New Supergirl Movie - News/Discussion

[the fifth man]

I was looking at articles on this...and Paris Hilton was a person named for this movie back in '07. I'm glad that left that idea in the dust.

That would have been way worse than Taylor Swift in the role.

No argument there!

AMEN....1000x worse...

I could just imagine a stick figure supergirl flying around with a tiny dog...saying, "That's haawwwwt." in her druggie voice...

That actually gives me the shivers.

ROFL...good shivers I'm sure

Why do I have the feeling this will go the way of the 1984 Supergirl movie?

If Swift is cast, it very well could.

I enjoyed that movie, tyvm, especially the director's cut.

I actually don't mind the Supergirl movie but Hollywood hated it. It bombed big time at the box office.

[LtColCarter]

Well, we'll have to see what happens this time around...

Not exactly. Someone even contemplating that move would make me seriously question their sanity.

I certainly wish this new film, if it happens, all the best.

I think a Supergirl movie is a good alternative to do Superman movies until the whole legal thing is sorted. As for Swift doing the role, definitely something I don't want. I have never heard of her before, so this isn't a matter of "her music sucks, so I hate her doing this".

I am with LtColCarter on despising singers put in lead roles. I'm all for her wearing a skimpy Supergirl outfit but not in film. It's bad enough you can't walk a half decent low budget action flick without them sticking Rappers or Tom Arnold so sticking singers in big budget films purely based on looks is a terrible idea.

I looked at her acting credits, she is fairly good at playing herself and wow, an episode of CSI. Unless they plan to Disney up any Supergirl movie, with her flying around with the birds and singing, they should really go for someone who actually acts.

True, but after Superman II went downhill for the series. I don't think Superman III did that well either in the States and it came out a year before Supergirl and of course Superman IV bombed a few years after. I've seen the movie a few times, I liked most of it except for the ****ty love plot and the voodoo/magic element.

I sorta like Taylor Swift, but my first instinct upon hearing her being cast as Supergirl is to burst out in laughter. Admittedly were she to be in the movie, she could conceivably do a good job, but it's just such a silly idea. I'd probably still be interested in watching it though. I've recently become more of a fan of the idea of supergirl. But that is mostly from the DCAU. I really have no clue exactly how much I'd enjoy a big Hollywood movie about her.

Well if you haven't seen it, try watching the 1984 Supergirl movie. Be warned, it's not that great but I never had any problems with the Supergirl sequences, just the Dunaway/Cook stuff and the magical aspect of the movie.

DC: 'Taylor Swift not Supergirl'

A DC spokesman has denied the rumour that singer Taylor Swift is being considered for the lead role in a planned film adaptation of Supergirl.

Speculation started last month after several sources printed remarks from a "Hollywood insider" linking the 20-year-old star to the part, but DC appears to have rubbished the claims.

RTTNews quoted the DC spokesman as saying: "I'd love to know who the 'Hollywood insider' is, because that's as clueless a thing as I've heard all year."
