New Man Of Steel Pics Featuring Henry Cavill & Amy Adams Arrive

March 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

man-of-steel-TF-2
It’s still a few months until Man Of Steel hits cinemas on June 14th, but Total Film has got the 411 on the movie in a new feature, which provides a few fresh images from the film as well as behind the scenes (via io9). You can see those pics above and below, which include a fresh look at Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Henry Cavill as Superman himself (we’re liking the fact it looks like Cavill was allowed to stay a bit hairy – as chest fuzz is normally the first thing to go when playing a superhero – just ask Chris Evans as Captain America).

Snyder also told the mag that they’re trying to make a Superman film that makes sense to people, saying “We’ve tried to make a Superman movie where he does stuff and you go, ‘Yeah, if I was Superman, that’s what I’d do. Even though he’s an alien, he’s more relatable, more human.”

Henry Cavill adds, “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…”

It certainly sounds as if they’re going for the Dark Knight audience with the film. Click on the pics below for larger versions.

Henry Cavill & Amy Adams Stand Proud In New Man Of Steel Pic

March 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Man-of-Steel-Cavill-AdamsYou may have seen this image released as part of the cover of the latest issue of Total Film, but now a clean version has arrived (via The Playlist), showing Amy Adams and Henry Cavill looking classic Superman and Lois Lane and Clark Kent.

Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.’

The film hits cinemas this June.

Christian Bale Returning As Batman For Justice League, With Chris Nolan Producing?

March 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dark-knight-rises-bd-review-slideUntil there’s anything even vaguely official, I’d take this one with a pinch of salt, but Latino Review reports that suggests Christopher Nolan has agreed to take on producer duties on the long-planned Justice League movie. They also suggest Christian Bale may return as Batman and Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman.

In recent months Justice League has been in trouble, with reports that Warner hated Will Beall’s script and that they would have to start again from scratch. Along with that issue, there have been suggestion the scope of the project is scaring many at DC. While they want to catch up to Marvel’s cinematic universe, they’re also aware that if Justice League turns out to be a disaster, it could severely harm several key characters’ chances on the big screen. Many believe that Justice League’s fate rests solely on whether this summer’s Man of Steel becomes a major hit.

With so many worries and uncertainties, one of the few things that would be likely to give everyone a bit of confidence would be getting Chris Nolan on-board in some capacity. If Latino Review is correct, he’s now agreed to do that, shepherding the project to the screen just as he did with Man of Steel.

This means that Christian Bale may return as Batman, even though he stated multiple times that The Dark Knight Rises would be his last turn as Bruce Wayne. That said, the actor did hint in a recent interview that if Christopher Nolan came to him with another Batman story, he might be interested in donning the cowl once again.

It is also being said that Man of Steel director Zack Snyder will produce Justice League alongside Christopher Nolan, and that he may possibly end up directing Justice League. The suggestion is that Christopher Nolan is going to be developing/shepherding all of Warner’s superhero projects from now on, in a similar way to what Mark Millar is doing at Fox, and Joss Whedon at Marvel. Nothing has been confirmed by the studio, so consider this information a slightly dubious rumor for now.

New Pics: Wolverine, Iron Man 3 & Man Of Steel

January 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

wolverine-ew-pic1Entertainment Weekly is having a bit of a summer preview in its print issue, so Filmthrasher has kindly scanned in some of the new image from some of this year’s biggest upcoming movies, including Iron Man 3, The Wolverine and Man Of Steel.

The Wolverine pic shows off the mutant in Japan, and he’s looking angry, although there’s not too much more we can tell from the pic than that. In the Iron Man 3 image we’re presuming Pepper Potts is just hugging Tony in his suit, and its not some sort of bizarre role play sex scene. The Man Of Steel pic meanwhile expands of the recent poster, with Superman for some reason in hadncuffs.

All three movies hit cinemas between May and July.

New Man Of Steel Image Has Henry Cavill Looking Serious

January 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

man-of-steel-preview-pic2
Man Of Steel is definitely one of the more intriguing movies of 2013, not least for the ponderings over the tone it will have. Will it be popcorn fun? Will if be more grounded like The Dark Knight movies? Is it, as the trailers suggest, going to be rather reflective and about Superman’s internal struggle.

To be honest, it’s difficult to get much of a hint from this new photo about what modd the movie will have. We presume it’s from the scene in the trailer where Superman is standing on a military base looking rather concerned.

Expect to see far more from the movie before its June 14th release.

Has The Justice League Superhero Lineup Been Revealed?

January 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

justice-leagueLast month rumours emerged that the villain in Justice League would be Darkseid, and now a new report via Comic Book News has what they say is the full line-up of supheroes for the movie. While we knew Batman and Superman would be included, the report includes various others who should be part of the movie.

Perhaps most intriguingly is that if the report is correct, it’s our clearest suggestion yet that DC wants Henry Cavill in the Superman role and may also try to get Ryan Reynolds back as Green Lantern.

Here’s what CBN says:
• Superman is essentially the same character from Man of Steel, and Zack Snyder is consulting regarding the writing of the character.

• Batman: The strategist of the group. Batman doesn’t really want to be involved with these super powered beings he considers too powerful. Easily the most complex written.

• Wonder Woman: She has only been in man’s world a few short months. The Wonder Woman script Michael Goldenberg is developing will be set before the Justice League movie.

• Green Lantern: Will be Ryan Reynold’s character from the Green Lantern movie, but will be freshly written with a more serious tone.

• Flash: The most popular hero in civilian eyes who loves media attention, but when called upon is very serious.

• Martian Manhunter: Alien who has lived on Earth in secret for over a hundred years who has knowledge of Darkseid and his reign.

• Aquaman: Will be the King of Atlantis who has a key role in the film.• There will also be a heavy military presence in the film which in future rewrites could include characters featured in Man of Steel or even Amanda Waller (Angela Bassett) of which neither are included in the first draft.

• Alfred Pennyworth is in the film in a minor appearance.

• Lois Lane is also in the film in a cameo.

• Darkseid’s Elite will be featured who go up against the Justice League early on in the film.

Will Beall (Gangster Squad) is writing the film, which is currently being planned for a 2015 release (the same year as Avengers 2).

New Man Of Steel Trailer – Clark Kent is looking all kinds of hot

December 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Already today we’ve had trailers for After Earth and The Lone Ranger, and now it’s the turn of Man of Steel. All these big movie promos are lining up now in preparation to play ahead of The Hobbit. Man Of Steel is certainly one of the most intriguing. The trailer continues the introspective tone of the teasers, at least initially, before offering something a bit more explosive and action-packed at the end.

There’s definitely an attempt to sell this as the successor to The Dark Knight, although don’t be surprise if things get less artful and more bombastic as the June 14th release date approaches.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.’

May we just say that Henry Cavill is looking gorgeous. Few people have ever looked so good in a spandex suit and cape. And when we say he’s looking hot we’re not just being metaphorical. Take a look at the screengrab below and drool.

New Man Of Steel Poster Has Superman In Cuffs

December 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

One thing you don’t expect in a Superman movie is for the hero to get handcuffed – after all, what would be the point, it’s not like they could hold him? – but that’s what’s happening in a new poster for Man Of Steel. There’s no info on exactly how this fits into the plot, but with a darker tone promised, presumably at some point Clark Kent is seen as persona non grata and has some legal issues.

Whether this is a result of him being seen as a vigilante (Batman-style) or a result of the appearance of General Zod, isn’t clear.

While the pic is a little blurry, it is official as it arrived over on the film’s Facebook page.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.’ The movie is out June 2013.

Will Joseph Gordon-Levitt Play Batman In Justice League?

November 27, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few years ago, George Miller was planning a Justice League movie that would feature Batman and Superman, but would feature completely different actors in those roles than in the stand-alone films, with a separate continuity. When Warner Bros announced a few months back they were resurrecting the idea of a Justice League film, it wasn’t clear if this would tie into Man Of Steel and Nolan’s Batman film or not.

Now it seems they might, as talking to the New York Post, Man Of Steel director Zack Snyder says about Justice League, “They trust me to keep them on course” for that film. That may be talking in the vaguest of terms, but it’s a long way from a few months ago, when he said, “What they’ll do with Justice League will be its own thing with its own Batman and own Superman.”

Although he doesn’t confirm anything, it does suggest Cavill may now be playing Superman in both Man Of Steel and Justice League – something Warner could easily do as they signed Cavill to a multi-film deal when he agreed to the role.

But what about Batman? Well, the idea of Christian Bale coming back is very, very unlikely, but what about Joseph Gordon Levitt, who after Dark Knight Rises could easily don the cowl? According to Hitfix, that’s the current thinking at Warner Bros. Hitfix says JGL is already set for Justice League (although it may not be as definite as they suggest), and could even pop up in Man Of Steel, with Warner/DC essentially starting to build their own Marvel style cross-over universe. We’ll have to wait and see though.

The Avengers has certainly shaken up the superhero world, with everyone else now racing to build their own connected universe. Even Fox is trying to find continuity by hiring Mark Millar to oversee the properties it owns, such as X-Men and Fantastic Four.

Justice League is currently planned for release in 2015.

Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill And More Eyed For David Yates’ Tarzan

November 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

David Yates was a ridiculously busy man making four Harry Potter movies over the space of four years, but since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 he’s taken his time to plot his follow-up. While there have been various things in the works he’s bided his time. Now it appears his next film will be a new take on Tarzan, as Vulture reports that Yates has signed on the dotted line to direct Tarzan for Warner Bros.

Things are already moving forward as the director is also meeting with actors such as Henry Cavill, Charlie Hunnam, and Alexander Skarsgård for the title role. There’s no news on who might be the frontunner though. Warner Bros. is also apparent interested in bringing on Tom Hardy to star in the title role, after his performances in the studio’s blockbusters such as Inception and The Dark Knight Rises.

This is the same version of Tarzan that Footloose director Craig Brewer signed on to helm in June 2011, but he has since dropped out. The character was created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912, and has been the basis of numerous movie and TV adaptation. Constantin Film also has its own mo-cap Tarzan project starring Kellan Lutz.
