Man of Steel sequel to feature Batman (and others) (2016)


Recommended Posts

It seems like the 3 movie deal is what everyone signs in the superhero movies nowadays. Also the $300,000 leads me to believe that her scenes are going to be small overall.

For the last two $300k could be a place holder since they will be Justice League and a full Wonder Woman feature,

BTW, one of the BvS locations will be the stainless steel & glass Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University. 46,000 sq/ft (4,300 m2) of exhibition space, but much more total. Very Escher-esq inside.

Whatcha think, STAR Labs or Hall of Justice?

I"m going to guess  that building will be STAR Labs, too soon for a Hall of Justice IMO.

"I just know good source Ben Affleck will not be Batman. Fan reaction was too strong. Official announcement in a few months."

Where does this BS actually come from!

Jonah Hill made the SAG minimum of $60,000 on the Wolf of Wallstreet; so money shouldn't be an indicator of how much screen time she'll get. But I hope it is small. This should be about Superman.

Ben Affleck Reportedly Summoned To Work On Batman Vs. Superman Right Away

 

Last Friday, Warner Bros. announced that the release date of Batman Vs. Superman was being pushed back following the shift of the start of production on the film to second quarter of this year. Rumors swirled around the Internet that the production delay was due to Ben Affleck having either a leg injury or a rib injury. However, after a healthy-looking Affleck made some awards show appearances, those rumors seem to die down.

Now, Deadline is reporting that filming on Batman Vs. Superman isn?t being delayed at all. According to their sources, ?word is that production is not being delayed and the main players have been summoned to start work right away.? In fact, the site is reporting that Affleck had to pull out of directing The Middle Man pilot because of the start of production of Batman Vs. Superman.

So yeah, no idea where the news that Afleck is dropping out comes from :/

Jesse Eisenberg As Lex Luthor & Jeremy Irons As Alfred

 

BURBANK, CA, January 31, 2014 ? Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Jesse Eisenberg has been set to star as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons will play Alfred in the upcoming Zack Snyder untitled Superman/Batman film. The dual announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

 

Snyder stated, ?Lex Luthor is often considered the most notorious of Superman?s rivals, his unsavory reputation preceding him since 1940. What?s great about Lex is that he exists beyond the confines of the stereotypical nefarious villain. He?s a complicated and sophisticated character whose intellect, wealth and prominence position him as one of the few mortals able to challenge the incredible might of Superman. Having Jesse in the role allows us to explore that interesting dynamic, and also take the character in some new and unexpected directions.?

 

The director added, ?As everyone knows, Alfred is Bruce Wayne?s most trusted friend, ally and mentor, a noble guardian and father figure. He is an absolutely critical element in the intricate infrastructure that allows Bruce Wayne to transform himself into Batman. It is an honor to have such an amazingly seasoned and gifted actor as Jeremy taking on the important role of the man who mentors and guides the guarded and nearly impervious fa?ade that encapsulates Bruce Wayne.?

 

Snyder?s film stars Henry Cavill, reprising his role as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. The film also reunites ?Man of Steel? stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.

 

The new film is currently being written by Chris Terrio, from a screenplay by David S. Goyer. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Wesley Coller, David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.

 

The film is set to open worldwide on May 6, 2016, and is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, Batman characters created by Bob Kane, and Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment.

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor? No idea what to think of that. Jeremy Irons as Alfred made me think of the Alfred in "Batman: Earth One". Not sure what to think of Either castings. At the moment I wish it was just a rumour, lol.

"Batman: Earth One" Alfred:

They should really pull that version off.

That fits Irons well but come on...Mark Zuckerberg! :rofl:

Yeah, I just tweeted this about him: "I'm okay with Jeremy Irons as Alfred but Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor is a big no for me. Jesse Eisenberg's characters have all been one and the same to me so far. He's just playing the same person with a different name."

So yeah, he'll be ruining that character for me in the film. He does the same quirky things with all of his characters. I just can't see a character played by Jesse Eisenberg having Lex Luthor's motives.

What I just read is kinda true, the outcry from this casting is similar to Affleck casting and Gadot casting and both have been forgiven

That's true. But this is different if you ask me. Heath Ledger had already shown he can play more than one character, Jesse hasn't. I thought the same thing though, with each negative tweet about Jesse's casting, that it might all blow back into my face, haha. And you know how silent I was about Affleck's casting as Batman. Jesse as Lex Luthor is just way different for me.

I do hope it gets blown back into my face and that he pulls it off. But I've seen quite a few movies with him in it and I just can't see it.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
