MAN OF STEEL
What is it?
Man Of Steel is an upcoming reboot movie of the comic book hero Kal El/Clark Kent, or as he is better known: Superman. Superman is an alien sent to Earth after the destruction of his home planet, Krypton. On Earth he has an array of powers a human being could only dream of, such as flight and super strength. Raised by an adoptive Earth couple (The Kents), Kal is given the new name Clark and hides his super alter-ego.
Man Of Steel will be an origins tale, in which it tells the story of how Clark Kent became the hero Superman. The movie will see him fight against a fellow Krytonian, General Zod, in order to save the Earth.
Who's involved?
After the success of the recent Dark Knight trilogy, many fans were glad to hear director Christopher Nolan had been assigned to the role of producer. Behind the pen, with job of writer is David S. Goyer. Goyer has been a writer for Nolan's Batman movies as well as up the coming Godzilla (2014). Director's chair belongs to Zack Snyder, who is known for his darkly shot movies 300 and Sucker Punch. He is also the man behind the movie adaption of Watchmen, another comic-book/movie adaption. In terms of comic/movie geekery knowledge, this is a dream team.
In front of the camera, the movie will star Henry Cavill as the leading man. Cavill has starred in an arrays of big screen and small screen roles such as Stardust, The Tudors and The Cold Light Of Day. Fun Fact - he had originally auditioned for the role of Nolan's Batman but lost out, only because he was too young for the role. This can only be a good thing now!
Amy Adams (The Muppets) will play the love interest Lois Lane, a reporter who works with Clark Kent.
The ruthless General Zod will be played by Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire, Take Shelter).
Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner will be on hand to play the father roles of Jor El (Krypton Dad) and Jonathon Kent (Earth Dad), with Diane Lane playing Earth mother Martha Kent.
When's it out?
It's set for release on the 14th of June 2013.
