Seems like Perry White's got himself a tan now

http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/08/02/laurence-fishburne-perry-white-man-of-steel-exclusive/

Interesting casting nonetheless.

Lois Lane and Clark Kent just got their boss: Laurence Fishburne will play Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White in Man of Steel, EW has learned exclusively. White has traditionally been a hard-charging, old fashioned newspaperman, who relies on his ace reporters, Clark and Lois, to get the big scoop.

A couple more trips to the buffet and he might as well be Barry White.

 

[spiderman123]

Does not change how I feel. I know Zack Snyder is going to fuck this up.

 

[Zabka]

No Perry Black jokes please

 

[Blader]

Hey, you're not DM!

 

[spindashing]

Does this mean Montana Fisburne will play Lois in the XXX remake?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Larry got fat.

 

[Nizz]

Laurence Fishburne is great so I approve.

 

[TacticalFox88]

They should quit while they are ahead.

Thats just mean

 

[Escape Goat]

Perry White? More like Perry Bl...

No Perry Black jokes please

oh.

 

[spiderman123]

I just realized this is the guy whose daughter is doing porno.

 

[DMczaf]

Hey, you're not DM!

I can only be in one place at a time. I'm not Superman.

 

[Door2Dawn]

Will his daughter be in it to?

 

[Gary Whitta]

I don't know how this movie is going to turn out, but I have to say I like that particular piece of casting a lot.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Thats just mean

No, it's also fast, funny and original.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

It's already guaranteed that with Zack Snyder at the helm, this movie will have some decent action scenes.

Cast is also looking good so far.

I have faith, I actually like Snyder's work.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Does this mean Montana Fisburne will play Lois in the XXX remake?

lol. I wouldnt mind seeing more of her. Other than those marks on her ass, I thought she looked pretty good before TBH.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Does not change how I feel. I know Zack Snyder is going to fuck this up.

And It'll still be better than Superman Returns.

You've been quiet for too long. Gold. :lol

Between this and the new "Spiderman" news I can't help but feel white people are being mistreated in the name of "diversity." Spiderman is white. Perry White is white. Nick Fury is white. Always has always win; pretending otherwise is basically discrimination, telling long standing fans "sorry, your race is no longer the in-thing."

What if I made a film about Martin Luther King and he was played by Paul Walker?

 

[SensualSeduction]

Good

[alr1ght]

Montana Fishburne starring in "Balls of Steel" cumming 2012.

And It'll still be better than Superman Returns.

If they don't fuck up the suit.

[spiderman123]

I think what Phenoix Dark is trying to say ( excluding the ML and PW scenario) is why not remain true to the original , why these variations?!

edit: or he could be trolling

 

[alr1ght]

c'mon guys

 

[unomas]

Didn't his daughter join some mens steel as well recently?

Couldn't you at least pick an actor?

 

[Spike Spiegel]

No the fuck he's not.

Uh, yes. He is.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Please don't feed Phoenix Dark.

 

[krypt0nian]

Silly news. They should have just cast him as a new Editor.

 

[JDSN]

Nice, I guess were getting some slow mo fat physics.

 

[spiderman123]

No the fuck he's not.

Nick Fury is originally white (IIRC).

You know, I can see what PD is saying, but then I also think the best actor to portray the character and not the character design should be cast.

With Spider-Man, I'm pretty much flabbergasted that they could replace Parker in the name of 'diversity'. With Perry White, whose never really had an iconic image, but is more identifiable in how he acts, I have no problem.

 

[Satch]

PhoenixDark delivering the shenanigans again, I see

 

[Tron 2.0]

Explosive slo mo jowl action...in 3D!

9/10

Fixed.
