I'm just afraid that if Nolan is "building the track" we will just get more of the same with the impending Batman reboot and that's something I don't want

 

[mclay18]

If he really hasn't, then yes it does.

Well... security has been really tight for the MOS production during shooting. Who's to say Nolan hasn't flown down during a break from shooting TDKR to see how MOS is progressing? You have to put in consideration that MOS and TDKR were shooting in different states/countries at the same time. It's not like Nolan has the luxury to halt filming on TDKR for a few days, drive to Chicago and Vancouver to check the dailies on MOS, then go back and finish shooting.

It's all a matter of scheduling and stuff.

That's what will happen, especially if TDKR is a success.

Why would WB change up the formula that sells?



Robinov's announcement that Nolan is the producer didn't surprise me at all. I wouldn't be shocked if Goyer, Jonah and the rest of his crew are involved in the scripting of it.

 

[shauner111]

I dont think itll be like the Nolan trilogy at all. Actually i think they'll make an effort to do something very different. I heard the Arkham games are what they'll model it after, visually. With more fantasy but still more serious writing.

They'll probably get Aronofsky or Affleck to direct, with different writers than the Goyer/Nolan bro crew.

What IM worried about is the Man of Steel sequel and how they'll handle the writing. Didn't they mention that they're getting different writers next time around? God i hope they dont screw up. I just dont want Nolan to not be as much of a hands on producer and WB/Snyder hire some jabroni writers like what theyre doing with the Amazing Spiderman sequel

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I find it comical that fans assume anything 'dark' is Nolan-esque now. Oh lord.

You gals and guys have seen Watchmen, right? Snyder directed the film, and it can certainly be described as 'dark' and 'edgy'. Furthermore, who is to say the entire film will be 'dark'?

We virtually know nothing about the project.

 

[Prime]

I think some here give Nolan way way too much credit for this, thinking he is almost ´´co-directing`` things from the shadows or something when it's been said before, even by Nolan's wife that this is Snyders film. Nolan is someone who puts all his attention into his movies do you really think he had/has the time to check up on Snyder? And Snyder himself has often referrd to MOS as ´´my Superman``. Cavill has never meet Nolan either. Snyder even got his buddy Kurt Johnstad to do rewrites, no doubt to add some of Snyders ideas into the film.

We all know Nolan had a hand in the story, picking Snyder and so on and im sure Snyder talked to him on different aspects in pre-production meetings, purely as one filmmaker talks to another but this is still Snyder's movie. If MOS turns out great he'll get as much credit as anyone. But I think some Nolanites are trying to spin the story to give Nolan all the credit. I hope they keep this line of thought if MOS turns out to be garbage.

Hell yeah dude, agreed on all counts

I'm get sick of seeing the "oh no, MOS is gonna be dark and gritty" comments just because Nolan is a producer.

 

[Rust]

If anything Nolan, this would probably be a different side we'll see of his contributions. With MOS he and Goyer have had the opportunity to play like kids with broader brushes and colors than they did with the moody and gritty Batman.

I know it'll still be "realistic" and "edgy", but I expect an equally fun and optimistic Superman as well.

 

[Prime]

Nothing exciting but with the total lack of news (damn you WB, still not even a bloody teaser poster????) you can watch Richard Schiff talk a bit about filming on the Edwards Air Force base here: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Excl...scusses-Man-Steel-Navy-SEAL-Extras-30665.html

I love it how he says it was fun to work with Amy Adams again and Christopher Meloni and ´´a...what's his name...the...Henry! The brit`` - wow, Henry must have made a real good and long lasting impression on Schiff, seeing how he barely remembers his name and all. t:

 

[Dr.]

I'm willing to bet that Nolan hasn't even set foot on a single set for MOS.

and that means nothing really

Indeed. Of course, we’re speculating about the degree of Nolan’s influence. But if it’s significant, I don’t think it can be measured by the number of set visits (or similar consultations). I think we have to take Nolan’s words at face value: at a certain point, he and Thomas handed MOS over to Snyder and Snyder. So the influence we’re talking about would have been at the planning stages. Primarily, this would be the story. But it might very include an overall tone and sensibility that Nolan gravitates to. And the further speculation is that WB would have wholeheartedly endorsed this (given Nolan’s track record). Thus, Snyder (or any director) would have had to be on the same page as a precondition for being given the job.

 

[JAK®]

Goyer wrote a script, Nolan said "cool story bro" and used his pull at WB to get it green-lit.

Snyder was picked because he needed to prove himself again after the box office failure of Sucker Punch. Nolan said "yeah he can do it"

Then Henry Cavill's screentests from former projects were passed around and Nolan said "yo he is a pretty good actor"

And that's Nolan's involvement.

Hehehehehehe, I honestly started chuckling when I read this post dude.

Well, I said “speculation” and used the word “if.” Your version is much more categorical. So I assume you have inside knowledge of Nolan’s minimalist involvement with the project.

Nolan might have insisted on a private/behind-the-scenes consultation role, pocketed a nice fee and washed his hands of it. Bonus: if the movie crashes-and-burns, he escapes the taint.

But most sources suggest that Nolan will receive a co-story credit and (more definitely) that his (or Syncopy’s) name will be listed as a co-producer. (“From the creators of 300 and The Dark Knight” is not an unlikely ad slogan.) So to some degree, Nolan has attached his (considerable) reputation to MOS. That indicates (to me) something more than a “cool story bro” level of investment.

 

[JAK®]

Nolan obviously has faith in the project, I don't dispute that. But Nolan has been working on TDKR and he has made it clear in the past that he doesn't work on two films at once. Especially not two comic book movies.

I'll concede that Nolan was the driving force in getting the movie made. But he played very little part in making the movie.

I think that's about it.

I mean, a Producer's role is very often simply that of a fan's...just his opinion actually matters. Like, whereas I can say as a fan, that I loved the art direction and cast for Captain America, but felt the script was a little weak, a producer could say the same thing...but actually get the script rewritten.

Yes, I'm sure Nolan approves of the MOS script, directorial vision, cast, etc. but that's VASTLY different from actually designing or overseeing the film itself from a directorial perspective.

 

[Willi Berg]

I do think that WB asked Nolan and co. to see if they could come up with an idea for Superman and that's when he and Goyer started working on it.

I think Chris Nolan's involvement was highly-trumpeted to make the Superman project look more legit, plus WB were in a bind because of the Siegel case and asked him. I think the early reports of Jonah Nolan possibly directing were also why they made such a point that Chris Nolan would be "godfathering" the whole thing. And I think that was the time Jonah worked on the script a bit as well.

But once they picked Snyder, Nolan (Chris) backed away from the project much more and let Snyder and WB do their thing. Which is when Snyder brought in his 300 co-writer Kurt Johnstad to work on it with him. Goyer was less involved at that point as well since he was working on the Godzilla project.

The guy in the MOCAP suit isn't Michael Shannon right?

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Michael Shannon has been snapped in a mocap suit, but that's, not him.

So he's an unnamed third villain?

 

[Herolee10]

So he's an unnamed third villain?

It's believe by some to be either his "mo-cap" stunt double or to be a as of yet unnamed associate of the villainous kryptonian duo.

 

[Micromind]

It would be awesome if the unnamed character turns out to be Mongul.

 

[Herolee10]

It would be awesome if the unnamed character turns out to be Mongul.

Personally, I'd be against any big-bad other than Zod and Faora appearing in this film since there wouldn't be enough time to do that character justice; nor do I think that they will be doing that. If that dude isn't Zod, then it's most likely one of his minions.

Thomas Tull of Legendary Pictures had one of the biggest hands in getting this project going. Nolan "had" a lot of involvement with the picture at the beginning, scripting phase and casting.
