[Superman \S/]

Found this from comics2film.com and it states that Chew Chan's art will be seen in the opening credits of SR! looks like we will be seeing maybe somehat to explain what happened? Very interesting.....

It's mentioned next to the pic of Jor-el. Anyone know Chan's work? This is awesome. :supes:

[Kane]

Sweet. I like this concept/

[Superman \S/]

O you got a name change lol. I like the concept aswell. :up:

[Superman \S/]

Seems like it'll be similar to SM2. Credit wise that is.

[Mr. Thing]

Didn't they do this in Spiderman 2?

[Superman \S/]

Exactly what they did. Cept it'll be Chan drawing. I don't really know his work but i'm willing to find out. Should be great.

[Commander Shepard]

i guess this is it.

[Superman \S/]

O i see now. That's the art from the blogs. Interesting that it'll be displayed like this. I wonder if we'll see more images. Thanks karr-el.

[eXperiment]

cool

[SuperDaniel]

Its Shuster`s stlye for the oppening credits. Very nice!!

[SolidSnakeMGS]

No, it will be similiar to the beginning of SUPERMAN 1 back in '78 where they use comic book panels for story bits.

[SuperDaniel]

:rolleyes: Shuster, 30`s style....

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I'm sure many knew this, but according to wikipedia:

"The opening credits of this film will use a similar three-dimensional, "zooming" text style to the one used in the first two films."

[SuperDaniel]

Its going to be a recap of Superman I and II, i think...

[The Game]

yep, direct sequel :D

[Superman \S/]

Its going to be a recap of Superman I and II, i think...

Should be interesting.

You think they'll show pictures of Reeve? I was thinking just Routh.....No matter it would be cool if they had Reeve.

No..i should be more informative... what i mean is replacing scenes of the original two movies and inserting the new Actors to cover the original actors.

Does that make sense..like the helicopter scene now with Routh and Bosworth.

:up:

:up:

Makes perfect sense. :up: I think having the new actors would be great, and replacing them in the scenes that occured in the two movies would be something i'd like.

Nice post Robo. :supes:

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Well its nothing special..but thanks.


:up:

:up:

Are you serious? You want them to digitally superimpose Routh over Reeve's head for scenes from Superman TM, as well as other characters with the newer actors?

[Backdrifter]

Lame :down:

[DorkyFresh]

is this going to be DURING the opening credits or will this be BEFORE the opening credits? because remember...Superman: the movie also had a brief intro showing a comic book.

personally, i'm kinda hoping to see the credits zoom in from space like the originals.

[patrickbateman]

WHAT EVer happen to the opening with the walls of the fortress of solitude ? i remember some one saying they'd do a recap of it with cave painting ? may be on some other board i guess

[Superman \S/]

Well its nothing special..but thanks.


:up:

:)

No prob. :supes:

[Sverdlovski]

LOL, that was ryanraine... one of those BS "insiders"...

[Backdrifter]

Ah, ryanraine...the boards just arent the same without him.

[The Kid]

I hope he makes a little kid read the comics aloud like donner did. that was nice.

[skruloos]

Sounds like wishful thinking for Smallville: The Movie.

[Man-E-Toys]

Didn't they do this in Spiderman 2?
i dont see how this is the same as Spider-Man 2 which had alex ross paintings of exact stills from the movie, while Superman will have an actual comic book opening with comic text.

[crimefighter43]

I think some of you are jumping to conclusions again. I think the Chew art will basically just retell the origin of Superman in comic book form, not recap everything that happened in STM and S2. It's been said you wont have to watch STM or S2 to understand what's going on in this movie, that it will stand on it's own.

[SuperDaniel]

What about the pics that show Superman The movie in Shuster/30`s stlye art, from the same artist of the openning credits, in the blogs. Yes, it will be a recap of at least Superman the movie.

[Mentok]

Sounds like a Smallville fan that cant let go. I doubt they were ever going to use cave paintings at the start.

:up:

I think Singer went on record and said he wouldn't do that. I think I just read it in the new Wizard, but I might be wrong about where I heard it.

It is VERY similar.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Lame :down:

Yeah seems kind of...I dunno...unoriginal or something. But could be cool...depends on what this guy is drawing. I want the credits to pretty much cover the main points leading up to this film.

[Octoberist]

I don't know...It could be cool.

Now I seeing this movie as this... Homage, moreso than an actual full-out movie.

[Mentok]

It is VERY similar.

I would say its closer to the starting of the first Superman film.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

they are using comic book pictures?


:confused:

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

ok...i'm not getting through here...


according to new reports they will be comic book drawings..what i'm saying is they will "DRAW" Routh and Bosworth in the scene...nonething shot..it will be a drawing!

[Mentok]

I think the comic stuff only concerns baby Kal being sent from Krypton.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

^^

really?

Ok, thank god. But your wording was confusing. Usually when someone hears stuff like "replacing" and "inserting", they can't help but to think digital manipulation.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Yeah i'm sorry..i typed it pretty quickly...

had to get my lois and clark season 2

:up:

[Naite22]

I read in reports (which was taken down again I think) that the opening will feature a black and white intro set in the begining of the 40's or something..

We see three kids on a their bikes (summertime)... They are coming down a city road with stores on both sides.. Suddently the two of the kids make the third kid fall of his bike as they push him.. The two other kids continues down the road laughing.. The kid gets up, and reveals bruses on his legs. Right in front of him he sees a comic book store (named something I can't remember).. He stares at it for a few, and than reaches into his pocket pulling up a few dimes.. He walks over to the door, graps the handle and walks inside. A little bell rings as he walks through the door, as it had done for many years.. The store isn't that big.. On both sides of the kid there's shelfs of comic-books, and down at the end of the store, behind the counter, there's a middleaged man. He has a friendly smile as he looks at the kid glanzing at the comicbooks all displaced. The man behind the counter looks like the kind of man who had just barely survived the depression of the war, and found this holy comicbook store a place of strength (I think it was something along the lines of that!) The kid sees a comic book that stands out from the rest. This comic book is in colour, as everything else is black and white (remember that).. He takes it down looking at it as if it was something MORE than just a comicbook.. Slowly he walks over to the counter with his eyes staring at this comicbook.. He puts it down on the counter in front of the gentle man smiling. The kid looks up at the man who's giving him a satisfying look, as if he's agreeing that this very comicbook is something to pay close attention to.. They both look down at the comic book now, and as they do, we (the audience) zoom in on it for the first time, revealing the cover that shows something unbelievable. A man in a blue suit, with a flappering red cape and an 's' on the chest is holding a car over his head! On the right upper corner it reads June 1938.. We now see the kid turning the cover over, revealing the first page, as we zoom futher in.. We see the Daily Planet, and we zoom even furtherer in until the comicbook's pages are all that's within the frame..
Here we hear some text beeing read up for us (something along the lines of what was heard in STM).. Than we zoom into the night sky up towards the stars, and from there on the superman theme starts fading in, and the opening credits begin!

PS: The images within the comic-book are propobly the art of this Chan guy.. That's what I believe they mean when saying that his work will be featured in the film.. I dont think it'll be within the opening credits (similar to what they did for spidey2!).. The art will come before the credits open up.

[Captain Villa]

Any examples of his work ?

[bweurk]

bah, first the shirt ripping, then that?? Why are SUPERMAN movies always copying all the good ideas from the Spider-Man???




















yeah, i know you'll hate me for saying that

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

We could never hate you..

:)

[Topdawg]

i havent seen any of work of this guy .

Is he good?

[Captain Villa]

2 pages now and no sign of his work. :mad:

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

go and find it then.

:D

[Fatboy Roberts]

First return when typing in "Chew Chan" into google.

http://www.chaosgeneration.com/gallery/chew/

Pretty cake :) Although it appears he also goes by "W. Chew Chan" which might make searches a little easier.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

^^

:D

hahahahaha

[KrypJonian]

Meh, not really diggin his style.

Not for a movie's opening credits sequence, at least

[Captain Villa]

I totally agree with you.

[Fatboy Roberts]

I dunno about the dude. His art as seen in Bryan's Blogs looks nice and quaint enough if they're going to pretend it's a golden age comic book that some kid is reading--but on the other hand, that almost makes it sound like the opening credits sequence is going to COMPLETELY mimic the original 78 movies--and I'm not sure that's going to work all that well.

[dark_b]

this is chan? this dude was in teh blogs about teh storyboards.

http://www.chaosgeneration.com/gallery/chew/chew1bbw120.jpg

[ScottishFogg]

i like his style. he seems to have quite a range. i dig this idea, even if people will compare it to Spider-Man 2.

[The Kid]

Well it's more in line with the original donner film so those people can stfu.

Are they going to do superman with his original suit in it or the new one? I've noticed they say the new suit is good because it's been that way in the comics here and there yet all the story boards for the movie and concept art use the old suit and it looks fantastic.

[Superman \S/]

But isn't the pic of Jor-el that we saw in the blog his work?

[Metropolis_Man]

His art looks pretty good. Looks like it is probably going to be similar to the Donner opening. It'll be interesting to see what it finally looks like.

[explode7]

Well at leasty we know now how the opening credits is gonna look. *sob*

I guess the point brought up by Robocop is worth exploring. Is the new art going to only feature shots of Reeve from the first movie, but to made look more like Routh?

[Lazlo Panaflex]

The first two Superman movies never had comic book adaptations, maybe now would be nice.

[Metropolis_Man]

I guess the point brought up by Robocop is worth exploring. Is the new art going to only feature shots of Reeve from the first movie, but to made look more like Routh?

I would say that it would be the shots from the first movie but drawn to look like Routh, I guess so won't confuse people even more.
