Superman Reboot Update: Laurence Fishburne is Perry White!

Big news once again arrived in the doorstep of Superman fans anxiously waiting for news surrounding the Zack Snyder directed and Christopher Nolan produced Superman reboot flick by Warner Bros. that is tentatively being title "Man of Steel". According to a post in Slash Film, the role of Perry White, the EIC and head of the Metropolis Newspaper the Daily Planet, has been given to veteran African-American actor Laurence Fishburne!

Yes, coming off a related comic book twist revelation and news of a new version of Ultimate Spider-Man, we have a new version of Perry White, and an African-American one at that too. Regardless of the racial change, I'm all for it and Fishburne is an excellent actor. His resume is extensive when it comes to cool, collected, and authoritative figures, and people best remember him well as Morpheus from the Matrix films, a role that remains kick-ass to this day. This also won't be the first time a Supes character makes the switch, as Pete Ross was also portrayed as a African-American character in Smallville by Sam Jones III. It will be interesting to see how the dynamic plays in the Superman film reboot with Fishburne as Perry White. For more details on the story, visit the source post at Slash Film!

Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill in the title role, soars into theaters on June 13, 2013!

Hit-Girl Is Love!

She's still pretty young and in her pre-teen years, but hot dang, that kid totally made the whole world swoon over her!

Yahoo! Movies reports that Actress Chloe Grace Moretz has become the buzz of the interwebz, more than Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan, and it's all thanks to her absolutely stunning performance as the character "Hit-Girl" in the comic book film "Kick-Ass"! Chloe's role as Big Daddy's sugar plum killing machine has everyone who saw the movie rattling with excitement and glee. Honestly, if there was ever a kid around with those killer skills, I'd be scared. Heck, her language alone will send shivers to the spine of any punk who dares to mess with her. Of course, Ms. Moretz isn't anything like that in real life, but she definitely kicked ass and stole the spotlight from that movie! Having trained with Jacky Chan's Stunt Team, Chloe did most of her stunts, and she even brought home one of the spare Hit-Girl costumes as a keepsake. Unfortunately, she's had a growth spurt that makes the outfit too small for her to fit in, so there'll be no comeback for the lil' vigiante in time for Halloween. Still, her act is already immortalized in our hearts, and for all the Matrix and Rainbow Six shots she has taken in her action scenes in the movie, we all have fallen in love with Hit-Girl, whether we admit it or not!

One of the scenes that got me to admire the young actress even more was her use of the Balisong (which she pronounces "bah-LEE-Song"), a Filipino switchblade/ folding knife that she handles with excellent proficiency. This clip here may be a spoiler to those who haven't seen the movie, so vie at your own risk. Being from the RP, I find this quite fascinating to watch, especially when it's used by a young girl who really KICKS ASS.
