It's confirmed... Source: www.zap2it.com/movies/news/story/0,1259,---23312,00.html LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Brandon James Routh! Warner Bros. confirmed Friday (Oct. 22) that a relatively unknown soap star will be the next Man of Steel in the upcoming Bryan Singer-directed "Superman" film. The story of Routh's casting coup hit websites over the past weekend and has been snowballing among comic book aficionados and fansites since. "It was always my absolute intention to hire an unknown for this role," the film's director, Bryan Singer, said in a statement. "Brandon is an extremely fine actor who possesses the physical qualifications of Clark Kent/ Superman. But he also embodies the legacy and history of this character in a way that makes me certain he's the right choice." Routh, 25, went out for the role when McG was attached to the project. Standing at 6-foot-2, the actor matches the height of Christian Bale, who beat out contenders to play another DC Comics hero, the Caped Crusader in the upcoming "Batman Begins." Routh is probably most recognizable from his time on ABC's "One Life to Live" and MTV's "Undressed." He's also made guest appearances on "Gilmore Girls," "Will & Grace," "Cold Case" and "Oliver Beene." Past contenders for the comic book star include Oscar winner Nicolas Cage, Brendan Fraser, Josh Hartnett, Jim Caviezel and Tom Welling of "Smallville."

The filming of a Superman movie in Sydney’s central business district on 10-11 April forced road closures and caused significant traffic congestion. Filming is scheduled to continue on 16-17 April, though business visitors are unlikely to be affected because it will take place on a weekend. Travellers expecting to be in the city on the days scheduled for filming are advised to avoid the areas that will be used for the movie to prevent travel delays.
The filming took place on and near Wynyard park in the city centre and affected York and Carrington streets, restricting access to the harbour bridge and Wynyard bus and train stations. Filming is expected to continue in Sydney until August 2005.
