Sam Huntington in Not Another Teen Movie
Just a brief Superman
casting update for you. One of the last significant roles, the role of Jimmy
Olsen, has finally been filled by Bryan Singer.
Sam Huntington is Jimmy Olsen
The character Jimmy Olsen actually had his own comic book in Superman's
Pal: Jimmy Olsen. In the comic book, Olsen is extremely close to Superman
and does things that could get him called a little creepy or even a little
gay. During the series Olsen becomes a hippy and turns on Superman as that
is what hippies seem to do in the comics [coinsidence?]. In the end, Jimmy
Olsen stops being a hippy, but continues to cause problems for Superman.
It is said that Olsen becomes more problematic than Lex Luthor as he frequently
attempts to get Superman to reveal his identity. During periods of their
relationship, both characters want each other dead. Olsen is even said to
have sex with Superman's girlfriend.
Sounds like your standard college friend rivalry to me.
Jimmy Olsen was a strange friend to Superman
Olsen joins Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey, Hugh Laurie and
James Marsden. For more movie info, synopsis, go to the Superman
V Movie Page
