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.

Trailers

THE NEXT THREE DAYSPaul Haggis returns to perhaps divide people once again (I for one liked Crash) with a remake of the 2008 French film Pour Elle (Anything For Her).  The trailer started off strong, and then got very over top for my taste.  When movies start throwing in semi-trucks for a climax I tend to get bored.

Synopsis: Life seems perfect for John Brennan (Russell Crowe) until his wife, Lara (Elizabeth Banks), is arrested for a gruesome murder she says she didn’t commit. Three years into her sentence, John is struggling to hold his family together, raising their son and teaching at college while he pursues every means available to prove her innocence.  John decides there is only one possible, bearable solution: to break his wife out of prison.  Opens November 19th 2010.

While winter is starting to wind down for many, Olympic hockey is heating up in Vancouver, BC as the quarterfinals are upon us. It seemed like as good of time as any to run through some of the highs and lows of hockey films. So without further adieu, let’s hit the ice and take a look at the good, the bad, and the toothless.
