Slashdot today reports on word that Brandon Routh’s package is too large for the producers of Superman Returns, who’ve allegedly ordered the makers […] to cover it up with digital effects.
Not to worry, though, viewers this summer will see all, as it’s apparently just a rumor. Dark Horizons did some digging into this breaking story:
Speaking with the costume designers earlier this year, they told us that whilst the bulge indeed was the most complicated issue in terms of the costuming, they worked out a practical solution involving a codpiece and special padding which ultimately negates the issue.
In other Superman Returns news, I finally figured out why I didn’t like the initial promo photos of Routh in costume: he parts his hair on the wrong side.
Anyway, there’s a teaser trailer for the film out. If you haven’t seen it, it really does look good. Paint me excited.
