Superman cast shaping up nicely!

I am really liking the way the new Superman movie cast is shaping up. I love Amy Adams and the guy they chose for Superman is just right for the part.

Amy is a good choice for Lois. Henry Cavill will make a good Superman too. He played Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk on all 38 episodes of The Tudors on Showtime. Charles married, among others, Mary Tudor the younger sister of Henry VIII.

I remember him as "Ugly Betty" s boyfriend...and he had a tv series that I liked that he was a regular guy that got a computer program accidentally uploaded into his brain....made him the perfect spy.

Why do I feel like I am describing "Chuck" ? It wasn't Chuck...it came lots earlier.

Personal Quotes


[When asked how he deals with his fame.] "My fame? Truly I don't
consider myself famous...long way to go yet. But if anyone does ask for
an autograph it's a wonderful feeling..."With Twilight
(2008/I), there were all sorts of rumors going around, [but] I was
never sent a script, never asked to be in the film... I think Stephenie Meyer wanted me initially when she saw me in The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), but by the time the movie went into pre-production I was too old. Batman ( Batman Begins (2005) ), I may have been spoken about in a room at some stage, but never auditioned or screen-tested. Superman ( Superman Returns (2006) ), yes, that came very close. And Bond ( Casino Royale (2006) ) came very close as well.
