The 'Pearl Harbor' and 'Black Hawk Down' star has
emerged as the top contender to star in Warner Brothers'
upcoming fifth 'Superman' movie for director Brett
Ratner, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The actor shot a screen test on February 11, and sources
told the trade paper that Warner president and chief
operating officer Alan Horn, production president
Jeff Robinov and Ratner were supposed to watch the
tape February 2 in New York.
No word has come down on the outcome of the viewing,
but no other actors are expected to test for the role
until a decision is made on Hartnett, the trade paper
reported.
The trade paper added that the negotiation of a deal
and Hartnett's willingness to commit to three consecutive
films are believed to be more important than his looks
or acting ability in winning the role.
At least his vanilla twin Ben Affleck isn't being
considered.
Hartnett's next movie Hollywood Homicide also stars
Harrison Ford.
