UPDATE!! Is Jessica Biel A Frontrunner To Play Snyder's Lois Lane??
Merrick again...
Received an e-mail overnight - its sender details sighting Zack Snyder and Jessica Biel heading into a sit down meal at a restaurant I won't specify herein (the sender did tell me the name of the place, how he/she chanced across them, and said he/she spotted director and actress yesterday - Tuesday).
Ironically, the sender said he/she recognized Zack instantly but took a few moments to track on Ms. Biel. Definitive proof that she'll be Lois Lane? Not even close, but an interesting (possibly corroborating?) development none the less.
More as we know more...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merrick here...
THIS piece at What'sPlaying reveals the names they've heard to be orbiting the Lois Lane role in Zack Snyder's new SUPERMAN movie (starring Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman).
Said to be among the contenders...
Rachel McAdams...who was previously connected to Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. This could make some sense given that Cavill's orbiting of Nolan's BATMAN BEGINS purportedly placed him on Nolan's radar - thus helping him (eventually) land the title role in this Nolan-produced SUPERMAN gig. Perhaps a similar pattern will unfold with McAdams?
Dianna Agron, from Television GLEE.
Malin Akerman, who played Laurie Jupiter/Slik Spectre II in Snyder's WATCHMEN. The site conjectures she may be too old to play against Cavill's younger Kent/Supes. Personally, I don't see that the age differential would be all that big a factor - or be particularly difficult to work around. Although, not sure if she's bring the right "vibe" to the role.
TWILIGHT's Kristen Stewart. Not seeing how this would work. Lois, as a character and personality, needs to be at least somewhat awake.
And...the actress the site says may well have the inside track on becoming the new Lois Lane? Jessica Biel.
Again, this is all per What'sPlaying - it'll be fun and interesting to see how accurate such insight and forecasts are. Click HERE for a bit more on the matter.

If Kristen Stewart gets cast, I'm taking a hostage...
by writefortheedit
...I mean, I like her a lot, she's gorgeous, but she's COMPLETELY WRONG for Lois Lane.
That's just so obvious, right? They'd NEVER cast her...
Right? -
Isn't Biel like 5'8" or 5'9"? She would almost be as tall as Cavill and definitly more athletically toned.
-
Please, please, please, PLEASE do NOT cast Biel!
-

-
Yikes, Merrick! Write this article up in a hurry, did we?
-
Seriously, her beauty is too distracting. I also vote for Rachel McAdams, out of that pool.
-
That would be the voice of the marketing department talking. No WAY she should have the role. Lois Lane's got energy and charisma through the roof. Kristen's heart rate probably never breaks 60bpm. Awful option. No way she gets it.
-
She looks like a Lois Lane.
Biel, notsomuch. She is just straight hot ... and as WritefortheEdit said, too distracting because of her hotness. -
Let's think outside the box, people!
-
no love triangle with mcadams mixed in
-
Snyder can't direct.

i kinda wish it was somebody like beil. if this movie goes all drama its gonna suck
by stu_pickles

Not Lois Lane... If they effing announce who is the next Jimmy Olsen rather than the supervillain....
-
Mcadams would be much better.
-
Please, there is no rule that says Lois has to be some homely looking girl...Bring on Biel...

The villain needs to be a megalomaniacal, egotistical, loudmouthed real estate speculator.
by the_choppah
-
She comes off as an illiterate dullard.
McAdams would be good as Lois. Smart and sharp.
Jessica Biel should play an actual superhero, not a sidekick or girlfriend. She's an ideal She-Hulk if you have to cast a name.
Malin Akerman. Blah. -
the rest are awful!

...MISCAST!!!

Jesus, did they put together a list of the most annoying actresses in Hollywood?
by brokentusk
With the exception of Rachel McAdams, all those choices are absolutely terrible. If Jessica Biel is cast as Lois Lane, I'mma burn Hollywood to the ground.
-
Inject something critical of Biel's acting abilities. Add suggestion of shock at even the mention of Stewart's name. Reccomend Daniel Harris for role of everything. Spit.
-
with all due respect to miss biel, i can't say she's been that great in anything i've ever seen her do. She's attractive and she's not too young or waif for the part like kate bosworth was, but i find her too bland. Lois needs to be played by someone with a bit of street cred, someone with who is ballsy yet vulnerbale, and of course attractive with brain cells, someone like marion cottilard, who Nolan worked with on Inception, or Zoey Deschanel, I think she would be great as Lois.
-
either his influence in the city of Metropolis from afar, or that he is in jail serving a sentance for a poorly planned land grab from six years prior, so that he is acknowledged, and then Superman can be free to face a true Superpowered foe. I don't care of it's Lex pulling the strings, but PLEASE make him a minor player... And a short short origin too, no need for an hour long homage to the origin. Hit us with Superman being super and saving shit all day long. I gotta see some superhero actually doing things that are super in one of these movies.
-
Stewart? how old is she 16?
and has anyone seen the A-Team remake?
Biel is the most annoying "actress" I think I've ever seen outside of jennifer aniston. -
It is her fire, her drive, her spirit that should drive Superman to her.
-
Have you seen this woman? I mean really looked at her? She is not that attractive. Lois needs to be good-looking. I say Justin Bieber all the way.

i said it once and i'll say it again, this is how the movie should go:
by stu_pickles
film opens to superman chasing down a meteor that crashes into the center of metropolis. doomsday emerges and proceeds to kick the shit out of superman in a very expensive battle where he finally punches his face into pulp. jessica beil runs into frame and holds superman's destroyed face and cries. credits. total run time 44 minutes
-
would be great if she was a few years younger.
-
First, Anne Hathaway ruins Catwoman. Then, Biel ruins Lois Lane. Damn you, Nolan!!!

Lois needs to be hot. Nothing against the contenders and past Lois actresses, but...
by cletus van damme
Margot Kidder never did it for me, and her Lois came across as a pushy bitch a little too frequently.
Kate Bosworth is pretty...but the FOREHEAD for God's sake. Couldn't take my eyes off it or her mismatched eye colors.
I know a lot of times the tradeoff for looks is poor acting ability, but there MUST be an exception out there somewhere. There HAS to be a woman out there who looks like Hope Dworaczyk and can act in the same class as Meryl Streep. -
I really hope that they choose Rachel McAdams because I think she would NAIL it. Besides, I have Jessica Biel picked out for Wonder Woman if they EVER decide to make a move on that movie.
-
about as much as I bought Denise Richards as a Nuclear Physicist. Seriously, Biel's hot, but I've never seen her do anything I'd call good acting. And, after the miserable Lois we got from Kate Bosworth, as well as the3 brainy, but fugly LL we had from Margot Kidder (at least she had chemistry with Reeves), we need an actress that's gonna knock LL out of the park both physically and intellectually, and Biel ain't it.
Out of the group mentioned, I'd say McAdams. She's cute and definitely has the brains and acting chops, but I'm really not feeling it.
Out of left field, what about Olivia Wilde? She's proven on House she can play a smart, brainy type, and she's drop dead fucking gorgeous.
Zooey Deschanel, while delectable, is almost too oddball for LL. She's a good actress, but tends to trend toward quirky, flighty characters, which LL is neither.
Ellen Page might be able to pull it off, and has the Nolan connection, but may be just too short to stand next to Supes.
Also, what about Julia Styles? Great actress, has the brains for the part, and after her performance recently on Dexter I'm convinced she's one breakout role away from being truly sought after.
Just a little bit of armchair casting, but if this list is any indication they need a new casting director before we get yet another crappy Lois Lane for Supes to deal with. -

She'd be better than Kate Bosworth who very nearly killed the last movie completely. Routh was the one that saved it from total disaster.

Jessica Biel is ok with me. The girl got some ass on her. I'm sick of Hollywood casting these stick figured bitches with the bodies of 13 year old pre-pubescent boys. Women should have some hips and ass.

Stewart and the girl from Glee? Fine, if the intent is to cast Lois as the Planet's teenaged intern. -
How did this woman EVER get a job acting? Seriously? There are thousands of better looking, more talented Hollywood wannabes descending on that town every day and someone picked her? It makes me think of that age old question, if you had a time machine, would you go back and kill the despot before he was born? In this case, I would go and kneecap the casting agent with a ball-peen hammer before he could meet her.
-
They must have made her drink Red Bull or something.

Not Portman. Check her out. She even worked with Cavill on The Tudors.

McAdams: DOB November 17, 1978. Akerman: DOB May 12, 1978. Why, therefore, would the site conjecture that one is too old and the other has an inside track?

McAdams would be the best fit, I can sort of see Beil in the role if she brings some personality. It's no surprise than Akerman is there with her past with Snyder, but i still don't see her in the role. As for Kristen 'personality vacuum' Stewart, please keep her as far away as possible from this project. For some reason she really pisses me off and i haven't enjoyed any of her performances at all. If i wanted to see a miserable plank of wood for 2 hours, i'd talk to my wife.
-
they won't consider Erica Durance for the roll. I know she's from the T.V show, but she really does make a good Lois Lane. Plus she's fit as fuck too.
-
Lois Laneishevits??
-
is the best choice. She has more of the regular working american girl vibe going for her than Biel. Biel is just way to gorgeous. Not saying that Lane should be an ugmo or anything, just that she should be relatively average. The type of girl that is smart and very together, but has that realistic/fantasy duality that would lead her to go out with nerd like Clark Kent, but fawn droolingly over Superman. A good average american every woman that is up on the times, but likes the occasional crappy romance novel. Also, even mentioning Kristen Stewart is absolutely ridiculous. She is way too strung out looking to make any character other than a drug addict or cutter believable.
-
They look and act alot more like Lois Lane than any of these candidates with the exception of maybe McAdams.
-
Those choices aren't exactly inspiring. But of those, it would have to be Rachel McAdams. Kristen, Malin, and Jessica are all questionable when it comes to acting talent. And I like Dianna Agron, but don't really see her as Lois. Zooey Deschanel is a nice idea. And there are bunch of others who would be preferable to everyone on this list, save McAdams. If it wasn't a question of age, I'd suggest Amy Adams, but I guess she's too old. But Kate Bosworth was miscast (and too young) and so would Kristen Stewart be. Erica Durance from Smallville actually does a great Lois Lane, so someone as good as her. Rashida Jones is an interesting idea. Hopefully someone at Warner Bros. (or Zach Synder or Nolan) is reading all this and seeing that pretty everyone here wants Rachel McAdams or someone else not on this list.

That Dianna Agron must have given a hell of an audition...
by thecomedian
And knowing Snyder I bet she gets the part since he has a penchant for unknowns. Rachel McAdams main problem is that she looks too much like Kate Bosworth imho. I bet anything most mouthbreathers will think they kept the same Lois from "Superman Lifts". Malin Ackerman is human bobblehead and I don't think Snyder would go down the same road again with her. Kristen Stewart will probably turn this down anyway. Jessica Biel is too...Jessica Biel. She turned down Wonder Woman a few years back but now she's up for lois Lane!?! I guess she's hungrier for a payday this time around.
You gotta go with a virtual unknown as Lois so she doesn't over shadow Superman. I bet you anything Dianna Agron gets the part or it will be some other virtual unknown. Allison Brie would be a decent choice too if she played it more like her bitchy MadMen Sugar-Momma character.
-
Rachel McAdams... the rest blow... fuck jessica biel... im sick of her spectacular body and michael jackson nose
-
...why not, right? Oh, and i agree with the one who posted Brandon Routh as Bizarro. I actually suggested that over at JB.
-
Face: 10+
Body: 10+
Acting: The standard by which all others are measured.
(I know she's not in the running - I just like her. I mean...sweet Jebus that woman is fine. Goddamn.) -
McAdams is the only one that makes sense. Biel isn't a terrible actress but she's not all that good either. More importantly she just doesn't look the role.
-
Face: A (she has the girl next store look)
Body: B+ (nice butt!)
Acting: Meh.
Still, she would make a good Lois Lane! -
Wouldn't the role of Lois Lane require that they cast someone who can act? Biel exudes the same blank vapidness that Kristin Stewart does so well. Just the fact that these non-talents are on the short list fills me with dread for this project. Too much Hack Snyder, not enough Nolan.
-
Biel's ok, McAdams would be my first choice. The rest are all terrible. Looks like they're going for stunt casting on this film, and it's unfortunate that Nolan's influence hasn't rubbed off more there.
-
I mean since we're throwing acting out the window for the most part (save for McAdams), let's just pick up a copy of Esquire magazine and pick the hottest girl we can find.
Fuck you WB. -
She always looks drunk and cant act worth dick! That goes for Biel also they looked lost and deliver their lines with dumb looks.
-
BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

If Snyder is going to revisit a Watchmen Actress
by shut the fuck up donny
it should be Carla Gugino or Laura Mennell...
Actually, either one of those would actually be a good choice, as far as looks go... -
She's got the perfect look, but beyond that, she has the best range out of all of these other choices. She has the potential to be the best Lane we've seen yet. Fingers crossed. She's the most interesting choice.
-
Which precludes Malin Ackerman and Jessica Biel. I have enough antipathy towards Snyder's action-porn movies, please let him get the casting right and let Nolan and Goyer do their thing.
-
Feb 01, 2011 1:11:56 PM CST
oh yeah, for the billionth time, CHRISTOPHER NOLAN ISN'T HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH THIS PROJECT ANYMORE, YOU STUPID FUCKING ZOMBIES....
by thecomedian
Once Zack Snyder became Director the reins were passed to him especially since Nolan couldn't get the studio to give his brother a shot at directing this. Nolan's producer credit on this will mean about as much as Tim Burton's producer credit on Batman Forever. And since Snyder actually know how to make an entertaining film with visual spectacle and great action sequences(which is what Superman SHOULD be) I'm glad Chris Nolan can go make another cold, overrated "realistic" Batman film. My only concern is David Goyer's screenplay.
-
you can kiss this movie bye-bye.
-
McAdams would clearly be a great choice for Lois, as long as she has dark hair! Stewart has lots of juicy offers already according to the linked article? Really, better than Superman? Because outside of Twilight, her Joan Jett and Adventureland movies were massive hits were they? She's too young anyway, as is Agron (who is lovely though). This was a problem with Bosworth last time. I would like to see Durance in the movie (original Lois Noel Neill starred alongside both Kirk Alyn and George Reeves), but that's unlikely to happen!
-
Well, so looks like Nolan's using Catwoman after all. Ugh. Don't get me wrong, from many perspectives, I love the Catwoman character and even sexless creepy aliens like girls in tight black leather, but I have also argued often that this character would not be congruous with the Batverse Nolan has created.
Apparently, I'm wrong. Which isn't a bad thing!
Latest now is that Anne Hathaway has indeed been cast as "Selina Kyle" but yet no confirmation on the presence of "Catwoman" as a character. Rumor has it Hathaway has done full costume testing so, I think obviously at this point, we're going to see yet another variation of Catwoman in DKR.
Now, I did always say that I'd love to be wrong if it is done well and I still hope for that. But the character so narrowly strides the fine line between the dramatic characterizations of Nolan's Batverse and the more 'comical' take as seen in previous films or the comic books.
One thing for sure, numerous people have already shown Nolan the route to NOT take when bringing this character to the screen. Burton and Pfeifer did it wonderfully if a tiny bit caricatured, on Batman Returns, we won't mention Berry's contribution (thought that film's suckage is not 100% her fault of course).
So we can basically assume Nolan won't go those routes but then what routes are there to take that would fit within the existing narrative and within a rough timeframe of a single film?
Color me skeptical that it can be pulled off but also hopeful to be proven wrong in the final outcome.
As to Supes and Lois Lane - someone above has it perfectly - Lois should be physically attractive but not the "prettiest woman in the room" super-hottie but yet her personality would up the ante on her overall attraction to Supes/Kent. Margot Kidder, in this regard was excellent casting. She's not hideous obviously but yet not amazingly beautiful either. It's her drive and personality that make her so attractive.
I utterly believe Supes anguished fury when he bolts off into the sky screaming in anger and despair after standing and looking at Lois's dead form in the car from Superman the Movie - I still get goosebumps and even choke up a bit - the moment is that powerful to me! Hard act to follow but not impossible!!!
I tend to find facial coco-puffs distracting but yet Rachel McAdams is probably the best casting bet of the listed choices. She's not overly convincing as a badass but definitely passes for fiesty which is exactly what Lois should be, etc...
Tho, I've been wrong a lot lately so I defer to the bones...
-
Yes. She's perfect.
-
At this point lois lane has very little to contribute to an epic Superman flix. I this tons of fights, and action, and explosions, and Superman in his right costume would do nicely. Like the action in Transformers two but without the giant balls.
-
Is perfect for the role. The others are all wrong.

Darth Macchio, pick up Frank Miller's Batman Year One for a realistic Catwoman....
by thecomedian
Since Nolan pretty much took most of the plot from Batman Year One and added in the bigger plot with Ras and The Scarecrow I'm hoping that's how they do Selina in this film. She's a prostitute in the narrows who's inspired by Batman and basically becomes a copy cat who tries to befriend him, become his partner but she gets the "I work alone" bit. She perfectly fits into the continued theme of "escalation". All that magical "9 lives" bullshit Burton did that was later copied in that awful Halle Berry film has nothing to do with the character.
I think Catwoman would work in Nolan's verse since The Dark Knight ended with Batman descending further into darkness assuming this "Hero pretending to be a villain" role, now hunted by the authorities and feeling a false sense of guilt for what happened to Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes. I could see Batman actually spending the 1st act of the film with Catwoman as his new partner who's enabling him to embrace the darkness until of course things go too far(she kills somebody). Yeah, it's cliche and I'm sure Nolan and his bro will come up with something more layered and complex but either way, the character will work fine in this universe. There's also the less complicated traditional version of her as merely being a brilliant expert Cat burglar with loose morals. -
Is Snyder reading opinions who to cast from the internet...Adams and Biel have been mentioned at least 1000000 times on the internet.
As for my opinion on Biel to play Lois Lane.....NO F*@@#ing WAY. -
Should be someone with a bit of spunk, a bit irreverent. A younger Kelly MacDonald would have been perfect.
-
I would like to see NO love story!! Punch shit and break buildings. And FIGHT SOMEONE OTHER THEN GENE HACKMAN AND HIS IMPERSONATER!!
-
MacAdams? WAYYYYYYY
Best looking great actress who looks the part, and has already played a reporter beautifully in State of Play.

And then, all of a sudden, the optimism I was feeling from the casting of Henry Cavill was torn to shreds by the thought of Jessica Fucking Biel as Lois Lane.
Might as well have Nicholas Cage as Supes and throw in a giant fucking spider.... -
Amt Adams's nipples are also great.
-
Just look at em in HD on Netflix instant. Lois is a smoking wreck of a housewife and Ursa is blast furnace porcelain.
-
I love Robin. She looks so much like Margot Kidder. If Supes had a few more years on him, she would have been perfect
-
Rose Byrne! But I guess she's in X-Men..
Maybe a bit hard to believe that Lois as played by Hatcher in that submoronic TV series was a Pulitzer prize winning journalist, but having now grown up to know several writers who are complete bimbos, maybe she did her research. What a set of rockets that girl had...
Lois should have some tight T&A going on, project intelligence, and be something of a bitch.
Biel's got a nice body especially that onion ass but I've never found her to have any charisma or believability in any role aside from when I cast her in my whack-off fantasies (thanks for the double-oral teamup with the grown-up younger sister from Party of Five, Jessica!). Margot Kidder was kinda haggard playing Lois, but she came across likeable even while being a cunt to Clark.
Carla Gugino would have been good five years ago, but she's in her forties now isn't she?
Rachel McAdams is probably the best choice out of current mainstream actors. -

I doubt she's even being considered, though, and that's a shame.
-
SHE RUINS EVERYTHING SHE IS IN.
WORST PART OF A-TEAM, A MOVIE FULL OF BAD. -
It's a wider than normal nose at the tip for the role when you compare that guys face to the other actors who have played him as wel as how he looked in the comic versions. No need for surgery. If we can do a full human head in benjamin button and tron legacy and we can do a no nose job for harry potter. Surely we can drop a digital fake nose onto a real face.
-
ANYBODY other than Jessica Biel, please!
-
Otherwise the age difference is too much, even if she does look like a younger and healthier Margot Kidder.
-
I'd actually vote for Mila Kunis
-
What the ---- ?
You have got to be kidding me.
I can only hope that whomever they get has even 1/4 the on-screen chemistry that Reeve and Kidder had in Donner's original. Just 1/4, that's all I ask. Please.
For me, the scene on Lois' rooftop patio is one of the most wonderful scenes in the entire film. The actors are likable, playful, spunky, believable.
"VERISIMILITUDE!" -
Time Traveler's Wife FOR THE WIN!!!!! I just had to look her up to remind myself who she was. She works 100% for me.
-
Rachel McAdams is boring.

We need another Superman movie like Harry need to be fucked up the arse by a giant robot Orc.

RFLMAO, COMEDY GOLD
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAW!!! -
She's the most "lois-y" of the bunch. Jessica Biel - dunno - her acting has been all over the place.
Glee-girl - eh.
And Kristen Stewart? *yawn* other than her Joan-Jett movie, haven't seen her in anything w/ enough weight in the role to be enthusiatic. -
...with Nolan chaperoning this, "stunt casting" shouldn't be a problem for us to worry about. And with names like Stewart and Beil in that list; along with McAdams (the best actress among the three) I believe the Stewart and Beil have no shot at being cast. Looks like they may go with an unknown for the leads and cast big with the villains and supporting roles. (Perry White and Lex Luthor)

Lois Lane is a confidant woman. Stewart would be a horrible choice. I'd like to see Stana Katic get the role. She'd be great!
-
David Goyer's writing it.
Zack Hackenstein is directing it.
They hired a boy in the lead.
This has got so many strikes against it already, they might as well cast Jessica Biel.
Might as well keep the shit-brown-red and turquoise costume, too.
While you're at it, have Lex Luthor give it to him from the front this time.
A superhero who absorbs energy from the sun and converts that into ridiculous powers should at least be colorful and smile every once in awhile.
Think that'll happen? -

This piece of shit is looking worse and worse, which I take very personally,
by inkingeekx
as I've vehemently defended Zach Snyder and Christopher Nolan and superman is my favorite hero. I've also prided myself on not "trolling" but I feel as though I've become what I despise. If Kristen Stewart gets cast, I swear to god I'll kill myself-that'll be on your head, Snyder. None of these people are right for this. Margot Kidder was ugly as shit, but she could act. Stop looking for the prettiest face and get some goddamned talent!
On an untwisted note, I'm also very upset to learn that Parallax is the main vilain in Green Lantern. I had almost zero hopes for that film with Ryan Reynolds in it, but now all hope is lost-seeing as how they have completely destroyed the continuity of the story. Hal Jordan battling Parallax huh? Fucking bastards... -
...the supporting roles are Jeff Bridges as Perry White (but he'd make an awesome Luthor as well), Joel Moore as Jimmy Olsen, but I'd like to see Carla Gugino as Lois Lane. She has the look and can pull off the tough as nails personality that the role requires, and McAddams is a bit too cute for the role.
-
Awkward.

She's hot and I can totally buy her as being literate.

McAdams will probably get screwed again as she did in IronMan casting.
-
I like her. She pulled off a tough role in Watchmen. McAdams too obvious. Biel? No
-
Someone mentioned Alison Brie and I like that idea too. Not sure she could pull it off as well as McAdams, as she doesn't have as much experience, but I could see her in the part.

i skimmed through the TBs and saw someone say "onion ass". good shit
by yourstepdaddy

Very true how she totally smoked Margo Kidder. Same for Margo Hemingway and Annete O'toole in the latter sequels. But something about Kidder worked even though I didn't find her that attractive...she's not hideous as I said earlier but not dropdead gorgeous either. But I always cared for her character and even when she treated Kent like an ass, I didn't hate her. But that fiesty and firery personality is definitely needed for this character. She's not a damsel in distress but not a badass either.
Biel is way too sexy for Lois Lane. She's basically too smokin hot sexalicious for anyone other than herself (she looked odd in the victorian getup in 'The Illusionist' but i dont think her acting was as bad as some of you seem to think - but she is distractingly hot)
Unfortunately, most women I ask won't wear the Ursa supersuits I make out of edible panties.
Something about "chaffing" or something. -
Physically she's perfect and she's great on both Mad Men and Community. But I've never seen her play anyone tough.
-

Remember... Pixar says "It gets better."

If they weren't going so young, I'd suggest Michelle Monaghan.
by chewtoy
Lois needs to be played by someone who seems like they could hold their own in a bullpen of male reporters, or out on a dangerous investigation. Yeah, it isn't the 50's any longer (hell, it's questionable whether the Daily Planet would even be a newspaper in this adaptation), but Lois should be believable as someone who got to the top of her profession and didn't do it on looks alone.
I'm surprised that Ellen Page wasn't on the list after doing "Inception" for Nolan. She's feeling a bit overexposed right now (which is odd, since she really hasn't been in all that much) but out of younger actresses she has the best demeanor for Lois, in my opinion. She's definitely younger than I would cast if I were calling the shots, though. -
She's a real woman with a personality. Biel has the body but I'm not so sure about her acting chops. McAdams, Monaghan, or Caplan are your best bets.
-
awful at acting.
-
Biel just can't act. At all. McAdams is good.. I think Jones is a quirky yet workable choice as well..
-
obviously
-
And what horrid casting she turned out to be.
-

Malin Akerman (like Emily Deschanel) looks like a fucking alien
by juice willis
Jessica Biel? C'mon! I need to be sold that this incarnation of Lois Lane could hang in the cutthroat, ego-thick environment of a major metro newsroom. Alison Brie or Rashida Jones would be ideal.
-
Is this really the best they can do? Might as well just discover new talent if you are going to go with this redundant and uninspired list.
-
Lois needs to be more than just a pretty face. Biel, McAdams, and CERTAINLY NOT Ackerman would do.

Oh, if Rachel McAdams is young enough, they can definitely go with Michelle Monaghan.
by chewtoy
Great actress, can play ditzy (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) or tough (Trucker), funny, sexy and looks the part.
-
After 70 years, Superman finally deserves a girlfriend with fantastic T & A.
-
...should just have their voice dubbed by Dana Delaney (aka the sexiest and smartest Lois Lane EVER).
-
better not be the fuckin closeted racists who are hating on Will Smith making a "black Annie"
if they are, maybe when Willow is of age, then they will not hate her so much. so in that regards, thanks for not being pedophiles -
I honestly dont know shit (or care) about Lois Lane, but I really got a huge crush on Brie now so I wouldnt mind her being cast. ever since Community mentions her breasts in every other episode, made me realize how cute she is... sad to see she dies in the Scream 4 trailer though
other good choices I saw... Michelle Monaghan, chick is nice. I like the not so gratutious titty shot in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
but we all know Rachel McAdams would be perfect. also another chick that is nice
and if somehow Malin Ackerman is cast, SHE BETTER GET FUCKING NAKED. thats the only legitimate excuse to cast her in anything (have you ever not seen her get naked?)
-
Jessica Biel - first really stacked Lois Lane. Could be interesting. I actually think Kristen Stewart would make a fine LL. Go ahead, shoot me. I enjoy the Twilight movies, too. Sure, they're not exactly Shakespeare. But they have an amiable likability to them.
-
She's a brilliant actress
-
I'm not particularly supportive of any of these as Lois Lane. Not that some of them aren't good actors. I think Kristen Stewart was good in Adventureland and Panic Room back in the day. Rachel McAdams hasn't been in a particularly good film as of yet but I think she has talent and does well with the (generally poor) material she chooses. I just don't see the ballsy head strong confident and determined qualities that made Margot Kidders Lois Lane so appealing in any of these actresses.
Now obviously sticking too close to the Richard Donner Superman asthetic was a problem with Superman Returns but Lois Lane is a tough lady. It's part of who she is and I don't see that in anyone on this list (I thought Biel maybe until I remembered the authority she lacked in The A-Team).
I'd be looking at Michelle Williams for this role and if she wasn't interested I'd give Carey Mulligan an audition. Perhaps they wouldn't fit but I suspect both have the capability to play the strength required and in my opinion can act anyone on this list off the screen. -
Just an idea. Not the best actress ever, but kinda looks the part of Lois.
-
Just don't see her as Lois Lane. And let's not even start about Kristen Stewart. 1) She's too young. 2) She's in Twilight, which automatically taints her. 3) Did I mention that she's in Twilight?
-
...all brassy and in your face... Sexy, but real...
HAND PARTY, BABY! -
Dye her hair and she's perfect!
-
That tight costume she wore in "Watchmen"... there was hardly an ounce of fluid left in my body guys, I tell ya.
-
that line makes me wanna ignore any future post by bobthegrinch...
she was terrrrrrrrrrrrrible in it. putting your hair back behind your ear over 50 times (as said in imdb) is not acting. you are not Joey Potter KStew -
man, I loved the way she arched her back in that scene. she did a good job acting in that scene (everything else was some shit)
-
No, I mean it. I just watched 'Piranha 3d' for a laugh and was shocked at how strong a personality she's got. She's so commanding it seemed like she was in another, better movie. And looks-wise, she was *born* for superhero movies. And finally, how do we first meet her in 'Piranha'? At an ice cream stand, doing girl-talk with an eleven-year-old. She was too much talent for that movie; I'm expecting a breakout role soon. But wait, she's 31, so she might be too old?
-
Every single movie she has been in has made less money than expected. It's because people think she's annoying. Blade 3 was only good at all because of Ryan Reynolds. Don't cast her in films Hollywood. Nobody how good she is at sucking your cock or eating your pussy. She's a box office cooler.
-
that's all

If it makes you feel any better, that sentence makes me hope you do.
You don't have to always agree with someones opinions to listen to them. -
Im all for people having opinions thats different from mines (I like X3 and SM3 over the 1st two installments) but come on! nothing she did in that movie constitutes to good. she was terrrrrible
why couldnt that movie end with her stepmother choking the hell out of her fidgety ass?! -
Margot Kidder was 29 going on 30 when she did the first Superman, as opposed to Christopher Reeve who was 25. Worked out pretty well, I think.
Incidentally, she was a hot little number who was believable as a reporter.
Lois Lane needs to be played by a woman, not a prepubescent little girl like Kate Bosworth or Kristen Stewart. -
Feb 01, 2011 5:24:54 PM CST
Although Erica Durance doesn't stand a chance in hell of getting the part
by i_max_u_mini
She is still the best Lois Lane to ever grace the screen. The right amount of spunk and sexuality to satisfy the role.
-
I'm sorry but people like Scarlet Johansen and Beil are just too shallow to participate in something of this caliber. The fact that they get with JT should be a red flag. Jessica is more suited for Sandler comedies and making faces at the camera at basketball games.
-
She's a child! ... NEXT!
-
Laura Prepon. She's been looking for a new breakout part and she's about the same age as Cavill. Other ideas: Reese Witherspoon, Kristen Bell, Kate Mara, Michelle Monaghan, Jill Wagner.
-
Look guys... and I'm talking to the guys here...
It's happened to all of us. We've been working in an office, or a warehouse, or anywhere... and there's always been ONE WOMAN COLLEAGUE.
One woman colleague, who was 5-10 years older than us, who for some reason got us pretty worked up. We'd accidentally brush past her, and catch a whiff of her perfume - and we'd have to run to the toilet to work it out of ourselves.
We've all encountered that woman. That woman who was so blissfully unaware of how damn hot she was, would always think we were kind and sweet, without ever truly knowing that we would sell one of our kidneys to FUCKING NAIL HER.
Supes needs a woman like that. -
She seems to be the most one note actress going simply playing the same role each and every time. Shes always the zany free spirit who understands the akward protaganist and brings out the best in him. Her delivery and manner is always the same as well. Quite unremarkable.
-
that means NO to Rachel McAdams, Malin Akerman, and Kristen Bell.
seriously, why isn't Rebecca Hall on the list of potentials? she'd be perfect.
i think the Biel version could work. she'd definitely make a convincing ass-kicking/hurts-so-good Lois.
but just to reiterate my main point: bobbleheads & freaky foreheads need not apply! -

Because she's fucking GORGEOUS!
And she seems to be able to act ok too.
By the way, I want a full penetration sex scene! -
would be better than Jessica Biel.

Tell me that she's not the perfect Lois Lane. -
I personally think she is a better choice for Lois than the actresses mentioned.
Jessica Biel has too much of a tomboy look to her and Kristen Stewart comes across as an immature cunt. Rachael McAdams isn't a terrible choice I suppose. -
Feb 01, 2011 5:56:44 PM CST
Wait a minute, if the original rumors are true that General Zod is going to be the villain then BIEL WOULD ACTUALLY BE A PRETTY DECENT URSA!!!
by thecomedian
And they can even give her a fake English Accent so we can have an Englishman playing an American hero fighting an American playing a villain with a British accent. Probably won't happen though.
-
the ones I saw after reading all the comments that I liked...Mila Kunis, Alison Brie, Evangeline Lilly
as much as I like Rashida Jones I don't see THIS being her big break out role...I actually don't see her ever being more than just a supporting type actor
out of the mains listed in the article...McAdams is the clear best choice -
Seriously, WTF is up with these casting choices for Lois Lane and the one for Selina Kyle. I still can't fucking believe that plain jane Anne Hathaway was the best choice for Selina Kyle.
-
Aside from McAdams, that is a giant, sinking failboat of casting choices.
So many talented actresses out there and that's the best list the Snyderman team can come out with? Wow.... Just wow..... -
if she's available then Emily Blunt gets my vote...
-
The others are just BLAH or oversaturated in cinema(McAdams...cough...Stewart...cough..ahem)
-
is a great shout and is obviously on Nolan's radar (she was in the prestige) and her work in Red Riding alone is better than anything on any of the other actresses apparently being considered but I don't see it ever happening.
No idea who Lisa P is, but yeah, I still do think Stewart was good in Adventureland. -
She's a WOMAN, and wouldn't be physically overpowered by the boy playing superman. The thing that worked so well with Reeves and Margo Kitter was that they both looked like ADULTS, and Routh (who I thought was great) and Blue Crush chick was they felt way too young (it was laughable that blue crush was playing a pulitzer prize winning writer). Akerman will bring maturity to the role AND the looks + Coy sexual playfulness needed... I like it!

Was the last "purely spank bank material" Lois Lane. I did like her take on the character wanting be taken seriously even though everyone at The Planet probably thought she blew Perry White to get her job. She also got Lois' cynicism down pretty well. But as the scripts got sillier she just got skinnier and more annoying.

Feb 01, 2011 6:59:06 PM CST

by thecomedian
I didn't see Sherlock Holmes so all I know her from is Mean Girls and The Notebook. She just seems kinda boring. I used to confuse her with Elizabeth Banks all the time. Elizabeth Banks would actually be a better Lois if that's the case but I don't even think she (Banks) would be that great in the role. I have a feeling it's going to go to Dianna Agron since she's the only non-name amongst them. Either she gave a fucking awesome audition to be on this short list with all these actual names or she must give a kick ass performance in "I Am Number 4." I bet it ends up being her or someone not on this list.

Yummy. -
What's the deal? Are you Dickblood or what?
Spill the beans, foo! -
Poor, poor Ryan...
:***( -
Jessica Biel stops any movie she's in, dead. To this day I'm pretty sure you could edit her entirely out of A Team and the movie would be missing nothing. Sure she's hot, but that's about it. They made a casting mistake in the last Superman movie, it'd be a shame if that were to happen again.
-
but she reminds me of billy bob from sling Blade
-
McAdams as Lois Lane would be radtastic! And throw in Lobo and Bizarro while you're at it. "...needs to be at least somewhat awake." That's funny, Merrick.
-
I can dig it. Better yet, make her Wonder Woman.
-
A girl never tells.
-
Love her and all. But McAdams is the only choice in that list that makes sense. Not a great list though, so not saying much.

Olivia Wilde perhaps?

given that he was trying to copy everything about Donner's films, and she looks a lot like Kidder.
But I don't want her in this one. -

in this case cgih8r? If you're interested in a Superman flick, shouldn't it be more important who the villain is as opposed to if the girl playing Lois Lane is gonna win this film an Oscar? Get real. And by the way, cgi hates you.
-
...one of the most painfully dull actresses to ever and I mean ever to grace the silver screen. Absolutely nothing about her is even remotely interesting and she isn't very attractive either. Sorry but she can not play Lois Lane. Please. Just because she recently played a reporter in that Harrison Ford movie doesn't mean that she can play Lois Lane. I'm sure everyone in Hollywood is that retard that consider her for this because of that.

Either less than desirable fates have happened to the actors playing the role (what's Dean Cain been up to? Routh?), or the whole sorry affair is a big waste of time (Routh's pic too).

KUNIS! KUNIS! KUNIS! KUNIS! KUNIS! Don't even pretend that fucking Zack Snyder's Lois isn't going to be a megababe, like she is in every single fucking comic book ever, people. The megababe that should play her is totally Mila Kunis who needs an oppurtunity to play a completely "good" character and can bring the essential sass. If Snyder weren't directing I may agree with other choices I've seen on this talkback (especially Rashida Jones and Rachel McAdams), but dear lord is this begging for some Kunis. Like I am.

imjustsaying makes a good point. I can see Snyder peppering the film with the many Superman themed songs from the last 50 years. "Sunshine Superman" REM's "I am Superman" and God help us if he uses the Five for Fighting song blech!
-
IMDB'd it and STILL didn't believe it. She and Bosworth are SO much alike in that. Even down to the voice and mannerisms. I think she or Ackermen should get it. Not Biel or Stewart, please. I trust Nolan and Snyder.

I hope Nolan will make the right decision and make JGL The New Joker...
by thecomedian
Look Heath Ledger was awesome in the part but The Joker bigger than him and JGL looks just like him so it makes sense. The Joker is Batman's greatest villain. He deserves to live again on screen even if it's just in a cel in Arkham pulling strings and having Hardy's Bane do his dirty work. But Nolan's going to stick to his guns just like he did in not using any villains from previous film in this third one...oh wait.
-
Any one of those three might do a good job. I'm on board Kelly Brook for Wonder Woman! Damn, she fine!
And, Rashida Jones is beautiful and looks nothing like Margot Kidder. -
I wanted Levitt to play the new Riddler as well. I should have clarified this last post... Levitt as Riddler was only after Nolan announced that he wasn't gonna do the joker. But i originally felt that Levitt would absolutely KILL as the joker, sans makeup, in arkham asylum.
The similarities, physically and otherwise, between Heath and Gordon are just downright eerie... -

She has a sexy yet athletic look that would be PERFECT for a Wonder Woman, Invisible Woman, really any female superhero role. But I do not see her as Lois Lane at all.
Kristen Stewart. Really? That's idiotic.
Malin Ackerman I could actually see working. I guess alot of people didn't like Watchmen, but I dug it, and I thought she did a good job in it. I feel like she doesn't have much of a chance against some of these other girls, though.
Rachel McAdams is a solid pick. She has the perfect look for Lois for me, and she's been good in everything I've seen her in.
Latino News is reporting they have reliable information that the role may go to Olivia Wilde. I think that's a very interesting choice. Wilde is sooo sexy and I could see her pulling off the ball busting and "I've gotta prove Im just as tough as the boys" news-woman attitude that defines Lois Lane.
For me it's a tie between McAdams and Wilde with slightly more interest in Wilde's take on Lois. -
You may as well make Superman gay and cast Jeremy Renner as Louis Lane.
Kristen Stewart being the worst. Blinking, umming, shaking your head and running a hand through your hair one thousand times a film is not acting. It's called bad acting. -
They may be the same age but Akerman looks like she's been ridden hard and put away wet...nice body but AGED face (or too much tanning).
Besides, I don't think she has the acting chops...she's fine on rom com fluff ("couples retreat") but,....for whatever else was WRONG with "Watchman", her character is supposed to be THE emotional lynchpin...and she's TERRIBLE and completely dropped the ball. Soap opera emoting at best.
McAdams in a walk, though Rashida Jones (a black Lois) and Emily Dechanel (Zooey's sis...the 'Bones" chick) would be interesting choices too.
As to Biel....please, get real.... -
...why not? Some say too old but we were stuck with the haggard-looking Margo Kidder. Cox has the right spunk for it.
-
She might not have been super hot, but Margot Kidder was spot on with her pluckiness and wit. Lois needs to be quick not super hot. hope one of these is considered
-
clearly fucked up Merrick's ability to type :D that paragraph is hilarious, lol
-
She average at best and looks slightly better than Kate 'not close to being Lois" Bosworth. And she not that good of an actress anyways.
If Rachel McAdams and Jessica Biel are the major candidates on the list for this Superboy failure film than either one will do I guess. -
I don't get it, they just CANNOT make a good Superman movie! First, they get Routh, a GREAT superman, and put him in that piece of shit opposite Kate Bosworth (who can't act) with a shitty director. Then, they get a good director, good producer, and they dump Routh for some nobody. NOW they're going to put ANOTHER pretty idiot in as Lois Lane!!!
C'mon, maaaaaan! -
You know you want it!!!
-
Yes the show was utter garbage... honestly just a few notches above the Superboy series of the late 80s. But Teri Hatcher really was the perfect Lois... so goddamn hot it would distract even Superman.
I do agree with the poster above who suggested no romance. How about a Superman movie where we're not dealing with his personal problems? -
In Lois' introduction in the 1978 movie she keeps asking how to spell stuff like "genocide" and "massacre" etc. and they play it for laughs.
I need to watch this again. I love the Daily Planet newsroom scenes. I always thought it looked like the most exciting place to work, being in all that hubbub and on top of all the news. -
Yes. Yes I am.
-
I'm telling you who would be perfect as Lois Lane...Rashida Jones from The Office and Social Network. She's beautiful and has a kind of Margot Kidder look about her, although she is much better looking. She would make a great LL. Nolan...are you listening? Snyder...trust me, it would work.
-
He could play a wooden version of Metalo
-
I realize that the comments here are from of the geekiest fanboy people around, but I still find it funny that while the general consensus by lots of the posters is that McAdams would be the best choice, they're just gonna go with Biel or someone else anyway.
As far as age goes, why not have Lois be older. The whole "cougar" thing is popular these days. How many leading men get paired with women ten years younger? Why not reverse it here. -
Bring back the Hatch for Lois.
-
Why I ask you?

She's way hotter than butchface Biel, who was the worst thing about Blade Trinity. That and she has a cute ass.(That Silly sex scene in Watchmen displayed her "Assets' well.)

Biels could make a decent Lana Lang but not Lois. Mcadams just strikes me as an older version of Kate Bosworth. I don't even know why they're interviewing Kirsten Stewart.
I hope they consider Zooey Deschanel or Gemma Arterton. If we want a younger actress, I like Addison Timlin who is currently on Californication. -
Feb 02, 2011 12:44:19 PM CST
Don't like any of those choices and don't trust Snyder with Superman.
by moonlightdrive
Snyder is too stylistic. He's wrong for Superman and his casting choices, whilst ok for the other movies he's done, don't work for Superman.
Really don't want to watch two hours of McAdams in anything, let alone this. Biel is hot but wrong for this part. A lesser known actress would be best. Don't need recognisable names or faces to sell Superman. -

Kidder Had The 'Tude, But She Looked Like A Whithered Crone
by neonfrisbee
She definitely turned in a great performance, but she's kinda fugly. Lois needs to be hot AND have the 'tude.
-
She just doesnt have the look of a lois lane. The charisma of a lois lane. And she looks way to young. Her acting style is not a good match.
-
OK, I've not seen much of her acting (she was one of Lex Luthor's girlfriends on Smallville), but here in Britain, she's known for her looks and for being a crap TV presenter. She was even out of her depth interviewing Jake Lloyd when The Phantom Menace came out!
-
A total unknown actress would be better.
-
She would definitely get my vote!
-
is that Cavill is 27 so ideally you want someone in that age range or at least someone who can pass for that age range.
-
I think Keri Russell would be a good choice. She demonstrated some fine acting chops in that Waitress movie.
-
Rachel McAdams... totally could see her in the role. Jessica Biel would SUCK. S-U-C-K. Even worse than Kate Bosworth did. Yes, I said it... she was awful as Lois Lane. You want to see how Lois should be done? Watch some Smallville. Lois Lane kicks ass and takes names. Jessica Biel isn't that person. Not remotely.
-
...that chin looks indestructible, seriously. When she had the bangs cut thing goin on in Watchman, it looked liker she could bite the wallpaper right off your wall without scrunching her nose. Like, if she was laying down and someone poured water over her face, hardly any would run over the sides of her head as her face sort of has "plate"-like tendencies.
Not saying she's fugly or anything of course (she looked great in 'couples retreat' or whatever it was) but I think she's not the best fit here.
But she'll probably get the role as she's likely cheaper than the others and Snyder's already worked with her.
-
McAdams is awesome. She's beautiful and appears smart. This thing however, will collapse if that zombie stewart is cast. Awful actor.
-
Who was too young and timid for the role. I love "Superman Returns," but Kate Bozworth was miscast.
-
Half-black, white mama, black Daddy . I dig her, but she doesn't have the 'tude of LL.
-
And you aren't? I find that hard to believe.
-
I'd say that Nolan can't possibly be stupid enough to cast a talentless ass model as Lois Lane, but then I'd have to ignore the fact that Katie Holmes was in Batman Begins. So yeah, this is probably about right.
-
Eva Green
Amy Adams
Rashida Jones
Radha Mitchell
Michelle Monaghan
Marion Cotillard
Anyone, but Biel or Stewart. Miss Piggy would be better cast than they would. -
which was horrible casting, now Jessica Biel is considered for Lois Lane?!? terrible, terrible choice.
-
That would be interesting.
Therefore, it will never happen.
-
Why are so many of you insisting that Lois Lane be hot as if that is her defining characteristic? Are you all really that starved for jerk-off material that you need some "mega-babe" to be cast in the latest unnecessary Superman movie?
-
Lois should be smart, sexy and spunky. Margot Kidder fit two of those, but she was really not very attractive. Phyllis Coates, Noel Neill and Teri Hatcher were all attractive, but were not totally right either. Erica Durrance is beautiful, but I hate that terrible show and haven't seen her on it, so I don't know if she's lacking or what. She doesn't necessarily have to be "hot", but she does have to be sexy, like Lois in the comic books.
-
not jessica biel. ffs, not jessica biel!
-
I have nothing against Biel, but I can't see her as Lois, unless they really change Lois's character.
Like supervillain said, Olivia Wilde... now, that would be a decent choice, assuming both Clark and Lois are on the young side in this story. -
They should give it to her. Her Lois Lane is far better than teri hatchers or that lame doosh bag kate bosworth who ouldnt act her way out of a paper bag.

I always fancied the idea that Louis Lane would be older then Clarke Kent
by asimovlives
I mean, when Kent goes to work as a jornalist, Lane is an already established and famous star reporter. I always presumed that Lane is older then Kent by at least about 7 years to a decade. and i like that. Who says that the female love interest has to be the same age or younger then the hero? Give the older gals a chance, dudes! I mean, what would be so wrong to have a 25 years old male actor had as a romantic co-star an actress of 33 or 35? There's pleanty of very hot 35 years old actress around.
-
Feb 03, 2011 7:11:07 AM CST
the_choppah, my friend, you are not thinking outside the box...
by asimovlives
... when you sujested Gabourey Sidibe for Lois Lane. In fact, years before, when McG was hired as the director of a Superman movie in the early 2000s, his choice for Lane was Beyonce Knowles. So, you ar enot thinking outside the box by sugesting a black actress to play that role. You just though like McG, and man, that's not an happy though.
Though, in your defense, i have to say that Gabourey Sidibe is twice the actress and the person that Beyoncé is. Literally. -

Next to Henry Cavill, SHE would be the better Man of Steel. I think McAdams is the right choice. At least, out of the above mentioned names. Biel is all wrong for the part.

Remember how plump and luscious her ass use to
be? Now it's all sucked in, flat, and bony. -
And Ice T as Gus Gorman!

Not Blake Lively, the other chick.

It's being directed by Zack The Hack Snyder. I don't bobne anything good from it. Which means, it will be very popular among the geekry, of course. The geekry likes shitty dumbed down hack made movies. Too many movies are proof of that.

Obviously, he sees something in Snyder that has yet to manifest itself. Plus, say what you will, Snyder does an awesome green screen.
-
And boyfriend David Cross as Lex Luthor.
-
I've been moved, thrilled, captivated and aroused by Snyder's films. Can't say Nolan has ever done any of that to me. Sorrys!
-
How about Kaity Tong?
-
I have faith in Nolan. But Nolan is now busy with the next Batman movie, and Superman is the Snyder's show now. You can't expect for Nolan, who co-writes, co-produces and directs the next Batman, which will be a big movie, to also have time to deal with everything about Superman, do you? The man is good, but he's also human, he has limitations. Nolan is now all about Batman.
And as such, with Superman in the fetid hands of Zack The Hack Snyder, you wonder why i have so little faith on this movie? -
No, that's the special effects guys. Don't steal the thunder from the people who really deserve the praise for the sake of a good word for an untalented hack.
-
out of what I'm assuming the cream of the crop of directors that would love to direct a big budget Superman movie. He could have picked anyone, including Jar Jar Abrams, but he picked Zack. He wouldn't have been my first choice either, buto bviously, he sees something that we don't.
-
Holy shit, I agree with AsimovLives. I kinda want her to be a cynical, world weary bitch who is won over by the farmboy alien. "Every cynic is a frustrated romantic." That should be Lois Lane, before she meets Clark Kent, but it's not convincing if she's played by a twenty something.
-
If he wasn't he wouldn't have been able to pull off 300 being a no-name at that point. So, I very much believe that he is hands on with the digital effects in his movies. If anything the same criticism aimed at George Lucas can be lobbed at Snyder, that he is too much into the technology of the filmmaking process to the detriment of the other elements like story and acting.

Yeah, Nolan did picked Snyder, and i'd like to had been a fly in the same room when Nolan got that idea and told others his reasons. Because Nolan's decision makes no goddma sense at all.
People who knmow amy admiration for Nolan have often asked me if i could ever thing he could do any wrong. Well, there it is. I think Nolan chosed very poorly. Very very poorly. Frankly i think he fucked up. And Zack The Hack Snyder will fuck up the rest.
The only thing that migth prevent this movie from becoming a shitfiest is only if Nolan set up a detailed list of how Superman should be directed detail by detail, and Snyder has to act like a lapdog and follow it throughly without a single deviation. -
"Holy shit, I agree with AsimovLives."
One day it would had to happen. There's far more to me then just the angry dude at Jar Jar Binks, i mean, Jar Jar Abrams. People who think like that are idiotic morons who never actually bothered to read my posts. -
Zack The Hack was not a nobody no-name when he made 300. He had made the remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD, which was quite a very sucessful commercial movie. And you know what? I did liked his first movie,a nd i though the dude showed promise and a name to look for. And he completly fucked it up all the good will with his retard piece of dumb ass shit called 300. That is a movie made by a retard moron stupid idotic fuck. Movies do reflect some of what a filmmaker is, and 300 shows what a complete stupid retard Zack The Hack is. Then the fuck-ass decided to try to pull a smart and fucked up WATCHMEN beyond all possible recognition. Fuck if this assclown isn't stupid! Stupid and ignorant. Fuck Zack The Hack and his stupid ignorant ass! And the fucking SUCKER PUNCH movie doesn't look any better. This stupid ass is quite a piece of work!
-
He started out as a photographer. And he always was updated on the latest tecnological evolutions in anything regarding filmmaking and other stuff. But despiste him being a techie, he still could film a story and make actors deliver great prformances.
Other techie directors? Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Brian De Palma, Akira Kurosawa, David Lean, Orson Welles, John Ford, D.W. Griffith, Charles Chaplin, Luc Besson, John Carpenter, Christopher Nolan, Neill Bloomkamp, Ridley Scott, David Cronenberg, Paul Verhoeven, George Romero, Werner Herzog, Peter Weir... and you know what all of them have in common? They can also tell a story and get good acting from their actors. The technie excuse means nothing in lieu of excusing Zack The Fucking Hack Snyder's shortcomings. Or Jar Jar Abrams. Or Mickey Shit Bay. If they are only good at the techie stuff, then they have no business directing movies, they should stick to just be second unit directors for shooting shit that explodes. -

Asimov, Re: "fucked up WATCHMEN beyond all possible recognition."
by the_choppah
What are you talking about. Snyder almost completely copied the comic to the point of framing particular shots. If anything, it was too faithful an adaptation and he forgot that film are different animals than comic books and therefore require a different form of storytelling. One thing that Watchmen fanboys can't say is that Snyder wasn't faithful to the comic. Well, except for the giant squid which would have looked stupid on film.
-
Yes, Snyder copied some of the frames of the comic. That's the extent of his "faithfulness" for the comic. But he compeltly subverted the message and theme sof the comic. The fucked didn't understand the comic at all. Adn then he repelaced all the smart stuff in ther comic by his own retarded mindless braindead shit. What i see in the movie is the typical arrogance of a fucking hack who thinks he's so smart and can out-smart the creator of the original story. A creator who is, by all standards, a genious, one of the few to truly deserve such accolade in the medium of comics. Zack The Psussy Ass Dumb Idicot Hack Snyder thinks he can out-smart Alan Moore, the pudrid piece of shit fuck!
There is no faithfulness in in Zack The Hack Snyder's HACKMEN. Nothing at all! The retarded idioc completly missed the point and FUBAR the movie beyond redeption. I can't blame anybody who will never give a fuck about the comic due to their experience watching the movie. Who can blame them?
Zack The Fucking Hack Snyder is like Jar Jar Piece Of Shit Abrams, two fucks who think they can improve on the works of much better authors by making dumb ass stupid retard movies versions of great and smart original works. This hacks have egos the size of Jupiter with nothing to really show for it. They should get a Jupiter shoved up in their stupid fucking untalented hack asses, the stupid fucks! The fuckers should be sent back to the black hole of mediocrity they came from. -
I'm tired of hearing that argument that the squid would look stupid. Yes, the giant squid would look stupid in THE ENGLISH PACIENT.
But we are talking about WATCHMEN. A movie that is set in a paralel 1980s decade where Nixon is still president, and a bunch of middle aged guys used to dress up in stupid costumes to fight crime and there is a CGI big guy with a huge CGI cock who acts like a Superman mixed with God. And after watching all that for two hours, suddently a giant squid pretending to be an extra-terrestrial Lovecraftian monster is where the line would be crossed?
Nonsense! In fact, the squid as an alien from out of Earth threath makes absolute sense for the Oxymandias gambit to work. To blame Doctor Manhantham is moronic beyond belief. I can tell that Zack The Fuicking Retard Snyder cannot think in any other way then purely from an american redneck perspective, which means, he thinks american thing = world thinking.
The thing is, since Dr Manhanthan was an american, and he caused such devastation, and not just in New York (the movie does tell that other cities in the world were destroyed), the rest of the world would be united, yes, AGAISNT THE USA! As played in the fucking stupid retard movie, that shit wouldn't bring world piece, it would unite the world to make war against the USA. If anything, it would give cause for the USSR to attack and atom bombed the shit out of the USa, with the rest of the world applauding in revenge glee.
Zack The Retard Fucking Idiotic Hack Snyder didn't think this shit through. Small wonder, because that stupid illiterated idiot can't. He is a stupid ass who made a stupid movie. But he thinks himself so clever. He can't evne understand the meaning of the word clever even if he read the definiton on a dictionary. He's idiotic and illiterated beyond belief. The George W. Bush of comic movie directors. -
I've heard her speak Brunettish.
-
Not a bad shout at all. Lois Lane needs to be attractive but also have a nerdy side. Margot Kidder was a master at this. Fey or Robin Tunney would be perfect.

only a stupid moron writes in as simple reductive terms as Asi,
by smack_teddy
and draws as simple reductive moronic lines in determining peoples smarts and tastes in movies as hack writer-analyst Asimov does.... And yet i cant help but agree with im to some degree or in some respects. 'How bout that?......What do i think Nolan sees in Zack Synder?: Mood, tone, style and - don't snigger - heart/ soul, through very competent understanding of utilising spatial & temporal forms/structures and advanced film tech. All of which were proved very effectively in Watchmen, despite its various flaws and failures to adapt what made the origional so good to cinema. He's betting that with a origional script designed for the film/cinema medium in the first place... and without the pressures/complexities/hang-ups of how or why to go about adapting one of the greatest comics/graphic novels of all time thats sits in and reflects upon its own mediums form/body of text and its use so near-perfectly.... Zack will knock it out the park on the new Superman front
...That or Nolan is secretly a Neo Nazi using Batman movies to put more lucrative Nazi gold into production and actually hates Superman, thinks HËS the evil fascist and wants us all to cry over his stupid movie and watch it fail in the popular world wide cultural hemisphere. Can i get a fist-bump Asi?
But no the former is my two cents or bet on what Nolan sees in Zack Synder. I don't know what to make of this Jessica Biel business. I'm the guy who thought Mary Louise Parker would be a great Lois back when Weeds and that Angels in America adaptation came out, but now i'm not so sure and this Lois is a young one. I hate to say it but Erica Durance of all the things about Smallville really IS a young Lois Lane to me, shes so perfect or uncanny casting in that respect. They need to find someone like her that fts Synders tone or vision and the material. I don't get the same from Biel, whos work i know much better than Henry Cavill's. -

Feb 03, 2011 9:48:18 PM CST
Heh. The old WATCHMEN was a direct adaptation of the comic argument.
by subtitles_off
Of course a dullard like any one of the Choppahs would think that.
Here's the thing Asi might understand that most of you nitwits --- certainly Zack Hackenstein --- don't understand: When someone reads a fukken comic book, they are inserting all sorts of s#!t BETWEEN the panels.
Alan Moore wrote a story. That story had a mood. The movie of that story needed to convey that same mood. Impersonating panels doesn't do it.
Um, not even close. -
For 10 minutes or so. Then he leaves a "Memento" for Snyder. All over his back. He'll have Snyder suffering from "Insomnia" 'cause it's gonna be a "Dark Night(sic)". There's a really obvious "inception" joke in there perhaps referencing Chud Babies or "Juniour". The gag wore thin on me before i could finish typing.
-
with worse dental care but a better publicist.
-
judged fairly.
-
substitles is a fucking asshat who cant read people
-
if you see Watchmen its there in tone and mood alone. I agree completely what you say about the origional comic and panels...but i still think Synder did a good job in many respects, i disagree in that he did not just copy it straight...he did alot of panels, but unlike 300 he really advanced and got what to do adapting this to moving images form with transitions in its own right when its came to those images. Maybe you don't see that, but i swear its there. This movie will free him up to evolve what i think he brought alot of to Watchmen, which was unfortunate as it still tunred out to pale in comparison to what we loved about the comic. But it had some great momernts in its own right, and while i would never compare the two its like saying Kubrixk has no heart/soul and ...yeah your wrong. We'll see.
-
do you mean that as an insult or not?
Nolan should have the reputation of Snyder.
That works.
Snyder should have the reputation of Nolan.
That's total fukk-wittedness. -
Which is probably why I enjoyed it so much - as a movie fan, not a comic geek. The look of the film was unique and artful. Everything about it just plain worked. Yes, stylistically, Snyder lays it on thick. But for the subject matter, it absolutely works.
I don't get how you can say he has no heart and soul. 300 simply has the most stirring performances and exposition.
I have absolute faith in Snyder taking on Superman. Thank GOD he is. Time after time we're presented with true hack work on comic book properties. Singer, Ratner, Story ... it's downright depressing that great characters are in the hands of people who know, and care, fuck all about them. Not so with Snyder. This guy is a godsend to comic book movie-making.
I'm not crazy about Biel as Lois, but if he chooses her he must have good reason. He's proven that he can coax great performances from all his actors. No reason to believe he won't now. -
that Snyder is nolan judged fairly, as in without the fan-boy haze. Snyder, like nolan, is an undeniably gifted, but flawed director. They've yet to make their best films. If Snyder could get over his fascination with speed-up/slow-down action sequences, crap soundtracks(his best song choice was a shameless coppola ripoff) and crap acting, and nolan could get over, well, himself they are capable of making great films.

Seriously, and with no disrespect intended, you're the last individual who can judge any of these movies on the basis of their artfulness.

I don't agree with it. AT ALL.
But, it's your view, and well stated, so there you go.
Personally, I think they are both incapable of art, but at least Snyder knows he's working with junk.
Doesn't mean I appreciate him. Of the two, only Nolan has made a decent movie. He's made two, actually. Decent-ish.
Snyder has only yet made crap. -
You?
Gobble gobble wah-wah whizzy whizzy. -
I see what BSB is saying, it's certainly a well-photographed film, and you could tell snyder was passionate about the material. Its just, kinda, cheesy. It was passably enjoyable, but i have no desire to rewatch it. The acting was pretty bad too. It did look nice though.
-
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!.....arnt you glad im quite the cultured fella whos watched Fellini Bergmen, Godard,'etc the lot? These are the kind of insightful judgemnts of people and their comments based on a wank load of nothing from an idiot wanking brain that you can rely on me for, for all that culture & film art i've soaked up.
-
Lots of film garbage "looks nice."

Transformers was poorly photographed. Bay crosses the axis all over the place. The effects in twilight are laughable, and the photography was mediocre. Iron Man 2 did look nice, i will concede. Not one of those films has a sequence as artful as the mars scenes in watchmen (though a lot of that has to do with the strong panel composition from the same scenes in the comic).

Most here born in the '70 : This will not be a movie for us so don't hold your breath
by softandporky
What we can hope for is some great action scenes but current generation need their own take on 'Supes. Our 'Supes is a relic.

And Forget feats of strength(lifting a plane or a bus, whatever. Just superman fighting someone nearly as powerful as him. Or brainiac. Loves me some brainiac.

See?
You think you're being droll and clever.
However, everyone who reads your posts either stands with you, in which case they're morons, or thinks you're an idiot, in which case they might be morons or might not.
Either way, they're here. They're not me. They're probably morons.
Good for you, BSB. You've got morons on your side.

All gay shit, all the time.

and NOT call them gay or a moron?

and here it is. Thats why your an ignorant fucktard mm, lol

Read the article here: http://tinyurl.com/6e7xbs6
It's Variety so it's pretty reliable. According to the article they have shortlisted 3 women for the female lead which isn't Lois Lane and it isn't the villain either.
Even without the romance subplot (which I'd like to see developed gradually), Lois Lane is an integral part of the Superman mythos and for Snyder and Goyer to downplay her in favour of something "new" makes me kinda mad. -
Any stupid shit you like except that im a Twilight fan braindrain, anything but that...
-
I may be getting her confused with the Jessica from FF. Same one?
-
J/K. I wouldn't even be able to say that with a straight face the way Harry can.
-
Too all those who think Lois isn't hot they probably need to go an read the comics. There is no way shes plain in the books.
That said, I'll take Biel over McAdams. Though I think Oliva Wilde would be a better choice.
-
And since when it's being fucked up to dislike dumb stupid movies? You know what's fucked up? Liking dumb stupid movies and trying to defend them with inane bullshit reasons. You have done that a lot.
-
I don't do simplistic opiniating about movies. I leave that to asses like Braindrain.
I focused on the problems that plague all of Snyder's movies. And the problems is that Snyder is an uncultured idiot who thinks himself smarter then he is. You don't need to be a genious to figure that out. You do not need to be his enemy to see that either.
Despiste all i say about Snyder, i still like his first movie. He did a good job on that movie. His DAWN OF THE DEAD remake is the only movie he ever made where he plays by his strenghs and he doesn't try to play smarter then he is. It's the only movie he made where he never went self-indulgent on his adolescent obsessions. It is his most honest movie.
You say that Snyder has good spacial understanding of the action. You know, i partially agree with you on that. He does show such understanding, whenever his action scene are not about him jerking off with the camera speed nonsense stuff he did in 300 and also, sadly, in WATCHMEN, which in the later completly defeated the point of the comic for the sake of some juvenile notion of "kewl" action shit.
For you, i'm going to tell you which i think if Snyder's best quality in his filmmaking: he's a master in chosing existing music for his movies' scenes. They always work very well. The only slipage he ever did was using "Halleluliah" in a fuck scene, which turned it inadvertedly comedic. Otherwise, he's always dead-on, and he had a brillant idea in using that Philip Glass's music for the Doctor Manhantam in Mars sequence.
When i detest an hack or a movie, i don't do that becaue one day i woke up on the wrong side of the bed and ate a bad pizza. I always have very good reasons for that. If you agree or disagree, that's not my problem. But i'll not go easy on anybody who will disagree with me based on bullshit inane reasons, if you know what i mean. -

I still go by the notion that Lois Lane should be older then Clark Kent
by asimovlives
Not only it makes sense in-universe - Lane is an already established reporter with a reputation - but it would also be a nice change that, for once, the leading lady would be older then the younger leading man, while still being young enough and sexy. And being spunky doesn't end with teenage or young adulthood, you know? It stays for life.
-
In this post, i'm not going to bash the hacks i detest. I'm going to coment on their strenghs and qualities as filmmakers. To wit:
Zack Snyder: A master in the use of existing music for scenes.
JJ Abrams: A master in advertizement. It is his only strengh as a filmmaker, but he's brillant at it.
Robert Zemeckis: An incredible ability for visual presentation of a scene, and a master in camera framing, camera placedment and camera movement.
McG: Quite good at making light-weight fluff comedy.
Brett Ratner: A master mimick artist. He can imitate the visual filmming style (but not the heart) of any other filmmaker.
John Moore: Apt in noticing and then using the latest in-fashion overblown filmmaking and editing style for an action scene (and then overabuse it to the point of nausea).
Ron Howard: He's a fish in water when making light-weight fluff movies, specially comedies. Very good at getting good acting from his actors (it helps that he used to be an actor himself).
Simon West: He can actually downplay on the hack tricks when the scenes need it. A rarety among hacks.
Tony Scott: When he bothers to, he can truly make beautiful looking movies which are well paced and get good performances fom his cast. Ocasionally he doesn't get in the way of a good script. When be bothers.
Michael Bay: He has absolutly no talents, skills, strenghs or qualities whatsoever. He's godawfull at everything that has to do with filmmaking. His "talent" is that he has no talent. He is pure raw anti-talent. -
If Nolan ever makes a bad movie, i'll be one in the first frontline throwing shit at it.
-
Weird. There will be a leading female, but not for this role. Seems to indicate an origin story a la Birthright. That kinda sucks. No origin! Unless there us something fucking brilliant up their sleeves.
-
Thats not what i meant specifically, go back and read what i said. "Snyder is an uncultured idiot who thinks himself smarter then he is" I'm sorry but im going to need proof or for you to at least elaborate on this, as this seems like your misquote about what i said: something not entirely true without the facts to back it up (of which buried in your JJ rants by a ratio of about 100:1 are valid objective points/facts). I agree i think Dawn of the Dead might be 'his' most honest or pure movie, but Watchmen proves he is capable of alot more than the 300 gimikery, its just ironic he was looking to serve the origional material so well i believe his overall work personally as afilmmaker/artist was compromised. This is just my sense, and that Superman with the right script could suprise you alot. Like alot. And yes shockingly i am aware i am appealing to the guy who hates JJs Trek that much. I do think its strange as a choice coming from Nolan though and he is taking a huge leap of faith here, but i think? i get it: he's proud to watch a filmmaker and his talents evolve like this so unashamedly/barefacedly in public despite certain superficialities, he wants such a guy to handle Clark Kent/Superman
-

And ill not stop whinning at ppl for drawing reductive lines like
by smack_teddy
'If you like JJs Trek your a retard, you don't get art and what good cinema is if you dig Hack Synder' F you if you think my love for art cinema and other directors working with Blockbusters like Nolan is superficial just because i happen to have a blindspot that makes me like new Trek, just because a reality in which i could get and like both doesnt possibly exist; please nip that shit in the bud, is what im trying to say i think
Also i didnt find "Halleluliah" unintentionally comedic. I found it intentionally, darkly comedic if you listen to the lyrics. But maybe i misread. -
"look how much he fucked up & misintepreted the real meaning of Watchmen through changing its ending" All that proves is they identified a need to change what worked in the comics so well because most people who read the comics were steeped in comics mythology-meaning, but concurrently the same could not be said for a cinema audience. It may be the wrong choice, i think it is, but it doesnt prove for a second hes trying to outsmart Moore or his audience. Real proof or elaborate please Asi!

... too often i have sen people in here justify movies just because they belong to a genre. I have seen people justify and defend many bad action or SF or horror movies just because they belong to those genre. In their argumentation, it seems that they take à priori that if a movie is action, horror or SF they are inherently dumb, silly and stupid. So, whenever a movie of those genre is bad and stupid, they take it in stride.
Personally, as a fan of SF, i feel insulted by that.
Genre is not an excuse. Genre is merely a classification. Genre doesn't excuse bad filmmaking whatsoever. There has been made too many movies which have proved, again and again, that SF, horro and action movies can be very well made, dramatic, fascinating, interesting, intelligent and entertianing all at once.
For me, there is only two type of movies: they are either good or bad. Genre means nothing at all in regard to their qualities. And genre certainy is no excuse for bad dumb movies. Anybody who thinks otherwise are not good movie geeks. They should try some other hobby instead. -
Don't take me the wrong way, friend, but let me just say this: it's not right to call somebody else a troll just because you disagree with him. That's not a troll. The disruption that a troll causes has nothing to do with expressing a divergence opinion, no matter how emphatically he might do. Trolling is liek if soembody comes in here, posts repeated post about something that has absolutly nothing to do with the subject of this talkback, and all he causes is a real disruption. That's trolling. Dudes who disagree with you are not trolls. They are just dudes with different opinions. And the way we deal with them is to discuss their oen opiniosn and offer very good counter-arguments based on intelligence, logic and knowledge, or if you can't take on them, just ignore their presence. Calling them trolls is uncalled for.
-
You say that Snyder's WATCHMEN movie was made with passion. Then Snyder is the very first filmamker in the whole history of cinema whose passion movies end up looking heartless. how cna anybody make an heartless movie from passion? Snyder can, aparently. He's bloody unique.
-
is a troll seeks to either post with nothing to do with the thread, or cause disruption or ill feeling for the sake or to prove a point already made in their mind, rather than their honest reaction or opinion. That was my feeling, a hasty reactive opinion rather a real or proper thought out one, of which of course i couldnt be sure actually was hence the ironic comment. Were it not ironic, i would agree that it were uncalled for. In the meantime, i a non ironic or sarcastic way, the points or questions i put to you above remain. You know i have alot of respect for you Asi, the foul language repeat offense JJ Trek condemnings and all, so the same please dont take my words the wrong way
-
From interviews I've seen Snyder was very passionate about the source material. The reason the movie lacks heart is Snyder puts more stock in sfx than acting. The acting comes across as cheesy and rips the soul out of the movie.
-
that he is an ignorant fucktard. Maybe its uncalled for to use 'tard. Thats an insuylt i feel a bit sick inside using to honest. But not nearly as sick inside when someone is saying your taste or criticism or opinion is bad, and is down to your homosexual nature. I won't stand for that, and i wouldnt expect any less from anyone else.
-
No i didn't took your words the wrong way, friend. I know what you mean. You're cool. And thanks for the compliment.
-
Fuck Zoe Deschanel. Cast fucking Zoe Saldana.
-
What is that? Is this some kind of texan humour? Or is Harry trying to say something? Is Harry coming out? Harry, friend, nobody will think ill of you because of your sexual orientation. Loads of cool people are gay or bi. Think Sir Ian McKellen or Sir Derek Jacobi. Really, Harry, if you are coming out, don't fear. I'll still like you. besides, since your wife is japanese, girls in Japan love gay guys/bi guys. They are to gays what we are western boys are to lesbians, it turns them on!

but thats not a typically gay animation above, just so you know

as long as there not making a point of insulting people or being ignorant with facts about it.
-
10% of the Dominican Republic's population is black and 70% of it is of a multi-racial background consisting primarily of European and African decent. In other words, Zoe Saldana is black.
-
It's not gonna happen! I kinda like Smallville, but WB isn't gonna mix those actors into the movies.
Erica Durance is kind of obnoxious as Lois, but I think she's got the right Lois Lane attitude on that show. They've nearly made her the star of the show, lately. -
Being confident in ourselves and our opinions, we don't feel that urge to tear someone else down for thinking differently.
The way I see it, if they wanna act like cum-slurping doucherags then let them. -
But try telling a Dominican and see if they don't go apeshit on you!

Sounds like they are racists anyway.

If Margot Kidder couldn't kill a Superman movie - I think Biel will be OK

Mix of white and black.

That's a big ass goof right there, considering the history of the two people in the twenty century.
But if Harry's wife is korean, then how in the bloody hell he keeps calling her Yoko? I assumed she was japanese because of that. Yoko is an undoubtly japanese name. Of Harry's nickname for his korean wife if Yoko, it's in poor taste. I'm suprised she didn't divorced his ass already. -
Ah, that's right! They are making a stupid origin story where Clark Kent goes to Africa in a introspective quest to figure out if he should be Superman or not. Fuck that.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea for Zack to go shoot the movie in Africa
by asimovlives
I saw 300, and it's quite clear that Zack suffers from a severe case of xenophobia for all non-whites etnicities, unless they have been domesticated by the american culture or their filmic proxy (the Spartan Greeks in 300). Or it could just be that Zack is an illiterate uneducated extremely ignorant close-minded fool, in which case it just ends up the same.
-
Um, he's the one, isn't he, who has proclaimed himself obsessed with Ryan Reynolds' abs and wished there were a "two-hole" inflatable of Chris Evans?
There's nothing wrong with the gay lifestyle. Nothing morally wrong. Nothing conceptually wrong. Nothing to be insulted about.
However, I would think a gay man looks at something like WATCHMEN or Superman differently than a heterosexual man. That's my assumption.
Calling people "morons" is an insult.
It is also a description of people who like WATCHMEN.
Learn to love yourselves as you are, people. -
Would that be an insult?

But there's no denying that her features are that of a Sista. (Some Ricans and especially Dominicans are practically Black.) wasn't impressed with her acting in Avatar, but damn if she ain't a Dime (Meaning: 10.)
-
Some douchebag (Green Gargantua, I believe.) had mentioned that it was from The Shining and that I should watch Non-Superhero films more often. LMMFAO
But yeah, that GIF is really pushing the boundries of taste. -
..I think that Zack is a good Director especially in regards to action/fantasy and Horror based films. Watchmen wasnt as flawed as many are so quick to think although that sex scene was unintentoinally hilarious. (I'm sure Orci wrote that scene when handling the script polish.) besides the fight scenes and intro i was impressed by the standout performances courtesy of Jacke Early and Jeffrey Morgan(rorshach and Comedian respectively.) who added credibility to a comic adaptation.
he has potentual and is not in the league of hacks like PWSA or to a lesser extent, Bay. -
You can't be a good director if your skills is just in one area. Supposedly that Zack is a good visualist, just that doesn't make him a good director. A good director is skilled in more then one areas of filmmaking. See Martin Scoprsese as a triunphant example of a good director, who is skilled with scripting, visualization and making his actors deliver strong powerful prrformances. That's a god director. Zack is not. To be charitable to him, he's rather limited.
I wasn't impressed with Zoe Saldana's acting either. She hasn't imrpessed me in neither the Abrams movie whose tile i shall not name, nor in Avatar,. If anything, her acting jobs in those movies has predisposed me against her. Her acting choices for her roles she has players are questionable to say the least. She only sems to play one role, the unsufferable arrogant obnoxious stuck up bitch. She is a looker alright, no denying that. But is she more then just that? I doubt.
I kenw right away that Harry's animation above is from THE SHINING. But of all the things to parody/hommage form that movie, Harry choses that? The man is trting to say something, man, the man is trying to say something. But i don't care if he comes out as gay, i'll still like the big fella. -

by smack_teddy
get it fuck outta mine please i dont want her cheap whore tactics.
-
your an idiot, don't bother. i actually have to second Braindrain here.
-
He has the monopoly of total idioticy in here. He worked very hard for that.
-
I'm doing great especially since it's friday. I don't know if you responded to my last post to you (In the Golden Globes thread which for some reason, cannot be opened due to constant server crashes methinks.) but i was curious about your opinion regarding the Let the right one in remake.
you never hold back when speaking your mind and since LTROI is a favorite of yours, i had to hear your take on matt reeves adaptation. (I actually thought it was a good attempt and you can't disregard it's chilling cinematograpy and that 80's vibe.To me, it's a welcomed change from the garbage that passes as horror films as of late. (citing, Saw and I spit on your grave.)
As for Zac, I think he delivers when it comes to genre specific films. His work is aestetically pleasing and there's a bit of character/soul when it comes to characters themselves be it DOTD or watchmen.I really can't say much for 300 since it was mostly an action, not story driven vehicle which was very short on substance (even leonadas' death didn't really move me in conparison to jake weber's demise in DOTD.) but the film was entertaining and nothing more.
I'm hoping that Sucker Punch will be another hit, but the premise of the protagonist imaging all this shit is disappointing to say in the least..almost like Pan's Laberynth.
We'll see if he can deliver the goods with Supes, being as i was pissed off at Singer's rehash, i'm confident that he'll do just fine.
Hope you're doing good as well -

And i don't see that happening any time soon. But i can show respect. Would that suffice? Mind you, i'll always be direct and blunt about your idioticy.
-
I'm yet to see LET ME IN, but there is nothing in this world that can convince me that it can in any way match or surpass the original swedish movie, except the budget. If the movie is good, average good, i'll not be too suprised. Matt Reeves does show potential. It's a pity this guy has been wasting away under the skirts of Jar Jar Abrams all this years. I suspect that what most people praise about Abrams is in fact what Reeves has done under his aegis all this years. Abrams was never shy about steal the good work and the thunder of others and pass it as his own. I hope in the future Reeves becames his own man.
As for LET ME IN, i'm pretty sure the movie will be what it is: a dumbed down, unsubtle version of the swedish original. Holywood movies have became so blunt nowdays that when one tones the bluntless a bit down, they get mistaken for subtle, too subtle. It's ad. What makes the original LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is how subtle and ambiguous it is, which is part of the whole fun and what it makes it so great.
Zack the Hack has made nothing but genre movies. And even in those he has showed nothing but to be a juvenile immature illiterate fool. The visuals, i have seen Zack's visual style many times before and better made in the movies made by much better filmmakers.
And there's nothing in this world that can make me forgive the stupidity and idioticy that runs rampant in Zack's movies. Stupidty and idioticy are things that are completly unexcusable in films and filmmakers. Nothing can cleanse that away for me.
I did noticed that Zack tried to gorw a brain and tried to make WATCHMEN smarter then his previous movies. I also noticed how spectaculary he failed at that. Becasue you can't have a dumb illiterate idiot make smart, because he dodn't even has a clue what smart and clever and intelligent is. He has absolutly no clue.
I guess SUCKER PUNCH will be more to his alley, it will play better to his dumb strenghs. and still the movie already looks retard beyond belief merely from the trailers, which are supposed to convince us to watch it. Consider this: it's a movie set in the 1950s about a teen girl who is interned in a mental institute, and in there she has power fantasies where she is a samurai-ninja babe who battels ninjas and giant robots? WHAT GIRL IN THE 1950S WOULD HAD THIS TYPE OF FANTASY DREAMS? Again, Zack The Hack Snyder proves to be a complete ignorant idiot. Snyder he redneck monglid must think that the 50s were like today, only with better fashion. The guy is ignorant and stupid beyond belief! would had it be so hard to have set the fucking movie in today's time? Today, many young teen girls have tastes similiar to the boys, about robotss, ninjas, zombies and werewolves and vampyres and geek stuff like that. In the fifthies? IN THE FIFTIES? Give be a freaking break!
You know what really blows my mind? That i can see in mere seconds the wrong and idioticy in this hack's movies and their way of thinking, while this assclowns can't notice ever after spending years writing the fucking script and months making the bloody movies. What the fuck is wrong with this assholes? How can this people be so stupid? -
If you need to bug somebody, do it on braindrain. He is pratically begging for it.
-
So he gets the smack_teddy jizz rag thrown in his face. Sorry Asimov. Now Braindrain...i could be wrong but - if not a dumass stalker of AICN folk - im pretty sure he's a guy parodying to satirising inane behaviour or commentary he sees on this sight. I'm not saying it would be accurate form of behaviour or commentary, or that he couldnt find a better use of his time, but thats the way i choose to take him. I cant take him any other way.

Im still waiting on that proof that Zack thinks he smarter
by smack_teddy
than Alan Moore and the rest of us Asimov
-
Most certainly braindrain is always trying to pull the smart-ass... and it always comes out idiotic.
-
Well, first you have the film itself. If the decision to change the ending of WATCHMEN is a total Zack pulling "i'm smarter then the guy who wrote the comic".
Then you have the interviews with him when the movie was releaced, where he tries to sell the idea that they made this big smart movie and he always tries to say something clever and it always come out childish, dumb and ignorant.
Least we forge,t how inicially Zack truied to sell 300 as accurate to historiy regarding the spartans and history, and in the end how it wa al a pile of bullshit.
Prof that Zack is an idiot that thinks himself smarter then he is? IT'S EVERYWHERE! -
just delusional impressions.
