When I read about the
casting for the new Superman movie, entitled, Superman: Man of Steel, I was not
too interested to get to know more about the actor who's slated to wear the
cape and play the new Superman, Henry Cavill. This is probably because for me,
nothing can really replace the great Christopher Reeve. See, the last Superman
film starring Brandon Routh, wasn't a big success. I think that was largely
because Brandon played the part to a "T", meaning, he copied how
Christopher Reeve speaks and acts. Nothing replaces the original, right?
When I did find a chance to
get to know more about Henry Cavill, I discovered that I actually know who he
is; I just wasn't familiar with his name. He was in The Tudors, Stardust,
Tristan + Isolde, Red Riding Hood, and he played Jim Caviezel's son in The
Count of Monte Cristo, Albert Mondego. Now that I have seen how charming he is,
and that he can really act, I have high hopes for the new Superman film, what
with Oscar nominee Amy Adams playing the part of Lois Lane. The film has a
solid cast; Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, and Michael Shannon as General Zod.
They have yet to announce who will play Superman’s biological
father.
