Rumors about the Superman Movie Reboot

It was big news last week when it was revealed that Zach Snyder will direct the Superman Reboot.  Well now rumors are running rampant with many other"possible details" about the new Superman movie. 

Here are the "rumors" being reported thus far:

• The current title is Superman: Man of Steel (clever)

• The very brief synopsis from the script is, "Clark Kent is a journalist traveling the world trying to decide if he should, in fact, even become Superman." (sweet Jesus this is the best we could come up with?)

• The movie is reported to be more of a Clark Kent movie, not a Superman Movie (WTF?).

• Darren Aronofsky passed on the project because the script is a mess (posts above make it sound like it is still a mess)

• Apparently, Warner Bros. picked Snyder for  the script because it was rushed, is still a bit of a mess, and that Warner Bros. needs someone who won't spend months or even years trying to get it just right (i.e. Aronofsky), (God forbid we get it right after the disaster we all suffered through by Singer)

• The studio must have a new Superman movie in production by 2011 or they'll be subject to potential lawsuits by the heirs of the superhero's creators. (well it's not like WB has anybody on payroll that could help clean it up.  Geoff Johns?, John Byrne?, Mark Waid? Grant Morrison?, Dan Jurgens?)

• David Goyer's script is said to involve series staple General Zod, famously played by Terence Stamp in the first two "Superman" pictures, and Callum Blue on recent episodes of "Smallville". (really Zod? He's been recycled more times than a plastic water bottle.)

• Lastly, hopefully the woman pictured at the top of the page is in it (no confirmation yet)

Those are the rumors we have found thus far and we will continue to keep you posted if we hear any more rumblings about the reboot.

Let us know if you have any tidbits about the movie you would like to share or any ideas!

Superman XXX Casts Gay Porn Star in Role of Clark Kent

Vivid Entertainment has announced that Ryan Driller has been cast in the role of Superman / Clark Kent for the upcoming porn parody Superman XXX.  The tricky part is that Vivid also cast Jeremy Bilding for the part.  You see, Jeremy Bilding is the name Ryan Driller uses when he does gay porn movies.


Ryan has a substantial history in gay porn under his previous identity, Jeremy Bilding, before more recently trying to make the jump into straight porn.  His credits include such films as Gridiron Gang Bang, Summer Bareback Orgy and Men Hard at Work 5.  


Followers of Driller on Twitter knew that seeing him have sex in a Superman suit was only a matter of time, as the Porn Stars has always been a fan of the Man of Steel and has always wanted to play Superman.  


This bit of casting is a hard one for gfest to swallow (pun intended).  The guy definitely has the classic iconic look of Superman, he clearly has experience maintaining dual identities, he has a love for the character, and he even likes skydiving which will allow Director Axel Braun to shoot some flying scenes for the film.  But this isn't the sequel to Superman Returns, this is Superman XXX.  Is casting a gay porn star in such a high profile role in a straight porn movie a good idea?

Well Vivid Entertainment sure thinks so, and their company is at the top of the porn industry.  Superman XXX was given the green light after the enormous success of Batman XXX: A Porn Parody, which is in position to become the top selling adult DVD of the year.

Vivid's parody productions stand out because their is a bit more emphasis on production quality than you might see in your average adult DVD. In Batman XXX  for example, Vivid hired the original TV show's costume designers, which observers argue helped it stand out against cheaper parody productions. The trailer for the "Batman" adult spoof has recorded nearly one million views on YouTube.


“The enormous success of Batman XXX: A Porn Parody made this project very exciting,” said Braun.  “As usual, I’m trying to recreate the look and feel of the source material and have some fun with it without offending the fans, but while the Batman TV show was shot in studio with a relatively low budget, Richard Donner’s movie was a huge production with plenty of exteriors and groundbreaking special effects, so it will be a lot more challenging, and definitely more interesting.”

What do you think of the casting of gay porn star Ryan Driller as Superman?

Superman's Honeymoon Got Off to a Rocky Start

Pretty funny Clark Kent - Lois Lane - Batman cartoon found while wasting time at funnyjunk.

Did Clark Kent Had a Sex Change Operation?

Most people think Superman's alter ego Clark Kent is a dumb disguise.  They question how a super reporter like Lois Lane doesn't realize that Clark Kent is really just Superman in a suit and a pair of glasses. 

We agree that simply putting on glasses is kind of a dumb disguise for Superman, but for Supergirl we think it works really, really well. 

WB wants MAD MEN'S Jon Hamm as Next Superman

We already know that Christopher Nolan is producing, David Goyer writing and Jonah Nolan possibly heading-up the next Superman movie. But, we do not know the answer to the biggest question for the December 2012 reboot, Who will be the new Superman?

Since the confirmation of a new Superman movie a plethora of names have been rumored to become the Man of Steel.  According to Comic Book Movie, thirty-nine year, old Mad Men star (and Lex Luthor in hilarious funny or die video), Jon Hamm is being seriously considered for the role of Superman.

Hamm certainly looks the part of Clark Kent and does a wonderful job on Mad Men.  I just don't know if a 40 year old can pull of the Man of Steel.  Then again, Harrison Ford is still playing a bad-ass at sixty-eight years of age and Robert Downey Junior is doing a fantastic job as Tony Stark in the Iron Man films at age forty-five.

In the end I highly doubt Hamm is the choice especially if you look at the longevity of the project.  We must assume that Warner Bros. will want more than one Superman film.  We will most likely see a trilogy and hopefully at least one Justice League movie.  That puts Hamm at over 50 before the run may end.

All we can do is wait and see.
