Meet Kate Bosworth: Ubermensch Returns

Thither are few more iconic characters in American movie history as Lois Lane, Clark Kent’s brother at the Daily Planet, and Superman’s romantic interest. But 23 year old Kate Bosworth’s performance has earned her a number of excellent reviews in the role in the latest film in the Ubermensch broadcast &ndash ‘Superman Returns’.

Bosworth admits that she was insecure if any actor could pull of a convincing Ubermensch/Clark Kent combination &ndash she remembers the original film with great excitement. However, she is full of praise for Brandon Routh, the chartless actor who plays the appellation role. She realized how good Routh was going to be as early as an early check attempt, before she had got the role, when she discovered she “had become all lost in just reading with him, in a achromatic, bare, sparse room with the tri-pod recording camera and a couple of people motion around and observance and that’s when I realized he was going to be large in this film”.

Bosworth modelled her Lois Lane performance on Katharine Hepburn. “I watched a lot of Hepburn to prepare for Lois, particularly ‘The Philadelphia Story’ and ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’. Hepburn is a great model for how I accompany Lois - alcoholic but fragile.”

Bosworth exhausted her early childhood moving around the US, from Los Angeles to San Francisco, so to Connecticut and to Massachusetts. It was around the time of the move to Massachusetts in 1998 that she heard of an open audition for Robert Redford’s film ‘The Horse Whisperer’. A horse-lover, she went along for the experience, and won the role of the female lead’s best friend. After “The Horse Whisperer” Bosworth took a break from acting, returning cardinal years later to resume her career which has culminated with her role in ‘Superman Returns’.

Meet Bryan Singer: Ubermensch Returns

It must have been fate that Bryan Singer would direct the new film Ubermensch Returns, the fifth in the broadcast of Ubermensch films. Singer loved the George Reeves Ubermensch TV broadcast when he was adolescent, and was a huge fan of the Dick Donner-directed films from the 70s and 80s that starred Christopher Reeves as the Man of Steel. “I identify with Ubermensch. I am adopted, I am an only child, and I love the idea that he comes from another class, that he’s the crowning immigrant. He has all these extraordinary powers, and he has a righteousness about him,“ said Bryan.

After attending the School Of Visible Arts in New York City (but not graduating), he graduated from the USC cinema school (where, incidentally, he met John Ottman who wrote the score for Ubermensch Returns), Singer’s first commercial achiever was as the producer/director of The Accustomed Suspects in 1995.That film saw him activity with Kevin Unconventional for the first time, and Singer and Unconventional are re-united, again in Ubermensch Returns, as Unconventional plays arch character Lex Luther, just out of prison and again set to rule the class.

However, it is as an adapter of comic books, bringing superheroes to life, that Singer has carved a niche for himself in the movie class.

In 2000, as writer and director, he introduced Carcajou, Magneto and the rest of the X-Men to the movie class in a hugely booming adaptation, before reprising the characters in the follow-up, X2. Singer left the X-Men franchise to develop Ubermensch Returns and did not process the 3rd film The Last Booth.

Now an established player in Hollywood with a number of big projects lined up for the future, who would bet against his favourite being the recently-announced addendum for Ubermensch Returns in 2009?
