Man of Steel star Henry Cavill says he wants to see a meet of the Man of Steel and The Dark Knight.

“I think it would be really interesting with the age-old Batman/Superman conflict,” he tells SFX, “because they are two different sides of the same coin and their methods are entirely different. And I think it would actually make Continue reading MAN OF STEEL Star Wants Superman/Batman Movie

If you’ve seen the Man of Steel trailer you can see the earth quake as Superman takes off. It’s no gentle liftoff but a blast. Superman’s flying affects the atmosphere causing a sonic boom.

Henry Cavill is soaring as Superman over Metropolis in this new poster from Warner Brothers on Yahoo. Kal-El looks like a determined missile. Flying for this hero is work according to director Zach Snyder.

  “It’s a more violent experience,” Snyder tells SFX Magazine.

  “It’s raw. It takes Continue reading MAN OF STEEL Soars In New Poster!

More action. More drama. More explosions. More psychotic Zod. More Lois Lane. Take a look at the new trailer for Man of Steel:

Man of Steel is produced by Christopher Nolan and directed by Zach Snyder with Henry Cavill as Superman. This does feel like a Superman: Year One or Superman Begins if you will.

Here are some thoughts after the new trailer:

Jor-El (Russell Crowe) was a rebel Continue reading MAN OF STEEL New Action Packed Trailer!

Comic Book Movies 2013

As we celebrate the finale of The Dark Knight Trilogy, the success of The Avengers and the return of James Bond in in Skyfall in 2012, it’s time to look at some of the genre films that will thrill us in 2013.

Here are my most anticipated comic book films of 2013.

The Wolverine Hugh Jackman plays the X-Man in his second solo movie based on the classic story by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. It’s Logan in Japan fighting Yakuka, Ronin, the Hand and The Silver Samurai! This film introduces three iconic women of Wolverine’s list of romantic conquests: Lady Mariko – daughter of crime lord, Yukio – the wild assassin who inspired Storm to get a mohawk, and Viper – ruthless terrorist leader.  With James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma) directing from the classic source material, I think this film will be a showcase of action and great acting Jackman. Jackman and Wolverine are one of the greatest combining of actor and role ever.

Thor: The Dark World Chris Hemsworth as the Thunder God goes home again when a new threat targets Asgard! Malekith (played by former Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston) leads the Dark Elves on a quest for vegeance that threatens the Nine Realms. Adwele Akinnuoye-Agbaje plays another classic comic book enemy: Kurse. I hope to see a bigger role for Lady Sif (Jaime Alexander) and look forward to that bloody Shakespearean drama from Anthony Hopkins, Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston as Odin, Thor and Loki.

Iron Man 3 Marvel is injecting new creative blood (director Shane Black) and a classic enemy – Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin – in Tony’s third solo movie. The story is based on the classic Extremis story and introduces new armor including the Iron Patriot.

Man of Steel With a team like director Zach Snyder, producer Christopher Nolan and writer David Goyer will this darker, realistic Superman work the way Dark Knight did? Henry Cavill will face Michael Shannon as Zod and possibly more evil Kryptonians.

Star Trek: Into Darkness To boldly go where no franchise has gone before! J.J. Abrams rebooted the sci-fi classic by honoring the original series while moving forward at warp speed. Kirk, Spock and the Enterprise crew track a mystery villain (Benedict Cumberbatch) villain out to destroy the Federation.

What’s on your list to watch for in 2013?

MAN OF STEEL Poster Shows Superman In Cuffs!

  Superman under arrest? Warner Brothers revealed a brand new poster of Man of Steel. The Last Son of Krypton (played by Henry Cavill) is seen in handcuffs and escorted by a military unit.

What does it mean? Will the new Man of Steel trailer seen with The Hobbit reveal more?

  Henry Cavill recently spoke about the “epically cool” film by Zach Snyder and their approach to Superman. 

  In past DC Comics storylines – the public and government have turned against “metahumans” or maybe General Zod’s actions in the film are so destructive Earth turns against all Kryptonians.

Man of Steel opens June 14, 2013.

Henry Cavill On “Epically Cool” Superman

 

courtesy Warner Brothers

  Henry Cavill (Immortals, The Tudors) plays Superman in Man of Steel next year. Zach Snyder directed. Christopher Nolan produced. Fans wait in anticipation.

  How will the styles Snyder (300, Watchmen) and Nolan (The Dark Knight Trilogy) bring to the project impact the DC Comics icon. The British actor  talks about the new version of Superman with Details:

  “I don’t mean anything against the movies and TV shows that have come before, because they were of their time, but this is epically cool. People in the past have criticized the character for being a bit chocolate-box, a bit vanilla, and this is not that—at all. The lore is there that we’re drawing from, but to create something from that which is reflective of life today—that’s the trick.”

  A new Man of Steel trailer will appear before The Hobbit. Man of Steel opens the Summer in 2013.

  Rip the suit and let your “S” show! The Man of Steel Facebook page is sporting this new logo for the Zach Snyder directed reboot of Superman. Looks like it fits with the metallic look of Henry Cavill as the Last Son of Krypton in an earlier photo.

  I’m digging it. What do you think?
