Fred Savage's lil brother to be... Jimmy Olsen'

Hey folks, Harry here... wow, ya know... the Batman film is getting Christian Bale and Michael Caine, and the SUPERMAN flick is apparently working on Ben Savage. Personally - I've always thought of Jimmy Olsen as an unknown redheaded actor, age 16 and around 5'3". Well, technically... my dream was to always go back in time, transport young spitfire Mickey Rooney to today... and do a series of JIMMY OLSEN films, like his Andy Hardy series, only... taking him into the future... teaming up with the Legion... but always being... SUPERMAN's Pal. Jimmy eating metal... Jimmy bouncing around... alas... Time Machines do not exist.

Hi Harry

Love your website. Ive never submitted anything news worthy before. I never have anything news worthy. I don't even know the first thing about picking a code name. I don't even know if this is what you'd consider news, but I think it's cool, and since I was brave enough to ask I hope it fits your criteria.

Ok, earlier I was gassing up at Union on Wilshire Blvd,Beverly Hills and recognized the guy behind me at the pay counter. It was Ben Savage -Fred's little brother - who use to be in "Boy Meets World". I conveniently slowy walked back to my car outside, so I could say hello. He was really nice [looks a bit different, hair shorter, and quite tall!] and told me about a few things he has done lately. I said I use to watch his series. He said he had a second call back at Warners for the new Superman film. I asked 'as Superman?' [im sure he didnt appreciate the shocked look on my face, the one that read 'as if he can be superman']. No, he said as the kid reporter, Jimmy Olsen. He said it'd be good if he gets it, and is quietely confident, and gave me a sly smile.Anyway, I thought he was a nice guy. I thought this might be something you might be interested in for your news area.

I read about your film. That sounds really good! Ill look out for it..

best of luck with everything, Adam.
