Empire Magazine‘s latest issue is out in France and there’s some new production stills from some of the most anticipated movies of 2013 inside. We however have decided to bring you these scans instead, because that’s all anyone can get a hold of at the moment.

First up is  Zack Snyder‘s Man Of Steel, which graces the cover and two stills below. I have to admit that the new super suit is starting to grow on me. Henry Cavill looks pretty bad ass in the picture above.

We get a nice look at Russell Crowe as Superman’s biological father Jor-El in what looks like some kind of galactic conference room, perhaps they are discussing the fate of Michael Shannon as General Zod pictured below.

Next we move on to Mark Millar and Johnny Romita Jr‘s Kick Ass 2. Here’s a scan of Col Stars and Stripes (Jim Carey) and Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) giving each other some superhero love in a manly, chest beating manner.

The next scan is Chloe Grace Moretz as Hit-Girl. Too bad the scan cut out the text beside it.

The Wolverine, directed by James Mangold and starring Hugh Jackman is looking good. Until we get that first trailer though we’re going to have to settle for the few production stills that are trickling out. Check out Logan all dressed up and ready to party. I did a double take when I saw he was wearing a tie. I can’t imagine Wolverine wearing a tie and really can’t remember a time in the comics where he did. Can any of you?

Next we get “Stomping mad” Logan, doesn’t he look pissed below? I wouldn’t want to be the one he’s walking toward with that look on his face. I’d most likely lose all control of my bowels.

Last, but not least is a scan of Thor: The Dark World. There’s not much to see, but we do get a nice look at Chris Hemsworth in full Thor costume.

Greetings from the new year of 2013!  And with a new year comes all new details from the upcoming Justice League movie, written by Will Beale. With the film slated for a release date some time in 2015, Warner Bros. is busy gathering their resources to step up against Joss Whedon and The Avengers.

At this moment, there are minimal details available about the Justice League project.  One of the few known details is that the film will be based off Gerry Conway’s 1980 Justice League Of America issues 183-185.  You would think, then, that the film’s details would be under some tight wraps right now. Not so, according to Cosmic Book News, who claim to have insider information on the character breakdowns for the Justice League and its roster of heroes that have made the cut. The information itself is slim — we know, for example, that Lois Lane and Alfred Pennyworth will be making cameos, but there are some connections to a few DC Comics related films underway.

Check out all the details after the jump.

The first full length trailer for Zack Snyder‘s Man Of Steel has hit the Internet and I have to say that it may have rekindled the ashes of my desire to see the movie. Listening to Kevin Costner‘s voice as he (Jonathan Kent) tries to raise his adopted son to become the man . . . no, the HERO, the world deserves sent chills down my back.

We only get a couple of glimpses at what may turn out to be the villain of the piece and a few glances at Superman using his powers, but the over all feeling I get from this trailer is one of hope. Hope that Snyder may have gotten it right. Hope that Henry Cavill can take a place beside Christopher Reeves and others who have successfully taken on the mantle of Superman.

The Man Of Steel flies it’s way onto theater screens June 14th, 2013

Coinciding with the re-release of  Watchmen “Ultimate Cut” on Blu-ray this week, director Zack Snyder spoke with L.A. Times about the serious tone we can expect in Man of Steel.

“It’s a more serious version of Superman,” he says. “It’s not like a heart attack. We took the mythology seriously. We take him as a character seriously. I believe the movie would appeal to anyone. I think that you’re going to see a Superman you’ve never seen before. We approached it as though no other films had been made. He’s the king-daddy. Honestly that’s why I wanted to do it. I’m interested in Superman because he’s the father of all superheroes. He’s this amazing ambassador for all superheroes. What was it about him that cracked the code that made pop culture embrace this other mythology? What we’ve made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It’s been an honor to work on. As a comic book fan, Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes. I wanted to be sure the movie treated it respectfully.”

Well, that was nice. Hearing Snyder speak about the character with such vigor is convincing. Truthfully,  I believe Snyder has a better understanding of Superman than most.

Supes is a hard egg to crack. Literally, he’s indestructible. Quite frankly, though, he’s not as compelling as other superheroes out there. Simply for the fact that he lacks conflict. Think about it, interest comes from tension, and tension from conflict. Yes, Supes has had few moral dilemmas here and there, but truly, what affecting conflict do you find in an indestructible, incorruptible, morally absolute, god-like character? Not much, I’ll tell you.

Snyder took one of the most horrendous jobs ever… making Superman interesting. Perhaps Snyder has crafted a version of Superman that can finally be seen as one of us. A man with more vulnerable weaknesses than just a stick of kryptonite.

Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Christopher Meloni, Harry Lennix, Michael Kelly, Richard Shiff, Russell Crow and written by David S. Goyer hits theaters June 14th, 2013.

Amy Adams holds the belief that Henry Cavill does the best Superman.  This follows some similar comments made by Man of Steel co-star, Michael Shannon.

Adams was dazzled by Cavill and at times even felt like she was hanging out with Superman, himself.  (Yes, I used “dazzled” on purpose, here.)  From the MTV article:

“You feel like you’re in scenes with Superman,” Adams agreed. “He is completely invested and yoked and he just really took the role very seriously and yeah, he’s fantastic, he’s just so yum. He’s the nicest guy, aside from the face,” she said, which prompted the two of us to have a brief girl moment where we shared stories of getting lost in Cavill’s eyes. I told Adams that when I interviewed Cavill for “Immortals” that I was glad I was supposed to be staring at him, because it’s hard to look away.

“Really? Whenever I had to look into his eyes I would just start giggling,” Adams admitted. “I was like ‘Oh I gotta stop this.’”

We now know that Lois Lane (played by Adams) will cross paths with Zod at some point; Adams said she only had a few scenes with Shannon, and that his performance was “fantastic” and “terrifying”.

These comments set the bar rather high.  Let’s hope we’re not disappointed in the acting arena, at least.

Man of Steel will hit theaters on June 14, 2013.

We have a bit under a year until Zack Snyder‘s Superman: Man of Steel hits theaters, and while that may seem like a long ways away, the buzz that was generated from the footage that was shown at the SDCC has definitely gotten people into anticipation-mode after having seen that it’s fairly different from the other Superman flicks we’ve seen.

Henry Cavill, the new Supes, spoke with Cineplex Magazine about the film and his take on the character:

What I can say is that it’s a modernization of the character and a very realistic view of one, obviously, very fantastic individual. It’s an unreal situation, but it’s approached from a very practical viewpoint. We wanted to make the character easier to identify with. [...] It’s important to do the role justice. There are a lot of people relying on me to do this well. I gladly accept that responsibility, and it’s a great one to have because it’s a wonderful opportunity. I don’t let the pressures get to me because that’s going to hinder my performance and, therefore, let people down. So I choose to ignore the pressure side of it and focus on doing justice to Superman.

I think it’s fair to say that Cavill will do a decent job.  At the very least, he’ll be good for us to look at.  And knowing Snyder, there will be plenty of other eye candy (even if it’s just beautiful cinematography).

Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Christopher Meloni and Russell Crowe will join Henry Cavill on the big screen in June 2013.

In a movie, music is everything. Even with a stellar cast, strung together with strong writing and insane visuals, a movie could become unwatchable without a banging musical score. Thankfully, if your Hollywood blockbuster is lacking that musical touch then Hans Zimmer is the man to call.

With over 100 film scores to his credit, including Rain Man, The Last Samuari, Inception and the entire Christopher Nolan Batman franchise, Hans is a natural choice when it comes to making beautiful music. So contrary to reports from last year, Zimmer has been called up once again to score the upcoming Man of Steel feature film. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last year, Hans said:

My heart belongs to Batman… I wouldn’t even know how to go and give voice to it [Man of Steel].

But that was then. Now that his work on The Dark Knight Rises is finished, Variety is reporting that Zimmer has signed on to create the score for the Warner Bros. reboot. It’s going to be tough though, since Zimmer must contend with the iconic theme to Richard Donner‘s original Superman from 1978, created by John Williams. Does this mean he’ll be revamping the 34 year old theme currently humming in your head (we’re doing that too)?

[It] happens to be one of his greatest themes…So no. And I’m not thinking of rewriting Beethoven’s ninth either. It just sounds like a thankless task, you know? So that’s unequivocally a no.

Zack Snyder is one lucky man. Not only does he get to use the theme associated with one of the greatest DC characters of all time, but one of the greatest living composers today will bring it back to theaters. Whatever brought on this change of heart will probably be mentioned in the near future, should Hans ever release a statement as to why he signed on.

Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Russell Crowe, Ayelet Zurer, Christopher Meloni, Harry Lennix, Laurence Fishburne and Richard Schiff hits theaters June 14th.

In 367 days, Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel hits screens all over North America. Principle photography has wrapped up for months and now the long post production and marketing ramp up can begin, right?

So where is our damn footage! I am sure I am not alone being very curious with how this Superman reboot will look. Well, while Zack is hard at work editing away and rumors swirl that we’ll see something at Comic-Con this year, we do have something for you to look at and wonder.

The folks over at ComingSoon.Net have braved the wild party that is the Licensing Expo 2012 in Las Vegas to give us our first look at some of the Kryptonian kostumes from the flick.

Some nice close ups of Faora (Zod’s evil sidekick played by Antje Traue,) Jor-El’s, and of course Superman’s costume await you after the jump.

With the release of Zack Snyder‘s Superman reboot, The Man Of Steel, still more than a year away (June 14th, 2013) news from the film is still pretty light. We saw Legendary Pictures dump to two things on the ‘net today. A slightly reworded synopsis and a new hi-res version of the previously released ‘S’ shield/logo.

In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question ‘Why am I here?’ Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope – Superman.

Hit the jump to read the previously released synopsis for comparisons sake and get a gander that the hi-res logo in all its dark gritty grittiness.
