I keep hearing and reading it everywhere: Kate as LL is no good.
Who do you think could pull it off?
I read on another forum: Courtney Cox. Not too bad if she wasn't that known and so typecasted as Monica. But I think she'd do a good job.

I think she's too old to play against Brandon Routh.
I think KateBeckinsale would be okay, but she's known for Underworld, where she's the heroine, so I ain't sure.
But I think Kate Bosworth did a good job. It wasn't Margot Kidder or Teri Hatcher but it was quite good. I'd be happy to see her in the sequel, and I don't think they'd cast someone else.

I still think Kate Bosworth was one of the closest looking Lois' to the Shuster Lois we've seen in a very long time. This is just one more of the many interesting oddities of the movie. Superman obviously means a ton of things to a ton of different people - and with so many different flavors of Superman out there, the movie is probably the one place where it all came to a head.

She looks like Lois.
She doesn't sound like Lois.
Of course, if Lois improbably had a kid by someone else, she probably wouldn't sound much like the Lois I expect.

I had no problems with Kate as Lois.
Then again, that's a bar that was never set very high, anyway...

I think she's a dead ringer for the Fleischer/Shuster Lois and great job of casting.  |

I don't have a real suggestion for an actress to play Lois Lane (though Courtney Cox is quite a fun idea), but I am delighted to take this opportunity to express how much I loathed Kate Bosworth's performance. MOONS OF KRYPTON, SHE STUNK ON ICE. SHE CAN'T ACT. SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE LOIS LANE. SHE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE LOIS LANE. SHE DOESN'T SMELL LIKE LOIS LANE. THE CHARACTER WAS BADLY WRITTEN (okay, not her fault).

I just saw Superman Returns for a second time last night (finally!) and I still feel that she was a great casting choice for the role. Remember, this is a Lois who has been through changes and is not quite in the same place as she was in the past...a Lois that we are more accustomed to seeing.
An interesting aside...in the Superman Returns novelization by Marv Wolfman (which I've almost finished reading), there is an interesting moment in the scene where Luthor is about to explain his diabolical plan to Lois & Jason...the part that begins with, "What do you know about crystals?"
Exerpt from the book:
When she looked up again, he was holding the white crystal he had stolen from the Fortress of Solitude.
"Miss Lane, this crystal may seem unremarkable, but so is the seed of a redwood tree." Lois thought she recognized it, that she had seen it before, but the memory was vague, like from a dream.
It seems that her subconscious memory tried to pierce the veil placed upon her by Superman's Super-Whammy-Kiss in Superman II, but to no avail.
