Dark Horizons and Ain't It Cool News reported more rumored details about Bryan Singer's upcoming Superman movie, including rumors that the film will use John Williams' famed musical themes from the original 1978 Superman. Dark Horizons also reported that the movie will make use of the franchise's designs for Krypton and the Fortress of Solitude.
In addition, Dark Horizon reported rumors that Kevin Spacey may be in line to play Lex Luthor, but knocked down rumors that The O.C.'s Mischa Barton was vying to play Lois Lane or that That '70s Show's Topher Grace (plays Eric Forman) would portray Jimmy Olsen.
Writer Dan Harris, meanwhile, told the Chicago Sun-Times that the movie will pick up the story from the second Superman movie, which starred the late Christopher Reeve. "We use his history and then move on with big twists and great special effects," Harris told the newspaper. "We're not going to do the origin story again. Our view is if you're over 25 years old, then you've seen the Reeve films and that's Superman to you. If you're under 25, then you watch TV's Smallville, and that's Superman to you."
