What comic book movie do you want to see? - Page 3

~~Leo656~~ · 06-12-2003, 10:27 PM

Woah woah woah, hang on a sec. I'm not the world's biggest Billy Zane fan, but he plays the rich obnoxious scumbag VERY well (see Titanic... or not), and he plays a bald-headed, scheming prick even better (see "Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight"). I think he'd make a great Luthor.

And Charlie Sheen is just gold. He can do no wrong. Well, except that whole coke and hooker thing but... hey, he's a movie star!

Though I'm intrigued, Rez... who'd you rather see as Lex?

~~Reznorite420~~ · 06-12-2003, 10:34 PM

Sorry, neither of them would fit the role at all. Just their voices alone would turn me off, espeically Charlie's. Luthor is supposed to have a loud, gruff, and evil voice, not one that comes from lips that barely move and has the pitch of a half-nerd.

Now Patrick Stewart, he'd fit the role quite well. With tad bit of voice coaching (only to get rid of the accent), he'd be perfect. He's got the right facial complexion and the even the natural baldness to boot

His role in Conspiracy Theory almost made him a Luthor-esque type.

Hey, come on, he pulled of a hero role (Professor X) quite well, so why not a comic villian this time around?

~~Leo656~~ · 06-12-2003, 10:40 PM

I'unno... I don't see Luthor the smooth, classy billionaire *necessarily* having a gruff voice. It can be, I suppose, I just dunno.

I think Patrick Stewart is just too nice to play Luthor. He almost always plays the good guy. I'd have a hard time seeing Professor X as Lex.

I mean, that's why Billy Zane could do it I think. EVERYBODY hates Billy Zane! You just LOOK at him and think "what a slimy, conceited, snobby... GRRRRRRR....." You just have to dislike him. He comes off as suave, but you just wanna punch him in the face. That's why I think he would work as Lex. His Titanic character with the Demon Knight haircut.

And Charlie Sheen... I don't think he'd be great at it either I just love the Estevez Brothers. Sue me.

Yeah... Everybody HATES the Phantom...I mean ZANE!!!............

Actually, I'd like to see Kurt Angle play Lex Luthor, better than Hannibal...which they are planning to do... and whats even worse is Chris Walken as Perry White.

And Just in case anybody is wondering...
Zane is my middle name..
My Username has nothing to do with Billy the actor..........

~~Leo656~~ · 06-13-2003, 01:48 AM

Heh... I think Kurt's a little too dorky to play a smooth operator like Lex, but then again he does look kinda tough bald... I've just gotten so used to him wearing a singlet that if I saw him in a suit it just would throw me off.

Last I heard, "Hannibal" was gonna play Jor-El, not Lex...

Further proof that ANY information about the Superman flick is only speculation at this point and not to be taken seriously.

Shellfox · 06-13-2003, 07:04 AM

This just me but I think Tim Curry could pull off Lex pretty damn well, he can do Evil, manipulity, arasticartic, over the top. He might even be willing to shave his head like the guy on Smallville

~~Leo656~~ · 06-13-2003, 02:48 PM

GAH!

Tim Curry scares me because he's been in every single movie ever made. Ever. Turn on some obscure movie at 2am on cable about gay cowboys who eat pudding and suddenly "OH MY GOD IT'S TIM CURRY!"

Just getting kinda sick of that guy....

More casting rumors: Director Brett Ratner recently told MTV that he'd like Christopher Walken to play Perry White, the Daily Planet newspaper editor. He also apparently wants Anthony Hopkins to play Lex Luthor and Ralph Fiennes to play Superman's father, Jor-El. No news on who will play the Man of Steel, but it looks like Matthew Bomer may still be in the running. (MTV, ComingSoon.net)

maybe you got a little confused.

Yep, I knew that

~~Leo656~~ · 06-13-2003, 05:26 PM

Well, on Supermanhomepage.com they had posted a very long interview with Ratner where he talked about the movie, and how excited he was that Anthony Hopkins was the first cast member to officially sign on, and that he would be playing Jor-El. For about a month, those were the only two things we knew for certain about the movie: Ratner directing, Hopkins as Jor-El. Now that Ratner's out, though, Hopkins is as well, and they're back at square one.

So, yet again, I'm not believing one thing about this movie until it's in the can.

You know NOTHING...like I mentioned above, he played a bad guy in Conspiracy Theory (if only for a supporting role). Hey, even when he played Picard on TNG, he still had that reputation for a captain whose bad side you do NOT want to get on.
