CULTURE: Small Role in "Superman" Brings Huge Weight to Production

In Bryan Singers upcoming Superman Returns, the role of Jor-El, Clarks biological father, has been cast. While it may be a small role and not worth exploring if not for the person who was cast: Marlon Brando.

Much like Laurence Olivier's brief resurrection in "Sky Captain" last year, the late Marlon Brando will be appearing as Jor-El in "Superman Returns" which just began shooting here in Australia. As far as we can tell Brando will not be CGI, but rather Singer plans to use stock footage of Marlon Brando that was originally shot by "Superman" director Richard Donner for the first two films.

So much of Brando's work from the second one was left on the cutting room floor due to legal reasons that it's certainly possible they could be resurrected, the question is is the material of good enough quality to be usable.

This also gels with talk of Singer using items that are familiar to the first two films such as the design of the Fortress of Solitude and of Krypton. He has also mentioned that he will use part of the famous John Williams score.

I'll bet he'll be easier to work with this time around too, despite the thousand hours it's going to take to clean up the old footage so it's even par with todays standards and then stick him in the movie.

I'm fine with it, as long as they bring back Zod as Superman's quirky (read: alcoholic) but ultimately loveable uncle.

if marlon brando hadn't given everyone the finger for the last fifteen years of his life, this would be a worthwhile tribute.

I understand Singer wants to pay homage to the orignal movies -- but they sucked. I'd rather he start fresh, especially since Brando's pronunciation of everything was hilariously awful -- like he forgot there were vowels.

If by original movies, you mean 3 and 4, then yes, they sucked. But how can you say that Superman 2 sucked? HOW?!?!

So is this Superman a restart of the franchise like the new Batman, or is it a continuation?

I think the big question really is - Why the fuck are they making another Superman movie in the first place?
