Amy Adams: Nerdage’s #25 actress with geek appeal
The three-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams was selected by Zack Snyder to play Lois Lane in his upcoming reboot of the Superman films, titled “Man of Steel.”
While Adams’ selection may have surprised some, she’s certainly got a successful resume – in addition to the Oscar nominations for “Junebug,” “Doubt” and “The Fighter,” Adams has appeared in crowd-pleasers like “Enchanted” and “Julia and Julia.” In addition to her 2012 duties with “Man of Steel,” she’ll appear in “The Muppets” later this year.
David O. Russell, who directed Adams in “The Fighter,” said the actress has a mix of toughness and sensitivity.
“Amy’s very fierce,” he said. “… but Amy also brings a great deal of emotion in her eyes, so you have that great cocktail that I find so interesting, of the two.”
