Man of Steel Trailer

[EvilYoda]

BTW, there are two trailers out: both with the same video, but one with Pa Kent/Kevin Costner doing the voiceover and the other with Jor-El/Russell Crowe.

Two Words: Christopher Nolan.

 

[EvilYoda]

I see people bringing up Christopher Nolan a lot...you know that he's just the producer, right? It's directed by Zack Snyder, the guy behind Watchmen and 300. That said, he's a big Superman fan so hopefully he's toned down his stylizing a bit...and going off of the teaser trailer, I'd say the cinematography looks pretty good.

JUST the producer?

OK, you have no clue how movies work, do you?

 

[EvilYoda]

Whoa there big guy...I was purely just commenting. Sheesh.

This. Superman movies wouldn't seem so corny if they actually had threatening villains like Darkseid or Doomsday. I hope they stay away from Lex Luthor and kryptonite this time.

I always thought the whole Superman's arch enemy being Lex Luthor is rather silly.

JUST the producer?

It can go either way, sometimes the "producer" label is really just a rubber stamp, and the product is obviously almost 100% the product of the director's vision. And sometimes the exact opposite is true, with the producer heavily or even dominantly influencing the shaping of the project.

Given that Nolan is on this, I am more in agreement that he's probably playing a large role at every level of this. From the brief clips and tone it has zero similarity to the previous Snyder work imho. The hyper-stylized 300 and slightly muted Watchmen I think were the product of trying to get the extreme vivid/stark look of graphic novel style anyway, and most people don't think of Superman in the modern graphic novel sense .. so it looks like they're doing a more realistic vision here.

There really isn't much to go in that teaser, but those are my thoughts. I could be 1000% wrong.

Why are there vapor trailers following superman and why two of them?

ONE FOR EACH OF HIS GIGANTIC FUCKIN BALLS

Nolan is also listed as a writer for the story along with Goyer. Although, when looking at Goyer, he's more of a mixed bag. Goyer has the newer Batman films under his belt (I'm assuming Nolan's brother was on those as well), but he also has some rather bad movies as well like the newer Ghost Rider movie. Ultimately, I'm just glad that Snyder didn't write it after seeing the abomination that was Sucker Punch (he wrote that story).

Hopefully, since it's not a comic being directly adapted into a movie, it won't fall prey to the same problems as The Watchmen. It still annoys me how he tried to justify his changes without realizing how they completely destroyed certain parts of the movie. For example, why the fuck does Ozymandias even kill The Comedian when there's no island? Why does The Comedian go to Moloch balling like a baby when there's no island? The whole reason why Ozymandias killed The Comedian was because he flew over Ozymandias's super secret island (where he was creating "The Alien") during a mission. Seeing that freaked him out and caused him to see Moloch.

I won't even get into how they ruined Dr. Manhattan.

Even though the trailer doesnt show anything, the dark realistic tone already screams Christopher Nolan, so its obvious he did have a big influence on the whole thing

Cant wait... Superman movies have always been super cheesy, so it will be really interesting to see a darker take on it

This is the Superman Comic Con trailer, enjoy:

WB just pulled the Comic Con trailer. There are a couple copies still up on Youtube, I'd suggest watching it asap before those are pulled as well. Way way way better than the "offical" trailer.

Comic con trailer showed a ton of glimpses of the movie, like clark as a kid pulling a bus out of the lake, superman fighting, and superman squaring off against a ton of (US?) soldiers/tanks. Maybe that's why they are trying to pull that trailer.

 

[MontyAC]

They should release the comic-con trailer, showing more of the film to the public.

 

[Jadow]

wonder if Keith Colburn has a cameo?

DON'T LIFT UP YOUR FEED AT RAIL GREENHORN!

The trailer made me laugh out loud in the theatre, talk about a rip off of Malick. I did like it quite a bit though. :hmm:

Superman can never win as a movie because he has to be the lamest, most unimaginative super hero ever.

OK, I take my previous comment back. This could be decent--Watchmen was the best super hero movie to date.

Then again, that's because the Watchmen are actually interesting. :hmm:

check out the cast/crew:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0770828/fullcredits#cast

General Zod is listed - I wonder if he'll be the enemy that Superman needs to defeat? Or if he'll just be part of the dialogue he'll have with his biological father in the fortress of solitude?

And Perry White apparently changed his skin color... [Laurence Fishburne]

Dr. Emil Hamilton is listed - at first he created devices to defeat Superman but then eventually became his Scientific Advisor - my guess if Zod doesn't have a small bit part, Hamilton is the reason why we see Superman in hand cuffs [or maybe Zod will play a role in causing Hamilton to switch sides and help Superman?]

Threat Analyst - makes sense since we saw footage of Superman sparring off with the military

Dialogue from the official trailers and the comic con video makes it sound like Superman won't be the same ultimate mr nice guy nor be loved/adored as he was in the original movies.

Probably the best you'll get. Still can see most of it though.

There goes another actors career!

 

[Zeze]

Superman is boring to me because:

1. Archtypical good hero. No particular inner conflicts. Just do 'good' deeds like a bumbling jock.

2. Too strong.

Why is Superman so slow in that trailer? He barely broke sonic boom. He can circle the entire fvcking globe in 1 second or faster, no?

 

[Chiropteran]

Two Words: Christopher Nolan.

Yeah, I'll watch it for this reason alone. Though I prefer Nolan's original work more than his superhero movies, it's all worth seeing.

People were so hyped when this trailer played in theaters.
