MAN OF STEEL Is A Serious Superman

  Superman will soar again on the big screen next year as part of the hero’s 75th Anniversary. Zach Snyder is in post-production on Man of Steel now and talks with the L.A. Times Hero Complex about the tone of the film.

  “It’s a more serious version of Superman. It’s not like a heart attack. We took the mythology seriously. We take him as a character seriously. I believe the movie would appeal to anyone. I think that you’re going to see a Superman you’ve never seen before. We approached it as though no other films had been made. He’s the king-daddy. Honestly that’s why I wanted to do it. I’m interested in Superman because he’s the father of all superheroes. He’s this amazing ambassador for all superheroes. What was it about him that cracked the code that made pop culture embrace this other mythology? What we‘ve made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It’s been an honor to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes. I wanted to be sure the movie treated it respectfully.”

  Henry Cavill will portray the Man of Steel in 2013. Part of the 75th Anniversary includes the debut of a brand new Superman comic book by Scott Snyder and Jim Lee.

  Huge praise for The Man of Steel Director and leading man from the actor who gets to ooze Kryptonian evil on-screen. Michael Shannon plays General Zod in the new Superman film. In an interview with The Playlist the actor compared Zach Snyder to Martin Scorsese, saying Snyder’s reboot is “edgy in a way like when Nolan took over the Batman franchise.”

 “Henry [Cavill] is a fantastic Superman, he’s got a little edge to him and he’s smart, clever and I had fun working with him,” Shannon added. “I think Zack is the master stylist, visually, I mean he’s up there with Scorsese in my book in terms of visual composition, orchestration, etc.”

A huge compliment sure to heighten already huge expectations.
