MAN OF STEEL is really the movie we’ve been waiting for all year. The film had so many questions as to whether or not it could finally do justice to arguably the most famous superhero of them all. But one of the biggest questions surrounding MAN OF STEEL (click the link to read our review) [...]
Most of us love a good summer superhero blockbuster film. I am no different and am amazed at the leaps and bounds the genre has taken in not only being fun but also smart. Enough so that it has inspired me to create a list for my Top Ten Greatest Superhero Movies. To make it [...]
For the past year my anticipation for the MAN OF STEEL has grown quite rapidly. From Christopher Nolan producing to the incredibly subtle yet extremely affective first teaser trailer’s with voiceovers imparting dramatic wisdom from Superman’s Krypton father Jor-El played by Russell Crowe and another from his earthly father Jonathan Kent played by Kevin Costner, [...]
The first two clips from the movie event of the summer, MAN OF STEEL, have been released and I find them to be an odd choice from the marketing team as far as movie clips go. The first one features Lois Lane (Amy Adams) and Perry White (Laurence Fishburne) talking about something that results in [...]
MAN OF STEEL has premiered to the press in Los Angeles and so Henry Cavill, Zack Snyder and the rest of the players have already suffered through what promises to be the first of many press gauntlets for the film. With a major tent-pole like this, the questions will probably all be the same and [...]
In the beginning of the MAN OF STEEL promotions, it was all very existential and focused on the epic nature of Superman and his purpose. That lasted for quite a while and then we got the final trailer and it was all about Superman in action. But with this latest TV spot, Warner Bros. seems [...]
I almost called this the “final” MAN OF STEEL trailer, but given how many trailers, TV spots, posters and images we’ve gotten so far, I doubt this is the last trailer we’ll get for the film. We’re just over three weeks away and the marketing onslaught is almost too much to bare. But this new [...]
All the super-powered people from Krypton in MAN OF STEEL seem to have gotten their own character poster. Henry Cavill as Kal-El, Russell Crowe as Superman’s father, and my favorite Michael Shannon as General Zod are all front and center look strong and mystical. We’ve had so many pictures and posters featuring the Man of [...]
We all knew that Warner Bros. would be partnering with any and everyone on the marketing for MAN OF STEEL, but I didn’t expect Wal-Mart to be one of the primary partners. But the superstore giant has money to burn and so the next time you’re at Wal-Mart picking up some toiletries or perhaps trying [...]
After a flurry of final one-sheets for MAN OF STEEL, we now get an onslaught of new images from the film. Most of these are images of Henry Cavill looking very Superman-y, but hidden in the batch is a picture with a caption that might get some Superman fanboys riled up. As was long rumored, [...]
What’s the rule about saying “Superman” in reference to Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL? I hope I’m not breaking any cherished comic rules by calling him “Superman”, but I’m not a Superman comic aficionado, so I’m not sure what the rules are. Anyway, Warner Bros. is apparently going for a record in terms of MAN [...]
TV spots, trailers, posters, stills, promotional tie-ins; must be summer movie season. Warner Bros. is banking that MAN OF STEEL is going to be huge and given how epic the TV spots and trailers are trying to make the film look, I’d say there’s a good chance they’re right. But in the days of everyday [...]
I’m always pretty hard on posters, mainly because I’ve been an avid collector for about 20 years now and after all this time, I get pretty tired of the floating heads and bad PhotShopping we see these days. But I had hopes for the final MAN OF STEEL poster since we had seen several nice [...]
The epic marketing angle for MAN OF STEEL continues even into TV land, where the latest TV spot for the new Superman film feels a lot like the trailers we’ve seen in that we don’t see much of Henry Cavill and then Russell Crowe gives a long speech and asks the question, “What if a [...]
Images, TV spots, merchandising tie-ins, trailers and posters, oh my. Warner Bros. has stepped up their efforts for MAN OF STEEL and now we have what I believe is the fourth poster for the next Superman movie. This time borrowing straight from a scene from the latest trailer with Henry Cavill as Superman walking out/in [...]
MAN OF STEEL has officially propelled itself to my number one most anticipated summer movie. Warner Bros. has been in high promotion mode, recently dropping another awesome trailer and now releasing another image of Henry Cavill donning the cape as Superman. Standing tall and strong with a slew of military behind him, I’m sure this [...]
Another MAN OF STEEL trailer has been released and although it’s still great and does feature a lot of new footage, it feels pretty similar to what we’ve seen before. Clark Kent is discovering who he is while his two fathers have different ideas about what he should/could become. We get it; Superman is a [...]
As much as we’d like to think Batman and Superman might be above the mass marketing splurge that all summer movies seem to get, the fact is, they’re not. Not even close. In fact, one could argue that Superman is the most famous of all superheroes and the one most recognizable worldwide. So that means [...]
It can’t be all Superman, all the time, so we finally get some good looks at some of Henry Cavill‘s costars in the film, including his parents, Lois Lane and of course, Michael Shannon as the big baddie, General Zod. With MAN OF STEEL only a couple of months away, the marketing campaign is heating [...]
As I’m writing my 20th or so story about this summer’s MAN OF STEEL, I’ve realized that after all the trailers, images and posters, we still really don’t have much of an indication how this film will turn out. These new images from TotalFilm don’t really shed too much light on the film, but it’s [...]
It seems like it has been a while since we’ve seen anything for Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman film MAN OF STEEL, but the two stars (Henry Cavill and Amy Adams) have landed the cover for the magazine Total Film and it makes me a bit excited. I don’t really have any strong opinions on Henry [...]
I debated whether or not to post this because I’m still not convinced that this is an actual promo image from MAN OF STEEL or if this is just a top quality, fan made pic for the film. It was originally posted by a user on DeviantART, which is usually a place for fan made [...]
Empire has been recycling images from that Henry Cavill photo shoot for months now, but they really are the best looks we’ve had of the Superman costume in MAN OF STEEL. It’s a good, full image and I guess I haven’t noticed this before, but I think the thing that has always bugged me about [...]
Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman film called MAN OF STEEL seems to be picking up steam as it’s hitting a lot of people’s most anticipated films in 2013 list (read our top ten movies to forward to in 2013 list). Entertainment Weekly has snagged another newish photo from the film which shows Superman (played by Henry [...]
If you guys read our list of top ten movies to look forward to in 2013 (click the link to read it), then you know Zack Snyder’s take on the Superman story called MAN OF STEEL was our number one most anticipated film. Although I am looking forward to the film, I’m still wary about [...]
Now that 2012 is behind us, it’s time to look forward to the great movies we can expect in 2013. Last year was a good mix of fun blockbusters and smaller, quality dramas and 2013 promises more of the same. And yes, I’m combining like-movies and yes, this is technically more than ten movies. But [...]
I was brutally harsh on the first teaser trailer for MAN OF STEEL, mainly because I thought it was trying to be something too existential for a Superman movie. I don’t have complete faith in director Zack Snyder because he’s delivered a few bombs on his short resume and Superman seems to be a tough [...]
Not surprisingly, the MAN OF STEEL has landed on the cover of a magazine called Studio Ciné Live, which is a magazine I’ve personally never heard of but they must be pretty popular to get Superman (played by Henry Cavill) to pose for them. This is all in anticipation of Zack Snyder’s upcoming film MAN [...]
Many fans were almost as excited to see Henry Cavill in the first teaser trailer for MAN OF STEEL as they were to see THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, which is surprising that Warner Bros. decided to release such a bland, existential trailer that barely features 5 seconds of Superman in action. We see Henry Cavill [...]
Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill had the crowd at Comic-Con pretty excited during their MAN OF STEEL panel. Aside from showing some very early footage, they made a few announcements, including that the first trailer for the film will be in front of next weekend’s much anticipated THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. Not that you really [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Are people really affected by the fact that Amy Adams will keep her red locks for the role of Lois Lane in MAN OF STEEL? I really don’t think it matters personally. The comics show Lane traditionally as a brunette but over time her hair has been lighter tones. As long [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Wow. We went from clean-cut Clark Kent to now unshaven forever alone Clark Kent. I’m guessing from the plot that this could possibly be the “I’m trying to deal with this whole Superman thing” phase. Will he help the people of Earth? Or will he turn from his responsibilities? It’s the [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Now that you’ve seen several photos of Henry Cavill in the Superman costume for MAN OF STEEL, how about some of Clark Kent? Recently, the actor was on set in full Clark attire. Nearly complete anyway. There’s still a big component missing–the glasses. Maybe he didn’t wear his glasses all the [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Just like THE AVENGERS, we’ve been getting more and more set photos from Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL. Today a really important piece of Superman mythos was discovered on the set. What you will see below my writing is a photo of the Daily Planet globe. For the Superman newcomers in [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce I don’t mind a little CGI. Just not an overload of creepy characters that are solely CGI. Yes, I’m talking to you, Robert Zemeckis. So how about a little CGI for General Zod’s costume in MAN OF STEEL? At first, Zod himself, Michael Shannon did not want to get an any [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce There’s not been much offered as a plot for Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL. Is it an origin story or will it just drop us in the middle of Metropolis? According to a casting call for the film, this is what we have to look forward to: In the pantheon of [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce There’s been a ton of set coverage from upcoming superhero films like THE AVENGERS, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, and MAN OF STEEL. We’ve gotten plenty of spy footage from the first two, but not really anything of substance from MAN OF STEEL. Yeah, the Kent house is cool and so is [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Not too long after Laurence Fishburne was cast as Perry White in Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL, we finally get our first shot of Henry Cavill as Superman. What’s the verdict? Different. It’s really only one photo so to be honest, extreme judgment must be reserved for now. The suit has a [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Christopher Nolan has done well establishing himself as a director and screenwriter. We are used to Nolan serving these roles, but lately he’s been taking more opportunities. Nolan has been serving as executive producer on Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL. The studio wanted Nolan in some capacity so he decided to [...]
