| Quotes: |
[on Superman's costume for Superman Returns (2006)] I always had the general idea of the suit. With X-Men, although they had extraordinary powers, they also had physical weaknesses. The suits were for protection as well as costume. Superman is the Man of Steel. Bullets bounce off him, not the suit.
<br />
<hr>
[on casting Brandon Routh as Superman/Clark Kent in Superman Returns (2006)] I was always dead set on casting an unknown. Brandon embodied the character the best - his acting talent, physical presence and personality.
<br />
<hr>
Superman has always been about Lois Lane, Superman and Clark Kent and this love triangle between these three people who really are only two people.
<br />
<hr>
I identify with Superman. I am adopted, I am an only child, and I love the idea that he comes from another world, that he's the ultimate immigrant. He has all these extraordinary powers, and he has a righteousness about him.
<br />
<hr>
There's no point in making films unless you intend to show us something special, otherwise just go out and watch a play. Kubrick showed us something special. Every film was a challenge, and a direct assault on cinema's conventions. |
