New Images of Superman:Man Of Steel!

Yes this is very exciting bit of news on the new Superman film front but it also isn't very exciting as all that is out yet is this new pic of the main man himself Henry Cavill as Superman as well as the news that Lawrence Fishburne has been cast to play Perry White.

Here is this newly out image:



Thanks to Empire Magazine for putting this up on their website. Now this little bit of news has somehow managed to trickle out onto the internet, we should be able to see this what hopes to be an exciting comic book adaption onto the big screen in June 14th 2013-but things could change like so many stories in movies do such as the story for The Rise Of The Planet of The Apes, this had the original story that if you ask me wasn't too dissimilar to 'Deep Blue Sea' where scientists were trying to find the cure for Alzheimer's and use chimps to find this instead of the sharks that they use in 'Deep Blue Sea' and things go horribly wrong, but now the trailer makes the story for the film look like James Franco was finding the cure for this disease but company that he works for now look like the bad guys and he has to clear up the mess left behind-.

Anyhew, I digress. This new version of the Superman story that has been scripted by David Goyer and directed by Zack Synder looks a lot like Superman/Clark Kent is this time going to be a lot more grown up and grittier like the retelling of Bruce Wayne/Batman...but this might have a lot to do with how Christopher Nolan will be producing this film. This therefore may suggest if the story is going to be a little bit more 21st Century and grown up then this franchise might be a bit popular amongst movie fans like the Batman trilogy was which if this happens could make the studio breath a big sigh of relief as I found out that the Green Lantern film that was billed as a big summer smash didn't live up to expectations...but however I have heard that there is to be a second Green Lantern which is hoping to be better in every way. But as this is a post about Superman:Man Of Steel I don't think I'll include anything on Green Lantern as I feel that this news will only take away thunder from Superman so I'll have to put this news in another post.

Just in case you are like me and are in a blur of who or what will be in this new Superman film here is a run down of the other actors and actresses that will be starring alongside Henry Cavill:

• Amy Adams who you'll no undoubtedly recognize from Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movie as she played Irene Adler who was working for Professor Moriarty. In this film she will play Lois Lane
• Diane Lane if you have seen any of these films such as Must Love Dogs and Under The Tuscan Sun you will undoubtedly recognize her, this time she will play Martha Kent who along with her husband Jonathan Kent are the adoptive parents of Clark Kent/Superman.
• Kevin Costner will play Jonathan Kent and if you are reading this and thinking what films has he been in then you will have probably seen him in either The Bodyguard,Message In A Bottle or Robin Hood:Prince Of Thieves.
• Michael Shannon will play General Zod who is also from Planet Kryptonian. If like me you don't know what films he's been in then most notably he was in 8 Mile as the guy that was going out with 'Rabbit's' mother and he has also been in a Law and Order:Special Victims Unit.
• Lawrence Fishburne will play the editor of the Daily Planet Perry White. Most famously he was in The Matrix as captain of the Nebakaneza ship...but most recently you might have seen him in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. 

Still no word on whether Russel Crowe will be appearing in this film as Jor-El still a rumour I am afraid but if this did turn out to be true this would be an awesome bit of news as anything I've seen him in looks like it is instantly transformed from something that could be bad into something that you have to see as he is a really good actor and when you hear he is in that particular film you or this might just be me but you think 'oh ok I'll go see what that's about as I didn't think he was in that'.
