    Superman Movie: Casting Update Print E-mail
    22 Aug 2004

    Check out this article from the NY Post...

    August 17, 2004 -- It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... you? Casting agents for the long-suffering "Superman" movie have turned to Craigslist.org to find a leading man - now that every A, B and C-minus Hollywood star has passed on the part.

    "Late 20s, tall (must be at least 6 feet), handsome, chiseled, good looks, athletic, strong character, all-American, confident yet awkward," reads the casting call posted on the Web bulletin board in Seattle earlier this month.

    "We have to find someone over 6 feet tall, with good looks, who can act. It's a little on the difficult side," says Seattle casting agent Patty Kalles, who held the open call. She told The Post there would also be auditions in New York, Chicago, Vancouver, Dallas and Los Angeles.

    "Last week was pretty pathetic. I was like, God, is that all there is? I mean, they were nice on the eyes, but ..."

    It's not as if there's no one in Hollywood who fits the bill. But a Who's Who of Hollywood hunks - Jude Law, Ashton Kutcher, Josh Hartnett, Brendan Fraser and Paul Walker among them - reportedly refused to don the blue tights for "Superman Returns: Unbelievable."

    "They've had such a run of bad luck getting this thing together," says Martin Grove, a columnist for Hollywood Reporter Online.

    "Casting a role that's as high-profile as Superman is obviously a major piece of work. And the bigger the star, the more insecure they are" - which translates to skittishness about signing on to a project that's had a revolving-door relationship with directors.

     

    Revolving-door, my foot!  Everyone's afraid they'll get "The Curse".

    I, however, am not afraid! 

    Attention casting directors... to the right is my latest head shot.  Please feel free to e-mail me with a million dollar contract.
