So it begins. What did Nolan and the WB expect? I still don't get why the Nolan brothers didn't do this themselves.

They are both kinda done with superheroes from the sounds of it.

Well, I hope thats just a rumor. I don't want to see my hometown associated with a POS film.

 

[Blader]

I could have told you day one that a Snyder product would be a shitty product, WB!

The Wachowskis would have been a slam dunk for this. Such an obvious choice.

I can't even cite Speed Racer's box office to refute this because Snyder's last three movies were duds :lol

It's 2012, not 2002. Wachowskis aren't even an obvious choice for Assassins 2 at this point.

 

[Solo]

How long til this gets delayed 6 months for extensive reshoots and we find out Nolan is doing them as Snyder has been let go?

Keep dreaming, brother. Keep dreaming.

 

[Solo]

Keep dreaming, brother. Keep dreaming.

I meant the other Nolan. No, not him, the other Nolan. The murderer.

That would have been fantastic.

"Heard rumblings from multiple people today that WB/Nolan aren't happy with early cuts of Snyder's Man of Steel."

God damn it Snyder.

Wow.

 

[Gray Man]

I fear for Superman... This is NOT the time for him to fail :/ I feel like the character is slipping from relevancy.

Why do we fall Master Kent?

His next tweet admits it's just gossip. smh

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Warner Bros. only have themselves to blame. Sucker Punch should have being enough for them to throw their hands up and move in a different direction.

 

[Solo]

Why do we fall Master Kent?

So that Batman can rip off our heads and shit down our necks.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Even though I hate Speed Racer I agree with Solo. Wachowskis would be perfect for Superman.

 

[Tesseract]

Snyder can get Supes to punch stuff, and that's great, but does it get the inspirational love he has for humanity? When all hope is lost, Superman will save us.

you know, i really would love to see a superman movie that is basically two hours of this.

*edit* i'm just gonna stop posting for the night. i'm writing like shit.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

2015 reboot confirmed.

Two words: Will Smith.

 

[Cheddahz]

C'mon, the last Superman had vegan powers! He was the perfect Superman!

 

[DonasaurusRex]

when is this film slated to come out? end of this year DEC?

 

[DrBo42]

So it begins. What did Nolan and the WB expect? I still don't get why the Nolan brothers didn't do this themselves.

Well obviously WB didn't 100% trust Snyder which is why Nolan is involved at all. Didn't pretty much everyone see disappointment coming?

 

[Solo]

when is this film slated to come out? end of this year DEC?

Next summer. Plenty of time for reshoots and/or studio edit hatchet work.

This movie is about to get the ASM treatment.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Next year I think.

Of course, this is all just gossip. I'm sure we'll all leave Comic Con impressed with Man of Steel footage.
7 minutes ago

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I fear for Superman... This is NOT the time for him to fail :/ I feel like the character is slipping from relevancy.

There's long been wholly unfounded speculation that Warner Bros is diminishing the cultural and media relevance of the Superman franchise in an attempt to devalue the character, because of the ongoing legal battle with Toberoff and the Siegel/Schuster estates.

 

[TheKaeptain]

When this movie sucks you have my permission to kick Snyders ass.

 

[Lebron]

Of course Nolan is disappointed, probably has too much legit action of Supes fucking shit up. Nolan don't know about that action.

 

[Solo]

I guess the good news is that if this tanks it will be the final nail in Snyder's theatrical coffin and he can go back to music videos or whatever he was doing before he brought the slo-mo plague on us.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Of course Nolan is disappointed, probably has too much legit action of Supes fucking shit up. Nolan don't know about that action.

Comic Con exclusive footage is just four minutes of Superman punching Zod in the face. Once.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I would like to see what comes out if he directs more animation.

 

[rollingstart]

All that slow-fast-slow hasn't been added yet. Nolan must have been upset by the 47 minute cut he watched.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Of course Nolan is disappointed, probably has too much legit action of Supes fucking shit up. Nolan don't know about that action.

Synder is a horrible action director. I'd take Inception action over Snyders' "okay he starts to throw a punch and...

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Well obviously WB didn't 100% trust Snyder which is why Nolan is involved at all.

That's not true. Nolan being involved has zero to do with Snyder. As a matter of fact, Nolan has not been involved AT ALL since Snyder came on.

 

[Solo]

I wouldn't put any stock into whatever gets shown at CC anyways. Movie could be shit on a stick and they could still cut an amazing promo for it (ala SR). Or it could actually turn out to be good and maybe the promo they show underwhelms. Either way, I won't be putting much into it.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

Next year I think.

oh theres still hope...sorta.... , long as they dont pull another Green Lantern.

 

[Blader]

His next tweet admits it's just gossip. smh

As opposed to what, a press release? Of course it's gossip, that's what "rumblings" are.

 

[Lebron]

Sent Zod flying around the Earth so many times he turned back time

 

[Mariolee]

Next summer. Plenty of time for reshoots and/or studio edit hatchet work.

This movie is about to get the ASM treatment.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK NO. ASM got hacked to hell because of a studio with cold feet, Superman can't afford to do the same, especially after failing one reboot.

Comic Con exclusive footage is just four minutes of Superman punching Zod in the face. Once.

Revolutionary ripple effects on Zod's cheeks will be applied to really bring excitement to the unprecedented four minute long punch.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

News over twitter? Lol! It's bullshit, people.

 

[dtrush]

not surprised, an insider at another forum I post on mentioned back in April that "Superman looks like garbage." fwiw heh

 

[TheKaeptain]

News over twitter? Lol! It's bullshit, people.

You haven't been paying attention to the way news is reported now of days have you? Twitter is always first.

God damn it Snyder.

Calling bullshit since Nolan no longer has anything to do with the project. He finished his involvement before shooting started.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Comic Con exclusive footage is just four minutes of Superman punching Zod in the face. Once.

The tech in Man of Steel will be used in Fight Night games for years to come.

And if the movie kinda sucks like all the other Superman films, hey...there's always the next reboot

 

[Blader]

He's a producer, he'd still be privy to screening cuts of the film.

 

[TheKaeptain]

He's a producer which means he has money in this. Of course he would watch the movie before anyone else.

Sucker punch had good action. I'm not saying it was a good movie, but it's action was good.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

shoulda waited and used Pfister

 

[ezekial45]

shoulda waited and used Pfister

He's retired from cinematography and is working on his first directorial effort.

EDIT: Anyway, i'm not gonna believe this gossip.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Sucker punch had good action. I'm not saying it was a good movie, but it's action was good.

Nope. Fucking boring.

He's retired from cinematography and is working on his first directorial effort.

I think he meant that Wally should have been the one directing it.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Nope. Fucking boring.

Good action is boring without any story.

At least it is for me.

 

[Router]

Yes, I know he is a producer. Nolan has said many times however that his main point of work involved in helping getting the script up and running... He left the production over a year ago.

http://www.worldofsuperheroes.com/f...efly-about-his-involvement-with-man-of-steel/

It’s Zack’s movie so it’d be a bit rude of me to turn up and say I’ve got a few ideas now,” laughs the director when talk turned to his involvement with Man of Steel. “My big point of responsibility was helping shepard David’s script. When I’m finished with this I’ll be there for whatever Zack wants from me, but it’s very much his movie.”
