We Need Some Movie News

Uh, then it's NOT the same thing. At all.

'Man Of Steel' originally had a December release date. WB, in their infinite wisdom, decided to NOT have it compete against one of their own pictures. So they pushed it to June of '13 BEFORE they started shooting. Not after it was filmed. So for a studio to decide to hold back on showing things AFTER the film was shot and date was changed is different from a movie with a FIRM release date being shot and in the can with exactly TWO "official" releases in almost a year. Doesn't make sense.

I also noticed you ignored my addict theory. Interesting....

Oh, and I won't forget.

To go back to my crack-addict analogy, think of it this way: When you have someone you want to get hooked on your product, you give them a little taste here. A taste there. Get them JONESING for your product so that when the time comes, they are yours no matter WHAT the price. You DON'T withhold your shit, dangling it in front of their faces for a year and a half, and then expect them to be there when YOU decide they get some.

Man of Steel Changes Release Date
Zack Snyder's Superman movie will now hit theatres in 2013.
July 21, 2011

I'll be honest, I didn't even read it. It was your other points I was more interesting in talking about.

Makes sense, but given that we have a whole year left before we actually see the flick WB still has the time to build up the hype, assuming they do release a trailer with THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. I do agree that they could have release a few bits and pieces during all this time, but I don't think it's too late. Showcasing MOS right before TDKR at this point seems like a nice way to make up for the lack of news. If they miss this chance and push back the promotional stuff even further then I might get peeved. Nobody's gonna hold a grudge about this lack of news by the time they start rolling in, well at least most fans...

Apologist Puncher wrote:Here's the thing though: Releasing some pics, posters, little glimpses here and there would have done NOTHING to diminish the marketing campaign they have laid-out for this film. Nothing. So by NOT doing it, all they did was annoy some of the people they most need on their side.

Trust me when I say, my family and friends will come to me BEFORE they give MOS a shot.

SDCC '12: Zack Snyder And Henry Cavill To Be In Attendance To Take Questions On MAN OF STEEL

It is known that Man of Steel will have a presence at this years San Diego Comic Con in Hall H. What was not known was whether anyone from the film team would be there, until now. A press release has confirmed that director Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill will be there for a Q and A session. WaylonJones - 7/12/2012

A couple days ago a press release was posted for Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures booth that will be at Comic Con. The release talked about different things to expect, including some art from Man Of Steel. Warner Brother has issued a new press release that stated director Zack Snyder WILL be at Comic Con to field questions on his highly anticipated Superman tale that is scheduled to hit theaters on June 14, 2013. The Hollywood Reporter is also reporting that new Superman Henry Cavill will be showing up during the panel as well. The press release also contains some information on Peter Jackson's The Hobbit presentation as well as Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. Check it out below.

Press Release:

Warner Bros. Pictures Showcases Films, Filmmakers and Stars at Comic-Con

Warner Bros. Pictures will once again have a major presence at this year’s Comic-Con International in San Diego, including appearances by fan-favorite stars and filmmakers from some of the Studio’s most anticipated films. Comic-Con attendees will also be treated to never-before-seen footage, including some that will be shown nowhere else. Talent from the films will also be on hand to answer questions, sign autographs, and more.

On Saturday, July 14th, in Hall H, beginning at 2:30 p.m., Warner Bros. Pictures will showcase a number of the releases upcoming from the Studio and its partners at Legendary Pictures, New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The special star-studded presentation also holds some surprises for the 6,500-plus fans in the convention’s largest presentation space.

The program highlights include a film that has already generated huge buzz: “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” directed by Peter Jackson, the Oscar®-winning filmmaker of the blockbuster “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Jackson, who just wrapped production in New Zealand, is embarking on his own journey halfway around the world to greet fans, who are already counting down to the December 14th opening of “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.”

Joining Jackson on the stage will be Oscar®-winning screenwriter Philippa Boyens, along with several of the film’s stars, including Martin Freeman, who portrays the title character, Bilbo Baggins; Richard Armitage, who plays the fierce leader of the Dwarves, Thorin Oakenshield; the legendary Sir Ian McKellen, who returns as Gandalf; and fan favorite Andy Serkis, the extraordinary talent who is truly behind the character of Gollum. Attendees will also be invited to ask questions about the making of this epic adventure.

The presentation also includes the DC Comics superhero who, inarguably, started it all. Superman will be back on the big screen next Summer in the much-anticipated action adventure “Man of Steel.” Filmmaker Zack Snyder, the director behind “300” and “Watchmen,” will be at Comic-Con and will take questions from the audience about the making of “Man of Steel,” which opens on June 14, 2013.

Guillermo del Toro, the acclaimed writer/director of such films as “Pan’s Labyrinth” and the “Hellboy” films, will also be on hand with a preview of his science fiction action adventure, “Pacific Rim,” opening on July 12, 2013. The film’s stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day and Ron Perlman will join the director on stage for the presentation, which includes never-before-seen footage cut together exclusively for Comic-Con. Fans will also have an opportunity to engage in a Q & A with del Toro and his cast.

On the main convention floor, the Studio has created a must-see, 3,600-plus square-foot booth that demands repeated visits to capture it all. Located at Space #4545, the Warner Bros. booth is the place to be for autograph signings, photo ops and more, with stars and creators from some of the Studio’s upcoming feature films, as well as hit TV shows, interactive titles, award-winning animated properties and new Blu-ray™ & DVD releases.

The booth will showcase static displays of the “Man of Steel” Superman costume, and Batman’s amazing two-wheeled Bat-Pod, which was introduced in the 2008 record-breaking blockbuster “The Dark Knight” and is featured again in this Summer’s most anticipated film, “The Dark Knight Rises.”

The multi-leveled Warner Bros. booth also features a dedicated area for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” featuring column and wall mountings of lenticular imagery from the film, as well as a scroll depicting the story. Images from that film, as well as other upcoming Warner Bros. projects, including “The Dark Knight Rises,” will be displayed on virtually every surface of the booth, drawing the eye from floor to ceiling.

While the Warner Bros. booth will have something to see at every minute of every day of the convention, on Saturday, July 14th, it will be the place to be to meet and greet some of the stars and filmmakers from several of the Studio’s upcoming features. Some of the autograph signing opportunities include “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” stars Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage and Andy Serkis, from 11:15 a.m. to 12 noon; from “Pacific Rim,” stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day and Ron Perlman, and director Guillermo del Toro, from 3:55 to 4:55 p.m.; and “Man of Steel” director Zack Snyder from 5:00 to 5:30 p.m. (Please note that times are approximate. Check your schedule and other announcements for updates.)

About “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” – Opening on December 14, 2012:

From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, a production of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). The film follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever…Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities… A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know. The screenplay for “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” is by Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson & Guillermo del Toro, based on The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Jackson is also producing the film, together with Carolynne Cunningham, Zane Weiner and Fran Walsh. The executive producers are Alan Horn, Toby Emmerich, Ken Kamins and Carolyn Blackwood.

About “Man of Steel” – Opening on June 14, 2013:

Directed by Zack Snyder, the film is produced by Charles Roven, Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas and Deborah Snyder, with Thomas Tull, Lloyd Phillips and Jon Peters serving as executive producers. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer from a story by Goyer & Nolan, based upon Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster and published by DC Comics. “Man of Steel” stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Christopher Meloni and Russell Crowe.

About “Pacific Rim” – Opening on July 12, 2013:

From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ sci-fi action adventure “Pacific Rim.” When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot and an untested trainee who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. “Pacific Rim” stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, and Charlie Day. “Pacific Rim” was written by Travis Beacham. Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Mary Parent are producing, with Callum Greene serving as executive producer.

SCOOP: Details On The 3D Conversion For MAN OF STEEL

Last Week IMAX posted that Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel was getting post converted into 3D,only to have Warner Brothers dispute the posting. Click here to find out what is really going down on Superman's journey to the third dimension. WaylonJones - 7/12/2012

Will they or wont they? That has been the question ever since a report from IMAX that Man Of Steel is being converted to 3D. They posted it last week with several news sites picking up the information, then Warner Brothers sent out e-mails saying that the info was false and they have not made a decision on 3D conversion yet. Well according to my WB insider they WILL be converting the film to 3D, and are none to happy with IMAX for jumping the gun on the announcement. The reason they are not happy is because WB had just signed the contracts to do the conversion and was wanting to make the announcement themselves during the films viral marketing closer to the release date. They are wanting to put it off for as long as they can because they know how fans feel about 3D movies and are wanting to avoid any bad press for the flick right out of the gate. The conversion will be handled by two companies who were not disclosed to me. However, I was told that the work on the 3D conversion begins next month in August. To further support this information take a look at the photo to the right that was captured during the Plano, IL shoot by Gregory Zonsius.

The piece of equipment you are looking at is a 3D environmental scanner. What it does it scans the environment and takes measurements for the post 3D conversion process.

Another interesting bit of info regarding the 3D conversion is that it was the cause of the release date change that was announced during last years San Diego Comic Con. The film was originally set for release date of December of this year but was moved to June 14th of 2013. The conversion process takes roughly eight months to complete, and Warner wants to make sure they have plenty of time to get it done.

Man Of Steel stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne with Christopher Meloni, Harry Lennix, and will be released on June 14, 2013.

Let's accept that premise for a minute, shall we? If we assume that this is true (which itself assumes I give two fucks about seeing MOS in 3D)... WB knows perfectly well how most fans feel about 3D and are going ahead with something they know beyond any shadow of a doubt is at best neutral news and at worst bad news.

On top of that, we don't have any relevant news or promo stuff coming down the pipeline. Jackshit.

Well done, WB... in that "not at all" kind of way...

Can Superman still save the day?

BY GEOFF BOUCHER Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES -- It seems strange to ask - rude even -given Superman's long history as a bulletproof champion of American pop culture, but the question will hang in the air this weekend at Comic-Con International: Can Superman still fly as a film franchise?

Hollywood's next Superman, a chiseled and charismatic Brit named Henry Cavill, will greet about 6,500 fans in the hangar-like Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center on Saturday as part of Warner Bros.' panel at the annual pop culture expo. The director of the upcoming Superman reboot, "Man of Steel," Zack Snyder, will show the first footage from the film that brings the "first and greatest" superhero of them all back to the screen in June 2013.

The studio has a handy way to remind people that Superman was the first of his kind - the movie arrives the same month as the character's 75th anniversary - but it may be harder to convince the Xbox generation that this icon of the Roosevelt era is still, in fact, great.

He might simply be too good for these times. Movie fans today seem to prefer bad boys like Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark - the actor will be on hand for the Marvel Studios Hall H presentation to promote the upcoming "Iron Man 3." His character is arrogant, decadent and has a corporate jet with a stripper pole - and that makes him a rebel with a crowd in today's popcorn scene, where Jack Sparrow, James Bond and Captain Kirk are kindred spirits.

In addition to the bad-boy tricksters, there are also the haunted, volatile loners (Batman, Wolverine, even Jason Bourne) and the misunderstood kids who become empowered underdogs (Spider-Man, Harry Potter, Sam Witwicky in the "Transformers" films). So, where does Superman fit in?

To Larry Tye, author of "Superman," the just-published Random House "biography" of the character and his creators, Superman's differences make him more powerful than ever. Tye predicts that "Man of Steel" is arriving just in the nick of time.

"It's precisely because we have so many dark heroes and fraught ones, that we're aching for a 'Big Blue Boy Scout' who knows right from wrong instinctually," Tye said. "If we look back at history we see that Superman does best when America is doing worst, like when he came to life in 1938, in the middle of the Great Depression and on the eve of World War II. It was an era much like ours, when the economy is teetering and we can't seem to extract ourselves from overseas conflicts."

But John Koukoutsakis, a merchant at Comic-Con who had no buyers Thursday for his FDR-era Superman memorabilia, said: "Superman is too wholesome. He's the character who plays by the rules. Who wants that? Everyone wants edgy heroes now."

Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the days of heavyweight heroes and global clarity about the forces of evil. In June 1938, the refugee from another planet landed at newsstands full of headlines about Joe Louis knocking out Max Schmeling, the German fighter who many feared would be taking the heavyweight championship home to Adolf Hitler.

With all the newsprint gray, the bright yellow-and-red cover of the inaugural "Action" issue seized young eyes - as did the blue-and-red figure who looked like a circus strongman or Hercules in long johns. The concept ricocheted around the globe. The hero quickly went up, up and away with a syndicated newspaper strip starting in 1939, radio series in 1940 and silver-screen serial in 1941.

In the decades since there have been many versions to choose from: Christopher Reeve and George Reeves, the Fleischer Bros. cartoons and "Smallville," Kirk Alyn in serials and Bob Holiday on Broadway.

The hero's last Hollywood mission, "Superman Returns" in 2006, was one of the most expensive films ever (the production budget was $270 million and marketing costs pushed it well north of $325 million) but its worldwide box office total was $392 million. That's far less than, say, "Iron Man," which cost $140 million and flew home with $585 million.

"Superman Returns" director Bryan Singer darkened the colors of the hero's suit and the tone of his world. The result gave the movie an uncertainty at the edges and stiffness at the center. The Singer movie was also a valentine to Richard Donner's version of the hero, which took flight in the 1978 smash starring Christopher Reeve. That film mesmerized a young Singer, and his movie was tied to it in startling ways (he re-used the John Williams score, added a cameo by Marlon Brando as Jor-El, etc.).

Tye says that was one bumpy flight in a long career.

"The lesson isn't that Superman is flawed but that somehow their film was," Tye said. "We'll see, of course, next summer. But Superman's handlers have had misses in the past ... and he's always managed to make them look good by coming back stronger."

In an interview last year, Snyder said if he makes mistakes they will be new ones.

"We're making a movie that finally goes with the approach that there's been no other Superman movies," Snyder said.

Cavill is the first non-American to play the hero in a major live-action film or TV project but, really, the character is the ultimate immigrant anyway, given his outer space origins. The native of the small island of Jersey off Normandy, France, is the muscular version of the hero, and Snyder's history of sinewy men of action in "300" promises that there will be nothing meek about this incarnation of the hero - except for Clark Kent, his alter ego, and even he gets something of a rugged makeover.

Grant Morrison, the Scottish comic book veteran who now writes Superman for DC, said the character needs a little John Wayne or Rocky Balboa in his heart. "The noble attempts to portray him as a Christ-like, American redeemer figure in 'Superman Returns' had the unfortunate effect of making him a limp and wimpy punch bag," Morrison said. "Superman is a highly principled hero, but he's no pacifist; he's a brawler who doesn't give in until he's dead or the bad guy's down."

Warner Bros. could use a heroic idea, especially now that Harry Potter has moved on from Hogwarts, and director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale are packing up their boxes in the Batcave with "The Dark Knight Rises," the final installment in their Gotham trilogy due out July 20.

"Man of Steel" has Nolan as a producer and he shares a story credit (with David S. Goyer). While their story is being kept under wraps, the film does begin on doomed Krypton and it adds new key elements to the mythology of that planet and baby Kal-El, who grows up to be Superman on Earth.

The cast is led by six Oscar nominees or winners: Amy Adams as Lois Lane; Michael Shannon as the ruthless General Zod; Russell Crowe as Jor-El; Laurence Fishburne as Perry White; and Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Kal-El's adoptive parents, the Kents.

Star Cavill understands the inherent risks of wearing the cape, but he believes that the character is rich and dynamic enough to win over a new generation of fans and strong enough to inject optimism into gloomy times.

"People can still look into the character of Superman and have polar opposite opinions about what he is and who he is," Cavill told the Los Angeles Times in an interview last year. "That's the wonder of mythology. We make the interpretations and hear the messages we want to hear."

If you're anywhere other than the San Diego Comic-Con right now, prepare to feel extremely envious. Following the Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures Hall H panel later today, Man of Steel star Henry Cavill and director Zack Snyder will be hosting a signing at the Warner Bros. booth on the show floor. Deadline exclusively reveals that they will be at booth #4535 at 5PM (hey, there's always eBay!). The studio has already confirmed that Snyder would appear on the panel alongside The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey director Peter Jackson and Pacific Rim director Guillermo Del Toro, although Cavill's appearance had been pure speculation up until this point. It is thought that the Man of Steel panel will last for 30 minutes, so it seems very likely that they'll be showing off some footage - or at least the teaser trailer - from the film.

TDKR initially had trailers at the theater, supposedly not yet available online. They also had their traditional 6-minute prologue which you supposedly could only see if you went to an IMAX theater. Nevertheless crappy bootlegs made their way online & in the case of the 6-minute prologue, people were even 'flipping the image'. But here's the thing. In either case, trailers or prologue, it wasn't hardly any time before official versions were online on Youtube & elsewhere.

ComingSoon.net have provided a description of the Man of Steel footage shown at this year's San Diego Comic-Con and what follows are the highlights from what was revealed during the Hall H panel. According to the site (and many other people who were in attendance whose reaction can be found below) The Man of Steel footage shown apparently looks totally different to past Superman movies. It was seemingly a combination of the teaser trailer (which has now been confirmed as being attached to The Dark Knight Rises) and Comic-Con exclusive content. Flashes of Smallville were shown, including the Kent farm house and a shot of a young Clark Kent running in a red cape. A grown up and bearded Clark is then shown walking on a snowy raod in an snowy town with a voice-over from Russell Crow's Jor-El (talking about children being, "inspired to greater things") and Kevin Costner's Jonathan Kent giving Clark advice on becoming the man he wants to be. Clark is then shown in the Kent barn looking at the spaceship he crashed to Earth in, and holding a small piece of metal with the "S" logo on it.

The footage then flashes to different periods in his life, showing him as a teenager saving a bus of children who have crashed in the water as he pulls the door off. "People are afraid of what they don't understand," says Costner as the scene transitions to Clark talking to what appears to be a holographic projection of Jor-El (although it apparently appeared as if they're standing right in front of one another). Superman is then finally shown in full costume. First from a distanc and then walking across a snowy landscape. The iconic superhero is shown flying and catching someone who falls from a building, with only a single flash of Lois Lane, before it shows Supes in costume and seemingly in handcuffs being led down a hallway by armed guards. Clark is shown in an elevator lifting glasses to his face, before the footage concluded with a shot of him shirtless and on fire and then being thrown into the bank fault first revealed in the image released last year. When the footage was shown a second time, it was also noted that it contains a very brief glimpse of Zod, Superman pulling himself out a pile of skulls, the military turning their weapons on him and a woman claiming to have seen him saving her child when he was a teenager.

Extended Man of Steel Teaser Brings Superman To Comic-Con
Written on July 14, 2012 by Brendon Connelly

We’ve just been treated to a Con-exclusive teaser for Man of Steel.

Surprisingly, the look of Zack Snyder‘s footage leans on the handheld, intimate look of something like a Bourne movie. Shots tended to focus on details, the camera operator tended to walk behind characters, or hold the shot loose. Snyder has tended towards a very different look before, so I wasn’t expecting this at all.

But beyond the look, what did today’s trailer reveal?

We saw several shots of a young Clark Kent. As a very young kid, he is seen playing outside of the Kent’s house, wearing a cape, running about and posing. As a teenager he’s seen saving a school bus of kids after it comes off a bridge and plunges into water.

I managed to get down most of the voice ver heard in the trailer. Here it is.

Jor-El asks “What if a child dreamed of beaming something other than what society had intended? What if a child dreamed of becoming something greater.”

An unknown woman says “My son was in the bus. He saw what Clark did” as we see footage of the school bus accident and Clark saving them.

A man say “People are afraid of what they don’t understand.” I think that was Jonathan Kent, and this next snippet definitely was. As Jonathan Kent unveils the craft that brought Kal-El to earth he says “It’s not from this world, Clark. And neither are you.”

A bearded Clark says “I have so many questions.” Clark meets his actual biological dad as an adult, which suggests that either Jor-El has survived, or when he appear to Clark in the fortress of solitude (or, I guess, wherever) he seems to be fully tangible.

Jo-El talks about the choice Clark has to make about who he’s going to be. Whoever [you'll be] Clark, good character or bad, it’s going to change the world.

Some shots showed Superman on fire. There’s a shot of him flying, catching somebody falling. We see him in cuffs, being led along by the military. He’s seen kissing Amy Adams as Lois Lane, while in his Clark guise, I believe.

We get to see Clark arrive at work at the Daily Planet, apparently just tucking something away in his bag, pulling out his glasses and slipping them on.

Snyder continued to deny the involvement of Zod in the film, to a comical extent even, but we see him in the trailer footage, just for a brief moment.

At the end of the trailer, Superman says of Jonathan Kent’s feelings on Superman:

He was convinced that the world wasn’t ready. What do you think?

Who is he asking? Lois? Kal-El? We’ll have to wait and see.

A shorter teaser trailer is to go wide later this week and play with The Dark Knight Rises. We’ll bring it to you here, of course.
