Hollywood News


Lex Luther?
Christopher Meloni is said to be up for a role in the new Man of Steel movie. With most of the major parts being cast, including recent news of Julia Ormond cast as Supes mom, one could reasonably assume the hair deficient Meloni would be cast as the archvillain. Meloni is probably best known for his role in Law & Order: SVU. Man of Steel is being directed by 300 director, Zack Snyder, and has a target release date for December, 2012.


In other news, Peter Falk, star of TV's rumpled detective show, Columbo, has died at the age of 83. Falk was said to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease and passed away in his home in Beverly Hills, California. As a huge fan of the crime genre, Falk should be given his due with the impact he had on the inverted detective story (preceding shows like Meloni's Law and Order: SVU). His portrayal as the underestimated, overlooked policeman was in contrast to any other TV lawman before and brilliant in it's concept. Falk played it to near perfection. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
