Last Friday we reported that actor Martin Richardson would be playing Clark Kent/Superman in the upcoming fan-film 'Superman: Requiem', and today we have a brand new poster which gives us our first good look at the costume being used, as well as who our leading lady and villain will be.
Stacy Sobieski (Pictured above-left) will be play a new character called Ali Noels, a reporter at the Daily Planet that Clark has feelings for. Robert Hartley Wainwright (Pictured above-right) will be playing the films villain, Alex Luthor, estranged son to Lex Luthor.
Here's the official press release for details on the new characters and movie:
LONDON, April 4, 2011 – Cupsogue Pictures announced further casting details today for fan-film ‘Superman: Requiem’. Stacy Sobieski will play Ali Noels, a new character for this Superman movie, who is leading opposite Martin Richardson who was announced as Superman/Clark Kent last Friday.
In the film, Ali Noels is a new reporter for the Daily Planet newspaper who Clark has feelings for, and who helps him when Clark finds himself almost powerless as a
result of an evil mastermind and his vicious plans for greed and wealth.
That mastermind has also been confirmed today as Alex Luthor, Lex Luthor’s
estranged son, who will be portrayed by Robert Hartley Wainwright.
The film’s director Gene Fallaize said, “We are very pleased with the new additions to our cast. Stacy brings grace and warmth to her character, making Ali endearing as a romantic prospect for Clark, whilst Robert brings fantastic presence to his character, as someone that really is evil enough to find a way to be a real threat to Superman.
He added “Whilst this film is set in the ‘Donner-verse’, we still wanted to create new characters to set it in a new place in the Superman universe too, so that we can benefit from existing back-stories and some pre-established characters, whilst still creating an entirely new story that we hope audiences will enjoy."
