CAST
Clark Kent/Superman: Zachary Quinto
Known For:
Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness & Heroes
Zachary Quinto is a truly brilliant actor, one of the most underrated actors in the business today. After watching
Heroes this past weekend it hit me, Zachary Quinto was perfect for Superman. I think Zach would provide a solid Superman and would really thrive in the role.
Lois Lane: Michelle Dockery
Known For:
Downtown Abbey & Hanna
One of England’s brightest futures in the field of acting, Michelle Dockery is the perfect mix of ‘cute & hot’. Lois Lane in the comic books and on the big screen is very much the same, Michelle’s character in
Downtown Abbey has a Lois Lane feel to her, so how could I not cast her?
Rudy Jones/The Parasite: Justin Kirk
Known For:
Weeds, Animal Practice & Nobody Walks
Just take a look at the image above… Just stare at it for a few seconds; I’m not the only one creeped out by Mr Kirk’s looks am I? The dude looks menacing and this before he puts on make-up! In the comics Rudy Jones is the second Parasite, while in this film I would make him the first Parasite and give the character a mix of both origin stories.
Jor-El: Colin Firth
Known For:
The King’s Speech, A Single Man & Love Actually
One of my favourite actors of all time is Mr Firth, after his stellar performance in
The King’s Speech I really cannot see him as any more than a leader or a inspiration. For our Clark Kent he would be a fine inspiration sharing his huge knowledge and wisdom with his son.
Lara Lor-Van: Naomi Watts
Known For:
King Kong, Mulholland Dr. & The Ring
I had to put an Aussie in here somewhere! I’m joking, as much as I am Australian that is not the only reason I have cast Miss Watts, Naomi Watts is an Oscar Nominated actress, she has the looks down and it is obvious she would have great chemistry with Mr Firth.
Jonathan Kent: Richard Gere
Known For:
Pretty Woman, Primal Fear & An Officer And A Gentleman
I was watching
Graham Norton last week and a re-run came on, to my surprise Mr Richard Gere was on. After sitting there watching the legend talk away I couldn’t help but wish he were in a superhero movie, that’s when it hit me. Jonathan Kent!
Martha Kent: Julianne Moore
Known For:
Magnolia, The Big Lebowski & Crazy, Stupid, Love
While Julianne Moore may be considered a more comedic actress, I feel she would nail the role of Martha Kent. I love Moore; I think she is one of the most underrated actresses to ever grace the silver screen.
Jimmy Olsen: Kevin McHale
Known For:
Glee
Don’t lie. You’ve always wanted to see this kid stand up. That being said, yes I’ve watched
Glee heck don’t lie we all have. But I think this kid actually has potential, he’s a cool kid.
Perry White: Bill Murray
Known For:
Lost In Translation, Ghostbusters & Moonrise Kingdom
What can I say? I’m a huge Bill Murray fan. I loved him in
Ghostbusters and his award winning roles do show that he can do more than just play comedic idiots, when casting Perry White I thought of Bill Murray screaming, I may have a physiological problem or this is just a perfect casting. Tell me below!
Professor Hamilton: Zach Grenier
Known For:
Fight Club, Rescue Dawn & Swordfish
A truly underrated actor (Zach can be found in IMDB’s top 300 most underrated actors list) I’ve seen
Fight Club more times than I can remember and his role in the film always strikes me as a typical douchebag. When I was casting Hamilton I thought, “I need someone who will piss off my bad guy” Tah-duh I have Professor Hamilton.
