don't know if that still happening though

It'll be interesting to see Tom Hanks as Superman. i wonder if he'll even be half as good as Christopher Reeves.

Fuckin Lame man. 3 years ago Tim burton was going to direct it, that would be pimp, then a year and a half ago Nick Cage was going to be Superman, retarded. And now Forrest Gump is going to be Superman? Every superhero movie has sucked balls in the last 20 years except the 2 X-men movies and the first 2 batman movies.


This shit is lamer than spiderman.

He's such a good actor I'm sure he's be just as good... looking forward to seeing him with that little gay curl

:thumbsup

Of the rumors I'd heard.. for a while Superman was going to be Nicholas Cage.. then Ashton Kutcher (dude, where's my cape), Brendan Fraser, Jude Law..I'd heard something about Henry Cavill as Superman. Never heard a thing about Hanks tho.

I think tom hanks is a good actor, but I don't think he'll really fit the part of super man! But hell, it shows it's not a low-budget film!

jDoG

tom hanks agent/manager is brilliant
and the casting director for superman is a moron

No way!!! Tom Hanks!! Dang! They couldn't pick someone better than that? That's like putting Jean Claude Van Damme to play Mary Poppins.

Depp is doing http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367594/

Burton's doing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory..

(with a touch of evil ) hehehe

Tom Hanks is definitely a good actor. But then, how will he fit the image of Superman?

Hanks would probably do fantastic at the Clark Kent parts. But his FACE just isn't right for it. He doesn't have the macho, square-cut facial features that helped Reeves fit the character so perfectly. He actually looked like the comic book Superman.

Unless they give hanks a prosthetic jaw, it's just not going to convince me.

:2 cents:

Yes.. Tom Hanks is playing the role of Superman.

News Flash: Gullible is NOT listed in the dictionary!

:thumbsup

yeah..boner is pulling a good fast one here.
Supposedly it's down to between Brendan Faser and the dude
Matthew Bomer from the series "Tru Calling".

Im not fucking kidding guys...

As Lensman .. He was with me last week at the Movie Insider Convention and it was the biggest talk at the show..

Just wait you sheep when you see it on Entertainment Tonight.

Then you'll see I was right...

Im not sure why you guys think Hanks cant cut it...

I mean it seems that just mentioning his name creates so much attention for the role, and hes such a good actor, all of you will see it just to see how he or the movie does..

Seems like a good decsion...

I agree that Hanks could handle the role, but I doubt he will be cast. The script by J. Abrams ... which to the best of my knowledge is the final script for the 2006 Superman Release (which I've read excerpts from) is based on a much younger Superman ... as is the Batman Begins script which Christian Bale is playing the lead. There were talks about Hanks when there were talks about Batman vs. Superman but that project is on hold as of now. Last I heard WB was giving the final say-so to McG who made a couple of statements about wanting Henry Cavill. If you're looking for some decent info check out www.superherohype.com ... they are usually dead-on with any info they release. Personally ... I'm waiting for the next 2 Spidey flix.

I could not agree more! :thumbsup

I think he is a great actor and have enjoyed many of his movies. I don't see him as being convincing in this role. I hope I am wrong, Superman has always been enjoyable. :)

How can Hanks be Superman? He doesn't fit the role!

If Dank says it's true then it must be.

Yep, for those of you who know dank, you know he doesnt have much a sense of humor so if he says it, yes it is true.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

There's also http://www.superman-v.com

I agree that Tom Hanks is one of the this era's best actors but he will not be superman - keep checking superherohype.com - they are always on the ball -

For me, George Reeves will always be Superman:

http://www.supermanhomepage.com/tv/t.../george-reeves

This just in...... the guy flaming gay guy on Will and Grace to play Darth Vadar....this just in

:1orglaugh don't think he could pull it off

I See nothing about who will be superman. :BangBang:

I assure you, I have more ears on the inside than these silly insider websites do that you guys post...

Its going to be Tom Hanks..

Who do you think runs those insider websites???

Certainly not insiders..

They are kids..

And the kids get the info from people like me.

I assure you.

Watch and see.

Its Tom Hanks..

Im not the only one who knows this.

I believe you man. Tom Hanks will be a great Superman. I can't wait to see the new movie.

I agree! He fits the role!

yep i thought so as well.

not sure where the kids saying hanks doesnt fit gets that from..

insiders and most of us 20-40 year olds agree that Hanks is the man for the Job..

I have a feeling most of the GFYers who dont agree are under 20 and never really got to enjoy the older movies.

Somewhere, in some far off land, like... Detroit... some uber-geek's head is spinning off his shoulders.


No way Hanks can pull off Superman

Wilsoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!

Damn, he must be a super hero to make a movie in one month. That is just crazy!

Superman is supposed to be always 35. Kind like James Bond. It wouldn't surprise me if they went with Hanks. I think he's a great actor and could do the job but others could do it better. Before they Christopher Reeves was set to do the first Superman movie they had been looking into Robert Redford. Now that I think would have been the worst casting of all time. At least Tom Hanks has dark hair. I just couldn't picture this being Superman...

Lookong forward to see that movie:thumbsup

A mix between roadrunner and a superbird..? I can't believe..
