All Things Superman: An Open Discussion

[Showtime]

If they are filming in Vancouver, I am sure if they are shooting on location they will just use a farm there. Wouldn't make sense to film in Kansas.

If not they can build it on the sound stages at Canadian Motion Picture Park Studios and use green screen to expand.

The other wild card which could be interesting is, if I remember correctly, they took apart and saved the entire farm set up from Superman Returns.

I'll admit I'm kind-of America-centric when it comes to Superman casting and locations; but Vancouver looks a lot like how Metropolis is usually portrayed in the comics, so I think it's a good place to film.

The Silver Age was awesome and all the SA-haters need to lighten up!

Silver Age Superman sucked. I've read as much as I could. I've read all the Showcases. Let's just say Marvel had a much better 50's and 60's than DC did. Way fewer Turtle Boys and annoying Lois plots there. Though DC did really start to get it together in the 70's, I will give them that.

Silver-Age Superman was awesome. More space-faring adventures, introduced characters like Brainiac, Supergirl, Bizarro, the Legion of Super Heroes, etc. It was rad, though I guess you need a sense of humor to enjoy it.

Let's just say Marvel had a much better 50's and 60's than DC did.

This is the second time you've lumped the '50s and the '60s together. They're two completely different decades, especially where Marvel is concerned. Marvel wasn't even putting out superhero stories in the '50s. It was mostly generic westerns and monsters.

Edit: At some point, they DID revive Cap, Submarriner and Human Torch, but it didn't last too long.

Way fewer Turtle Boys and annoying Lois plots there.

Meh, not really. Neither side had a monopoly on silly ideas. Of course, being an actual fan, I can find that stuff charming. If I was a poser or something, I'd probably be like, "oh! This is so stupid! I can't read this! Oh the pain! The pain of it all!"

Though DC did really start to get it together in the 70's, I will give them that.

Oh, they "had it together" long before Marvel. Again, Marvel was really languishing in the '50s when DC had the only real superhero stuff out there.

You not happening to like it is, well, irrelevant.

I think they will use sound stages and green screen effects. Remember, the way Snyder filmed the field sequences when the Persian messengers were riding toward the Spartan City?

It looked nice.

It still amazes me that most of that movie was just a cartoon. The things they can do in movies nowadays.

I'm expecting a lot out of this new Superman movie because of that. You hear me movie Superman? You get one more shot. Make it count.

Nice, for what it was. Still looked too stylized and unreal for my liking. I want to be immersed in the visuals as a real place. I obviously wouldn't go through the immeasurable lengths Singer did by growing a whole farm (huge money waster), but it shouldn't be too hard to find an actual location to shoot in.

You know you'll like it no matter what.

 

[daywalker2007]

I think WB should go for a more open route. Clark Kent should start the movie off talking about his previous sexual experiences. How he experimented being a bi sexual. It would fit in with the modern ethos of Snyder's movie. Superman should be sexually liberated and mature.

 

[Sawyer]

EDIT: never mind

 

[elgaz]

Is the Smallville farm in Vancouver? As that's where they film SV? Whether you like the show or hate it, their Kent farm does look great.

Shooting schedule? True or fake?

I recently started rewatching Lois and Clark from the beginning and I must say, I forgot how much I loved the way Clark Kent and Superman were written in that show. Thats how I would write the character and thats how I personally want the character to be portrayed. The problem with L&C was that Dean Cain didn't have the range for both parts. He got the Clark Kent right, but not Superman. Find an actor with better range and add a touch of Golden Age Superman and you would have a Clark Kent/Superman that I think the general audience would fall in love with.

Like Gerard Christopher

I never liked Lois & Clark but I did like the Superboy TV show and I think that did a better job of portraying the differences of Clark and Superboy in the final two seasons anyway.

After I get done rewatching Lois and Clark, I plan on going and watching all the Superboy episodes.

Season 1 is awful, season 2 is better but Gerard plays Clark way too nerdy (not his fault mind its what they asked for) altho theres are some great episodes especially the Bizarro eps but season 3 and 4, Gerard portrays his Clark less nerdy than season 2 and I'd say just right (his Superboy was always spot on) the final seasons have the best episodes the Brides of Bizarro, Roads Not Taken & Know Thine Enemy to name a few.

 

[Showtime]

Not sure if anybody noticed this?

Also interesting to note, Steve Johson's company EonEntertainment (Scroll Right) is planning to release all the juicy behind the scenes footage from his time on Ang's version of Hulk in addition to his work on "Superman Lives". Can I preorder this now!

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Ang's version of Hulk? Someone at SteveJohnsonFX should do his homeworks better.

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

Sounds like it was for the version Jonathan Hensleigh was supposed to direct from his script back in '97.

This guy has a Superman vs Brainiac fan film in production, looks pretty good from the pics

This is the longer version.
http://collider.com/superman-man-of-steel-production-schedule/68680/

Sounds like it could be true. Very long shoot though and starting late. I would have thought July at the latest to get some nice summer shots in there.

Yeah seems like it could be, wouldn't suprise me if it was

 

[Astrodust]

Well I guess the principal photography would be roughly the same as SR so it's believable. Is it reasonable to have an exact shooting start date this early in production?

 

[GreenKToo]

didnt the guy say batman would film in detroit? if so then hmmmm.
maybe he is right about superman's shooting schedule as well.

Rumour has it that Detroit will fill in for Chicago on Warner’s “Dark Knight Rises”. Filming is also said to be taking place in Los Angeles and the UK. There was a rumour floating around for a while that the movie would be shooting in New Orleans – not so. (Source : Reel Chicago)
