Well that didn't take long. Even as I wrote up my post about Superman Returns needing a new Perry White, director Bryan Singer was announcing he'd acquired one. And while it's not one of my suggestions, it's another excellent choice.

The new Perry White is stage, television and film star Frank Langella, a man who's played everyone from Sherlock Holmes to Dracula to Ebenezer Scrooge. But I always think of him as power-drunk chief of staff Bob Alexander in Dave, one of my favorite presidentially-themed films.

My inner fanboy is ever so slightly bugged by the fact that Langella is an inch and a half taller than Brandon Routh, the guy playing Superman, but I'm sure I'll get over that quickly. In fact, I think I got over it in the time it took me to type the last sentence.
