Today, Sunday 17th 2010 here in the U.K. Zack Snyder gave his first interview on the subject of his upcoming new movie about Superman.
Superman director Zack Snyder may RECAST Brandon Routh as the man of steel-after being impressed by the fans' love of the Christopher Reeve lookalike.
Warner Bros. Studios originally demanded that the next Superman film, due out in 2012, would have an all-new cast after they were underwhelmed by Superman Returns weak box office take.
But Zack revealed that Brandon WILL be considered for the role after he saw an online fan campaign to have the 31 year-old star reinstated.
"I know!" he told The News Of The World in his first interview since landing the gig. "I didn't realize there was such a groundswell."
Zack also revealed that he is due to start work on the blockbuster after he finishes his publicity tour for Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hool, based on a series of hit childrens books about talking owls.
I had to type this out, as to see the video you need to visit the website ( www.notw.co.uk) but it's a pay to read site and as much as I love Supes..I ain't paying.
So, there you have it. It's not much, but then-again, could be HUGE news. Seems that Routh is still in with a shot! Then again..if he's that interested as to what is said on the net, surely he's also seen all the buzz about Welling also. Who knows?
