Amy Adams is Lois Lane in Zack Synder's new Superman film!
Here's part of the article:
Superman News: Amy Adams will be Lois Lane
EXCLUSIVE
This just in — three-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams will play journalist Lois Lane in Hollywood’s revival of “Superman.”
The 36-year-old star got the news on Sunday from director Zack Snyder, who phoned her from Paris, where he was promoting his just-opened film, “Sucker Punch.” There had been a crush of Hollywood interest in the lead female role in the Warner Bros. project but Snyder said that after meeting with Adams, she was the clear choice to take on a character that dates back to 1938 and has long represented the strong, professional woman who can hold her own against any man – even if he can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
“There was a big, giant search for Lois,” Snyder said. “For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”
Snyder declined to discuss the precise prominence of Lois in the story or any plot details about the film but he said the role is “a linchpin” to the project and that he considers it essential that Lois — an FDR-era creation – arrives on screen in 2012 with contemporary appeal and spirit. “It goes back to what I’ve said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What’s important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today’s audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him [in tone and substance].” Read full article.

What do you all think of Amy Adams' casting as Lois Lane in the new Superman film
I thought this was a big surprise!
I didn't expect her to be cast as Lois as I was hoping for Rachel McAdams (she's my top choice on my wish list for Lois Lane...) for Lois Lane 
...Oh well, I guess Amy (without the "Mc") Adams is good too! She's a terrific actress (and a versatile one too like Diane Lane) & one of my favorite actresses. I've seen a lot of her films and she was mostly pretty good. I especially loved her in Enchanted (interestingly with SR's James Marsden/Richard White), Sunshine Cleaning, and A Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian to name a few. I'm sure she'll be great as Lois. Can't wait to see her in her "Lois" role and a pic of her as Lois as well as pic of her and Henry Cavill as Lois & Clark.
