Amy Adams Is Lois Lane

Having only recently reported on her possible involvement in Rock of Ages, Amy Adams is in the news again as she is set to play journalist Lois Lane in the upcoming reboot of Superman, according to The Los Angeles Times.
The film’s director Zack Synder spoke to The LA Times from Paris and said of the casting, “There was a big, giant search for Lois. For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.” He also spewed about the character, “It goes back to what I’ve said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What’s important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today’s audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him (in tone and substance). British actor Henry Cavill will play Superman, while Kevin Costner and Diane Lane have been cast as his adoptive folks.
Synder’s latest film, Sucker Punch, is a beautiful mess and just opened poorly at the American box-office after being slaughtered by critics. He’s still an incredibly talented helmer, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing what he does with Superman.
