Comic book writer Mark Millar has posted on his official website that “The Passion of The Christ” and “The Count of Monte Cristo” star Jim Caviezel is the new Superman…
You remember I told you to relax about Superman? That a very, very trusted and experienced director we’d all love was coming over? That McG was just a blip? That everything would be fine?
Well, my same good buddy has informed me that, as of last Thursday night, Mister Jim Caviezel is officially the new man of steel and what a perfect choice he is. Expect an announcement shortly. Also, this Superman Returns thing was just for the press release. The movie itself is called SUPERMAN (Reeve’s was called SUPERMAN THE MOVIE) and it’s starting everything from scratch. Brainiac. Krypton. Robots. Alien super-cities.
We’ll have to wait and see if Warner Bros. confirms this. Bryan Singer is directing the film for a Summer 2006 release.
Caviezel’s manager, Beverly Dean, previously said that the actor would be interested in playing the role. “Would he like to do it? He loves Superman. But the truth is there has been no offer, the script isn’t even finished – but absolutely he’d be interested.”
