Up to now, what's known regarding Zack Snyder's
Superman remake includes British actor Henry Cavill donning the tights of the Man of Steel, while Warner Bros. is currently seeking a female lead. And among actresses included in the contention, said not to be for Lois Lane, included
The Illusionist's Jessica Biel.
Well, late last night,
Ain't It Cool News' Harry Knowles was tipped an interesting bit of info, though not assuring, which may not only confirm that Biel is in the running, but as a front-runner. Harry says verbatim:
Received an e-mail overnight-its sender details sighting Zack Snyder and Jessica Biel heading into a sit down meal at a restaurant I won't specify herein (the sender did tell me the name of the place, how he/she chanced across them, and said he/she spotted director and actress yesterday - Tuesday). Ironically, the sender said he/she recognized Zack instantly but took a few moments to track on Ms. Biel.
Far-stretched? Yes. But who never know what a little lunch could lead to. What do you think? Anyhow, special thanks to 'TorturedXGenius' for the heads up. And commencing filming in August, the tentatively titled
Superman, Man Of Steel releases Mid-December.
