The folks over at
What's Playing have managed to talk with a couple of sources close to the production of Zack Snyder's
Superman, including actress Kristina Anapau, who recently reveled interest & hints that she auditioned for the female lead. The site also spoke to their WB "contact", who offers a bit of an update.
Firstly, chatting with actress Kristina Anapau, she says:
“I don’t know what I can tell you - you’re very warm…all of the names on your previous list were or are still in the running for this role last I heard. They’re swaying between big names and smaller names. I can’t tell you specifics of the role - I don’t know what I can say, sorry”.
And on to their WB contact, who says he hasn't read the script so don't know what role these ladies are fighting for. When senselessly asked whether
Variety's recent contenders were true, hes says:
“Things are changing every day on that movie - things changed a lot when a British Superman was cast. What’s happening here is the filming location may be dictating the casting. Did you notice none of those girls you just mentioned are Americans? I don’t think it’s got as much to do with them not wanting to overshadow Superman, as that article suggests… “I don’t know if [Kristen Stewart] tested, but they were interested in her at one point. It was common knowledge. I think the conversations went mute when Snow White was put on the table - you can’t be chasing two projects of that size at the same time.”
Anyhow, Henry Cavill will lead as The Man Of Steel, scheduled for big-screen Mid-December, commencing production in August.
