MAN OF STEEL (2013) IS ALL ZACK SNYDER'S MOVIE SAYS HENRY CAVILL WHILE IN JAPAN CBN Posted by: Matt McGloin, Editor/Publisher


New Superman Henry Cavill has just returned from Japan along with girlfriend Gina Carano where he stayed for a few days while promoting the new Man of Steel movie.

It what first was said to be an official visit - then an unofficial visit - it now seems as if, indeed, Henry Cavill was there to talk all things Superman as we learn the actor conducted interviews for the Man of Steel which are embargoed and will be released later at some point.

However, one Japanese journalist managed to squeeze a tease out through Twitter where Henry Cavill was asked whose style the movie would be like, director Zack Snyder or producer Christopher Nolan?


Here's the translated tweets (via Man of Steel Fan Facebook)

Interview with ‘Man of Steel’ Henry Cavill. Great, because as soon as he enters the room, you feel ‘wow, it’s Superman’. Under a gagging clause, I finally manage to slip in “will the finish be Nolan style or Snyder style?”, to which I get “Snyder style, but it will be much more realistic than before.

Henry Cavill: Major 'Man Of Steel' Rumor/Spoiler Looks Like It Might Be True NEWS BY KEVIN JAGERNAUTH (INDIEWIRE)



We shouldn't have to tell you, but fair warning and don't cry if you keep on reading past this: there will be major spoilers below. If you don't want "Man Of Steel" ruined for the love of God stop reading right here.

With that preamble out of the way, it just a day or so ago that writer David S. Goyer was deflecting questions about whether or not a female version of Jimmy Olsen or baddie Lex Luthor would be appearing in the Christopher Nolan produced, Zack Snyder directed "Man Of Steel." He would neither confirm nor deny, so of course, that just set the geeks to dig harder, and over at AICN, it seems they've put together the puzzle pieces that indeed seem to reveal that Lex Luthor will have some kind of appearance in the Superman movie.

HENRY CAVILL TALKS ABOUT THE PRESSURE OF BEING SUPERMAN


Will Henry Cavill Make Superman Cool Again? By: Scott Johnson on March 24, 2013 (COMIC BOOK)



There was a time when Superman was the most famous superhero in the world. He might very well still be, but you wouldn’t know it in America. At Halloween, Batman and Iron Man costumes usually far outnumber the Superman costumes.

Of course, the success of other superheroes has largely been driven by the movies. The Batman movie franchise is by far the highest grossing box office superhero franchise in the U.S. with close to a $1.9 billion total gross. The Avengers franchise is next with a $1.7 billion total gross.


Where is poor Superman on the list? Well, he’s way down below Spider-Man, X-Men, and Iron Man. Superman has only accumulated a paltry $518 million at the U.S. box office. The Dark Knight by itself made more than all the Superman movies combined at the box office.

Now, in fairness, most of the Superman movies were released in the seventies and the eighties before tickets prices reached the inflated levels where they sit today. But the fact that Superman has only had one movie in the last quarter century sort of proves the point of his waning popularity.

Henry Cavill Talks Man Of Steel And Comic Books By Cody "The Thorverine" Ferrell on Mar 12, 2013 COMIC BOOK THERAPY



Yesterday we got a glimpse at Total Film’s special Man of Steel cover featuring Henry Cavill and Amy Adams, and today we get a few interesting quotes from Cavill featured inside the magazine. The man who will bring Superman back to life on the big screen this summer touched on the films more grounded approach as well as his comic book knowledge.

The British actor said Man of Steel is Superman “for a modern age” and that the film tackles universal questions about Clark/Superman’s purpose in life. Overall, it’s going to be a grounded approach:

This is a Superman for a modern age. It’s not betraying anything that Superman is, but it is grounding everything in reality. It’s the story of this incredible being who can do incredible things, but whom we can associate with. Because he’s gone through troubling stuff and had to make tough choices.

NEW MAN OF STEEL STILLS & PRODUCTION PHOTOS FEATURING HENRY CAVILL & AMY ADAMS (DAILY BLAM)


BY PIETRO FILIPPONI
PUBLISHED: MARCH 15, 2013 - 8:22AM


This summer, Warner Bros Pictures releases their highly anticipated reboot of the Superman film franchise from director Zack Snyder (300) and producers Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight trilogy).

Director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel features Henry Cavill in the role of DC Comics' popular hero Superman. The film also stars three-time Oscar® nominee Amy Adams (The Fighter) as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Oscar® nominee Laurence Fishburne (What's Love Got to Do with It) as her editor-in-chief, Perry White. Starring as Clark Kent's adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Oscar® nominee Diane Lane (Unfaithful) and Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner (Dances with Wolves).



Henry Cavill & Michael Shannon Talk ‘Man Of Steel,’ Superman & General Zod (FLICKS AND BITS)



Speaking to Total Film Magazine (quotes via CBM) for their “Heroes and Villains” cover story on ‘Man of Steel,’ both Henry Cavill (Superman/Clark Kent) and Michael Shannon (General Zod) shed some light on Zack Snyder’s much anticipated Superman reboot. ”Having gone to boarding school, I didn’t have a comic-book store nearby,” Cavill said when asked whether or not he grew up a fan of the iconic DC superhero. “But as soon as I was cast in the movie, that’s when I got my full, real introduction to Superman.” After plenty of reading and watching a pile of box sets, Cavill finally felt as if he had a good grip on the character. “I managed to piece together this character, maintaining that baseline and having all differences and nuances that our script adds. This is our own thing, Stand-alone. It’s about Superman, but we’re not copying from any one comic book in particular. And that’s a good thing, because its an origin-story.”

On the topic of General Zod, Michael Shannon said, “He’s not a villain. He’s not a villain any more than any other General fighting to protect his people. He doesn’t like to just hurt people and steal diamonds; he’s focused on being successful at his job.” Unlike Henry Cavill, Shannon didn’t look to the past for inspiration, saying instead that he wants to take this version of the character in a different direction altogether. “I think the way Terrence Stamp approached it – and this isn’t any kind if criticism of his performance – there was something kind of detached about it. Pure, hatred, rage, whatever… I think this [characterisation] is more ambiguous.” As for General Zod’s suit in ‘Man of Steel,’ Shannon emphasises that motion capture technology was necessary as, “the real thing would probably crush me.”  Pick up the latest issue of Total Film Magazine for more from Cavill and Shannon about ‘Man of Steel.’

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY CASTING: HENRY CAVILL VS CHACE CRAWFORD (FAN SHARE)

Henry Cavill
 Henry Cavill has slowly but surely worked his way up the fans list to play Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. With all the hype surrounding Henry's upcoming movie Man of Steel, his following continues to grow. Henry Cavill recently opened up about the Fifty Shades of Grey rumours, stating that he would have to read the script first.



Chace Crawford
 While Chace Crawford does not have a huge backing by the fans, there are certainly those who would love to see him play Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey film. Chace certainly has the physique to pull of the role and is a solid enough actor to carry such a large project. Chace Crawford recently admitted that he would be interested in the role, as it would show him in a new light and prove his diversity as an actor.

HENRY CAVILL: Man Of Steel EARLY Review - Henry Cavill IS Superman By: Scott Johnson on March 5, 2013 (COMIC BOOK)

As far as Henry Cavill’s performance, the reviewer states, “Henry Cavill is Superman to me now. I like his take on the character. I don’t really care necessarily how Superman/Clark Kent is in the comics. But Henry has a really good performance and brings a new Superman for the modern era. One who is powerful, strong, and inhumane in ability, yet also relatable and earns our sympathy.


Ever since Man of Steel started doing test screenings, early reviews have started leaking out. All the reviews seem to have one thing in common. They are all extremely positive. In fact, Nikki Finke of Deadline slipped in her own feedback on the Man of Steel in a post about Jack the Giant Slayer bombing. In mentioning upcoming movies, Finke referenced, “the hotly anticipated Man Of Steel which by many accounts overdelivers. (That’s the buzz following its first internal screening.)” We assume overdelivers is meant to be a good thing and that she isn’t criticizing the movie for being too good.

Another new anonymous review also recently showed up on a message board. Here are some spoiler free highlights. According to the reviewer, who professes to not being a comics fan, “The movie is good, and entertaining. I don’t think I’ll use hyperbole of calling it the best movie of the year two months in, but it’s a top five, if not top three, superhero movie.” The reviewer also adds, ” I think this is the best live action version of Superman and it does a great job of making him feel relatable.”

Henry Cavill, Christian Bale: Christian Bale To Return As Batman Alongside Henry Cavill's Superman In Justice League Film? (E.)


Christian Bale could be set to return as Batman in DC comics’ Justice League movie, according to a report.

The deal which could make it happen is an alleged move by Warner Bros to give Batman trilogy director Christopher Nolan complete control over the comics’ universe, which sees its next instalment with Henry Cavill’s turn as Superman in Man of Steel.


The Superman reboot will be directed by Zak Snyder, but Nolan will executive produce, and the Latino Review, a site with a decent record of scoops on superhero and sci-fi movies, last month breaking the news that Harrison Ford was set to return to Star Wars.

The website claims that the Justice League movie has “gone into lockdown”, with Warner Bros pulling out all the stops to ensure that it is a success.
