February 14, 2003: Hartnett Top Contender for Superman

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Josh Hartnett has emerged as the top contender to star in in the lead role for the up-coming Superman movie.

Josh Hartnett has reportedly screen tested for the role on Tuesday. The report indicates that Warners president and chief operating officer Alan Horn, production president Jeff Robinov and Director Brett Ratner were supposed to watch the tape Wednesday night in New York. However there has been no word at this point in time as to their reactions to Hartnett's screen test.

Regardless, Hartnett's looks and acting ability are said to not be factors as to whether he'd star as the Man of Steel. It's the negotiation of the deal and the commitment to doing three consecutive features that are standing in the way of the final decision. No other actors are expected to test for the role until an outcome for Hartnett is resolved.
