A recent interview with Brandon Routh talks about the actors opinion of his likeness in the new EA Superman video game…
Routh said, being a videogame fan, he enjoys playing all of the systems. He loves Gears of War on Xbox 360 and Ridge Racer 7 on PlayStation 3. He also tested out Sony’s new Blu-Ray Disc format, watching the pack-in movie, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
“It looks great and I’m excited to get Superman Returns on Blu-Ray” said Routh. “It’s beautiful to see a film in that format. It’s like watching it at the theater. It’s exciting to have that and it’s good for film and it’s good for everybody that’s into technology and gaming. It allows films to be viewed the way they were intended to be viewed.”
