Very surprising. The obvious gut-reaction is, "Wait, she's a redhead! Don't they mean Lana Lang?" Nope. Plus Amy Adams is several years older than Henry Cavill. The most important thing is Adams is a very talented Oscar-nominated actress. In fact, Amy Adams has more Oscar nominations and acting awards than every other actor who has played Lois Lane combined. All very interesting.

She can do the plucky reporter thing, and she's cute but not ridcuously supermodel hot. Lois is more about personality than looks probably more than any other female lead in a superhero movie.
I stand by Orquiola's thought that Erica Durance and Tom Welling should've just been "promoted" to playing grown-up Lois and Clark for the new Superman movie. Nothing against Amy Adams, obviously...she's a damn sight better fit for the role than Kate Bosworth. The age gap between she and Cavill, however, makes me realize that she's about the same age as the ideal Superman, Jon Hamm.

No. I think they are both fine actors, but the stink of Smallville needs to stay far away if this has a chance of being good.

Too late. Check out who plays Jodi Meville in the Smallville season one episode "Craving"
