It looks like there will be another Superman movie! Check out the Superman article at eonline.com
It looks like the movie will be called “Superman Lives.” I kinda like it. Maybe Christopher Reeves will make a cameo. That would rock!
The article also mentions a new Charlies Angel’s movie.
Update 10.21.2004: See new entry New Superman Movie UPDATE
To whom it may concern,
I would like to introduce myself as a twenty-five year old man who is still a great fan of Superman. I would like to discuss and give my opinion for the great Superman movie.
Like other heroes such as Spiderman, Hulk and other super heroes movies that were filmed from the beginning with new actors and new story, I suggest that Superman could start from the beginning as a new story.
In my opinion , my suggestion as described as above solves the problem of casting
I trust my views are of interest to you, I would eagerly await you comments and reply
Thanks in advance

Here something that all you Superman fans may be interested in! There really is a city called Metropolis and claims to be the Home of Superman! It is in Illinois! The Weekly Paper of Massac County is calle the Metropolis Planet!
Superman has to be Tom Welling he rocks
i love superman and anything that goes with it
Star harry kewell in the movie
I totally agree with “Jor-El”‘s comment on 27 Feb:
I remember a “group shot” in one of the comics showing most of the Justice League and Superman, with him being half a head taller than everyone except for the Martian Manhunter. That picture epitomises the character for me.
Seriously, he comes from a race that spent thousands of years evolving in an incredibly hostile environment, then spent thousands of years in genetic research on themselves! Whoever plays him should be big, well built and reasonably mature.
it would be nice to see more if they pick tom welling as the new guy in suit for the role of the newly born superman.
i was very disappointed because they didnt even think to make a movie that today is the day to make a very good kind of sci-fi movies coz of such technologies that can make a brilliant effects on the big screen.
hope to see it soon with tom welling!

Ashton Kucther is no superman. C’mon they would have to use CGI muscles or something he’s skinny as hell. The guy from smallville would be ok but I don’t know who would really fit the part.
Tom Welling is the number one choice for Superman!! Then next to him maybe Victor Webster, or Jery O’Connell. I heard something about Weling if he played Superman after th Smallville series ended. forget that the Smallvile series is too good to end!! But the movie with Welling as Superman could be the beginning of his career as Superman, when he dons the Blue and ed costome. Then the series should continue with Superman in Metropolis. The series would probally have to have a name change then. But it’s too good to end!!! Welling isn’t he roughly the age that Christopher Reeve was when he played Superman, years ago?!? If so he’d definately be an excellent choice!! The other two Webster or O’connel would probally do okay as well. O’connell sure put alot of feeling into his acting in Sliders, the same as would go well in the upcoming Superman movie. And forget the Superman/ Doomsday battle. Lets have a sinister alien like Darkseid seeking to take over the earth and Darkseid ( the producers will know who I am speaking of) sends his freak show wierdos to take over the earth (I guess in this movie Doomsday could be one of Darkseids cohorts) So Superman must battle Kaliback, Mantis, Asteroids being hurtledtoward the Earth, all the forces of Apocalypse an armada of alien star ships. Pull out the stops show the world why he is called SUPERMAN, let him battle all of this without the so called “Justice League” or even Supergirl ( Although that’d be a good movie ot T.V. show as well). Superman versus Darkseid. At one point in themovie Superman could be in a titantic battle with the Lord of Apocalypse. Darkseid and his Omega Beams versus Superman’s Heat Vision. That would be a battle that would make “Doomsday” pale by comparison. Doomsday is dumb has no sinister intelligence behind him. But Darkseid is too scary!! He’s the one for the movie!! Oh, and forget the Lois Lane part for this new movie this time Supes girl friend should be Lana Lang! And maybe lex Luthor assists Supes in defeating Darkseid with his technolodgy and resources.
This movie got scrapped, as noone could agree on much of anything in pre-production. Most of the actors backed out because the role will most likely stereotype any who take it as superman for the rest of their life, {see Cristopher Reeve}. It is still a viable movie idea, but don’t expect it anytime soon.
The best possible solution is that when Smallville has run its course – Miles and Gough take their format and crew and make the new Superman Movie- Continuity for all adoring Superman fans.

You here some people saying the Man of Steel needs to be 6ft5 and ripped muscles like a body builder. why? He doesnt need to be that big with the strength and abilities he has. Tom Welling has an average build and would play the part great. Good luck on makeing the movie.
I agree that Kutcher as Superman would be the worse move that could EVER be made. He has no right to the continuation of the epic. My vote goes to Tom Welling!
I personally think that David Chappelle or Chris Rock should play the role of Superman. Beyonce as Lois Lane. Rick James as Lex Luther. Ben Stiller as Jimmy. Anthony Hopkins as Supermans father. Ben Stiller’s dad as Perry White.
I think that Tom Welling has the look of Superman, but, there would be too much association with “Smallville.” “Smallville” went on its own path with the story of Clark Kent. The show is excellent, and I think that they did a terrific job with the story of Clark. I read in a past interview that Tom Welling doesn’t want to play Superman in the movies. He has already been offered the part and he doesn’t want. Also, he says that he wouldn’t continue doing “Smallville” if it went into college years or if Clark left home. Tom Welling doesn’t want to be labled as “The New Superman.” The actor that needs to play Superman definitely needs to be someone that most people have never heard of. The story for the movie should follow the comics with Superman’s death. They want a trilogy, that’s simple. Movie 1: Superman meets and is killed by Doomsday; Movie 2: The Superman wannabes appear and run their mock; Movie 3: Superman comes back from the dead, and mops the floor with Doomsday. If they follow the comic books as a story board then they would have their trilogy. But, I have heard rumors that they plan to start the whole thing over. Remake the original and then do two new sequels after that. If they don’t put a lot of planning into this then they are going to screw it up royally.

People.. If anyone knows who should play superman its me. Now I dont know if some of you people are serious or just seriously smashed. Tom Welling is the only choice. Ashton? HAHAHA! Dude Where’s My Cape? Nic Cage? N-O! Go with Tom if you people don’t pick him about 10% percent of all Superman fans are gonna go see it. As for Lois. Beyonce? LOIS LANE IS NOT BLACK!!! What is with you people??????????
Tom welling over the top and he most be the new superman and he is the best for this superhero role
I think they should either get Julian McMahon to play Superman or David Boreanaz since Angel is ending. I think they would be able to live up to it. Otherwise they should just wait until Smallville is over and go with Tom Welling. He is the only one I think that lives up to the Christopher Reeves portrayal of Superman. Just my comments though.
I’ve read through the threads and here is my opinion. Tom Welling would be good but if Victor Webster can act, he would be a better fit to the Superman image. As for a possible Lex, I think Bill Zane is a good actor and plays the crazy guy pretty darn well…maybe too crazy for the calm-cool-collected-craziness of Lex. I also agree that Lex is played out on the big screen. Not that I wouldn’t enjoy another SM/Lex showdown….that is Reeves territory. Bring in a new villian.
Superman II was by far the coolest Superman of all time! Remember the RUMBLE in the streets? Give Superman a couple of superhuman villians to contend with again and make them believably intimidating.
keanu reeves, keanu reeves dude.
u guys are all $#@$ up
haven’t you seen matrix reloaded and revolutions?
hes the best.
Cast for Superman Movie should be:
1.) Superman/ Clark Kent — Tom Welling
2.) Lex Luthor — Michael Rosenbaum
3.) Lois Lane — Holie Marie Combs
4.) Perry White — ( Same perry from Lois and Clark…)
5.) Darkseid —
6.) Zeus — John Ryes Davies

I think Colin Farrel could play superman. But I like the voice from the American Express movies. Anyone but Kutcher. I really hope there is a movie and soon. I like spiderman but Superman is king. It would be awesome to see a movie with the movie tech we now have

The idea of Nick Cage playing Superman never did go down well with me,i just couldn’t picture it.And Ashton Kutchner come on people.Personally for me every other super hero movie that has come out in the past five years has been as disappointment.The only one that did it for me was Blade, X-men made wolverine look like a sissuy compared to who he is in the cartoon and the comics,they made Rouge a child which is totally wrong.As for Hulk their first mistake was bringing in Ang Lee to direct the movie. sPIDER MAN, THE GRAPHICS AND EFX WERE GOOD AND ALL BUT gOBLIN JUST LOOKED LIKE AN OVERSIZED ACTION FIGURE,
fOR THIS SUPERMAN MOVIE THEY SHOULD MAKE HIM FIGHT SOMEONE LIKE LOBO,GIVING THE MOVIE AN ELEMENT OF EVERYTHING,AS FOR THE ROLE OF SUPERMAN.THEY SHOULD USE TOM WELLING,IF NOT HIM THEN AN UNKNOWN ACTOR,CAUSE USING A KNOWN ACTOR WOULD NEVER GIVE THE MOVIE THE RIGHT FEEL.DON’T LET THIS MOVIE BE LIKE BATAMN 3&4,CAUSE AFTER MICHEAL KEATON LEFT THE ROLE THE FOLLOWING BATMAN MOVIES WERE CRAP
ok
ok
nick cage!!!!!! are you out of your freakin mind the guy who plays superman has to have hair plus the face of nick cage is not the superman look.nick cage looks like a crackhead
Ok WB!..For once listen to the fans when it comes to making the new movie SuperMan….If you were to do a poll, I
believe Tom Welling would be your #1 choice from the fans. He has the look, he is established already in the Smallville
role, and he is the perfect age. Plus can you argue with Christopher Reeves, he himself has rumored to suggest Tom
Welling for the role…I would not see the movie if Nicholas Cage was in the role, he is so wrong for the role…what
are you guys thinking up there in the WB office?
tom weling TOM WELLING IS REALLY HOTTTTTT
TOM WELLING IS A REALLY GOOD ACTOR
i think tom welling should play superman he even looks like Christopher Reeve when he was younger
and on smallville tom plays his part (clark) really good….plus hes really hot lol
the new supoerman will be played by the guy who did the passion of the
christ, oh and by the way…dean cain? come the $#@% on.
ok then, im back i have read these ideas and reviews and think that
some of you have a very strange way of looking at what is possible and
what is not. 1. tommy welling is not a very good actor and for a film
that will cost more than $55 mil’ ‘ol tommy didn’t make the cut.
he’s just not good enough. and hes gay heheh
the new supoerman will be played by the guy who did the passion of the
christ, oh and by the way…dean cain? come the $#@% on.
god! dean is dried up and recently worthless scrap of human flesh, not
worthy to be rehydrated by getting pissed on
