This is my favorite part of the "pre movie shooting". You can always tell because somebody will ask, "oh, can you tell us about Superman?" and the director/actor will smile like a jackass and say, "yeah, really excited about that. Should be loads of fun." and you can tell they don't have much planned yet. Good time.

Still not totally convinced with Snyder as The Man of Steel director, I teally would have rather Duncan Jones or even better James Mctiegue. But I trust in Nolan judge.

we all know this movie aint connected to the previous films cause it has been pointed out its a reboot. this interviewer should know this and Brandon Routh most likely aint coming back anyway.

I am so glad Snyder is directing this. Apparently the interviewer didnt know the term reboot too well.

if zack snyder follows these simple steps,we're onto a winner

1.the origin must be told in either the opening credits or the first 30 minutes.

2.we need a foe superman can punch i.e zod,brainiac,bizzaro,mongul,doomsday or darkseid.

3.keep it faithful to the comic universe & well away from smallville universe

4.casting superman it should one of these actors brandon routh,jim caviezel or henry cavill.keep tom welling well away.

@Superguy1591

they dont mean Jim Caviezel the guy who asked Zack Snyder could Jim for the next Superman. his talking about Jim Sturgess his the star in Zack Snyder new film "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" thats why he said Jim.

the lady thats next to Zack Snyder is his wife Deborah Snyder. Deborah Snyder is as film producer she produce all of Zack Snyder films.

@deadpool72

lets add on your list

5. no over the top slow-mo

6. introduce Cat Grant, Ron Troupe, Steve Lombard working at The Daily Planet

6. dont make Lex Luthor the main villain keep him a supporting character.

7. have Krypton different then Donner version of Krypton

8. less or no Kryptonite for now

Great find ED! I'm beyond relieved to know that this will have nothing to do with the past movies...his facial expression when asked about Brandon Routh is also very interesting! :P

2 things......I am going to pretend that I didnt see Jim Caviezal for Superman in the comments above and someone else excited about I honestly hope I was missing the sarcasim...lol......and 2 With CGI and movie making the way it is today it will not be very hard to make a "GOOD" Superman movie. The entire planet more or less has an idea of who Superman is and how he came to be! You can retouch up on that in a total of 10 to 15 mins of the start of the film. All everyone and anyone needs to see is a villain someone other then Luther he can be in it but not the Main villain. We need someone that can hit and hurt Superman not just the same old Kryptonite shit we always see. Give the us ACTION. Superman toe to toe with someone and have Lex being the brains behind the whole thing. I am willing to bet any amount of money that a new villian and an EPIC BATTLE would put new life into the franchise and set better BOX OFFICE NUMBERS THEN IRON MAN or DARK KNIGHT FOR THAT MATTER!!!................. Yeah u read that right, I said it......MAKE MORE MONEY THEN DARK KNIGHT.......umm just in case you guys didnt figure it out yet people went to the box office to see JOKER not BATMAN!!! THE VILLAIN MAKES THE MOVIE.......give me BIZZARRO and the world will be a better place

BRING ON BIZZARRO..........[frick] ZOD we need NEW EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! except Routh

ROUTH OR BUST!! Let him get in on this and fight either Braniac or Darkseid. I am always excited for anything Superman.

BruceWayneNewton - 10/10/2010, 7:08 PM
He was the best Superman we have had yet. He looks and fits the part. His Clark Kent isn't as foolish acting as most have been. You don't need to be an oscar winning actor to play a superhero. He is the perfect choice though. Go watch Superman Returns and point out a scene in which he doesn't make you believe he is Superman.

Obv Reeves was a great Superman but I hated his Clark Kent. Singer ruined Superman Returns, not Routh

if you want jim who 43

just get jon hamm who looks more like superman and is a better actor and is younger
NarutoParker
NarutoParker - 10/10/2010, 8:11 PM
all these suggestions seem too damn old, now I'll be honest I'm not a big supporter of Supes, so I don't know how old he was when he went to Metropolis and became Superman, but shouldn't he be younger then these old fogeys (Brandon Routh, Jim Caviezel?? And Jim Sturgess?? WTH what's with all these British guys stealin American Super hero roles...no I don't like Sturgess for this either...

The Routh debate is pretty moot now. He isn't going to be in the reboot. I will guarantee that. If they are going with the Birthright story, which still remains to be confirmed, then we are looking at a mid to upper twenties max actor.
