A Lois Lane Spin-Off Flick?
Filed under: Action, Warner Brothers, RumorMonger, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
While all of us here in Movie News Land speculate as to whether or not there will be another Superman flick, Kate Bosworth is quietly telling Neil Sean over at Sky News that there's a lot more Lois Lane heading our way. So far we know director Bryan Singer definitely wants a sequel, with financing partners Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures slowly starting to favor another installment as well. Superman himself (Brandon Routh) has nothing better to do with his time and has repeatedly stated that if they wanted to do another one, he's game.
Well, now Kate Bosworth is promoting her return to the role of Lois Lane. Not only that, but she's talking spin-off too. Says Bosworth, "Lois will be back bigger and better in the next movie, and with more of her own storyline." The article goes on to reveal there are plans to give Lois her own "investigative spin off." Okay, not for nothing, but what good is a Lois Lane flick without Superman? Wow, let's watch as she rigorously tracks down a story, gets into trouble and has no one to bail her out. I simply cannot wait! Do any of you actually want a Lois Lane spin-off movie? If so, why?

This could work if it focuses on Lois Lane trying to raise a super-hero son... there's some potential there, though I agree, Lois Lane is just another reporter without Superman.
Final call - I would be surprised at a spin-off, but neither would I be all that excited.

Here is what I'm thinking. Think about it this way. They could use Lois Lane as a main character for a storyline about different super villain characters. I mean, think about it. They could use her as the main character in Metropolis, and they could use supervillains however they chose. How cool would that be?

Hey, they could totally focus a movie around Lois Lane. It could be about her personal life, her relationship with her fiancee, raising her son, investigating some really weird things happening in the city, and then dealing with an old flame coming back to town.
And they could call it "Superman Returns".

Fine- do a film about Lois Lane but get another actress. Bosworth was blah.

Possibly but without Bosworth. If it had to do with the superbaby ala Smallville and the relationship w/ Perry's kid, maybe. But it would ultimately be a chick flick unless you got Carmen Electra to play Lois and then the fanboy's would come in droves, Supes or no Supes.

No, I don't think a Lois Lane spin-off is a good idea.

A Lois Lane movie? Nah--I don't think so! Not unless they get a different--and better actress to play her. How about Evangeline Lily? They should have chosen her in the first place.
Now how about a Jimmy Olsen movie? Now THAT I would go see! LOL!

Ugh! Bosworth did such a bland job as Lois Lane! Why would they do that to fans again?
If you want to see a fantastic portrayal of Lois Lane, toon in to Erica Durance on Smallville! She is a magnificent Lois Lane!

I hope they don't make another Superman much less a spin-off!
