Tarsem Singh and Zack Snyder are actually film school peers having attended Art Centre College of Design in California [allowing with Michael Bay]. It makes you wonder if that school produces a certain "aesthetical eye" in it's graduates as both Singh and Snyder cast Cavill in their feature films, Immortals and the upcoming Superman reboot Man of Steel. Here's what Singh had to say about Cavill as Supes [courtesy of Digital Spy]:
"I think he's about the best Superman you could ever have," said Singh. "When I first saw him [this was before I knew he [auditioned] for Superman, because the last Superman had been made a year and a half before Immortals and tanked ] I said, 'This is Clark Kent!'"
Tarsem, goes on to say that fellow film school alum Zack Snyder would have to be "blind not to see how right [Cavill] was for [the role]".
"He's very gentle, manly, just everything was perfect for it," Tarsem said of Cavill. "He was so excited when he got it but I didn't doubt for a second that he wouldn't get it."
