Brandon Routh on a Darker Superman
Published 10/30/2008 at "SuperHeroHype.com - 30 most recent stories"
IESB.net caught up with Superman Returns star Brandon Routh, who has a role in Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make a Porno , and asked about the "Dylan Dog" comic book adaptation Dead of Night (Routh says they start filming in mid-January) and possibly making the next "Superman" film darker. Here's a clip on the latter: I don't know, I don't think the character necessarily has to be darker, I think he is kind of dark in a sense, emotional dark, in Superman Returns, and the movie as a whole was slightly dark, they could have had more prowess in it I suppose, and ...

Brandon Routh Talks About Darker Superman Sequel
Published 10/31/2008 by Colin Boyd at Get The Big Picture
After the success of The Dark Knight, DC Comics and Warner Bros. decided to get even more serious about this comic book thing. Serious has a couple of meaning in this context, because on the one hand, they were going to pursue more titles and approach them the way they had the Batman films, and on the other hand, the tone will be a lot darker across the board, a move the studio implied would have helped its recent Superman Returns by also announcing that they're asking for a do-over on that one. IESB sat down with Brandon ...

Published 10/31/2008 by Erik Davis at Cinematical
Just what you needed at the end of a long day: more stuff (and things) to look at: -- Is anyone else getting sick of these celeb-stacked Vote videos? Election day is when? Really? I haven't heard a peep about it. (See below) -- So remember that totally awesome Ghostbusters video game that was supposed to come and then didn't? (Watch the trailer over here) Well the good news is Atari has bought the right to publish not only the Ghostbusters game, but also The Chronicles of Riddick ... so you can spend hours pretending to be a bald Vin Diesel wearing blacked-out swim ...

Routh Mouths Off
Published 10/31/2008 by Kirsten Anderson at At The Movies - Film News and Reviews
Brandon Routh, the once and future Superman.  Okay, I guess I wouldn’t say Brandon Routh mouths off so much as politely responds to enquiries from IESB. But the lame rhymey title was too much for me to resist. Routh, who plays a gay porn star in Zack and Miri Make a Porno, talks about improv-ing on the set of Zack and Miri. He also confirms that there will be a Dylan Dog film–titled Dead of Night–and they expect to begin filming in January. Kevin Munroe will direct. And of course Routh talks about a Superman reboot and the plausibility of  making the character darker. ...

'Angels and Demons' Goes Viral, Pattinson in 'Ashes', 'Planet of the Apes' Reboot and More

... his reboot of RoboCop will be a "real reinvention." Yay! Brandon Routh talked about a sequel to Superman Returns and the idea of a darker story with IESB: "I don't think the character necessarily has to be darker, I think he is kind of dark in a sense, emotional dark, in Superman Returns , and the movie as a whole was slightly dark, they could have had more prowess in it I suppose, and I think that's one thing that can be done in the sequel, so I don't know how much darker you want to make it necessarily. There are all kind of dark places to explore. But, I don't ...

Brandon Routh on Zack and Miri and a Dark Superman
Published 11/2/2008 at OH NO!!
Brandon Routh plays opposite Justin Long in Kevin Smith's ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO. Their scenes are extremely raunchy (I wouldn't suggest watching this with your mother) but also extremely funny.  As Long's boyfriend, Routh is a gay porn actor who is also a high school friend to Miri. Who better to go to when needing porno advice? The film opens in Friday and the IESB had a chance to speak exclusively with Brandon this week. He told us how hard it was to keep a straight face when Long would improv in the middle of a scene. Also, he tells us that Dylan Dog is ready to start shooting in mid-January of '09 with Kevin ...
