It's an open secret on gossip boards like Popbitch and Holy Moly, though I've got no idea if it's really true. I feel sorry for him if he is actually gay and thinks he has to hide it to the extent of having a fake girlfriend. Is our culture still so homophobic that we can't accept a gay leading man?

I don`t think it`s homophobia as such, more a case of women (and men, in the case of lesbian leading ladies) not wanting to watch someone they can`t fantasise about.

And it`s not as if there`ve been precedents, in movies, pop, what have you.

Yes

There certainly are precedents - Will Young, Ian McKellan (granted, he's not strictly a leading man) erm... and err... Well, you get the picture.

it doesn't matter what sexuality they are to be a decent actor though, media seems to take it out of all proportion

Ahh, but the point is, can you see Ian Mckellan being seen by women the way George Clooney or Brad Pitt is? Same with Will Young, he`s "respected" but not in the same league as say, Robbie Williams, who is told to be overtly sexual.

I`m not saying it`s right, I`m just saying that`s how it is. If you`re gay and in the media, you`re either told to tone it down, or play it up and be as camp as a row of rainbow coloured tents.

of course it doesn't but that's not the point and it's nothing to do with the media although they don't help, we still live in a homophobic society whatever anyone says that's just the way it is

I'll fancy anyone, gay or straight, given half the chance. But I realise I'm not representative of the population.

same here

some gay men are stunning, such a waste

Meh, I`ll fancy no one I know for sure I`l never have a chance with.

In other words, I don`t fancy many people.

So . . . Superman, I hear there's a film being made . . .

Hmmm, yes so two pages of whether or not an actor who's not in this film is gay or not.

Not that it would matter (I still fancy lovely Wilbur Young) but I do know several people who went to school with him including a girl who was seeing him just before he went to New Zealand to make 'some film'.

That's not to say he hasn't switched teams since then of course.

Now back to 'Superman Returns', filming started this week so expect pictures to start leaking any day now.

You know what'd be a good supe film

Dark Knight Returns!!

On set video reports from Singer himself (I hear he's gay if we want to stay on the more libellious topic). Enjoy.

Laurie pulls out of Superman

Matron!

That's a real shame, he brings a certain something to every role. Although I do agree that Laurie is a lot younger than the character really warrants. It's a pain he had to pull out for an American drama as well and not a more promising project... something with Fry

-edit-

never mind. more videos up at blue tights:

location shots - routh as clark kent.

Good grief, he looks eerily like Christopher Reeve.

Yup yup, some good casting. Certainly a closer match than "Dean Cane"

Jesus, he really does.

And kinda plastic too . . . Wos that all about?

Probably heavily made-up, not only to look a little more like Reeve but a standard amount of slap for the big-screen. At least he's not really shiny

Bloody hell, that's uncanny.

And we have the suit.

nuts. didn't work. try again.
small version
big version

Not exactly a vibrant and stunning red cape is it?

hmmm....

Is the suit going to be more colorful than that or is that it?

edit: why can't you post the image?

That is the suit.

That`s why I don`t like Superman, the big geek.

That just doesn't look right, I don't know what it is but that just doesn't look right . . .

Superman's suit has always been quite shit. I think they've done a good job of making it look less stupid than it could have without turning it into something that isn't Supes.

Nah, something isn't right with it. Aside from the fact it's blue and brown.

I give you Lois Lane



and her ipod

Oh bloody hell! They're everywhere.

What leaked pictures from the Superman Returns film, or ipods?

iPods. I would have made a Superman related comment but I'm neither disappointed or excited about the choice of Lois Lane.

Me neither. I've yet to see the woman in anything. Unconvincing hair colour though.

Gah, they've both gone now.

Is that kate Bosworth I see playing Lois Lane? Seems like an odd choice.

Here ya go



and yes it is Legolas' other half Kate Bosworth. I thought it was an odd choice at first, but after seeing her fine performance in 'Wonderland' and these pictures of her in costume I can see it now.

Lordy, that's very skintight, isn't it? Phew!

I've never actually seen Kate Bosworth in anything so I'm going to have to take your word for it that she's good. Right now, I can't get past her unholy alliance with Mincey Rada (Guildhall) Gay Boy.

Oi!

Watch it...

You love it, it gives you something to kick against.

As long as it ditches the post feminist shit from Smallville.....

.....and Lordy! He's got a proto arse chin! Imagine seieng that on the big screen! Could take your eye out!

Did they print it as well? Or just tell it to you in confidence?

If they printed it, it's probably a lie.
