Superman (casting, rumors, pix till release)

Well Shannon confirmed that he is indeed wearing a mocap suit as Zod. Still not sure if it's for some kind of battle armor, or maybe an energy suit like we saw in GL...

Or who knows, maybe he'll be all huge and roided out like Hulk.

So he won't be wearing his Kryptonian bathrobe anymore?

Looks perfect. Just CGI a globe on top
This pic makes me think how cool it would be to see a period piece Superman. This could be set anytime between the '30s and the '50s.
 
After the shoot is done in Chicago they're be coming here to Vancouver to finish principal. Although most of the shoot is interiors (meaning inside a studios) so I might not be able to see much.
 
Perhaps this will help, because that's all that image is really.

Oh I get the joke but I disagree of your opinion on it.

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 whatever you want to call them, they're outdated.

Who says you?....not to me. ;)

Visual effects companies MPC and Double Negative will work on Man of Steel.

MPC and Double Negative have worked on Christopher Nolan's last three movies, plus the last five Harry Potter movies. Plus lots of other movies like X-Men: First Class, Paul and Prince of Persia.

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! :D


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.

The way I feel about this production just CGI the "Daily Star" logo on top of there.
 
My first day stalking the set! I am pretty sure I spotted Laurence Fishburne! :D

The Sears Tower, where they are filming the Daily Planet interiors. I spotted an old-timey taxi and some cameras. Unfortunately, I tried to take pictures, but security shooed me away.

The Board of Trade, where are they shooting the exteriors of the Daily Planet. FWIW: The Board of Trade also stood in for Wayne Tower in Batman Begins and was visible during the convoy chase in The Dark Knight when they flipped the Joker semi-truck on LaSalle.

Base camp in Chicago on Van Buren.

I managed to snag a photo of some of the costumes.

Signage which reads the codename title of the film.

You still call it the Sears Tower?

Notice the City Information poster
 
So, we've gone from fearing changes to the trunks to fearing changes to the name of the building at 233 S. Wacker Drive?

...In the interest of fairness, I'll admit that had to look up what it's called now. :p

I actually like all four variations on the Man of Steel suit at this point. They all make the Returns suit look like a Halloween costume you'd find at Toys R Us.

ETA: Oops, I'm four pages behind with this comment!
