TMOS Set & Official Photo Thread - Discussion Welcome

[ZonComGMZ]

as long as this Smallville is still in Kansas ( and not some other rebooted state ), I'll be happy.......

I must feel my home state pride when watching the movie........

 

[ZonComGMZ]

It looks like a real farm in the mid west lots of trees for shade to keep the house cooler in the summer. Not just corn. I live in an area like that.

There used to be a house at that location a while back but it burned down.

I heard from someone that this Kent Family Farm house was inspired by a house in Galena, IL. Galena, IL had filming done there and substituted for Chisholm, Minnesota in the movie Field of Dreams. Kevin Costner was in Field of Dreams and is also in Man of Steel.

Lets do 6 degrees of "Man of Steel"

Did they rent the farm or did they build it?

The house was built for the movie.

The house was built for the movie.

Its amazing what a crew can do with a few weeks!

 

[Snare]

Looking good!

 

[hopefuldreamer]

K. I'm going in. Wish me luck.

Good luck!

I can attest to that, as set/prop construction is my profession. Sometimes even after 25 years in this business, I'm still amazed at what we can pull off. I'm really impressed with the safe in the first costume picture. I'm sure the people that made it are very proud of their work.

I want to get a photo of the safe door all smashed up. I know where it is but it is inside one of the sets which is guarded by security. I saw someone from the crew took a snap of it and posted it also.

So perhaps it was built for the movie, and not just for the photo shoot? It did look however to be in a room with a really low ceiling, and to be very close to some one-lite doors which gives the illusion that it was crammed into a small photo studio. Maybe the Smallville bank is supposed to be very small. I wish they had a much bigger picture of it.

I think they are there just for some Triple J pizza!

2 nights ago I had some Triple J pizza. It was pretty good. Old World thin crust with a lot of sauce. The pizzeria's real name is "Uncle Lar's" but will be in the movie as "Smallville Best Pizza"

The bank is the building on the right.

The bank vault was posted a few pages back:

Superman Homepage has that bank vault pic as well as this one of Diane Lane:

There's a whole bunch of others collected here:

Wow. That is the same exact vault used in the official pic.

What does the JJJ stand for?

 

[X Knight]

I'm so happy!!

but the icing on the cake was seeing Henry wearing the KU shirt!!

oh....and the Triple J pizza is real!!??

 

[X Knight]

What does the JJJ stand for?

J. Jonah Jameson...........shhh.....it's a secret......

 

[ZonComGMZ]

Is there anyone of interest in this shot? If so who is it and where are they located.

I thought I read that it's Cavill up on the lift.

 

[ZonComGMZ]

Looks like to me they are doing a waist up shot of Clark airborne and looking down at something.

Spoiler

The shot has Clark in the foreground and the trees waving in the background due to an oncoming tornado. There is a jet engine pointed toward trees to make it look like the winds of a tornado.

Is this the 1st photo anyone has seen of Cavill actually filming in Man of Steel?

 

[ZonComGMZ]

That shot with the vault ( the suit reveal ) was supposedly made in one of the plano buildings.

The Bank Vault is real and it is in the New Bank building ready for filming next week.

 

[ZonComGMZ]

So its being used to cause the effect of a tornado or is the jet engine apparently part of the movie?

The backwash from the Jet Engine is to simulate wind. The Jet engine is being used behind the scenes.

Guy in White Shirt in the Center waving.

"Uh Henry can you just move this way. A little more. You want fall you are superman. A little more."

Here is some of the detail they went through to create Smallville. These are just a few of the comps listed in the window of the "Smallville Realty".

There are some little mistakes if you guys want to find them
