Jude Law Is New Superman
World Entertainment News Network

Hunky British actor JUDE LAW is the new SUPERMAN - after beating off
competition from JOHNNY DEPP and COLIN FARRELL.

The TALENTED MR RIPLEY actor has been chosen by producers for the
high-profile role in new movie BATMAN VS SUPERMAN - because he
doesn't fit-in to the normal superhero stereotype.

A source on the PEOPLE NEWS website reports, "They wanted to get away
from the mega-muscled action stars."

People News also claim that Farrell has bagged the part of Batman,
despite reports that British star CHRISTIAN BALE has signed up for
the role.

The film will be directed by WOLFGANG PETERSEN, the man behind AIR
FORCE ONE, THE PERFECT STORM and the cult German submarine drama DAS
BOOT.

Hee!

This actually got debunked by Warner Brothers late, late Friday afternoon. Someone's wishful thinking that got way far ahead of itself.

you know someone said this to me this weekend and i was like, no way. but then someone else sent me this this morning, but it's not been verified by the trades or any of the normal sources we use. i'll wait and see. (i had to edit it to reflect the wishy-washyness)

This sounds like one pretty movie. If nothing else.

Eye candy.. definitely. Jude in tights. Phwoar!

The should make it X rated, but that's just me.. Batman Vs. Superman.. the title just screams slashalicious.

My cubemate at work (who knows I slash) saw the title while surfing his usual news pages. He turned to me and asked, "Did you have something to do with this?"

Hm. That'd be interesting-two distinctly American superheroes being played by a Brit and a Welshman. However, according to Coming Attractions (http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/mainFramed.html) it's false.

I think Ain't it Cool reported it as being true, and I know many people think that site is fucking doctrine... so perhaps that's why the rumor is rather out of control.

i know it's all over the place. the source lines i normally use have said nada, but it's so friggin rampant.

Christian Bale? Is that part a lie too? Please let it be. He makes me puke!!!!!!


Who the hell is Colin Farrell? It sounds like a sissy name to me. Pansyass casting here.

Oh, worse than a sissy, an Irishman. I know I will get flamed for this, but you know CG, I think I have room for this remark.
