BRIEFLY * Fred Schruers, senior editor of Premiere Magazine, told E! News Live that he feels Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth will be successful in Superman Returns. "He's a guy who is a good match for our notion of what Superman looks like, and Kate Bosworth is quite charming," Schruers said. "I think it's got every shot feeling like it's been refreshed."
