Superman CastWarner Bros is apparently sincere in their quest for a fresh face to fill the role of Superman, according to Moviehole. ?Along with their broad casting call, they have enlisted a group of unknown Aussie actors to test for the hottest leading role in the industry right now.

Among those chosen to test are Conrad Coleby (TV's "All Saints"), despite his less-than-super physique and blonde hair. ?Producers are more interested in casting the right Clark Kent and then turning him into Superman later, according to the article. ?Coleby is an Australia native. ?Moviehole's source did not name any of the other Australian actors who were reading for the part, but she indicated that there are a few.

Another actor taking a meeting with director Bryan Singer is Brandon Routh (TV's "One Life to Live"), who was rumored to be in talks for the role back when McG was still the director.

The article also said that the big name actors who have been the subject of bales of rumors are out--specifically James Caviezel, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Brendan Fraser. ?Though it didn't single out all of the 17 trillion actors who have been talked about, it was implied that the fresh-face angle is the one that will stick. ?We'll see.

"Superman: Unbelievable" is set to begin filming in Australia later this year.
