Kate Bosworth & Kevin Spacey Join Superman

[Friday, January 7th, 2005]
Official news is that Kate Bosworth is in talks to play Lois Lane, and Kevin Spacey is set to play Lex Luthor in Bryan Singer's Superman, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The comic book movie would reunite the two actors, who currently appear in Spacey's Beyond the Sea as Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin.

The casting of Bosworth was a long process that ultimately rested on a chemistry test between the actress and Brandon Routh, who is playing Superman, sources said. Bosworth reportedly beat out the likes of Claire Danes, Linda Cardellini and Michelle Monaghan.

Sources said Singer wanted Spacey early on but that the Oscar-winning actor's commitment to London's Old Vic Theatre, where he is artistic director, caused scheduling snafus on the road to making a deal.
