Laurence Fishburne Signing On For 'Perry White' In Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel!

Laurence Fishburne Signing On For 'Perry White' In Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel!

Recent reports suggest that The Matrix Oscar-nominated actor Laurence Fishburne is the latest to join Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, Man Of Steel as Perry White. Check it!

The folks from Entertainment Weekly, as well other reliable sources, are reporting that Oscar-nominated actor Laurence Fishburne is rounding out the star-studded cast of Zack Snyder's 'Superman' reboot, Man Of Steel. Filling in the shoes of Daily Planet editor-in-chief, Perry White, the site states verbatim:

Lois Lane and Clark Kent just got their boss: Laurence Fishburne will play Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White in Man of Steel, EW has learned exclusively. White has traditionally been a hard-charging, old fashioned newspaperman, who relies on his ace reporters, Clark and Lois, to get the big scoop.​

Laurence Fishburne, 50, gave an Oscar-nominated performance as 'Ike Turner' in What's Love Got to Do With It, alongside leading actress Angela Bassett. And hes also appeared in The Matrix, Mystic River and Apocalypse Now.

Like EW suggests, Perry White is the abrasive, old-school newsman who lords over the the Daily Planet. However, while Fishburne is evidently African-American, in the comics, the character is portrayed as a Caucasian. What do you think?

You said Capt. America sucked. That seals it for me. Superman will be a box office blockbuster!

And the movie would probably do well with a more brutal Superman.

The character is often criticized for being a big blue Boy Scout.

At least one comedian mocked the song "You Don't Mess Around With Jim".

YouTube Video

"You don't tug on Superman's cape" go the lyrics. The comedian asked something like,
"Why not? What's Superman going to do? Ask you to please not do that, sir?"

If I recall correctly, the comic went on to say that Batman is the one you wouldn't tug on his cape.

He'd break your face.

Plus if they make Clark Kent a Christopher Reeve wussy I hope the movie fails at the box office.
RIP Reeve, but I hated his Kent.

George Reeves, otoh, did a great Clark. :thumbs:

Henry Cavill On The Influx Of British Actors In Hollywood And His Post Man Of Steel Plans!

Henry Cavill On The Influx Of British Actors In Hollywood And His Post Man Of Steel Plans!

Sharing his thoughts on why British actors suddenly seem to be taking over Hollywood, check out what Cavill had to say about both that and his plans once work on Man of Steel wraps up...
cavillman.jpg
Talking to Total Film in a recent interview, British actor Henry Cavill has shared his thoughts on the sudden influx of his fellow Brits taking over Hollywood. Need an example? Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, Christian Bale as Batman, Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. (to name just a few recent comic book TV/movie related actors!)

"I think maybe it???s an experience thing", Cavill revealed. I???ve done quite a few jobs over an 11-year career and maybe it just so happens that all the Brits are hitting their peak at the same time. No matter what age we are, we just seem to be coming into our stride. Maybe there are lots of people out there who haven???t been seen yet. So we???ll have to wait and see!"

"It???s great to have as many great actors out there as possible because it doesn???t have to limited to just a few good actors. The more good actors the better. We can bloody well work together and make great movies together."

As for what he has planned after Man of Steel, Cavill revealed that he's not ruling any type of role out. "I want to do everything! Maybe a fantasy type thing or some historical fiction. Maybe a sci-fi..."

Any other roles in particular you'd like to see Henry Cavill go after?

Why not?

Have you heard his voice? Fishburne will be perfect for this role.

I like it when they keep it within the character, look at J.K. Simmons role as J. Jonah Jameson from Spiderman...that was spot on.

Fishburn may have the voice but he would be better of as a narrator.

I wish they would use Pee Wee Herman as Shaft.
 
Man of Steel & The Pastor

Man of Steel & The Pastor

One of the great things about a movie that films on location is that the residents simply never know when they and Hollywood will come together. Such was the case with Pastor Scott Hodge at the Orchard Community campus, who encountered Superman himself as Man of Steel was shooting.
According to Hodge's blog, it began several months ago when a Warner Brothers location scout came to the Orchard campus in the hope of securing it as a kind of home base for the cast and crew, which the staff was told would be shooting throughout the summer.

33337L.jpg


"This would," he wrote, "essentially mean renting our entire campus (building and parking lot) for about three full days where it would be used for the storage of the cast???s trailers, trucks, holding spaces for extras, rooms for the makeup and wardrobe departments, and space for the caterers to serve breakfast and lunch each day to a couple hundred cast and crew. So after lots of consideration, conversation, contract reviews, etc???we gave them a thumb???s up???.AND THEN worked really hard at keeping it all a secret (which wasn???t easy by the way!) until it was all said and done."

All of that took place last week and it's obvious that Hodge and everyone else there thoroughly enjoyed the experience despite the fact that the campus was "flipped upside down" by the fact that they were invaded by a couple of hundred people.

Enthuses Hodge, "It was a ton of fun and a real pleasure to host what was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was kind of surreal too, seeing celebrities walking past my office window and down the hallways of The Orchard. WHO, SCOTT, WHO??! Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Zack Snyder (Director), and Superman himself ??? Henry Cavill. (Sorry ladies, no Russell Crowe sightings??? Fun times???great memories???and some fun stories to tell."

The official synopsis for Man of Steel reads as follows: "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."

UPDATE: Michael Shannon As Zod In Mo-Cap Suit On The "Kent Farm" Set Of Man Of Steel!

UPDATE: Michael Shannon As Zod In Mo-Cap Suit On The "Kent Farm" Set Of Man Of Steel!

The latest photo from the Man of Steel "Kent Farm" set featuring Michael Shannon in a mo-cap suit as the villainous Zod, while Diane Lane's Martha Kent has been seen as well! Russell Crowe's Jor-El also spotted?
The Superman: Man of Steel (2013) Facebook Page have yet another awesome scoop, this time in the form of what appears to be Michael Shannon as Zod on the "Kent Farm" set of the Zack Snyder helmed movie. It seems that they'll be giving him a very different suit with the use motion-capture in comparison to that of Henry Cavill who was spotted wearing a fully practical costume yesterday.

Henry Cavill As Clark Kent Filming Scenes At A Firehouse For Man Of Steel

A glassesless Henry Cavill was spotted at the firehouse in Plano, IL shooting scenes for his upcoming role as Clark Kent/Superman for Man Of Steel.

Photographer Deanna Tickle has snapped some shots of Henry Cavill filming at a Plano fire station and posted them on The Man Of Steel Facebook Page. The photographs while not significant do show that Cavill does not appear to be wearing the Clark Kent traditional glasses.

New Full Shot of Henry Cavill in the Superman Suit!

New Full Shot of Henry Cavill in the Superman Suit!

Check out this new pic of Henry Cavill in the Superman costume, on set, up close, without his cape.
Here's a new frontal picture of Superman on set without his cape from the SuperheroHype boards. It's debatable as to whether SHH or the facebook Superman: Man of Steel (2013) page received the image first, so we'll mention them both!

As you can see in the pic there is no curl and some sort of belt stand in on his waist. Like most have observed, this look is pretty similar to the "Fly By" design.

Great Man Of Steel Set Pics Featuring Supes, Faora & More

Great Man Of Steel Set Pics Featuring Supes, Faora & More

To go along with the full image of Supes below we have a new batch of set pics from today featuring a look at the back of the cape, confirming there will be no "S". There are also some great shots of Faora and "Mo-Cap Man"..
Some close up eh? The Color in the cape also looks much better than any shots we have seen previously. I can't tell if it'd the stunt doubles in the slightly comical pic featuring Faora, Supes and Mo-Cap Man, but that doesn't look to much like Antje Traue to me. What do you think? The thing on Mo-Cap's head looks like a device used to give other actors an eyeline. In other words, this guy COULD be doing motion capture for a much larger character. Let the speculation commence.

I kind of liked the cape which also acted as a shield or other uses.
He looks naked without it.
 
I just noticed he lost the red underwear which is good, nice bulge by the way.
