Super New Trailer for Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012

superman

Here is a new trailer that Warner Bros. has released for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as Superman.  It’s not your typical superhero action based movie trailer that’s for sure; it asks what would you think if Superman really existed?

The tone feels somber and mournful much like the marketing for Superman Returns, which was actually an OK film.  Will the Last Son of Krypton finally have a great movie is the question.

We also get a look at Amy Adama as Lois Lane, the great Michael Shannon as Zod, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, and Diane Lane as  Martha Kent.

Man of Steel opens on June 14, 2013.

Man-of-Steel-Superman

Some of you may have seen the teaser for Man of Steel this weekend attached to The Dark Knight Rises, it was pretty great I must say.  A true teaser trailer, and it’s always good to hear the amazing LOTR soundtrack again.

There are two teasers, basically the same but with one narrated by Kevin Costner (Jonathan Kent) and the other (my favorite of the two) by Russell Crowe (Jor-El).  Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel hits theaters June 14 2013.

The film is from director Zack Snyder and producers Charles Roven, Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas and Deborah Snyder. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer from a story by Goyer & Nolan.

The Official Synopsis for Zack Snyder’s ‘Man of Steel’

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

The official synopsis for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel has arrived online via ComicBookMovie, it is expected the film will follow Superman’s origins as Clark Kent decides to become Superman but some folks will need more than that to stay awake during an action movie.  We reported that Michael Shannon will star in the role of General Zod, so ass will be kicked.  So let’s get to the plot:

In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.

The Man of Steel arrives June 14, 2013.

The Man of Steel Won’t Fly Until 2013

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Warner Bros has changed the planned December 2012 release date for Man of Steel, the next reboot of Superman to a June 14, 2013 release. The Zack Snyder-directed reboot has had some big casting news [see our coverage] and I thought a December release would have been nice for Superman, it’s not to be.

Deadline reports that Warner Bros has spent a fortune defending its Superman rights, some say up to $25M in legal fees, but right now it looks like there will be a splitting of rights between the creator estates and DC Comics.

Speaking of heroes, I was looking at some dates for next year and it looks like The Amazing Spider-Man comes out July 3rd and The Dark Knight Rises follows 2 weeks later on June 20th.  It’s going to be a very big summer.

Casting News: Emma Watson, Rhys Ifans, Kevin Costner and More

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

emma-watson Guillermo del Toro has is working on a film production for a live action version of Beauty and the Beast, and Harry Potter star Emma Watson is lined up to star.  This is a fitting project for Del Toro, but I can’t help remember the “modern” take on the story from earlier this year, Beastly.  It wasn’t good was it? [coming soon]

According to The Telegraph director Sam Medes has cast Rhys Ifans in Bond 23, which is finally happening and scheduled to start shooting next month.
Ifans is also playing The Lizard in the new Amazing Spider-Man film currently in production.

Variety is reporting Edward Norton is in negotiations to play the villain in The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner. The film is being directed by Tony Gilroy and also has Rachel Weisz attached to star.  Not a lot of details about this Matt Damon-less Bourne movie at this time so stay tuned.

Quentin Tarantino is in negotiations to cast Kevin Costner in his next film Django Unchained. The Cast so far includes Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio.  Costner will play a character named Ace Woody, “the sadistic trainer of the male fighting slaves who entertain the white patrons of Candyland as well as the female slaves who are forced to be prostitutes. The club and ranch are owned by Calvin Candie (DiCaprio) and Ace Woody is the one who pits the “mandingo” fighters against one another, and has little qualms about mistreating and even killing the slaves who don’t measure up.” [deadline]

Costner will take the role after playing Pa Kent in the Superman reboot Man Of Steel [see].
