The Hobbit will be the gift that keeps on giving to geeks this holiday season! The first 9 minutes of Star Trek: Into Darkness will screen on select IMAX screenings of Peter Jackson’s new film. Now Warner Brothers announced a new Man of Steel trailer will screen with The Hobbit in 2-D and 3-D.
The director of the new Superman film tells MTV :
“It’s fun. I can’t wait for ‘The Hobbit,’ so it will be fun to see our crazy ‘Man of Steel’ trailer and then enjoy the Hobbit because that’s going to be great,” Snyder told MTV News. “It just feels like a fun Christmas thing to do, drag the whole family out for that action.”
The director of the Superman reboot is praising his two leading men: Henry Cavill and Michael Shannon:
“Shannon is great, he has such great enthusiasm and dedication constantly,” Snyder said the actor playing Zod. “You can imagine that you could get actors who go, ‘Oh right, it’s Zod, it’s not 100 percent serious,’ or [you can play it] slightly with a wink, there is none of that with him. His effort is to make it realized and to understand this character and what he has to go through, so you have that on one side and you have Henry, who basically is Superman, on the other side and that dynamic.”
“I was just incredibly fortunate to play with those guys who really were giving all they had to bring a level of commitment to the scenes they have together so that audiences will get an opportunity to really have their heroes taken seriously,” he said. “As serious as I was taking it, and I don’t mean that from a depressing kind of way but from a, ‘This is important and fun and needs to be given the respect that it deserves,’ from that perspective it was so exciting to watch them drink the Kool-Aid of that concept and go all the way.”
Man of Steel soars June 14, 2013.
