Superman: Man Of Steel Plot

Mr. Review — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 12:15:30 +0000

More details of the plot of Superman: Man Of Steel seem to have appeared. So what is Zack Snyder up to?
Production has now begun on the Zack Snyder-directed reboot of the Superman franchise, Man Of Steel, and the shoot is set to head to Vancouver towards the end of September, where it’ll then spend the next few months.

As part of the shoot, an open casting call has gone out for the people of Vancouver Island, and as part and parcel of that, a seemingly-official synopsis for the film has appeared.

It reads:

“In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.”

Full details of the casting call can be found over at Superman Homepage, here. And we’ll keep you posted as we hear more about the film.

Things You Need to Know About the Marvel Universe Before Seeing Captain America

Mr. Review — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 09:34:46 +0000

In 2008, Marvel Studios embarked on an incredibly ambitious project. Starting with Iron Man, the company began releasing a series of superhero movies based on their own properties that would eventually be tied together in the team-up movie The Avengers in 2012. The drawback, however, is that not everyone in the world is as obsessed with the characters as their key fanbase and while the films do cater to a wide audience, there are always going to be details that leave sections of the movie-going public saying, “Huh? The good news is that I’m here to help.

Just as I did prior to the release of Iron Man 2 and Thor, I’ve crafted yet another handy guide to the Marvel universe, this time for Captain America: The First Avenger, which comes out this Friday. If you still have no idea what the Cosmic Cube is or who the hell the Howling Commandos are, read on below for the full scoop.

Mr. Review — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 18:00:35 +0000

The numbers are in for the last-ever midnight screenings of a new Harry Potter film, and predictably they’re huge. Actually, they’re even huger than anyone predicted. According to numbers up at Deadline the movie made $43.5 million from midnight screenings last night, shattering the record previously held by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which made just over $30 million last summer selling only 2D tickets.

After dominating the box office last weekend comic book hero flick Thor remained at the top of the heap, hammering its way past the $100 million mark. With $119 million banked in its first ten days it helped to bring this year’s slumping sales performance up a bit, but even with the decent showing from the rest of this weekend’s new entries the box office isn’t out of the woods yet.

Bridesmaids fared well considering that rated R comedies traditionally struggle their way to success. With $24 million it took second place for the weekend. The movie marks Saturday Night Live member Kristen Wiig’s film debut. In an interesting move those cash statisticians at Box Office Mojo have tracked how well each SNL member’s first movie has done. At this rate Wiig will likely land somewhere around sixth place between Chevy Chase’s Foul Play and Bill Murray’s Meatballs.

What You Need To Know About Thor Before Watching The Movie

Mr. Review — Fri, 06 May 2011 14:25:10 +0000

With characters dating back to 1939, and decades of mythology and history, it’s pretty much an impossible task for Marvel Studios to explain every little detail in their films. If they did, the movies would be three hours long and one of the hours would be nothing but exposition. That said, with three movies released since 2008, they’ve done a pretty good job of explaining the stranger bits to those that choose not to read comics. Fortunately, we’re here to fill in some of the gaps.
