Is this Lois Lane?

The usually at least somewhat reliable fan page Superman-V.com is reporting that Kate Bosworth (currently being seen in Beyond the Sea), has won the role of Lois Lane in Bryan Singer's upcoming Superman movie. Here's a look at her (c/o KateBosworthWeb.com):

The only thing I've seen her in so far is The Rules of Attraction, and that wasn't the most in-depth of roles (although I do remember her looking good), and she's definitely a bit on the young side at just 22. Still, while she's not my first choice, I won't be offended if this turns out to be true. It's still much better casting than Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane, or Kristin Kreuk as Lana Lang (sorry, but although I've come to live with it, even after all this time, I still think she was miscast).

Also mentioned on Superman-V is that Shawn Ashmore (that's Iceman in X-Men/X2), has been cast as Jimmy Olsen. Again, not bad at all, although it would be odd to see a Jimmy Olsen who's actually older than Lois Lane (I would assume the actors would be playing younger and older respectively).
