With the illegal alien protests being held in Downtown LA the same day, we were delayed a bit in traffic. But once we got there we were treated to a sneak peek of the Superman Returns' trailer that will debut today. Due to looping, this may or may not be in the correct chronological order but here's some of what we saw! Without giving too much away you will see Superman in action including him trying to save a large 757 type airplane. We see him grab the plane with the wings breaking off. He confronts one of Lex Luthor's henchman as the henchman is using a high powered machine gun and just blasting Superman. Lois tells Luthor that millions of people are going to die and Lex corrects her by telling her "billions are going to die." This is by far the best trailer of the year.

So after waiting about an hour Brandon and Kate showed up, myself and our colleagues from IGN, SHH! and About.Com spoke to young actors about the upcoming blockbuster.

Q: What was it like putting on the Superman costume for the first time?

Routh: I hadn't worked out for the film yet and I kinda would have liked to have done it alone in my own room.

Q: How many people were there?

Routh: About 10 people watching and taking notes. It was a bit nerve wracking.

Q: Did you work out?

Routh: After that, yes! The first two to three months I was working out about 2 ½ to 3 hours a day lifting weights and doing yoga. That was the bulk of it. Eating healthy but well.

Q: What was your diet like?

Routh: A lot of vegetables and protein in moderation. Not necessarily heavy protein but just lots of vegetables and fruit and cutting out excess sugar.

Q: How was Kate to work with?

Routh: Kate was fantastic.

Q: Is she a good kisser?

Routh: I can't tell you that. (laughing) After the film you can ask me that.

Q: Have you had any weird encounters with Superman fans?

Routh: No. The coolest thing is when people have tattoos and they want me to take pictures by their shoulder which is kind of interesting.

Q: At the conventions what kinds of questions are they asking? Just mostly about taking over the character?

Routh: Yep, a lot about giving reverence to Chris and everyone who's come before and what's different about the character and what's the flying like, what's the suit like, all those general questions that everybody wants to know.

Q: How did you embody such a classic character?

Routh: It was very exciting and challenging. I learned a lot from it.

Q: Where did you draw your inspiration from?

Routh: It's how I envision the character and how I see Superman and what I want out of Superman. But also, it's everyone who's come before me. It's George, it's Kirk Allen, it's Christopher Reeve, the cartoons, the image, how society views Superman, how everybody feels about it, all of that wrapped up into my interpretation of it.

Q: Any unique takes that you put on him?

Routh: I don't know. The only thing that I can think of that sticks out to me is my approach really to Clark. He's a spy for Superman, which is kind of fun. He's just really excited about everything he does. He's not necessarily clumsy for the sake of being clumsy, but he gets really excited.

Q: What can fans expect from this film?

Routh: They can expect a lot of action and a lot of flying. There are many references to the past films and comic story lines and characters in it and other actors that have been in other things, which is really kind of neat. They'll get a kick out of that the general public won't see. There are a lot of new things to see that they won't expect, a really great story and relationships and some deep emotions, but yet they won't feel like it's a drama piece. There's a really, really scary Lex Luthor in it from Kevin [Spacey] which is fantastic.

Q: Out of all of the Superman films which one and which character do you think you're closet to?

Routh: I have to say it's probably Chris's performance because he was my Superman and so in my head that's what I see. You know, probably most in the beginning of the film when I thought about Superman flying or reading the script, in my head it was probably actually me envisioning him in a way as I was playing it back in my head.

Q: What are you working on next? Have you signed your next film?

Routh: Not yet. I have a lot of cool opportunities but you know everyone wants to see the film so I'm excited for directors and writers to see the film so they can understand the hype that's out there. The thing I'm looking for is kind of a nice comedy drama thing.

Q: How do you deal with the fans and what is their reaction to you?

Bosworth: What's great about the fans for Superman is that they're so excited and loyal and I think it brings a lot of people back to their childhood in a way. It's really a magical thing and I went to Blockbuster the other day to get some films and one of the people that worked there said, "oh I'm so excited for the movie." It's really neat to see people coming up to you and saying they're excited for the film coming out. That's really, really nice.

Q: How did you embody Lois Lane? Did you draw on other "Lois Lanes" for experience?

Bosworth: I actually purposely didn't watch, I've seen the Superman films before but I saw them a long time ago when I was a kid. I purposely didn't watch them before I made the film because I didn't want to. I could see myself watching that and sort of being nervous and comparing myself to other Lois Lanes and I couldn't deal with the pressure. Brian and I decided we wanted to start it fresh and be conscious of other performances. I didn't really watch it before then. I watched it after when we finished which was a great experience. It was in the can and there's nothing I could have changed and it was fun to watch. Margot Kidder gave such a great performance.

Q: Can you talk about your reaction to seeing yourself as a doll and what that process was like?

Bosworth: It's not the most normal experience I've ever had, but it was, to be honest, it was strange. I've never had a doll before made after me. It's very cool and really exciting. The eyes are different colors as well. They really paid attention to detail that way. It's neat to have a doll made after you and it's something I'll always have that's for sure.

Q: Of all the Superman mythology, radio, comics, tv shows and movies, what part of the Superman history inspired you to do this film?

Bosworth: Probably the films. To be honest, I really took it from the script. I took a lot of classic Lois Lane characteristics, the spunk, her feistiness, the independence, the drive, but it was all really there in the script. It was really an incredible script and working with Brian it was sorta like making... I tried to do it like any other film because if I thought about being the hugeness of this film, I think it really would have freaked me out. I sort of approached it like I would have any other character. I read the script, I thought about what she was feeling, what her past experiences may have been, where she is at now.

Q: Growing up or doing research for the movie, did you go back to the Superman comics at all?

Bosworth: I hate doing this to you because I want so badly to say that I read every single comic book but I really wasn't a huge fan. It really wasn't my thing and I was actually more into horses. I have a whole different appreciation for them now after making the film. They're really incredible pieces of art to be honest. They're fun but they are incredibly artistic.
