February 13, 2003: More Superman Movie Casting Rumors

According to Zentertainment, Lara Flynn Boyle is (as mentioned in an earlier report) the frontrunner to play Lois Lane in Brett Ratner's "Superman" movie.

"As it stands right now, Boyle is the strongest candidate to get the part" says their contact who is ahead of the likes of Lucy Liu, Catherine Zeta Jones, Julianna Margulies and Cameron Diaz for the part.

Gene Hackman was also considered by Ratner to return as Lex Luthor, but Ratner turned down the idea because... "While he respects Hackman as an actor, he feels that the film needs some fresh blood in order to rejuvenate the long dead franchise. Another idea was to go with an unknown. Ratner liked this as well but he did not want to face the same backlash George Lucas faced when he cast Hayden Christensen as the future Darth Vader in Attack of the Clones last year".
