hmm having trouble picturing that.

it's worth mentioning that the superman script is shite, Lex Luthor is a CIA agent for a start. Aint it Cool news did have a breakdown of it (the script) on their site.
Hellboy is our only hope.

I don't even think the new Superman will be ever done, so I don't pay attention to all these scoops... But just in case, Depp would be completely a WRONG choice. No one could ever match Gene Hackman, but there are much better options than Depp to choose from...

Christopher Walken as Lex Luther. Still not Hackman, but way better than Depp.

you know, I had trouble seeing depp as a flamboyant pirate loosely resembling keith richards...but hey.

I will admit I felt the same thing when I heard Depp was playing a pirate, but he really is a versatile actor. Not as much as some, but he does well.
I'm willing to give him a chance as Lex Luther. I've been pleasantly surprised before. But the script still needs to not be shit!

i'd like samuel jackson as lex, even though the original lex wasn't black... but then again neither was lois lane.
for a white guy to play lex i'd say a bald billybob thornton? nah...

They're never going to get it off the ground. People are walking away from this production.

I'm sure he'll perform great. I didn't have any expectations on him playing drug bwoy in Blow but that turned out to be one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Bow.

(jan 28 04)My thoughts exactly. And let's face it... Superman IS and will ever be Chris Reeve. Period.

Sure, there's no reason to revisit the franchise. Try something new.

(jan 28 04)Ha ha! :D Anyways I think after Superman IV the franchise is kinda "cursed"... The Nuclear Man fucked it all up >:

Fuck a new superman.
It's all about the new Batman. Bale as Batman, Nolan directing and writing along side the guy whore wrote Blade, Dark City, The Crow, etc.
So far it seems they're doing everything right on that one, they could still fuck it up though.

if depp leave the mascara on from pirate of the carribean, i could see it... the harder thing to is see him as willie wonka...

Not a fan of John August's work either. Big Fish was poor.
