I can't believe you said something like that. Especially on this forum here. You deserve to be beat up for that gross & sick comment. :rolleyes:

LOL, is this a joke? Empire had a great Superman cover earlier in the year, this just screams amateur. Empire also had an incredible 3D Spider-Man 2 cover in 2004 as well.

No. That would be silly, the cover is there to sell the magazine, and no-one walks up to the magazine rack with 3d glasses on.

What a poor cover design.
 
man that's bad.....they need to fire whoever made that cover. i've seen manips on these boards that are 20 times better...
 
What will be in the Empire issue?
Superman Returns. Empire Rules.

Granted unprecedented access to both set and post-production activity personally by director Bryan Singer, Empire has created a fascinating and detailed account of the making of this summer’s most anticipated event movie. While, most blockbusters count on grand special effects and giant marketing campaigns to see them through, Singer’s vision was a highly personal one, a story that says as much about his own life as it does the legendary Man of Steel. As our writer explains, this is a movie very much from the heart, which deliberately references the films of the Christopher Reeve era: “My Superman has to look and feel like he’s stepped out of our collective memory,” says Singer. "And part of it is that, yeah, he looks just a little like Christopher Reeve."

Not that he was scrimping on razzle-dazzle side of things: you’ll believe a man can fly, you’ll believe a man can partake in interplanetary travel.

Over 12 pages, with fantastic pictures and exclusive interviews with Brandon Routh (Clark Kent/Superman), Kate Bosworth (Lois Lane) and Kevin Spacey (Lex Luthor), this is the definitive story behind the biggest film of the year.
 
Gotta say, Total Film's Superman issue is pretty lame as well. There are ten pages (nothing really considering how much coverage was given to movies like Spider-Man 2), and nothing that hasn't been written a million times before. The only proper interview is a short panel with Spacey.

Pedestrian.

The best coverage of Superman Returns has been in Wizard so far.

I liked their cover for SR.

But I would like to say, that TF article is for general public to get their interest about this movie.

And as we know general public know less than we.

Yeah, it does look a bit poor. I'm not that picky, but I'm sure they could've made something a tad bit better.

Well, of course it's for the mainstream public. That's the context I read it in. It's still a bad article.

Empire's my favourite magazine, period. But this cover is a let-down. I wanna see how exclusive are the stuff in there (including pics) although I don't think it'll beat what we got form the set visits reports.
 
I have just read a new Total Film, June month with X3 cover.

There were enough words about SR.

1) About movie
2) A little interview with Harris and Dougherty
3) Comparisons Superman with Jessus
4) About Abrams script
 
I hate magazine covers. They got one pcture of him and are making in every their cover with effective appearance, but without something new and better :mad: :down
 
Cool!:)

Feature: Superman Returns

Director Bryan Singer gives us some moments of his time to tell us about his boy wonder…
As Bryan Singer leans back behind his control console, laughing and joking as he shows us some Marlon Brando bloopers from the Richard Donner version of Superman, he looks far too relaxed. The fact that he is making one of the biggest films ever made, the much-anticipated return of the Man of Steel seems to have left him completely unfazed. He may be a bag of nerves, but, if he is, he didn’t show it when he met with Starburst on the set of his biggest-ever challenge.

Superman is a comic book character firmly rooted in the Thirties, but Singer’s style of film-making is sleek and contemporary. The challenges to bring Superman into the new millennium have been reduced by the hero’s previous incarnations. “Well, fortunately others have held the torch over a number of decades, so the collective memory of who Superman is in the audience’s mind is a product of the late Thirties, the Forties, Fifties radio, Fifties television, the Sixties, television re-runs, Seventies movies, shows like Lois and Clark and Smallville. There’s a canon, an archetype that has been contemporized every decade, so an audience’s collective memory of Superman spans the decades, it isn’t just the first appearance in 1938.” Gone are the days of a Stars-and-Stripes waving Superman; this superhero is more cosmopolitan.

“Well, he’s not running around the White House and meeting with the President!” he laughs. “He’s sort of looking at the world’s problems, he steps up high above the Earth and sees problems all over the world and addresses them. He just happens to have been raised in a farm on Kansas.”

Casting this new Superman was always going to be a challenge. “I don’t remember the dates, but I did look at an enormous amount of tapes and early screen tests,” he recalls, “I saw tons of people, we had multiple casting directors all over the world. I saw two tapes of Brandon that he had made previously that I liked. There was something about him that interested me. So the day I was leaving for Australia for my first scout I scheduled a meeting with him. I met Brandon and within 10 minutes of conversation I knew I would cast him as Superman. We talked for two hours; I went straight from the meeting to the airport and went to Sydney knowing that I had my Superman. I didn’t make the decision for two months; I did some Photoshop with his face. We even painted Superman with his face on it so word got out that I might have a favourite, but nobody knew who he was. It wasn’t a known face that they were asked to paint. Then eventually, about two months later I went to the studio and told them I had my one and only choice for the role. There was no other and Alan said OK. I announced it instantly, there was a panel that a bunch of us did for X-Men 2 and rumours had already gotten out for a day or so. I said I would answer two questions about Superman. The first was ‘Is Brandon Routh Superman?’ and I said yes, and then the other question was, ‘Are you going to use the original John Williams music?’ and I said yes.”
