Whats Playing have a (possible) list of ladies that have read for, or are being asked to read for the much sought after role of Lois Lane in the Superman reboot. They first mention both Akerman and Stewart, who we reported on yesterday, but also the following names..
Dianna Agron - The Glee star has a real go-getter of an agent that’s getting his client in the door and on the floor of near every major movie in town. She read for Spider-Man, and is said to have also read for Superman. Bit young though, perhaps?
Jessica Biel - One of the leading contenders for the role. She’s got as much spunk as she has sexy appeal, don’t be surprised if the trade reveals that the Blade Trinity star has gotten the nod in a weeks time.
Rachel McAdams - Like Biel, I hear McAdams has quite a few fans over there at Warner Bros (Whom she did Sherlock Holmes with a year or so back). McAdams was also on the shortlist for Dark Knight Rises, so sounds like Chris Nolan - who, in addition to directing the Batman movie is producing the Superman movie - likes him a McAdams with special sauce.
Apparently Anne Hathaway all but had the role but had to choose between Lois Lane and Selina Kyle in Chris Nolan's
The Dark Knight Rises. The site also mention surnames "Winstead" and "Bell", the former being Mary Elizabeth, the latter(Kristen? Camilla?) but say they have no solid info on them. No way of knowing if any of this is even accurate although I would be surprised if there were many young and in demand actresses out there that HAVEN'T read or are looking to read for this part. Keep an eye on CBM for updates.
