This casting gets weirder and weirder. I mean, I like Russell Crowe but....yeah. Bear in mind, it's only in talks right now and nothing is confirmed one way or another. On a different note, General Zod is going to be in the movie. (/me is obssessed with the idea of other surviving Kryptonians) Russel Crowe in talks to play Jor-El

 Some of us want to see Superman not It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Might be leaning more towards Mars Attacks!--I liked It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

I can't see it. Russell Crowe just isn't the new Marlon Brando.
And I also like Amy Adams but I'm having a hard time picturing her as Lois.

Is anyone else out there thinking that this movie has TOO many NAMEs in it? That many egos in a room just spells disaster. Sigh /me raises hand Oooh! Oooh! Me! I think it has too many names! But I'll still see it....

I agree; too many names means they're just going for box office numbers and what cameo appearances can rake in and not what they're *actually* going to do on-screen. Russell Crowe? (another Brit... just saying) As the perfect Jor-El, Marlon Brando cannot be beat. But saying you're going to use Crowe is just like giving up...  I just want this movie to work

So if Jor-El is in the movie, they're doing an origin story. Heavy sigh. Been there, done that.  Artemis

I thought Russell Crowe was from Australia or NZ? I thought -- but I'm not expert being American -- one had to be from the 'British Isles' to be considered a 'Brit' or does it also count for 'British Commonwealth'?
I agree. Not story or character driven with all the stars, but box-office driven. <<shakes head>> Sad. So sad.

Apparently Julia Ormond is in talks to play Lara.
I have nothing against Russell Crowe being in the film but I have to agree with Artemis, I have no desire to sit through the Kryptonian history lesson again. Hopefully they'll use these characters in a fresh, interesting way and not just rehash what was done in the original film.

Russel Crow is Australian. Yes, anyone from the British Commonwealth is a Brit if they are an English speaker. However, the Canadians speak American English. Artemis
