Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)

I can recall seeing several teaser trailers for a movie nearly a year in advance. Granted not much more than maybe a couple of quick quick clips and a bunch of title cards, but year-out trailers are hardly uncommon.

We saw the first trailer for The Hobbit a year in advance.

Are you sure?

It might be seldom, but The Dark Knight Rises teaser trailer came out in July 2011 (being attached to Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 2). Which is a full year before the release of the film.

If I remember correctly, both teaser trailers for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight followed the same pattern. It's not completely uncommon for a summer blockbuster to debut a teaser a year before the release of the film.

Yes, it happens on occasion, but most movies don't get a teaser a year in advance - that's the same thing as saying it happens, but only seldom.

As I said before, I expect we will see a Man of Steel teaser with TDKR. But we'll probably only see the first teasers for most of next summer's films this fall.

Yes, and it was the only December 2012 film to get a teaser a year in advance. The others either haven't had a trailer at all yet or only got their first trailer in the last month or so.

"Man of Steel" isn't most movies, and with the Nolan connection, it is only logical that one would assume it would be attached to it...even if it is a year in advanced. Besides which...we've seen several trailers for one 2013 movie already

We also saw not one but TWO G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailers a year in advance.

I agree. As I've said a couple of times already, I think Man of Steel will be one of the few movies to get a teaser a year in advance.

But that's being released later this month. I know because the trailers said so.

Hans Zimmer is scoring "Man of Steel".

Cool, glad to see it's going to be a big, proper movie score.

Hopefully he can come up with something as memorable and catchy as his Gladiator, Pirates, and Sherlock Holmes scores.

I would hate to have to be the composer to follow John Williams theme which is burned into the consciousnesses of all Superman fans, but Hans is an excellent choice!

[Admiral_Young]

John Ottman did an incredible job with the score to "Superman Returns". His complete score is sensational, aside from reusing the classic theme he pretty much did his own score...but yeah Hans should be interesting.

He must use the classic score as the opener otherwise no-go. From what am seeing though, it could be the next Batman franchise, or the next Green Lantern.

I could swear Zimmer has been attached to this project for ages...

He won't, and that's just fine.

I like that they keep switching composers for the Marvel Universe films. But here they throw Hans Zimmer at both Batman and Superman.
