  Search for new Superman begins
Updated 20 August 2004, 17.26
Superman
The search is on to find a new actor to play the all-action hero Superman!

Around 50 actors were invited to attend auditions in Ireland on Friday, in a bid to win the lead role in the new movie.

Film makers Warner Bros have widened their search outside the USA in the hope of finding the perfect hero.

It's thought they're looking for an unknown actor to take on the legendary character, who's famous for leaping tall buildings in a single bound.

The Superman wannabes began rehearsing their eight-page script on Thursday.

Makers plan to begin shooting the film next March.
