And Then There Was One: Alice Eve For Superman?

It wasn't even a week ago that The Trades reported three contenders for a role in the Superman reboot; Alice Eve, Diane Kruger and Rosamund Pike. The Trades were very clear that the role these actresses were up for was not Lois Lane. Cue mass panic across forums and websites, "WTF!? Loiz Lanes not in teh Supermanz?!" Rumors were abound as to what character these blonde bombshells from across the pond would be playing. We heard every character from Cat Grant to Lana Lang. That was until Latino Review followed the story up with news that the role was actually for the curvaceous Kryptonian Ursa. What's up "Superman 2"? Long time no see.

Now The Trades are reporting that Diane Kruger is penciled in to start in the French Revolution drama, "Les Adieux a la reine". Kruger is in line to play Marie Antoinette in the feature length drama about the French Revolution. The flick is based of a novel and "is told from the point of Marie Antoinette's reader", whatever the hell that means. Did I mention Gerard Depardieu is in this flick? Yes, that just happened. So this move looks like it leaves Diane Kruger out of the running for Superman, which I she flat out denied her involvement in anyway.

On top of the Kruger news, TOLDJA! is reporting that Rosamund Pike is indeed going to start in a blockbuster Warner Bros movie, but no, it isn't Superman. Pike will be inserted into the role of Andromeda in the sequel to "Clash Of The Titans". Doesn't look like she'll be sharing the screen with Henry Cavill instead she will opt for screen time with one Sam Worthington. The funny thing is she will actually be replacing Alexa Davlos who played the role of Andromeda in "Clash Of The Titans". So it looks like there is only one actress left?

The buxom Alice Eve looks like she is still available for a role in Superman. Whether it is Ursa or not remains to be seen. If you want to go on looks alone, I am seeing Cat Grant or to a lesser degree Lana Lang. To me it sounds like Kruger and Pike just found out they didn't land the role and moved on to their back up plans. In Pike's case WB instead offered her the "Clash of the Titans" sequel. This could mean that Eve has indeed landed the role, or it has gone to another actress yet to be named. Either that or none of these actresses were involved in the first place. Eve as Cat Grant or Ursa? Lohan as Lana Lang? Biel as Lois Lane? Weeding through all these rumors should be a job for Superman.
