Hypoxic wrote: Lois wrote: I like the choice of Amy Adams as Lois. IMHO she does look the part. And IMHO the age difference really doesn't matter. Margot Kidder was also older than Chris Reeve and it worked. Hypoxic, congratulations on becoming an administrator. I like the choice, but the age difference could be noticeable. Kidder was only four years older than Reeve, while Adams is nearly ten years older than Cavill. Just the same, it is Hollywood, so I am sure they'll take care of it. It's a minor technicality. And thanks! I am doing my best to serve the site. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you or the site. You're most Welcome! Thanks for the offer of help, it's greatly appreciated. I also like the choice, I don't think the age difference is noticeable, not visually anyway.

ComiIg on board to Supes again after having written him off for good more than a year ago, I have to say I'm liking the cast so far. The Kents are "younger" - absolutely a wise direction to go in. Amy can act. Can i say that again - she's an actress. And hot and better looking as a brunette. Not worried about the age difference. So far the casting seems more serious and on the mark than Singer's. I'm not opposed to unknowns but a major film needs a talented acting base and S: The Man of Steel is going to have that. Maybe Jimmy will be an unknown actor - probably. SR's Jimmy was not a bad actor but physically was totally inappropriate for the part IMO. Interesting to see who is cast as Perry and who is/are cast as the villains. Can we have one of the villains be a hot, in-your-face, smart protagonist - like Mrs. Cox of L&C fame, Instead of a Miss T. or another Kitty with the dog attached to her hip. In any case it looks like the casting will be there. Which leaves a lot of unanswered things like screenplay and FX. But I'm feeling lots better about this Supe's go than the previous one. |

the age issue always bothered me because i see no issue now this is not mean spirited towards smallville or erica fans but if you had to guess who was the 36 year old out of these 2 who would you guess? |

HAHAHA ok now I see what you're getting at. Well played, Hypoxic, well played. Use your powers wisely. It is FORBIDDEN for you to interfere in Routh/Cavill/Welling discussions...it is FORBIDDEN FORBIDDEN FORBIDDEN.... Unless he takes Routh's/Cavill's side. Then it's okay.  (I keed, I keed.) You know, the reason I like Superman is because he is an unabashed good guy, not this angsting dude with an anguished past who kills people while angsting.
It's time to show people why Light and Bright Heroes are awesome again. ---------- Your mission: Draw a picture of a crossover between the cast of Superman: Returns and the cast of Smallville. How would the two cast's interact? PM me when you have succeeded. |

Amy will definitely be great. In fact, I wouldn't mind her keeping her red hair. Actually I'd prefer it. |

amy adams was in smalville, season 1 i think, playing jodi melville, the girl who drank the kryptonite slimming juice and had to feed on human bodyfat to stop her starving herself, never thought at the time she would be a future miss lane.

I'm sure Amy Adams will do a great job playing lois, but do you think Jennifer connelly or Kate beckinsale would've been better choices to play Lois, if they were 10 years younger?

That's a great picture (project 86) did you change her hair colour because I think I've seen this picture of Amy adams with red hair.

My guess is Erica as the 36 year old. She looks older than Amy. But, both of them look young for their ages and both are well suited to the role of Lois,
