From Msnbc.msn.com ‘Passion’ star won’t turn into Superman - Hope For David Boreanaz ?By Jeannette Walls Thursday 14 October 2004, by Webmaster “Superman” will fly again - but it looks like he won’t have the face of Jesus. James Caviezel - who rocketed to fame as Jesus in “The Last Passion of the Christ” - is, according to widespread reports, in discussions to star in a film tentatively called “Superman Returns” directed by “X-Men” director Bryan Singer. Caviezel is apparently quite interested in the role. “I have had no direct, face-to-face talks with Bryan Singer. All talking has been done through mediators,” Caviezel told IESB.com. “It appeals to me a great deal, but I haven’t seen a script yet. I like to play iconic characters, and I see the role of Superman as a big responsibility. Playing Superman would be a great challenge.” Singer, however, apparently is set against the casting. “James Caviezel [is] a wonderful actor,” the director recently told Aint-It-Cool.com. “But no, I’m committed to casting an unknown.” Caviezel, by the way, had only kind words for an earlier Superman. “Christopher Reeve is the greatest Superman ever in my mind,” he told IESB. “The original movies transcend what is common in film because they mix comedy and drama so well.” 4 Forum messages |
