All Things Superman: An Open Discussion - - - - Part 13

[charl_huntress]

No problem, non-spoiler section now up.

Thanks again, Hunter!

This movie better be the best looking film next year period.It better be perfect.They been in post production about 8 months now.The film come out june 14.They have another 8 months.

No, they've had a bit more than that. Snyder edited the scenes on set with David Brenner, and sent them to the CGI houses to begin work during filming (which started August 2011). So barring reshoots, the post-production will have taken over 16 months to complete... provided the film will be rated by December or earlier.

Seems like a very generous length of time for Snyder to hone his cut, and get the CGI shots perfected without overspending.

I just wonder when WB will confirm or deny MOS getting the 3D post-production treatment. I mean, it's going to be in IMAX too, might as well squeeze out every dollar you can.

 

[Herolee10]

Aside from the character development within this film, I really hope that this film delivers in establishing on what a Superman film should be like in general when it comes to its action sequences. It's amazing that the character has gone on for this long without having been allowed the opportunity to really take advantage of not only everything that he can do, but the types of villains that he has that doesn't involve Lex.

Hell, with Birthright and Earth 1 having already gone there in their origin takes, I really do want a large scale alien invasion angle in this film, especially if Zod and Faora have a legion of aliens at their disposal.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Okay so now that this is the spoiler section, i'm gonna post my list of everything I can think of that we know. If anyone can think of anything else please say, cause i'm trying to keep a record. (I haven't included some obvious things like the official description and scenes from the trailer/comic con footage descrip, but i'm obviously aware of them).

Spoiler

Looking at casting info we know:

- The Main cast is as follows: Henry Cavill as Superman, Russell Crowe as Jor-el, Ayelet Zurer as Lara, Michael Shannon as Zod, Antje Traue as Faora, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy, Richard Schiff as Dr. Emil Hamilton, Harry Lennix as General Swanwick

- We also have scenes with Clark, Lana, Pete and Whitney Fordman at (according to IMDB) age 13 and Clark at 9.

- If other IMDB listings are correct (big if), then we also have Steve Lombard in the cast (Michael Kelly) and Tahmoh Penikett (BSG, Dollhouse) listed as Henry Ackerdson (previously listed as Emerson). Also Alessandro Juliani (Dr Hamilton from later seasons of Smallville) as Sergeant Sedowsky and David Paetkau (cameo in early Smallville episode) as a Threat Analyst. There are also a few of minor characters listed as 'train mom, train girl, train dad', so we can assume something happens on a train (which could either correlate with pictures of filming at 'Metropolis Central Station' or the report that there is a scene in Smallville where a train is run through a Sears Store)

Interviews/tidbits:

- In an interview, Julian Richings (who plays Death in Supernatural) said he was playing a kryptonian and had scenes with Jor-el and Zod. He said it was a setting the size of a hockey arena surrounded by green screen, and that it was on krypton.

- Richard Schiff (Dr Hamilton) confirmed he has scenes with Amy Adams and Chris Meloni.

- We know from Russel Crowe's tweets that he does indeed have a fight scene with Michael Shannon. He also said he was 'trying to save a planet here'.

- David Goyer has said that his 'aha' moment came when reading Secret Origins, when Clark is first told of his origins by his father and says 'I don't want to be different, I want to be Clark Kent. I want to be your son'. He says Geoff Johns stories have been an advantage to him as a screenwriter.

From set pics:

- There appears to be a tornado scene in Smallville. However, as there also appears to be a lot of action between Zod and Faora (and speculation about third spotted mo cap man) and the military, it is unclear what 'damage' pictures correlate to which disaster. We have a lot of pictures of damaged vehicles (truck impaled on log sticks out in my mind ), buildings etc, but they could be caused during either scene/scenes.

- Superman gets thrown into a bank vault by someone/something.

- Clark is at some point in full Superman suit on the kent farm, as is what looks like Michael Shannon in one image next to the Kent farm where there is a truck/trailer coming out of the building, and one more mo cap man at same scene.

- At some point, a gas station is destroyed in Smallville

- There is a fight scene involving Faora and an unknown man in a mo cap suit, with a stick on his head (so obviously a big dude, whether it turns out to be Zod in some kind of armour and it was just easier for a stunt double to film those scenes, or an unknown character)

- There is a lot of military presence in Smallville

- At some point there were reports of smoke machines being used in scenes in Chicago, to fill the streets with smoke.

- Clark will at some point be dressed like a hobo, with a full beard, in an Alaskan fishing village. He also sports an apron in a few pictures.

- Amy Adams also appears to have scenes in that setting.

- There is some kind of disaster on what looks like an oil rig, that a shirtless, bearded Clark attempts to save workers from.

- Both Russel Crowe and Henry Cavill where pictured at a Dive Training place.

- There is a scene including Superman, Lois, Faora, Chris Meloni and some other military characters that happens in the desert. Unconfirmed reports say it involves Faora negotiating with the military to hand over Superman and then Lois Lane as well on Zod's orders.

- A picture of a gravestone with JK's name on seems to indicate he dies in this film (unless it's some sort of dream?)

From a leaked call sheet:

Descriptions of scenes on Krypton:

- Jor-el swims up to the central hub, retrieves Codex, alarms go off, dives back under

- Lara touches Jor-el's armor where someone's sword/energy lance went through

- Two unclear scenes that involve Jor-el and something to do with Kelex.

- Jor-el and Lara say goodbye to baby Kal-el

- Codex is infused into the ships heart

- Ship's pod closes and it goes into the air, with Jor-el and Lara watching below.

Another scene revealed in the leaked call sheet info involved an altercation in a bar. We have a character called Ludlow, Chrissy and Weaver. Generally the scene is described as a rowdy bar with live music and beer being thrown around. It has been said that Clark will be confronted by Ludlow and have to keep his anger in check.

From the WB Tradeshow:

- Pics of: Jor-el with a battlesuit and some kind of rifle, Zod with rifle, Zod being shackled around the neck and hand, Zod in a prison structure called the Black Zone that floats and is also a transport vehicle. Guards patrol the rooms. The Black Zone over the Metropolis skyline, a scout ship of Jor-el's that landed in the arctic, with supes suit inside (artwork of the cock pit was also shown). A key that activates the ship.

Rumours:

- A rumour stated that Kal-el is a lost Kryptonian prince prophesised to save the world.

- There is a rumoured scene of the Kents taking a kid Clark in to a hospital for a check up, and windows smashing when he let out a super cry.

nice job HD!

Never saw the trade show stuff. Are there pics?

 

[DoomsdayApex]

t:

I can't wait for that moment when...

Spoiler

Kal-El uncovers the suit. I wonder how it'll go down, and how the cape will come into play. Nano-tech? Bio-tech? Etc..

 

[Micromind]

I guess that Kal El's baby blankets will serve the function of Cape.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

nice job HD!

Never saw the trade show stuff. Are there pics?

Unfortunately not

 

[Dr.]

nice job HD!

Yes.

Also… there was a photo of a DP newspaper clipping/prop by Lois Lane. She reports about a mysterious illness (in Smallville?… possibly related to meteorites…?).

(Since this is now in the “spoiler” sub-forum, I assume tags are unnecessary…)

 

[Kane52630]

Look at hopefuldreamer being all informative, nice work. I had fun reading it.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I can see that happening, but Zod is gonna mock the hell out of Kal-El during battle.

"Ahem... Y-You've got... drool and formula stains on your cape, Superman."

I did see that, but as I was reading the bit of the article you can see, I couldn't see an actual mention of meteorites being the cause. Just a story about a women who is sick.

Though yeah, logical assumption

Just speculation on my part. The article is called “Heaven Above, Earth Below” - which is slightly odd for a typical “mysterious illness” story (say, abnormally high rates of cancer near a factory or some such). Plus - there’s a photo of a hand holding a black substance. (Black meteorite? Black kryptonite? Black Zone? Black Zero? t

Not really.All spiolers piont to Clark getting a ready made suit from Krypton not a homesown baby blanket suit.The suit coomes from krypton and clarks getting from the fotress.

I think you forgot this one.

Spoiler

Last night at a VFX conference there was a sizzle reel shown by Weta. In this sizzle reel there were two beta level (most likely from a trailer) clips shown. One only about 6 seconds long, the other much longer.
The former was Clark Kent grabbing a truck with a crying man inside of it while flying through the middle of a tornado. It looked incredible. Henry Cavill can fly, and he can hold a truck in one arm. Zack Snyder brings his usual visual flair, but somehow is still unlike anything he has made before. It felt like a Superman comic. Real heroism.
The longer clip was even more stunning.The clip consisted of Superman in full costume with Zod in the center of Smallville with Christopher Meloni yells at them through a megaphone next to a tank. Meloni warns them he will fire if they do not surrender. While he says this Zod [played by Michael Shannon] sizes Superman up. Shannon looks evil as he can be. Bone chilling even.Cavill’s Superman is a wonderful sight to behold in motion. Cavill’s pure size makes him the most believable Superman to date. Zod speaks in Kryptonian “Do you know your native tongue, Kal-el?” Superman looks stunned, and responds in English, “Who are you?” (there isn’t enough Superman dialogue to judge Cavill’s performance fairly, but I’d say he did well. Nothing spectacular from this clip.) Meloni curses, then into a walkie talkie orders the tank to fire. Superman hears this and turns to the tank. Zod takes this opportunity to sucker punch Superman ,then when the tank fires Superman rushes in front of Zod, despite the punch and catches the exploding missile near his stomach. The flames ripple around him, hit his face, his cape, his eyes. The shrapnel hits him and bounces off. The same happens to Zod to a lesser extent. Meloni’s shocked expression when they remain standing, silhouettes in a cloud of smoke, ends the clip.

Oh lawdy yes

 

[BestGirl]

Preachy? In what sense?

Well... it was a teaser. I don't remember Inception's or The Dark Knight's teaser causing an uproar of excitement either.

...Because they were teasers.

Just look at Crowe's lines in the teaser:

You will give them an ideal to strive towards, they will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall...but in time they will join in the sun, in time you will help them accomplish wonders.

First of all, how does Jor-El know Kal-El is going to turn out this way? Not to mention the fact that it makes Superman sound like the untouchable, unrelatable, perfect goody two-shoes he's always deriding as being. He's a good guy but I hope the script doesn't lay it on too thick. We need to see that Clark is someone we ought to emulate, not be told that.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I still fail to see anything remotely preachy about Jor-El's hopes for Kal-El.

What you call unrelatable and pompous, I call character-driven. Jor-El has sent Krypton's last son to Earth (in hoping that he'll lead the human race to a new era). Now, how does Jor-El know Clark will be 'good'? He doesn't, but did that stop the Samurai from teaching their offspring of Bushido? No.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

I still fail to see anything remotely preachy about Jor-El's hopes for Kal-El.

Same here. Just don't see it.

 

[superhero#1]

I just wonder when WB will confirm or deny MOS getting the 3D post-production treatment. I mean, it's going to be in IMAX too, might as well squeeze out every dollar you can.

They won't confirm it until a few months before the movie come out.

I was specifically referring to the cape.

I know that the Superman's suit is of made of Kryptonian tech and I am happy with that, since I always supported the idea that suit should be of alien origin, that reflects the way Kryptonians dressed.

I never liked the idea that Ma Kent made a suit of Kal El's baby blankets.

But, Goyer always finds a way to include some elements from past and present Superman Mythos (and comics) into his script, so it is possible that Cape be made of baby Kal El's blankets, and I wouldn't be against the idea.

It's just a speculation, we will know for sure when we see the movie.

I could totally see that

 

[Herolee10]

Assuming if my understanding of a Producer's role is to secure money and funding for the given project, I would think that with the success that Nolan has achieved with his own films, that he'd be able to secure a good amount of money for the film's production budget.

Honestly, I'd hope for a film like this to have a $205-$210 million dollar budget, especially if they're doing a full scale alien invasion with Zod's Black Zero ship hovering over Metropolis and his alien mercenaries aiding him in his conquest.

I mean, I think I may be spoiled from the likes of the Avengers or even with the Birthright or Earth One origin but I'd really like to see Superman tackle something that large in scale for the climax.

When I see this film, I honestly don't want to have the feeling like I've had with a good amount of other films where I can tell that they could have gone bigger in scale, but that the budget prevented them from doing that; case in point, with Thor 1 and the small town sequence.

 

[Zionite1]

Just look at Crowe's lines in the teaser:

I have the same worry-I hope Jorel is not giving Clark some prophecy crap in this movie because Im tired of that.Supes should be supes out of choice not because of a prophecy.

I get what youre saying but i honestly cant see how that wld Clark obtain a capeless suit from the fort and then choose to have his baby blanklet added as a cape.Why?Its established Kryptonians wear capes,so the Super suit should already have it-and if it doest I cant see why clark wld choose to add it especially using his blanky.
