No...go read the past 6 pages or however many it's been. The website went live accidentally while getting ready for December 4th. It's a placeholder

This is what the download link brings up now

[G.Godfrey]

Can't wait till the 4th when it turns out the CC poster is not just a placeholder but is in fact, the reward.

[Mako]

Yea.. I doubt that.

[AnneFan]

That's got to be a placeholder. The purpose of a countdown is to offer something new, surely.

[Rust]

Damn, there's some serious drama and whining in here over pretty much nothing right now. You guys seriously think they'd re-release the CC-poster on the 4th? I know your trust in WB may be all over the place, but damn... pour some cold water on it, will ya?

This marketing thing and the recent activity on that counter has been somewhat messy from WB's side, and I cant imagine it's intentional either.

But yeah, of course we'll get something new in a few days. I cant believe some of you think we wont. And I wouldnt be surprised if it was in fact the CC-footage.

[G.Godfrey]

After all the s**t WB throws our way, seeing people still this optimistic is...heartwarming.

Anyway, here is more (or rather less) about MOS from Nolan:

"It's pretty amazing what [Zack Snyder] has taken on and I think people are going to be thrilled. There's a lot of finishing to do, there's a lot of complexity going on, but I think that it will be thrilling."

The last part caught my eye. Suddenly that July tweet from the Slashfilm dude about MOS being a mess doesn't seem so far fetched anymore. Hopefully they manage to put it together and not screw the film up in the editing room. Happens all too often. And I hope Nolan isn't involved in this process.

Well, I just hope that whatever the Poster is..that it was worth it.

So much for us thinking this movie would pretty well be finished by Snyder at this point and be on to just final embellishments.

I wouldn't read too much into that quote though. Even if we don't have much else.

Well, if the movie got postponed a full 6 months, I can only imagine involved companies such as WETA have moved their schedule as well in favor of more immediate projects.

I was at Comic-Con and have a journalist friend who heard about that negative 'Man of Steel' rumor. The problem is that there's no real weight in the rumor and where it originated. It became a game of telephone at the Con and that's why this rumor never made to the front page of any movie site.

Normally a site like Latino Review would report ASAP but be on it or even touch on it; there would the usual double fact checking with other sources went but it we t no where I suppose.

I think even Peter of Slashfilm was probavly doubting the rumor himself thus him deleting it. OR WB threatened everyone, lol! It was just weird thing that happened and now it's barely remembered.

Maybe its because of the 3D conversion I wouldn't worry about it I'm sure the FX guys are done.

I would expect thats the reason. Production wrapped in January, leaving year and 5 months of post-production.

That time is probably split 65/35 between editing and conversion. Thats alot of time for both.

As far as the VFX go, they typically start early in the production and work as more footage comes in. So considering the timeframe and what we saw of it in the SDCC trailer, we'll be more than fine on that front too.

Overall, they have more than enough time to perfect this.

I just checked the countdown site again. Not only is the SDCC poster still showing as the reward, but the share buttons for it are now fully functional.

I think we can safely say at this point that the SDCC poster is the “reward”.

Cue the freakouts.


EDIT: I checked it again and now they are directing but before it took me to a login page. (I checked the FB and Twitter buttons”.

[Hunter Rider]

In the top right hand corner of the page at that link it says "Reward unlocked, Man of Steel exclusive poster, get it now."

[G.Godfrey]

The file names for the poster and the right corner reward item end with: ver=2 , which means they have more than one item for use as the reward.

I think its time for some hacking. Unfortunately I can't right now.

[kal-el1990]

If the SDCC poster is the "reward" then that's a joke!

Someone hack in and get this version 2! Where's Braniac when you need him?!

[UaalaDan]

The download link below the CC poster gives u the collage of all the people that shared!

[FilmNerdJamie]

That's clever.
