RUMOR: Daniel Day-Lewis Being Looked At For Superman's Father Jor-El?

In the same article from LatinoReview they claim the rumored involvement of Daniel Day-Lewis (There Will Be Blood) was not for a villainous role. Instead it was for the iconic role of Jor-El (Superman's father) famously played by Marlon Brando in the original films. They also say that Krypton will be shown along with Superman's biological mother and father. I expect if Jor-El makes the film it would be a cameo and I'd like to think they would quickly move through any origin scenes. As we've been subjected to enough of the origin of Superman and it's unnecessary to re-track the story.

Noomi Rapace Joins Sherlock Holmes 2

The Hollywood Reporter says that Swedish actress Noomi Rapace will take the role of a mysterious French Gypsy in Sherlock Holmes 2. Rapace seems to be on on a Hollywood hot streak after her powerful performance (possible best actress Oscar nomination) in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. She's also in talks to take on roles in Mission Impossible 4, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (alongside Jeremy Renner) and the lead in Ridley Scott's Alien prequels.




There is talk from online sources including ThePlaylist that Professor Moriarty could be played by Daniel Day-Lewis and not Brad Pitt.
