James Denton (Desperate Housewives) , Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), and Golden Globe-winner Anthony LaPaglia (Without a Trace) will each be voicing characters in the upcoming Warner Premiere/DC Comics animated film adaptation of All-Star Superman. Written by Grant Morrison and drawn by the always great Frank Quitely, All-Star is a multiple award-winning DC mini-series (three Eisners, two Harvey, and three Eagle awards) that just happens to be one of my personal favorites as well. From Heat Vision, Denton will be voicing ol’ Kal-El himself (Note: that’s Superman) with Hendricks lending her pipes to Lois Lane and LaPaglia taking on the Man of Steel’s number one foe, Lex Luthor. Also voicing characters in the film are Ed Asner as Perry White, Frances Conroy as ‘Ma Kent, as well as Linda Cardellini (ER), Arnold Vosloo (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra), and Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds).
The film is due to be released on DVD/Blu-ray in Spring 2011 with a PG-13 rating intact. Per usual, legendary artist Bruce Timm will be exec. producing the project. Finally, did I mention All-Star Superman is a personal favorite read of mine? Well, I’ll try and put it another way: if you haven’t read the 12-issue run and you have any interest whatsoever in Superman and/or great storytelling, do yourself a favor and check out All-Star Superman. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

It’s just too bad they won’t be modeling Hendricks’ character after her…
Great story, if not for the Bizarro section which had me thinking opposite for hours after.
Haha the Bizarro arc definitely took some getting used to. Oh, those Bizarros…great people, total alcoholics.
Hendrix
is in everything now
Great news! All-Star Superman is one of my favorite comics in recent years! Man, I hope they do Batman Year One or Dark Knight Returns one day!
Good news, Bob.Per Bruce Timm at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, “Batman: Year One” is one of the next three animated films to be released (obviously with “All-Star Superman” one of the three as well).Here is the URL to Bill’s story:http://www.collider.com/2010/07/24/comic-con-batman-under-the-red-hood-panel-batman-year-one-all-star-superman//Thanks for reading!
The soon to be released Bat/Supes Apocalypse is pretty impressive and looks/feels just like the comics. I hope they pay the same respect to this storyline, even if Mr Q’s art makes everyone’s face look like a little old lady.
See Apocalypse as soon as you can.
