Singer Homo Hype wrote:Russell Crowe will play Superman's biological father Jor-El in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, reports Variety.

He will be joining Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Michael Shannon and Antje Traue in the new film, coming to theaters in late 2012.

Christopher Nolan, Charles Roven, Emma Thomas and Deborah Snyder are producing the anticipated film, which is expected to start shooting next month.

Of course, those Apologist douchenuts can't link back to the original Variety article, so typical.

Russell Crowe flies to 'Man of Steel'
Aussie thesp to reprise role Brando took in '78 for WB's Superman reboot
By JUSTIN KROLL

EXCLUSIVE: Whether paying homage to Marlon Brando's cameo in "Superman" or just wanting a splashy marquee name, Christopher Nolan had all along been seeking an A-list thesp for Jor-El, Superman's biological father, since agreeing to godfather the franchise reboot "Man of Steel" for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.

He's got his man, and it's Russell Crowe.

The mercurial Aussie is in negotiations to take the role in "Man of Steel," which Zack Snyder is on board to direct with Brit thesp Henry Cavill set to play Superman. Warner Bros. had no comment on Crowe's casting.

Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane and Michael Shannon have already joined the cast. David Goyer penned the script and developed the story with Nolan who, as is his way, has kept plot details under wraps.

Charles Roven will produce along with Emma Thomas, Nolan and Deborah Snyder. Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips are producing for Legendary Pictures.

With production set to start next month, Jor-El was one of the last roles to cast, though they also are looking for a big name to play Superman's biological mother.

Brando was 54 when he appeared in Richard Donner's 1978 classic; Crowe is 47. Other names that had gone out for the role included Sean Penn and Clive Owen, Crowe was the final choice.

Crowe is currently filming "The Man With the Iron Fists" for Universal.

He is repped by WME.

Heh, you raise a good point. A caged fuckin killer like that, he really should've been Jor-El. Talk about a missed opportunity! This Snyder, what a clown, eh?

Russell Crowe Cast As Jor-El! Empty Russell Crowe On WeightLoss Mission

Russell Crowe on weightloss mission
Friday, 15 July 2011

Russell Crowe has embarked on an intense exercise regime
Russell Crowe Cast As Jor-El! Films_10-1_jpg_611301t


Russell Crowe has shed over a stone in less than a month on a strict diet and exercise regime.
The 47-year-old Gladiator star, who has reportedly been cast as Superman's biological father Jor-El in Zack Snyder's film Man of Steel, has begun a gluten-free diet and is putting himself through rigorous workouts in a bid to lose three stone in three-and-a-half months.

Russell tweeted: "There is a long way to go, one layer of tissue paper per day of effort and diet... it takes a long time."

He revealed 26 days into his 105 day regime that his weight has already dropped to 220 lbs this morning, and he started at 236.4 lbs.

The Oscar-winning actor has been putting himself through long bike rides, walking and swimming and hours of weight training and is also taking plenty of vitamin supplements to boost his energy.

But Russell also revealed he has been taking breaks from his regime to spend time with his sons, seven-year-old Charlie and five-year-old Tennyson.

Not Blog-worthy, but interesting nonetheless.

AP, on a non-Crowe point but something I noticed. On the 'Man Of Steel' category, you changed the image from a desert with tumbleweeds to a cemetery. The desert obviously depicted how dry things were for so long with the reboot. I just don't understand what the graves represent? Usually it would be death but that hardly seems to be the case now with the reboot. Could you elaborate?

It's just an idiom for what has been transpiring with movie news. Not quite as dry as a desert, but it has definitely been "as quiet as the grave".

Here's a rumor that sounds....right, to me:

WeMakeALotOfShitUp.com

NukeTheFridge.com claims to have received word from a reliable source who says they've seen concept art of what Jor-El will look like in the "Man of Steel" film.

Let me start of by saying that it looks NOTHING like Brando's version of Superman's daddy.
Jor-El is wearing a goldish/white armored suit that looks almost like the one in the video game Halo. The suit has the traditional "S" is the middle of his chest and it blends in with the color scheme of the suit. Jor-EL looks more like a soldier than a scientist.

Crowe's head is completely exposed and HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE STAR WARS EPISODE 2's Obi-Wan with the beard and hair. The only difference is that Crowe's hair looks darker. If I didn't know that Crowe was cast for the part I would have sworn it was Ewan McGregor.

The wrist gauntlet things look similar to Cavill's own. Here, I guess, is the origin of them.

Actually, this costume pretty much explains ALL of the silver piping on the Superman costume, as well as where the suit comes from:

All of the "armor" pieces are going to grow out of the silver sections, and the costume is either Jor-El's own, or at the very least one of the same. My money's on Option A.

A unique and visionary look into Krypton’s fashion styles. However, I would have thought that Krypton’s most renowned scientific mind would have deduced the potentially harmful affects that smoking might cause, unless of course, they have a different paradigm with health related diseases…

will be an interesting thing for them to do ap and probably yea it is likely what will happen. Unless this outfit jorel has is like just some cermonial suit he uses for council meetings(if they have a council like group in film) or other functions. Would be funky to see cavill suit morph into this in a battle armor up deal or something.

Comic Book Fan is the gold standard of obsessing over meaningless bullshit. He even exceeds Eunuch page commenters, several of whom condemned casting Mark McClure as Dax-Ur back in season 7 of Smallville because, in their words, we've never seen balding Kryptonians in less than prime shape in live action.

Marlon Brando and Terrence Stamp were stunned to get the news.
