George Reeves

June 23, 2004: The Search for George Reeves Continues

IGN FilmForce has learned that Viggo Mortensen is no longer in talks to star in Truth, Justice & the American Way, Focus Features' biopic of the late Superman star George Reeves. The project had hoped to begin filming in March or April but that obviously didn't happen. Allen Coulter remains onboard to direct from a screenplay by Paul Bernbaum.

IGNFF was advised that Focus Features -- who remain committed to making the film -- is having difficulty casting Truth because of its budget. Certain big-name actors have been approached for the role of George Reeves but they proved too expensive.

Some of those thesps include Mortensen, Keanu Reeves, Hugh Jackman, Dennis Quaid and Ben Affleck. Benicio Del Toro had been offered the part of private detective Lamar Moglio but he opted to make Che instead.
