The minute you put superman in a two way mirror situation, you're bound to get a great scene.
Period.
 
Jor-El has never been this badass before. :awesome:
 
interesting also the Jor-El image with Lois. Gonna be interesting watching the "hologram" simulation having to stand by and guide but not physically help in these scenes...unless they do a Voyager style doctor where he can manipulate items within the space....
 
Looks like Lois Lane has a healthy amount of stuff to do in the third act. At least she won't be whimpering in the corner with a dumb kid.
 
For those who can't see the Canada interview: A full transcript, with a few words omitted here and there, but all the ideas there. Plus commentary in brackets ;)

Video starts
Trailer 4 plays

VO: He is the super-director behind MOS.Zack Snyder!!
Host: People are watching this stream all around the world-for you.

Zack Snyder- (affably and bashfully) It's crazy.

Host: I saw this film yesterday, and wasn't allowed to talk about it, it was really frustrating.
BUT I LOVED IT!!!!!

Zack Snyder: Awesome.

Host: There's a lot of pressure to resurrect Superman on the big screen. [No duh]

Zack Snyder: Well, I think that Superman-I'm a bit of a fan, so-an opportunity for me to direct is kind of a dream come true.
I was VERY excited, a little pressure, but REALLY fun.

Host: And we know and love your cinematic style ESPECIALLY for this big and epic fight scenes in films like 300, and the one you're working on, and Watchmen.
So you handled this in a VERY poetic way, almost like ballet, it was beautifully choregraphed. Great fight scenes.
So what was the challenge in finding the Superman IN Henry Cavill, he has the substance, and beauty of this.

ZS: Uh.. We did tests in the normal way, using a lot of different actors, but when we got Henry, he was what we wanted.
We put him in the old Christopher Reeve suit, SPANDEX-and NOBODY looks good in spandex. NOBODY-Maybe a couple of people, but HE puts on the suit, and instead of dressup UP LIKE Superman, he IS Superman.
That's the difference.

Host: You shot a lot of this in Vancouver?

ZS: Yes, Vancouver, plus some of the stuff in the Arctic, and the fishing boat, most of these parts aren't outside of Vancouver.

Host: We know what Chris Nolan did to the Batman franchise, and comparisons are inevitable, do you think fans should be comparing what you're doing TO the new Batman franchise. [That question is cringeworthy, do you'd think he'd say in sarcasm-mode: "Yes, our story's so grounded that he needs a suit to fly."
ZS: Only that it’s a modern rendition of the story. Everyone’s kind of USED to Superman in a way, like – I know what Superman is!-and what we were able to do is say “What about this way of looking at him?”
And kind of make him more modern and relatable-I don’t know. It’s hard to talk about him in those terms, like, oh did you make him MODERN-what does that mean?” We just tried to make him COOL, I don’t know if that’s “modern.”
Host (gushing): Loved Amy Adams, Loved Micheal Shannon as the villain, how quickly did this supercast come together?
ZS: It strangely came together pretty easily..and effortlessly. I think there’s power in these icons. Asking Amy Adams to be Lois Lane-that’s cool.
Host-indistict-
ZS: Even Laurence Fishburn as Perry White-he’s like “Of course I’ll do that!” that’s cool.
Host: I’m superstoked because I’ll get to talk to you in LA this weekend about MOS, with you and the whole cast. Have they seen the movie?
ZS: Yes, they’ve seen it, and they’ve had a good time.
Host: How do feel about the feedback about the trailers, the first which was more stoic, and the second with all cylinders firing?
ZS: We enjoyed giving it out SLOWLY. We hoped that people would understand the tone of the movie, that maybe it wasn’t a typical summer blockbuster but there’s a lot of heart in the movie, and that Superman’s gonna punch some people, but there’s a lot of character.
Host: You’ve taken this to a whole other level, it’s a beautiful cinematic experience, you did so much justice to that stuff. Is it true that you’re fusing Superman and Batman together in the most epic superfight [wth] Superhero flick?
ZS: (Laughs maniacally out of excitement at the thought.) I’ve never heard that, but that sounds awesome!! I did not know that![..right]
Host: That’s what they were saying. MOS arrives in theatres June 14, blahblahblah..
Video Ends-

My thoughts. He should absolutely do World's Finest. His look of excitement never faded once that subject was brought up. Also, he said that the trailers were honest. Which is hyping me even more than I already was.
 
Trying to record with screen capture software but the playback is very choppy. Thanks to those trying to share the love. :yay:
 
by the looks of it zod and his merry men cart fly on earth. maybe kal el can fly on earth because he was naturally born while zod and his gang werent. maybe?
 
Psh of course Snyder's heard of the rumor. What universe does he live in where that is a brand new talking point? After the lead star of his movie just said a week ago he wants to see that happen, a few months ago the screenwriter of his movie said Snyder would be good for Justice League which depends on MOS. Unless poor Zack Snyder is kept out of the loop all the time, he's playing the denial game.

Yeah, he's not very good at it. :D
 
Thanks for the transcript Coco!

Love this quote: "We hoped that people would understand the tone of the movie, that maybe it wasn’t a typical summer blockbuster but there’s a lot of heart in the movie, and that Superman’s gonna punch some people, but there’s a lot of character."
 
Thanks for the transcript!

heck yes, to a World's Finest movie instead of a JL! :D

I loved this part:

ZS: We enjoyed giving it out SLOWLY. We hoped that people would understand the tone of the movie, that maybe it wasn’t a typical summer blockbuster but there’s a lot of heart in the movie, and that Superman’s gonna punch some people, but there’s a lot of character.​
 
Any idea about how ticket pre-sales are going? BFI IMAX just added 3 extra shows to the opening weekend schedule. 2 at 3:50AM and 1 at Sunday midnight.

Universal Citywalk in LA added an IMAX show at 3:00AM as well.
 
New TV spots are getting my all emotional again.

I just... all the footage we've seen so far is incredible. But some of it just makes me feel so blessed as a fan.

I'm just so incredibly grateful :)
