Zack Snyder Feels "Super Awesome" Reviving Superman!

In the midst of the news that 300 & Watchmen director Zack Snyder, is in talks to helm the return of the last son of Krypton, Snyder recently chatted with Geoff Boucher of the LA Times.


“I feel awesome-I feel super awesome.” Snyder said earlier today. “I can’t say why they came to me other than the fact that they know I have a fondness for the character and a real desire to understand him and present him to a new audience,” Synder said. “The challenge is huge but you know with Chris and Emma and Debbie I have a lot of people I can rely on. And Chris and David have given this the shape with a great story. It is a hard character to crack."

“I think he is viable, yes,” Snyder said. “He endures. We all want to know, ‘How will he come to us now?’ He is the biggest and the baddest of them all. The greatest of them all, right? We all want to know how the next chapter takes shape. I want to know how it will take shape.”

Snyder says he met with Nolan at ShoWest in Las Vegas in March and their conversations about the possibilities of the Superman revival gathered momentum through the months.

And produced by Christopher Nolan, The Man Of Steel's script is written David Goyer, which is rumored to have, like "Superman Returns," a Richard Donner connection. And according to THR, in this movie's case, it's a villain connection: General Zod.

Expect to see the Man of Steel fly in theaters 2012!

he could make it work, but part of me is thinkin that he might make it a bit too geek-friendly that mainstream audiences wont appreciate it like watchmen

Zod would be cool. Well, anyone Superman could punch and not take their head off would be cool.

I'll bet he thinks this movie has that nice new Lambroghini smell all over it! ;P

some of my post on the other article is not appearing on the site whats happening

anyway aint Jonah Nolan also writting the script to this movie.

since Zack Snyder is directing the movie i guess Tyler Bates going to do the film score since both of them worked with each other all the time.

And i'm super excited he's doing it.

One thing is guaranteed with Snyder and that is ACTION. We'll finally get to see Supes in an epic live action brawl.

One thing's for certain: this will NOT be the snore-fest that Superman Returns turned out to be.

Anyone know what the new restrictions on the character are? I thought they were forbidden from doing anything with his origin including talking about the planet KRYPTON. How will they build the backstory for ZOD with the restrictions in place?

I'd prefer BRAINIAC over ZOD anyday!
secretasianboy
secretasianboy - 10/4/2010, 4:51 PM
Braniac should be the villian
THIS WILL BE SO AWESOME
Hawksblueyes
Hawksblueyes - 10/4/2010, 4:54 PM
Talontd: Zod isn't confirmed and there is no need for a backstory with Superman. Most people who have never picked up a comic know he came here from an exploding planet called Krypton.
Talontd
Talontd - 10/4/2010, 4:59 PM
Nah, i know that @HAWKS, but how do you build a backstory for ZOD without mentioning KRYPTON?

Let's just hope he's not the villian, I JUST WANNA SEE HIM FACE SOMEONE NEW!
Hawksblueyes
Hawksblueyes - 10/4/2010, 5:02 PM
I'm with you there. Personally I never cared for Zod at all.

@Talon If I remember right the conditions of the cort rulling was that they had to make a movie or certain aspects of the character goes back to the Shusters.

The Man of Steel

Directed by Zach Snyder
Written by David Goyer
Produced by Christopher Nolan

E P I C W I N

Now the only concern I have is the acting and his suit.

jazzman - 10/4/2010, 5:14 PM
really hope its not Zod we already seen him already we need some new.

@fanboiii

what about the film score
Superman8
Superman8 - 10/4/2010, 5:16 PM
good news, good news, and more good news.

Snyder= action and cool visuals. CHECK

Donner= classic. what we all loved about Superman 1 and 2. CHECK

Zod= a good opponent. someone he can punch. also, gives him a good connection to krypton, jor-el, all that good stuff. CHECK

Only better news could be that theyre gonna give Routh another shot.

@jazzman lol true. hopefully nolan will make sure its instrumental in case znyder picks some emo song
Superman8
Superman8 - 10/4/2010, 5:20 PM
@ jazzman

so what if we've seen him before. we saw the joker before TDK. and before ledger's performance, i think most people thought nicholson did a fine job. ledger was that much better to alot of people. some even say it is one of the greatest performances, period. what if they writers decided not to use the joker because we already saw him before? we all woulda missed out on one hell of a performance.

i can understand you not wanting zod, but you cant use the 'we've already seen him' reason.

They should make the next film end at a cliffhanger where Supes battles Doomsday and dies. In the next film, he comes back.

I also think that they should retell the backstory where Clark is a sickly boy until after highschool/puberty because his alien body is having a hard time getting used to Earth. This would explain why he wears eyeglasses and would explain why no one from Smallville recognizes him. I think Superman Returns kind of tried this with the earthling/krypton, Superman's son.

I also think that WB should suck it up and pay the rights to the creator's family so they can there are no limits and do a suitable reboot.

Ugh, I'd rather they not go down the Superman Returns route of paying too much homage to the past...I'd rather see Snyder's unique take on the character. Can he tone down his violent style, stay faithful to the comic books and appeal to the regular movie goer? There's a lot of pressure on the guy!
jazzman
jazzman - 10/4/2010, 5:49 PM
@fanboiii

i really hope its not some emo song lol

if its all instrumental that would be great.

@dbapz

Han Zimmer would be epic

@Superman8

yes we all know they used The Joker in the second movie TDK. Batman Begins they used different villians.

Superman has so much more villians out side of Zod i.e.

- Brainiac
- Metallo
- Darkseid
- Mongul

really dont want to see this reboot as a Donner tribute movie like what Bryan Singer did with Superman Returns. Donner did his version of Superman and thats a classic and i do believe Zack Snyder going to make his own style of Superman movie and it will be epic.
