Superman - Man of Steel news

Awesome, I'm there!! :)

Don't forget about us when you make it big in extraing! ^_^

Ha, I doubt that would happen. I do have a friend though who has been an extra in a few movies. He said it was the most boring, yet easiest work ever. Basically they sat around the set all day until they were needed for a scene.

So they put out a casting call for extras, yet they still don't have a director? That's not a good sign.

Wow... I was surprised to see this thread is still here. Anyways. The Tudor's Henry Cavill has been reportadly cast as Clark Kent/Superman! Now generally they go for uknowns to play the big guy so this is a bit of a switch. Maybe he's an uknown to those who've never seen the Tudors or any of the other films/tv shows he's been in in the last decade? *lol* Oh well. Henry's a good actor and he's got the right looks and acting chops to play Supes. Should be fun.

The film is to be directed by Zack Snyder.

awesome! Looking forward to a new Superman movie

Looks good to me. Def looking forward to it.

Boooooooo, this sucks.

Slow-mo Snyder is directing and I'm not feeling this guy for the title role... Looks like Superman's never gonna good modern movie.

snyder is perfect to direct the slo-mo scenes in superman :P

So are they gonna give him a shave and haircut, or is he gonna look like that?

The most cliche complaint ever award goes to....

I like it. Shave,haircut and maybe a hours in the gym and the dude could easily pass for Superman.

I'll admit I might be jumping the gun on the casting choice, I am grateful that they went with a relative unknown though.

But I really don't think the selection of the director will be redeemed.

Isn't the guy a bit small to play Superman?

And aren't you a bit short to be a Storm Trooper?

Hmm.... so Man of Steel is coming out December 2012?? So this will be the last thing everyone sees before the end of the world? :P

You mean you guys never heard the theory that Superman is akin to jesus.?

Or was that John Lennon?...

*OBLIGATORY DISCLAMER---I in no way meant any offense with my last post to anyone, be they active supermen or guys named jesus.

god I hate this PC world.

John Lennon, Jesus, I've heard it both ways.

holy crap! that image looks awesome!

This is the first bit of news about this film that gives me any desire to see it.

So has anyone seen the mass amount of bitching elsewhere on the internet about this guy being British as opposed to American?

Crazy stuff.

Yeah. It's stupid. Nobody's complained over Andrew Garfield or Christian Bale. I mean so what. The top 3 heroes are now played by Brits (well Christian Bale is Welsh but still). Big woop. American heroes are played by brits and British characters (Uh helloo people...Sherlock Holmes..) are played by Americans. It's called ACTING. :P Sides Henry Cavill doesn't have a noticable accent in the first place. At least he didn't in The Tudors.

Your posts are an infinite source of hilarity.

Check out the screentests Christopher Reeves did for the original Superman. The dude was way scrawny. Plus, Christian Bale played an anorexic dude in The Machinist before he did Batman Begins, and he got huge for that. So I have faith that the dude will get to the right size for Supes.


And if anything happens in the world of Hollywood news, you can be sure that Raph's Girl will be there to report it! :trazz: I <3 Raph's Girl

Rumor has it that Zod and Ursa will be the baddies, but Snyder's denying it.

This would be... not so good. I actually really like Superman II so I feel no need to see them on the big screen considering we still haven't seen a good Lex Luthor, Doomsday, Brainiac, Parasite or Metallo yet.

Nooooo Zod please. Zod is my least favorite villain of his entire rogue gallery(and thats saying alot). Its always the same plot with him, trying to turn Earth into New Krypton. On top of that, time for some fresh villains we havent seen.

Personally I wouldnt mind seeing the first movie being Braniac and Lex, the second being Doomsday(where he dies) and the third being... iuno.. I guess Bizarro would work. Having everyone think that Superman is dead just for this new more ruthless Superman show up might be an interesting plot. I think they'd have to exchange his stupidity for menacing for it to translate well on film but it could work.

But Lex should be in each film, even if its just a background presence. He's too much a part of who Superman is. Its not the same when comparing Joker to Batman. I was going somewhere with this but its 9:42am and I think i should get some sleep lol.

Diane Lane has been cast as Martha Kent (Lane...haha er uh). Rumours are still going about that Kevin Costner will be Jonathan.

Aaaand it's official. Kevin Costner is now Jonathan Kent in Man of Steel.

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Kevin-Co...n-1030858.aspx

Well... at least he has a history with midwest cornfields.

Clark: "Yeah and when I was a kid my pa built a baseball field on our farm cuz he kept on hearing voices...."
Lois: "......"

Clark: "And then they found me in a spaceship wrapped in a red cape!"
Lois: "Remind me again... it's kryptonite that kills Superman, right?"

And Superman now has his Lois Lane! Oddly in a former Smallville freak of the week!

Amy Adams, who many of us saw in the first season of Smallville in the 7th ep as a meteor freak who was kinda vampire-ish, has been cast as Lois Lane! Now I liked Amy in Enchanted, Julie and Julia, and Charlie Wilson's War. Only problem I have with this casting is she's a red head. Will she still be a red head or will she have to change her hair colour? Either way the next film we'll see her in is The Muppets.

Amy Adams?!?

It's funny, after seeing National Treasure 2, I thought she'd be perfect for a live-action April O'Neil. And now she's been cast as the original danger-prone reporter. lol

F*** yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thyper::thyper::thyper:

Michael Shannon, who is currently in Boardwalk Empire as Prohibition agent Alden, has been cast as Zod. Uh... "Kneel before no more alcahol!! Now I must whip myself after staring all stalkerish at pictures of Lois!" :P

Awesome. Michael Shannon is one of the best actors working today. This is the first bit of news from the film that makes me think i may end up giving it a rental afterall.

Ooh, yay! Another Zod movie! -_-

:( Where's Brainiac? Or Parasite? Or Metallo?

Yeah.....two.

What a high number. Two.

I'll take anything that isn't Luthor.
