new Superman movie pics

[StormRider]

Superman is super fast. It's easy for him to redo his hair in the blink of an eye.

 

[Liviathan]

WOW, they look so young!

 

[StormRider]

I like Tom Welling (he reminds me of Chris Reeves in terms of looks) but I'm glad the movie decided to cast another. If Tom Welling was cast then the movie would risk having a TV feel to it and would lack "newness" that's needed to generate excitement for a movie.

I'm gonna be very interested in seeing how the new Superman and Lois Lane will be like.

I'm sorry, but Kevin Spacey drops gorilla turds on Gene Hackman

In this context, Gene Hackman played a great Lex. Both are different genre actors.

With a French Connection vs KPax kinda thing. I don't think I've ever been disappionted in any movie they headlined in. I gave Spacey a pass for the Austin Powers 3 cameo, even though that was the funniest part of the movie.


Also, prior to The Usual Suspects, I had never even heard of Spacey...

I'm gonna have to go against the consensus here and say that doesn't look gay to me at all

In acting ability, maybe, but for this role? Hackman.

everybody complained about the x-men costumes too. what an awful movie that was. oh wait...

Hehe...I still snicker at the line "would you rather wear yellow spandex" directed at wolverine.

 

[CanOWorms]

They should have completely revolutionized Superman's costume. I think making it from wolf pelts, saran wrap, and duct tape would have made a nice, new costume.

maybe they are marketing it towards teh gay audience

lol... retro outfit... i see them pics, them thighs are thick, ya thick, ya thick.

 

[Kyteland]

Isn't this the movie that they spent all their time obsessing about how big a sock to stuff in the guys pants?

guy1: Can't make it too big. This is a family movie, you know.
guy2: Yeah, but he is superman.

:roll:

Edit: found it.

 

[Pacfanweb]

How did they pick that candy-ass looking dude for Superman?

I agree that the guy from Smallville should have been used.

 

[oogabooga]

i'll wait for a trailor. Hopefully spacey makes a decent badguy.

 

[Whisper]

Dunno if it's been said yet, but I think Tom Welling (Clark Kent on Smallville) had contractual obligations that prevented him from being in the movie. He would've done a great job, though, yes.

This guy...I dunno, he doesn't look very superman-ish, but maybe it's just the poses they've got him in. I don't mind the costume much; besides, superman was never about the costume, but more the man inside the costume.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

As far as the storyline, I think I remember hearing that it goes something like this: Superman was away from earth for however many years (5-10 maybe?), has come back, and is seeing what the world's been like now that it's had to move on without him.

27 years old doesn't qualify as old? What does then? Only silent films?

I love it, way more real than the rubbery muscle man cast they usualy wear, thats just dumb.

I mean if you were a super hero, would you use a rubber cast to inflade your own ego?

Are you telling me that THIS is not inflated?

flame on

 

[tallest1]

Who the hell let the crew of MadTV staff Superman?

Edit: Might as well have MichaelMcDonald be superman

 

[Kremlar]

Superman has always had that look in the suit. The movie just kind of takes over and makes you believe.

Are you telling me these stillshots don't look as 'gay'?

And ten times worse was Dean Caine in the popular TV show!

As far as Tom Welling goes - he's good in smallville, but he definitely has a metro look too. I don't necessarily think he'd be any better than this guy.

Don't think the underwear over the pants style really works with todays darker style.

actually, i think the problem with superman is its too not-dark. literally and otherwise. i find it interesting that the warner brothers movies are trying to set up a "timeless" feel about the architecture and the sets because, like it or not, the big boys of the DC universe just dont fit in so well to our modern world.
batman could pull off the cape because of the night...but this superman looks absurd.
and kevin spacey sucks.

edit:
and yes, the x-men outfits stunk. so did the movie.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

Isn't superman a bit outdated? This is going to be a HUGE flop.

 

[Shadowknight]

Actually, I don't think either of those actor lookeds "gay". Dean Cain looked lame, not gay, in that suit. Reeves looks fine in that suit, not goofy, not gay. He's the only actor who's been able to sell me the idea of Superman, IMHO.

 

[jmagnum]

Yeah, I'm afraid they all look gay. Here's what Tom Welling would like like as superman: http://www.supermantv.net/smallvillepics/wallpaper/daniel/tom_welling.jpg

Spacey is great when he plays mean characters. Always gets a laugh out of me.
