i was really pumped when i heard this movie was coming out, but so far with all the production problems i think WB may be headed for a major bust.
I mean seriously, beyonce as lois lane? just the consideration of it, ugh. the more and more i hear about this movie the more and more it bums me out. fortunately, it's still a while away which means they still have time to fix it before it gets really broken.
the WB is pretty set on creating a star rather than recruiting one for the role of Superman, which is a good thing.
for those of you talking about Tom Welling, here's a couple shots Alex Ross made on his own on what he thought TW would look like in the role (from his site):

personally, i don't see him in the role at all. TW has confirmed he wouldn't do it either, for several reasons. One of them of course, being it would conflict with Smallville and he wouldn't be able to do both at once. I'd rather him keep doing smallville.
it'll be a while before final casting. i know beyonce has said she'd love to do the lois role, i don't know if they've confirmed it with her.
luthor's been associated with talks with johnny depp, kevin spacey, and vin diesel. nothing's been set on that one either.
