April 3, 2003: Is Matthew Bomer Superman?

Rumor has it that a source close to Producer Jon Peters has let slip that Matthew Bomer has signed on to play Superman in the up-coming movie. The deal is said to contain an option for two sequels, depending on how well the first film does at the box office.

This report is contrary to previous reports that indicated that the casting of Bomer by Brett Ratner was a catalyst for problems between the Director and WB executives, resulting in Ratner leaving the project.

While on the subject of Directors, the report also indicates that a decision on a new Director will be made Friday April 4th, with "Swordfish" director Dominic Sena the likely candidate.

Christopher Reeve will reportedly be a consultant during Friday's meeting via a Video Conference link-up.
