Now, this doesn't mean that Routh can't play Superman when a new film project finally gets off the ground. In fact, Routh is still very interested in playing the charecter.

The Harry Potter movies have always made money, but they haven't mattered for years. Certainly not to people like me. They're just big-budget cult movies that spin round and round inside their own CG-pumped fishbowl. I got off the boat five years ago (i.e., after Alfonso Cuaron 's Azkaban) and I'll never get back on. Ever. I might feel differently if the producers were to venture out into the world...

We pulled THE ROARING TWENTIES off our shelf today and watched it for the first time, because nothing says the 4th of July quite like speakeasies and gangsters (grin). Seriously, we were inspired to watch it by TCM's outstanding new documentary, 1939: HOLLYWOOD'S GREATEST YEAR , which I highly recommend. The documentary airs again this month on July 10 and July 31. THE ROARING TWENTIES is a terrific...

If indeed the message wasn't lost in translation, Brandon Routh doesn't think he'll be back as Superman. The one-time Clark Kent told Brazilian website Omelete that his contract with Warner Bros. has expired after one movie and one very long wait. As for what's next for the Man of Steel, Routh claims he's in the dark, which kind of makes sense, since by his own admission he won't be involved. "I...
