Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)

[Captain Craig]

Just as an aside I find it interesting to see very similar looking actors in mo-cap suits in this new pic when we've seen them in The Avengers shoot so recently.

Those mo-cap guys get around.

I was going to make a thread about the use of mo-cap suits in movies nowadays. I was whether people were yay or nay about them.

That's a cool transition gif!!

When used effectively mo-cap seems to be just as good a movie making tool as any other used to craft a film. I'm pro mo-cap when used well I suppose.

I just assumed the motion suit was Doomsday or a Green Lantern in one of those completely redone suits.

I have to say that I think the redone Superman #1 looks awesome!

 

[Gojira]

^ Now that's awesome All this talk about Clark's suit everyone has been ignoring Faora. I think her costume is great.

I agree. I do like her costume too. I would love to see more pics of her if anyone has them.

Green Lantern? In a Superman story? Uh-oh.

Ha ha, take that Hal Jordan!

Now, it makes sense!

Found on Bleeding Cool:

With my time machine...

I'm not doing a turnaround, but that actually doesn't look bad in itself. It's a richer blue even if not bright than the Cavill costume. It's a little easier to see the belt area which could/should be more prominent on the new design. And it doesn't have the awful texturing and elaborate piping that Cavill's suit has or at least it's not as obvious.

Now, it makes sense!

Brilliant!

 

[Myasishchev]

Why is Doomsday wearing fetish thigh-highs? This is indeed a disturbing universe.

 

[Kemaiku]

Now, it makes sense!

Brilliant!

Aw man, I wish they'd done that in one of the movies/shows now.

I love that drawing. Where's it from?

Man of Steel is now currently shooting in Chicago, IL!

Zack Snyder's Superman movie Man of Steel has moved down the road from Plano, Illinois to Chicago, where the production will start shooting today for the next 10 days through September 17. After that, the production will head to Vancouver for the rest of the shoot.

Chicago Business reports that the Chicago Board of Trade building (previously used for Wayne Tower in Batman Begins) will be used as The Daily Planet in the movie, while Willis Tower in the city will serve as the newspaper's interiors.

I'll be super-stalking the production for the next week and a half!

Remember, if you use your eyesight to look at your own child, you're a monster worthy of at best a quick death.

 

[davejames]

Cool. Hopefully we'll finally get to see what Cavill's Clark looks like (at least the Metropolis version of Clark).

 

[Captain Mike]

Now, it makes sense!

As much sense that most idiots have a Hard-on insisting that the trunks are underwear....

Wonder if Nolan has warned Snyder about you...

On a serious note, I'm surprised they're not concerned about Metropolis looking too much like Gotham.

Perhaps this will help, because that's all that image is really.

 

[davejames]

Trunks, underwear... whatever you want to call them, they're outdated.

Synder- Okay everyone. You all have a photo of the person to be on the lookout for. He is to be restrained on site by order of the Nolan.

Looks perfect. Just CGI a globe on top

Metropolis being in Chicago always seemed to fit for me, Chicago is such a classy, architectually modern and beautiful town that it seems perfect for Superman.

New York is much more Batman.
