Actor Frank Langella, who once chilled moviegoers as Count Dracula, has stepped into the role of Superman's boss, Perry White, in Bryan Singer's upcoming comic book adventure "Superman Returns" for Warner Bros. Pictures.
Hugh Laurie originally was cast in the role but bowed out because of a scheduling conflict with the Fox television series on which he stars, "House."
The medical drama, on which Singer is executive
producer, has proved a surprise hit and was just
picked up for a second season. Laurie had not yet shot any scenes on the movie, which began production March 21 in Australia.
In the Superman canon, White is the editor of the
Daily Planet, the newspaper where the Man of Steel's alter ego, Clark Kent, works as a mild-mannered reporter.
(Raph's girl note: Or worked since he's been missing for 6 years :P)
In Singer's version, White has a son named Richard, played by James Marsden, who is Lois Lane's love interest.
(Raph's Girl note: And don't forget Richard and Lois' 5 year old son, Jason White....)
Langella played Count Dracula in Universal Pictures' 1979 "Dracula." His other credits include TV's "Unscripted" and the features "Sweet November" and the upcoming "House of D."
Raph's Girl note: Be afraid...be very afraid... for
Dracula, DS9's Minister Jaro, and Skeletor are one and they are now Perry White!!! :o
