Ben Affleck and Matt Damon haven’t done anything new together since 1997’s, “Good Will Hunting”, in which they both won an Oscar for, “Best Screenplay”. The two best friends will finally get together again for the big screen. They will take on the story of Whitey Bulger, the notorious mob boss from Boston, who was just captured in California, earlier this year.
The script will be written by “Boardwalk Empire”, creator and writer, Terrence Winter. Ben Affleck will direct and co-star as Whitey Bulger. Matt Damon will have a role as well. Warner Bros. also asked Ben if he’ll direct a new version of Stephen King’s “The Stand” but Ben has not yet responded if he will or not. I have a feeling that Ben will not direct, “The Stand” due to agreeing with the Whitey Bulger project instead.
Very nice! I really enjoyed that movie, “The Town”. I’m not much of a Ben Affleck fan either, but “The Town” was awesome. I think that was his best movie in a long time. I’m sure Ben will make the Whitey Bulger movie violent and action packed as well.
Ben and Matt’s been best friends for years, they grew up together. Nice to see them do something again, finally.
When photos of the new Superman suit have been released, Henry have been accused of having a fake muscular physique. People claimed the muscles were part of the costume design. Well, here’s your proof that Henry really is jacked.
I believe they’re filming in Alaska in these pics.
You see, folks, in my own bodybuilding world, that’s the kind of physique I’m going after. Perfect example of what I want to look like. Nothing too big, just a medium built, like Henry’s.
The more I see behind the scenes pics of, “Man of Steel”, the more I begin to think it’s “Superman: Begins”, much like, “Batman: Begins”. Look like Clark Kent will start off with a full beard in the opening scenes of the movie.
I’m more looking forward to seeing pics of Michael Shannon as, General Zod. They haven’t shown us yet.
We now know what Henry Cavill looks like as Superman in costume. Well, here’s your first look at Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Superman’s Krypton father, on the set of Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel”. Pretty cool. I like it. Definitely different than the Marlon Brando version.
Lets hope we see a pic of Michael Shannon as General Zod soon. That’s what I’m most looking forward to see.
the Man of Steel, IMDB lists John Williams as Original Score, but they still list Tyler Bates in the music department. This doesn’t mean it’s confirmed ’cause IMDB is not a reliable site.
I’ll believe it when I hear a confirmation from Zack Snyder, Warner Bros. or Christopher Nolan. I’m sure Zack is going to get asked about the Superman theme when he starts doing interviews again. We’ll wait and see.
Before Russell Crowe was hired to play Jor-El, Supes father, for Zack Snyder’s, “Man of Steel”, film, Russell really wasn’t the original choice to play the character. The Hollywood Reporter, reveals that, Sean Penn, and, Clive Owen, were originally considered, but they must of turned the role down.
Interesting choices! I can see why Sean would turn it down because superhero movies probably was never his thing. I can definitely see Sean playing the part though. Clive Owen’s a good actor too.
I’m sure Russell will do a good job. I hope Warner Bros. will release a pic so they can show us all what Russell looks like as, Jor-El.
A troubled Mel Gibson could return to work as a producer this time around. Mel Gibson and writer, Joe Eszterhas, will team up to make a movie about, Judas Maccabeus. Warner Bros. will bring us the film. They at first, wanted Mel to direct this movie but I guess he wanted to be producer instead.
I can see why this is controversial, since Mel’s 2006 anti-semitic rant, when he blamed the Jews for all the wars in the world, but I think that’s why Warner Bros. gave him this job to begin with. That news was pretty huge in the media, controversy can be good sometimes.
It seems that Mel has been staying away from directing movies as of late. I guess directing is too overwhelming for him so he decided to be an actor in other films and produce this movie.
Ever since the Behind the Scenes pics of Snyder’s “Man of Steel” began surfacing the web, there is this mysterious guy in a mo-cap costume. The internet has been debating on trying to figure out who or what that mo-cap thing is. Well, the mo-cap mystery has finally been solved.
The guy in the mo-cap on the left, is indeed Michael Shannon. He also confirms that General Zod will be a CGI character.
There’s a huge debate online through movie forums and blogs on whether or not Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” film should keep the John Williams “Superman” theme for the opening title sequence, of the new film. Should they keep the theme song?
Of course, there are mixed reactions to this….
Some people do want the song because they feel it’s not a Superman movie without it.
Some people don’t want the song. Some fans say that Zack and Christopher Nolan should trash the theme song and go for something different since this is a reboot and has nothing to do with the early Superman films. Some claim it wouldn’t make sense if they still used the main theme.
So what are my thoughts to all of this? I agree that they need to KEEP the original theme. If they want to hire a different composer and change the song around with different styles and arrangements, I’m fine with that, but they shouldn’t ignore it completely. I mean, every Superman movie had a different composer but they still used the JW’s theme song, but each version had a different arrangement to it. If they use the original theme, I’m cool with that too.
I think the theme song is needed for so many reasons. 1) The theme song was made for Superman character himself, not for the actual movies 2) They need to get the audience pumped up and excited before the movie starts 3) They need to stay true with the Superman character.
The reason JW’s “Superman” theme is debatable on the internet now is because, Zack Snyder haven’t confirmed anyone for a composer for “Man of Steel”. Plus, Zack never said anything if he will use JW’s legendary score or not. I’m sure we’ll hear something soon. In Hollywood films, the film crew would mostly hire a music composer after the film is done ’cause they score the film in an orchestra setting while the movie is playing on screen. That’s how they do it.
Think about it, if they use a different theme song, people won’t get used to Superman anymore. It might turn the new fans off and it won’t be as successful in the box office. It won’t be as exciting and fun. I love the Superman theme. It certainly pumps me up and puts a smile on my face when I watch a Superman movie. That’s what the audience needs for this film.
If they used a different composer for Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” movie, I don’t care who the composer is. NOBODY, I mean, NOBODY, is ever going to top JW’s legendary score. In my opinion, I think Zack and Chris are going to use the song. I think Warner Bros. would want them to use it. I hope they use it.
Here are two photos of Christopher Meloni from Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” film. The first photo is Chris leaving the set of filming and the second photo is Chris enjoying a break at a public pool. Filming of Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” is happening in Plano, Illinois.
Chris is playing a military general in “Man of Steel” so far, no pics of him in his military costume yet for the film. I’m sure they’ll start showing up at some point.
