Man of Steel 2 begins filming

[PNGwynne]

^Bizarro starts out as Routh, and as he decays, becomes Tom Welling (just for Hector), Dean Cain, John Haynes Newton, George Newburn, Gerard Christopher, Tim Daly, and finally, Bob Holiday.

Chris

Bob Holiday--love it. I pay attention sometimes...

[hedrap]

Thanks Iron! I thought I saw more yellow.

The George Reeves vibe makes sense because that's who Rude built his Superman off of. So by invoking one, you nod to the other.

[Operation:Mego]

Kent farm!

[MIB41]

^^^ Cool. Where is this located?

[Operation:Mego]

^ No idea. Filming is said to begin there next week.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Isn't near that town in Illinois that was used as Smallville in MOS?

Chris

[Operation:Mego]

Yeah, I just read it'll be the same location.

So Zod throws a truck into the living room and Clark can't upgrade the house, lol?

Martha's insurance insurance doesn't cover an Act of Zod.

Thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

DC Entertainment’s co-publisher Jim Lee made a confident statement this week about the Snyder-directed film in the latest issue of Variety:

"Zack is a comic book fan and draws inspiration from the comics. He doesn’t need to be given advice. He’s a talented filmmaker. He’s a super stylized visualist. He’ll do stuff no one has ever done with the caped crusader and blow everyone away. He knows how to take the sensibility of comic books and do what other filmmakers don’t know how to do.”

Sounds like the same quote they gave Schumacher during the filming of B&R. I'm always weary when studios hand full creative control to someone who has never delivered a full on blockbuster in this genre. It doesn't mean it can't happen, because Nolan sure went supernova at the box office after Batman Begins. We'll see.
