Just as I expected, Rupert Evans has not been signed to play Superman in the “Justice League” film. Evans’ reps were contacted and denied that he had even auditioned for the part. Ever since Dark Horizons announced a few years ago that Jensen Ackles (“Supernatural”) had been tapped to play The Flash in a live action film and then that he was also playing Leon in Resident Evil 3 and 4 — neither of which were remotely true — I’ve taken their casting scoops with a grain of salt. Occasionally, they’re dead on, but not often enough to be trusted.
In other JLA casting news, Moviehole is reporting that “The Grudge 2” Aussie actress Teresa Palmer has landed the role of Wonder Woman in George Miller's anticipated Justice League adaptation at Warner Bros. According to the site, Palmer just nudged out competition by Minka Kelly and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Weeell, I looked her up on IMDB.com and just had to shake my head at what I found. First of all, she’s blonde. OK, so she can dye her hair. No biggie. Then I looked at her height. 5’5”. Seriously?! Grrr. OK, so the fact that I’m 6’1” makes me a little sensitive on this height subject. It’s also one reason why I loved Wonder Woman as a kid. But, surely you need to be TALL to play the Amazonian Princess, and I don’t mean tall for a woman. I mean, 6 feet, minimum. Good grief, people. What do I have to do to get on with the casting of this film?
Moving on…
Another “Supernatural” convention has been announced for early April 2008 in Orlando, Florida. Jared Padalecki is the only Winchester who has been confirmed to attend. Since Orlando isn’t that far from me, I’m so there. For more information, check out this site: http://www.eyeconfla.com
