Joe Manganiello: "I was depressed after 'Superman' loss"

  Joe Manganiello has recently revealed that he had a hard time coping with the fact that he lost the opportunity to play Superman in Zack Snyder´s upcoming reboot, Man of Steel.

 The True Blood star told Digital Spy:

 "[Warner Bros] wanted me to screen test and part of the screen test process is that they actually have to settle your deal, as if you were cast going into a screen before you get the screen test.

 And so that involved settling of shooting schedule and the dates for shooting Superman would have conflicted with 11 weeks of season five [of True Blood]. 

 And as it turns out they had big plans for my character in season five and they were not willing to share me with Superman. So regrettably I never got to screen test and I never got to compete for the role. I never got to put on the suit."

 Manganiello added how frustrated he felt that he did not get to try out for the dreamed role:

 "This was back in January. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't... I was really, severely depressed for a few months. For a few months afterwards. 

 Because I really thought the direction they were taking the movie and the character, I really thought I had a great idea where to take that and I was very excited and I just wanted to try out my ideas and things. But, you know, it just wasn't meant to be."

 Do you believe Manganiello would have been a good choice to play Superman?

Henry Cavill Talks Superman

 

 As the new face of Superman, Henry Cavill knows his days as an unknown actor are over and that the expectations for his performance on Man of Steel are pretty high.

 Just recently he commented with Total Film on his experience so far playing the iconic character:

 “I’m on 5000 calories a day… You’ve got to eat protein first, then a little bit of carbs…you’ve gotta keep your hunger levels going. I’m training two and a half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.”

  

 Cavill also took the time to reflect on what it was like to put on the Superman costume for the very first time:

 “It’s extremely cool. There’s no other feeling like it. […] They just put it on, I turned around and look in the mirror and you can’t really play it cool – you sort of guffaw and laugh. I thought ‘OK, holy hell, this is real, it’s not a joke anymore. This is it…you’re doing it, you’re right in the middle of it.’”

 Do you believe Cavill will make a good Superman?

Christopher Meloni Joins "Superman: Man of Steel"

 After leaving the hit show, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Christopher Meloni has confirmed that he has joined Zack Snyder´s Superman reboot.

 When asked about the role he will be playing Meloni told Vulture that he could not reveal further details about the film but did confirm that he will be playing "a general". Rumours have been flying around that Meloni could be playing Superman´s most popular nemesis, Lex Luthor.

 "I can't tell you, or I'd have to kill you," the actor said when asked for more information about his character.

 Meloni joins a cast that includes Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Antje Traue, Michael Shannon, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe and Julia Ormond. 

 The film is expected to hit theaters on December 2012.

Amy Adams Is The New Lois Lane

 Superman has found his Lois Lane. Warner Bros has confirmed Amy Adams has joined the cast of the new Superman reboot as the superhero´s romantic interest.

  Director Zack Snyder could not be happier with his choice: "Amy has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful," he said in a statement.

 Superman will begin shooting in August with a cast that includes Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, and  Henry Cavill as the title character. It is expected for the movie to be released in December 2012.

 Personally, we believe casting Adams as Lois Lane is an excellent choice as she has proven to have both dramatic and comedic abilities in previous roles in films such as Enchanted or The Fighter.

What do you guys think?

Kevin Costner Joins 'Superman'

 Zack Snyder´s Superman has another star joining the cast: Kevin Costner. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor will play Jonathan Kent, Clark Kent´s adoptive father on Earth. 

 Costner joins a cast that includes Diane Lane as Martha Kent, and Henry Cavill as Superman. No word yet on whether Costner´s character will suffer the same fate as it did on the original Richard Donner Superman movie and die from a heart attack.

 Do you believe that Costner is a good addition to the new version of the Man Of Steel?

Diane Lane Joins New Superman Movie

 Warner Bros Pictures has announced that Academy Award nominated actress Diane Lane has joined the cast of the upcoming Superman movie as Martha Kent, the mother of the superhero on Earth.

 The official press release reads as follows:

 Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced today that Oscar®-nominated actress Diane Lane will play Martha Kent, the only mother Clark Kent has ever known, in the new Superman movie to be directed by Zack Snyder. Snyder stated, “This was a very important piece of casting for me because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we know as Superman. We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers beyond her imagination.” Lane will star with Henry Cavill, who was recently announced as the new Clark Kent/Superman.

 Lane earned an Academy Award® nomination for her performance in the 2002 drama “Unfaithful.” She most recently starred in the family hit “Secretariat.” She next stars in the HBO feature “Cinema Verite,” opposite Tim Robbins and James Gandolfini. Lane’s long list of film credits also includes “Nights in Rodanthe,” “Hollywoodland,” “Must Love Dogs,” “Under the Tuscan Sun,” “Perfect Storm,” “My Dog Skip,” “Chaplin,” “The Cotton Club” and “A Little Romance,” to name only a portion.

 Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder are the producers of the film. The screenplay is being written by David S. Goyer based on a story by Goyer and Nolan. Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips are serving as executive producers. Slated for release in December 2012, the new Superman movie will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Henry Cavill Covers Entertainment Weekly!

 The new face of Superman, Henry Cavill, graces the cover of Entertainment Weekly on a special issue dedicated to the new generation of superheroes.

 The magazine also deals with Cavill´s audition to portray the man of steel which involved the actor shooting a screen test wearing a replica of Christopher Reeve’s Superman suit.

 Cavill recalls the feeling he had at the moment while an assistant helped him put on the Super-suit:  “All I could think was: Oh, god. They’re going to look at me and go ‘He’s not Superman. Not a chance.’ The actor inside me was going: You’re not ready! You’re not ready!”

 Director, Zack Snyder, however saw something completely different: “He walked out, and no one laughed. Other actors put that suit on, and it’s a joke, even if they’re great actors. Henry put it on, and he exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go ‘Wow.’ Okay: This was Superman.’’

The new issue of Entertainment Weekly is out now. Do you feel Snyder made the right choice with Cavill?

Henry Cavill Is The New Face Of Superman

 It´s the beginning of a new era! Warner Bros Pictures has oficially announced today that actor Henry Cavill ("Stardust", "The Tudors") will portray Superman in the upcoming film directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan.

 Apparently, this is not the first time that the actor tries for the role of Clark Kent, as he was very close to scoring the part back when "Superman Returns" had McG attached as director, and before Bryan Singer took over, casting Brandon Routh instead.

 The official press release reads as follows:

 "Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced today that Henry Cavill has won the coveted role of Superman, the iconic superhero.

 The film will be directed by Zack Snyder, who stated, “In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.”

 The new Superman film is set for a December 2012 release. 

  I personally believe that they made the right decision by sticking to an actor that is not widely known but clearly looks the part.

 What do you guys think? Have the producers made the right casting choice? Sound off in the comments!

Hans Zimmer denies 'Superman' rumours

 A few days back, it was reported that Hans Zimmer had agreed to score Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman reboot. However, The Dark Knight composer has stated that the rumours originated from a "dirty quote taken out of context".

"Let’s just be absolutely straight here: I have never in my life met Zack Snyder. I think I need to give him a ring," he said.

 Fortunately for all Superman fans, Zimmer not only stated that his "heart belongs to Batman" but he praised John Williams for his work on the previous movies: "John Williams [is] the greatest living composer - full stop. And [Superman] happens to be one of his greatest themes," he commented. "So no. And I'm not thinking of rewriting Beethoven's ninth either. It just sounds like a thankless task, you know? So that's unequivocally a no."

This is certainly good news for fans of the superhero, as there is still a strong possibility that John Williams original theme may be included in the score of the new movie after all.

 What do you guys think? Do you believe Zimmer's statement about Williams is fair or exaggerated?

Hans Zimmer will provide the score for 'Superman'

 The Superman reboot is starting to become a reality and the latest development involves its music. According to Thompson on Hollywood, popular composer Hans Zimmer will be the responsible for scoring the film. At this point in time very little information has been revealed, although it has been confirmed that Zimmer will not attempt to reproduce the iconic Superman theme that John Williams composed for the original back in the late 70's.

 Zimmer will begin to work on the project once he is finished completing the scores for Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Sherlock Holmes 2 and Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom Of Doom.

I'm really glad that they have chosen Zimmer for the job, his work for films such as The Dark Knight or Inception was magnificent, but i'm not really sure that they should avoid reproducing  the classic Superman theme by John Williams. You don't mess with iconic symbols like that (think of Indiana Jones or Star Wars without their main themes, for instance).

 What do you think? Are you happy with Zimmer trying out for something new? Let me know in the comments!

Is Anne Hathaway the new Lois Lane?

 According to What's Playing, Anne Hathaway is being considered for the precious role of Superman's romantic interest, Lois Lane. The actress has recently claimed to the LA Times that she wanted to take a break from romantic comedies, a genre where she has been very successful in the past, and try something new such as science-fiction.

 If the rumours are true, Zack Snyder's new Superman film may be the perfect career move for Hathaway. Meanwhile, there is no word yet on who will play the man of steel but Snyder has made it clear that he wants to cast an unknown to play the superhero. 

 This project is becoming more and more appealing by the minute. Hathaway is funny, gorgeous and talented, I could definitely see her playing Lois Lane on the big screen.

 What do you think? Would you be happy with that choice, or would you rather pick someone else?

New details about "Superman" reboot

  It was announced earlier this week that the director for the new "Superman" movie produced by Christopher Nolan will be Zack Snyder ("Watchmen" , "300") and now he has spoken to MTV news about the project. "All I'll say is that those guys, Chris and David [Goyer], have created an amazing story," Snyder said. "The 'Why [remake] Superman?' is definitely being looked at with care, that's all I could hope for as a director."

  Snyder was chosen for the project from a shortlist of filmmakers that included Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler), Duncan Jones (Moon), Ben Affleck (The Town) and Matt Reeves (Cloverfield).

  Apparently, Snyder is a fan of the comic book superhero: "It's early yet, but I can tell you that what David  and Chris have done with the story so far definitely has given me a great insight into a way to make him feel modern. I've always felt he was kind of awesome."

No word yet on who will play the Man of Steele but here's hoping they cast an unknown for the role. I certainly wouldn't mind if Brandon Routh came back for this, he hasn't done much since that movie came out and he was believable as Superman.

Who would you cast for the role? Let me know in the comments!
