While it seems that a Superman sequel is sadly underway, in the meantime, the new man in tights is keeping busy with other fare. Variety reports that Brandon Routh, along with a slew of others, have signed on for an upcoming ensemble comedy that Starz is putting together, called Table for Three. Along for the ride with Routh are Sophia Bush, Jesse Bradford, Jennifer Morrison, Johnny Galecki, and Liza Lapira.

Routh stars as a suddenly single dude with a bad sense of logic -- he invites a perfect couple, played by Bradford and Bush, to share his big apartment. This seems a bit strange, especially since every guy I know who has had to spend a lot of time with, or share space with, a couple has completely hated it, but I guess the thought of being face-to-face with couples is appealing to this guy's now-single self. But then he finds a new romance and things get tricky as they "disrupt his life when they insert themselves into his new romance."

Michael Samonek will direct from his own script, and the film is set to be released later this year.

The work doesn't stop, even if it is May 2-4 (don't get me started on a long weekend where the signature date isn't until next weekend...). Here are some casting scoops from Variety:

Jenna Jameson. She's already been labeled The Queen of Porn, having appeared in over one hundred adult movies, and now, slowly, she's been inching her way into mainstream cinema. She had a role in Private Parts; more recently, she was a zombie stripper. Now, she's got herself a starring gig in War of the Dragon. From writer/producer/director Stan Derain, the film is about "a psychic and a martial arts expert who team to find the killers of their mothers." There's no word on who she'll play. Could it be a mom? That might kill her porn cred a little. Meanwhile, I wonder how she's doing with that biopic of hers since Scarlett gave her a big fat no?

In other news, Liza Lapira, who has been on a slew of television shows from Monk to Law & Order, plus big-screen gigs like Cloverfield and the upcoming Repossession Mambo, has picked up a role in the latest Fast sequel, The Fast and the Furious 4 -- aka -- Fast and Furious. She'll play FBI Agent Sophie Trinh, who, according to this link, is a friend of Brian's who helps him find James Park.

Here's the first round of casting bites for the weekend, all courtesy of Variety:

• The name Don Wallace might not be on the tip of tongues yet, even though he's got a lot of flicks under his belt from bit parts in Die Hard: With a Vengeance to larger parts in films like Fighting Tommy Riley. However, that might change with Blue, a new indie film that he wrote and is acting in. The feature, which is now shooting in New York City, stars Keith David and looks to be some sort of fighting movie. There's no synopsis floating around, but there are two catch-phrases -- "Fight or Die" and "Redemption at any cost." So basically, it sounds like your typical fight movie.
• Ashley Edner, meanwhile, is getting herself some pretty high-profile gigs. After acting in a slew of TV shows, voicing roles in flicks like Monsters, Inc., and popping up in House of Sand and Fog, she's grabbed herself a supporting role and lead role. She's starring in The Science of Cool, but she's also got a part in Foreign Exchange -- a gig that will have her on the same screen with the epic actor likes of Clint Howard and Curtis Armstrong. The movie is about some high school friends who have a set plan for their senior year, one that includes housing foreign exchange students. However, each is challenged with bumps in the road to college.
• Finally Liza Lapira is the next bit of talent to join the cast of Repossession Mambo -- the genetic repossession film that does not have song and dance. If you remember, the film stars Forest Whitaker and Jude Law. Liza's role in this affair -- she is the "hip anesthesiologist." She must be pretty hip if it's worthy a place in her role title. I wonder what makes her hip? Does she have syringes with pretty colors that she calls her friends? Can she kick zombie butt with a broken hand?
