Henry Cavill to Play Superman

[LOC Veteran]

You mean "Deadliest Catch" right? That's the show I thought of at first.

Yeah that's the show. I couldn't think of the name so I just went with the Alaskan reference :D

Kevin Costner as Pa Kent? I'm not buying it...yet.

Did he drop something? lol.

Can't believe they ditched the iconic Superman score though!

Has this been confirmed, or are you just going by the trailer? I'm not assuming; I'm just asking because I haven't looked into whether they have or not. I'll be gutted if they have because that music really contributed to my love of Superman. As silly as it may sound, there were many aspects of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies that contributed to Superman being my favourite superhero, and that music has always been one of my favourite pieces of music.

It might have been his underwear.

I wish they used the music in the CC trailer over the teaser trailer music (though they are both great pieces) and also, like yeah. HQ non shaky cam version of that trailer PLZ. Whoever decided to release the teaser over that one, should be sent to the phantom zone.

It might have been his underwear.

I'm pretty sure it is, which is how they'll explain the lack of them on the new suit.

I read this on the Yahoo page with the trailer:

While promoting 'The Dark Knight Rises', director Christopher Nolan told Yahoo! Movies that new Superman film 'Man of Steel' was "the future of the superhero genre".

He would say that of course, as he's producing it. But, judging by this exclusive first trailer, you can see what he's getting at.

Visually astonishing, it sees British thesp Henry Cavill don the iconic cape in this entirely rebooted Superman adventure. Russell Crowe plays his Dad, Jor El, and Michael Shannon is villain General Zod.

Most intriguing however is the choice of director. Snyder has one of the most recognisable visual styles in Hollywood, as seen in the highly stylised and meticulous compositions in '300', 'Sucker Punch' and 'Dawn of the Dead'. He also did a decent job of adapting the notoriously complex 'Watchmen' for the big screen.

He certainly impressed die-hard fans at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego. Similar 'Man of Steel' footage to what you're seeing above had many geeks in tears. One described himself as a "blubbering mess" after the screening. Another said: "Any doubt I had was gone with that trailer."

Snyder himself said that they rebuilt superman totally from scratch, ignoring the previous films and even John Williams' iconic score. He said: "We had to act as if no film has been made. When we approached it, we had to say 'this is Superman for the first time'.

"It's about making him work and making him cool."

'Man of Steel' is released June 14 2013. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the trailer in the comments section below.

It's funny how they say that yet this movie has it's basis in a comic book series or a few as it's borrowing parts from them. I'm not surprised though since Nolan himself did the same with the batman trilogy and borrowed parts from batman comics like year one and dark knight from Frank Miller etc.

This has been said before though, so I'm not going to rehash it but even so it does look good and I hope they take the superman vs Zodd fighting to epic levels. It wouldn't be superman if they didn't trash a large part of the city in a fight. :p

I watched the trailer again and it seems they took a page out of the Terrence Malick book of cinematography.

[DocM]

The cinematographer is Amir Mokri (Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Lord of War, House of the Rising Sun)

He will also be doing 'The Wolverine'

"Man of Steel" a new Super Man movie which is coming next year. i just want to know how it differ from Super Man previous movie which come in 2006. This movie is going to directed by Zack Snyder. Let see how it will create new Magic to attract public.

[simplezz]

I think the intention is to go darker and more realistic than the previous version, which if we're being honest, was little more than a glorified homage to the Richard Donner films, and Christopher Reeves' portrayal of Superman, rather than a unique film in its own right.

I like the direction the Man of Steel is going for, but I fear my own bias towards Smallville and Tom Welling has left me jaded to any new reimaginings.

I like the new approach with one exception the theme , i hope they dont change it :( , batman was one thing ( didnt realy have a music theme ) but this one .. its iconic .. just like the star trek one - which in the new movie managed to make it awesome thank god :D - or star wars .. and many many others ..

[sanctified Veteran]

batman was one thing ( didnt realy have a music theme )

[drotaru]
