STOP THE PRESSES....Nicolas Cage IS GOING to a superman movie.....i didnt know there was one playing in the theater.

 

[j@cko]

It's hard to imagine him as THE superman.....

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Nick Cage was signed to act in a modern-day Superman movie (which I believe was penned by &quot;Clerks&quot; creator Kevin Smith and set to be directed by Tim Burton, with Chris Rock as Jimmy Olson [!]; the working title was either &quot;Superman Lives&quot; or &quot;Superman Reborn&quot, and when the project was cancelled he was paid several million dollars as a result of the cancellation. As far as I know the project is dead for good.

 

[j@cko]

do you know the reason?

Actually, the original Superman (with Christopher Reeve) is going to be re-released this year in limited markets.

It's dead. Kevin Smith gave a talk at my school last year and confirmed it. The producer was a crackpot and wanted all these weird, campy changes and the studio didn't like the script...it was a total mess.

please for the love of GOD...nicolas cage should NOT play superman.

that would be an abomination...

Nicholas Cage is one of my FAVORITE guy actors,
don't get me wrong, but I definitely cannot
imagine The Man Of Steel as The Man With A
Receding Hairline.

 

[The Wildcard]

Nicholas cage is an okay actor, but i don't see him as being superman.

 

[DefRef]

Tee_Edwards got the details right.

Christopher Reeve was the BEST Superman. Looked the part and put it across. Damn shame about his current condition.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Too bad to miss Chris Rock as Jimmy, though - that would have been a hoot. Apparently Keven Smith is a hardcore comic-book geek and I still have high hopes that he may deliver a superhero script in the future - Spiderman, anyone?

 

[radiocore]

Yeah, I believe they went through tons of script changes and no one could agree and then they dropped kevin smith as the director in favor of someone else. And it was all downhill from there. Kevin Smith would have ROCKED on the new superman script. Did any of you read his stuff in Daredevil? good stuff!

The original Superman was one of the best pop-cult movies ever made! Nick Cage, the best directors and all the money from Fort Knox couldn't best it...even if Stephenie Seymour played Lois Lane...though then of course it would be much closer...
