Superman trailer
A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

I still think he looks too skinny to be TMOS!

Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, oh that should be a great moment in film.
And to agree with Poolshark, yeah - little on the slender side.

I just can't express how thankful I am that Nicolas Cage isn't superman, as I had heard he was going to be. Seeing the fellow that is to play superman now makes it fall into a "maybe" category for going to see it.
A note of "wow, that's pretty neat", I noticed on IMDB that they're casting Marlon Brando as Jor-El. Actually, what they're doing, is using the old footage from the first Superman. That's kind of neat!

For Jor-El so loved the world, he gave them his only son?

Superman II, actually. A scene that were originally filmed with Brando were eventually re-filmed with the woman who played Lara for some reason (I used to know it, but have since forgotten). They're going to use the stock footage from the unused Brando scene for Jor-El in the new movie.Originally Posted by Grimace

I read somewhere that the reason Brando's scene was reshot with Lara counseling her son was due to a contract dispute (primarily the result of Brando's ego, really). Instead of paying him what he wanted, they cut him from the movie entirely and reworked the scene.
As for Routh being too thin, I don't recall Christopher Reeve being very large, either. Honestly, you'd have to bring in a professional body builder to get the muscle definition they give Superman in the comics.

I'm gonna look at the trailer in a minute, but on the 'thin clark' thing; You ever watch either the Superman animated series or one of the newer Justice League shows?
In the Bruce Timm style, Supes is as broad as a barn! I don't think anyone would EVER think that Clark was a whimp if they ever noticed that he was built like a tank!!!

Yep. That line's right out of the first movie. Just before the first time we see Reeve in the Fortress of Solitude.For Jor-El so loved the world, he gave them his only son?

I agree that he shouldn't be a body builder....after all, CK is a bit of a meek guy, and that would be kind of difficult to envisage if he was an Arnie-a-like!As for Routh being too thin, I don't recall Christopher Reeve being very large, either. Honestly, you'd have to bring in a professional body builder to get the muscle definition they give Superman in the comics.
However, Christopher Reeve went into the gym and beefed up to make him look like a Man Of Steel, when in the tights and underwear... I seem to remember him having to get up to about 215 or 225 lbs from a slim, gawky kind of guy.
