This summer <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Superman Returns<\/span> is fitting that bill and perhaps <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">X-Men 3<\/span> (or whatever it is called) will, too.<\/p>\n<p>The <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Superman Returns<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/supermanreturns.warnerbros.com\/trailer.html\"><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">trailer is now available<\/span><\/a>. I checked it out the other day and left fairly impressed. The overall tone of it was promising, as was <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Kevin Spacey<\/span> as Lex Luthor. I am not so sure about Superman\/Clark Kent or Lois Lane though. Brandon Roth and Kate Bosworth have tough acts to follow. Roth has the problem of NOT BEING CHRISOPHER REEVE to overcome, which is a tall building to leap in a single bound itself. I am also concerned about Lois&#8217; kid being a central part of the plot, this just leads to emotionally manipulative (i.e. lazy) storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>There appear to be positive aspects of the movie though, specifically that it considers itself to be a continuation of <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Superman: The Movie<\/span> (and perhaps <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">II<\/span>), but not <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">III<\/span> &#038; <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">IV<\/span>; so we can forget those two. Also, some of the original <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">John Williams<\/span> themes will be included in the soundtrack.<\/p>\n<p>We will see how it all turns out in late June, but at the very least we can take comfort in the fact that <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Nicholas Cage<\/span> is not the guy in the tights.<\/p>\n<hr width=\"150\" size=\"1\" align=\"center\" noshade>In other movies-I-care-about news the <b>original<\/b> <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Star Wars<\/span> trilogy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/life\/movies\/news\/2006-05-03-star-wars_x.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">is being re-released on DVD<\/span><\/a>.
