Jerry O'Connell On 'Superman' Casting


DarkHorizons reports that Jerry O'Connell has been talking about his screen test for Superman.

"Yes I tested. and hey, they still haven't called me back - so for all I know I'm going to get home and have a cape on my front door step. The movie looks very cool, and Im a big fan, so just being asked was an honor, but being on the short list - hey, cant do much better than that. They won't get it up and running real soon. I even hear they want to make it here, so if I can get a free ticket back to Australia, I'm definitely in. I think they've cast like nearly every one of the supporting players, even Jimmy Olsen, but yet they can't decide on a Superman". There's still no director at present, though he, Matthew Bomer some kid from "The Count of Monte Cristo" were still in the running for the title role. O'Connell also tested for a role in "Spider-Man 2 as well but lost out to another boy because "its all about fresh faces". Finally, would he be up for a "Sliders" movie? "Every year I get asked whether we will do a movie of it, and I'm more and more interested. If we cant get everyone back together and get a good story, why not".
