Splashy bash for the return of "Superman Returns"
The event was lavish, with guests entering into a Krypton themed room with an ice bar shaped like Kryptonian crystals, a mannequin displaying the Superman outfit from the film, videogames old and new, a slinky trapeze artist and, of course, jugglers and mimes — because nothing says Superman like jugglers and mimes.
VIP guests and press wearing cool lenticular badges milled about in larger back rooms, which featured Xbox 360 consoles and HD monitors where attendees could play the game. While I can’t navigate games as well as comics and movies, stopping meteors from crashing into Metropolis and putting the smackdown on Mongul and his minions was a lot of fun. The game looks fantastic, too.
Another HD monitor showed off the high-def version of the film, which also looked fantastic. Costumes from the film, including the formal gown worn by Kate Bosworth and Brandon Routh’s Clark Kent costume, were on display as well for partygoers to look at as they munched on Kobe beef sliders, hot dogs, quesadillas, fries and onion rings.
Bryan Singer showed up briefly for the party, posing for pictures with young Tristan Lake Leabu, who played Jason White in the film, before playing the videogame with him for the cameras to catch.
The VIP area upstairs saw press hanging with Routh, Singer and actors from the long history of Superman films such as Noel Neill, who played Lois Lane in the 1950s TV series; Marc McClure, Jimmy Olsen from the 1980s films; and Sam Huntington, who played Olsen in “Superman Returns.”
Routh, who has slimmed down from his peak Superman physique, says he’s looking forward to Singer’s plans for the sequel. “He has talked about there being some more fighting, that sort of thing,” he says. “We’ll also see the relationship continue to evolve with Lois.”
While he’s not a comicbook reader, Routh says he was a big fan of the Christopher Reeve films.
He’s currently looking for other projects and expects to have something to work on in the new year. A short film he starred in, “Denial,” will be available soon for download on iTunes. “It shows me in a different light,” he says.
Oddly for a launch party, there were no actual copies to be seen anywhere of the DVD or videogame – meaning guests will have to line up with everyone else to get their copies when they go on sale Nov. 28.

Actually the subject also is. I have a question:
Why you delete my posts about [url=http://d0sug.pp.ru/forum/]dosug[/url] ???
Probably the indignant statements in occasion of rules of a forum, and where free dialogue now will begin??
