He's way too old chief. He must be in his mid 40's now. Superman should be in his late 20's or early 30's .

Still... he looks the part. I love the 1950's style Clark Kent. I've always wanted to see a 1950's Superman film. It would rule

With today's CGI effects, they should just make Christopher Reeve digitally walk and fly. The only current actor I could see as superman would be Hugh Jackman but I think it would conflict with his role as Wolverine. He does have the look though, IMO.

On Thursday, Paul Walker (THE FAST & THE FURIOUS) removed himself from the running for the starring role in SUPERMAN V. Walker had already screen tested for the role with director Brett Ratner, but he became nervous about the seven year, three picture commitment that was required. "He has decided to focus his time on supporting the films he already has in the can: TIMELINE and THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 2, the latter of which includes a monthlong worldwide publicity campaign," said a source close to Walker. That now leaves two contenders for the Kryptonian role: Bredan Frasier (THE MUMMY) and relative unknown Matthew Bomer (ALL MY CHILDREN).

Today's The Hollywood Reporter says that the two men thought to be the top two choices to play the new SUPERMAN are now no longer being considered. Sources for the Reporter told the magazine that Brendan Fraser and Matthew Bomer were both considered and ultimately passed over.

As well, the industry trade reports that today is D-day for director Brett Ratner. Warner Bros. executives are expected to let Ratner know if he is still their man to direct the movie. Ratner's option to direct SUPERMAN, based on a script by J.J. Abrams, expired last Saturday.


With the news that the top two candidates for Superman are now out of the running and the possibility that there may yet again be a change of directors, it's growing increasingly likely that the project will not be starting production in the near future.

As recently as last week, the trade magazine Variety reported that the candidates for who will play the next SUPERMAN are down to just two: Brendan Fraser and soap star Matthew Bomer. However, just this past weekend Coming Attractions was informed that another individual, previously unnamed by any news agency so far, has auditioned for the part: British-born actor Henry Cavill.

Speaking under the provision of anonymity, a source by the name "Mr. Glass" informed us that Cavill flew to Los Angeles ten days ago to meet with Warner Bros. executives as well as SUPERMAN director Brett Ratner. What was the result of Cavill's supposed meeting with the SUPER-staff? Our source swore that they didn't know the results of that meeting.


Cavill's biggest North American role was in last year's adaptation of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO starring Guy Pearce and James Caviezel. Prior to his work in COUNT, the actor had smaller parts in various British TV shows and mini-series. His acting agency lists Cavill's most recent screen credit as HELLRAISER 7, playing no less than that film's leading man.


Compared to the other possible Supermen, Cavill is the baby of the bunch at just 2 months shy of turning 20. Brendan Fraser, the most well-known of the SUPERMAN frontrunners, is 34 years old while Matthew Bomer is ten years' Fraser's junior at 24 years. (For those keeping a complete score at home, already-eliminated candidate Paul Walker is 29 years old.)


A official inquiry has been made to Cavill's agency asking for confirmation or denial of our story and we await word back from them.
