I realize that this is way off topic, but ever since I've heard the rumored plot to the upcoming World's Finest: Superman/Batman flick, I've had a difficult time getting Smith's "Superman Lives" script out of my head. Most notably, I've been pining over who would play each role in the film.
Allow me to submit my cast ideas, and if you don't like 'em... whatever. It's all in good fun.
Superman/Clark Kent -- Dylan McDermott (Steel Magnolias, "The Practice") or Peter Krause (The Truman Show, "Sports Night")*
*Either guy would obviously have to buff himself up for the part, but both could pull it off depending on the age of the character.
Lois Lane -- Ashley Judd (A Time to Kill, Double Jeopardy)
Jimmy Olsen -- Christopher Kennedy Masterson (American History X, My Best Friend's Wedding)
Lex Luthor -- Kevin Spacey (L.A. Confidential, American Beauty)
Brainiac -- Gary Oldman (The Fifth Element, Air Force One)
Doomsday -- ILM (Industrial Light and Magic)
The Eradicator -- (Voice of) Ed Harris (The Rock, The Truman Show)
Cat Grant -- Helen Hunt (As Good As It Gets, Cast Away)
Perry White -- Lane Smith (My Cousin Vinny, The Legend of Bagger Vance)
L-Ron -- (Voice of) Brent Spiner (Phenomenon, Star Trek: Insurrection)
Misty (Mercy) -- Bridgette Wilson (Mortal Kombat, The Wedding Planner)
Deadshot -- Elias Koteas (Fallen, Apt Pupil)
Batman -- Alec Baldwin (The Shadow, Mercury Rising)
Jor-El (in Dream Sequence) -- Richard Gere (Pretty Woman, First Knight)
Governor Caitlin Bree -- Lisa Spoonhauer (Clerks, Bartender)*
*She has to guest star!
Doctor Shuster -- Robert Picardo (Star Trek: First Contact, The Amati Girls)
General Derris -- Hugh Quarshie (Wing Commander, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace)
Thanks for hearing me out!
Sincerely
Kevin C.
