Super New Trailer for Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL
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.
Teaser Trailers for Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL
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.

Book Review: The True Adventures of the World’s Greatest Stuntman (Updated and Expanded Edition)
“No CGI can match what Vic can accomplish.” –Steven Spielberg
That quote is from the introduction to The True Adventures of the World’s Greatest Stuntman. Spielberg is talking about Vic Armstrong, and trust me when I say you DO know him. He’s been stunt doubles for James Bond, Superman and Indiana Jones. He’s directed action scene in Bond movies, Mission Impossible 3 and the recent Thor blockbuster. You can see his work this summer in The Amazing Spider-Man too! This is a great look at the industry; Vic Armstrong’s memories are page turners.
He’s been part of the business for over 40 years and in that time played the most iconic on screen heroes. Harrison Ford joked (image above), “If you learn to talk I’m in deep trouble.” That says it all about his ability don’t you think? He’s got a lot of amazing stories to tell you, and they’re all here in this newly updated version of the successful memoir from released last year.
“Vic Armstrong is, of course, a legend in the film world.” –Martin Scorsese
One of the coolest credits on his long list (far too long to put here) is “Unicorn Master” on Ridley Scott’s Legend. Can I get that business card? This memoir spans his career from his horse riding beginnings to one of the industry’s most sought-after action coordinators.
One of my favorite stories in the book concerns his work on Richard Donner’s Superman. Vic explains how he and Christopher Reeve would clash on the set because Reeve wanted to do his own stunts. Reeve’s was a professional and very involved in his character, he wanted to do it all understandably says Vic. One night they were filming some shots for Superman II, it was the scene in Metropolis with a few alien baddies and Superman getting a manhole cover thrown at him which tosses him back into a car window. Yes, Reeve’s wanted to do this. [watch the scene here]
I went into the dressing room to get my kiss curl put on when Chris walked by and stopped in the doorway. ‘What are you doing?’ he asked. I told him about the stunt. ‘No, I’m doing it’ he said. ‘Chris you can do whatever you want, but don’t stop me from earning a living’, I replied. Off he went in a huff.
He explains the stunt in detail and the rest of the night, he got “beaten up like hell” he says.
After getting changed I was leaving for home and Chris Reeve, bless him, came over, gave me a thumbs-up and said ‘Jeeze, Vic, you’re right, I’m glad I wasn’t doing that mate. Thanks a million.’
He’s a master of the craft and has some very big names making these claims for him if you’re still unsure. He jumped from a horse to a tank for Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg, off a helicopter onto a mountain peak and lives to tell the tales. This book is fun and easy to read, it’s written with passion and most noticeably from the perspective a fan of movies, one of the many reasons I couldn’t put it down.

The Official Synopsis for Zack Snyder’s ‘Man of Steel’
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.
First Look at Henry Cavill as Superman
Warner Bros. has released the first official image of actor Henry Cavill as Superman in the Man of Steel reboot [see all of our Superman news]. Why they released it almost two years before the film is out is a little confusing to me. This looks like a promo picture and won’t be the real deal when it comes time for it. The cape for starters is very big, like look at that thing, massive. We have the raised “S” chest symbol and the texture of the costume is looks like what we have for the new Spider-Man costume. It looks like rubber, not that there is anything wrong with that.
I’m still excited for this movie and must say that as much as I support Brandon Routh and what he did with Superman, Cavill was a great choice too even if he does use his powers to rob banks apparently.
Warner Bros today released a first photo of British actor Henry Cavill as Superman in Man of Steel, the franchise reboot that’s being directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan. Cavill stars with Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Julia Ormond, Russell Crowe, Chris Meloni, Harry Lennix and Laurence Fishburne. Currently in production, Man of Steel is slated for release on June 14, 2013.
