Kuro is gonna find a way to dislike this film.
I want it to be as close to the comics as possible, and when I mean "the comics", I mean the Superman comics that count-1938-1986.
You might as well give up and just skip the movies from here on out then.I want it to be as close to the comics as possible, and when I mean "the comics", I mean the Superman comics that count-1938-1986.
Any ideas what these scenes are intended to be?"Autumn Frost will film in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island from early September through to the end of January 2012," Rino Pace, locations manager for production company Third Act Productions Inc., wrote in a letter to Ucluelet council.
"We have been preparing the film since early spring, which includes building 'sets' in the various 'stages' in and around the Vancouver area..." Pace said Ucluelet has the "look" the directors and production designer envisioned.
While in Ucluelet, filming will take place on land owned by a local First Nation and on a municipal street, and the town will play the role of a small, Alaskan fishing village. Filming will also take place on the ocean and at an industrial dock.
With 4 months of shooting, I guess they're building sets and doing most of the interior shooting here. Then doing some outdoor stuff in a "Alaskan fishing town" at which Clark will stop on his journey to find/build the FoS? Just throwing out speculation.FoS?
Sorry, didn't mean to imply that they are building sets in the 4 month time span. Just that 4 months is a lot of time to spend in a small Alaskan fishing town, so the rest of the time must be spent filming inside in built out sets.If they are smart the sets should have already been built. This production is starting to sound like it's over 200 million based on how long this shooting schedule is. It's gonna push 8 months.

I agree with some of your views regarding this movie and certain changes but disagree with the highlighted statement. I think every era of Superman in the comics counts as each one has added something new to the mythos.

I know what ya mean, though I understand when certain changes are made on film.
To be honest, I wish I felt the same way about this film as I did back in 2004-2006 when I was waiting for Superman Returns to come out.
Back then I couldn't have been more excited or giddy like a little kid with anticipation for the movie to premiere. Unfortunately, I have felt none of that with Man of Steel. My interest in this project has almost completely dissipated with the creative choices they've made. As a lifelong Superman fan I cannot tell you how much that saddens me.
Sweet, they're filming in Vancouver soon, my city. I'll keep an eye out.
Just got back from a Drive screening, when they played the Immortals trailer, I heard a lot people talking about superman and how "cool" the star(people still don't know him name it seems) is.
bingo!!! me feel the same. maybe we were still burnout by the last experience. somehow i feel like it doesn't offer anything new, story wise. and the new things they offer, i can't appreciate them.I know what ya mean, though I understand when certain changes are made on film.

better than none i guess.Once you realize that this movie is being made because of the lawsuit and not for anything even approaching artistic or creative reasons, you can take it for what it is-product.
1938-1986 are the years when Superman evolved but stayed true to the basic principles of his creators intentions. From 1986-2011, the character has been what is best described as lost. Occasionally the real Superman would shine through-a Kingdom Come here, a Birthright or All-Star Superman there, but for the most part, Superman wandered lost, a shadow of his former greatness.

How on earth is the costume we have any more realistic than the classic version?The costume alone makes it seem like they're going "realistic,"

Why does he need to realise that? If that's what he wants from a Superman movie, that's his right. He doesn't need to lower his standards for anything.You need to realise that these 200 million dollars films are not made just for us comic book fans. We make up about 10% of the audience (if that). It's simply not very good business sense to cater just to comic book fans.
The sooner you accept this maybe you'll enjoy yourself more.

That's not what I was implying.Lower his standards? That would suggest that comic books, axiomatically, represent a higher standard of collected narratives. Ive never been convinced that thats true.
