You Want Superman Revamp? [Also the Man of Steel (2013) thread]

If the action sequences are going to be typical Snyder, then I'm going to hope 95% of it is Superman trying to get out of a sealed phone booth

careless talk costner lives

what I think would be great is if Superman did all of these great heroic things to offset the fact that every night he turns into a person-eating monster

this looks boring as fuck

Supermange

(xpost)

I blame all of you that went and saw Watchmen for this btw

Jeepers Supers

Hey the trailer sucked me into Watchmen, didn't realize they were going to ratfuck the source mat

I still kind of liked Watchmen

because you are satan

I don't think that's the only reason

I'd be OK with any Superman movie that featured Mxyzptlk, Solomon Grundy, Bizarro and a Prince soundtrack.

it's only the fourth-worst alan moore adaptation, so i mean, comparatively, i enjoyed it myself.

Watchmen wasn't that bad. I enjoyed most of it. It was maybe a little lifeless. The ending was meh.

I should go back and re-read and then I can shit my pants over this movie, maybe.

i'm not impressed with what snyder did with watchmen but could have been soooooo much worse

"mindlessly recreate the book except take out the alien and add more slo-mo kicking" - we've seen more horrifying takes

Watchmen was definitely better than League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and I refused to see From Hell

lol From Hell is better than both of those!

primarily because Hughes Bros actually know how to make a movie

(not that it was actually that good or anything)

I'd be OK with any Superman movie that featured Mxyzptlk, Solomon Grundy, Bizarro and a Prince soundtrack.

see I would totally take my kid to see this

will only watch if Ursa makes an appearance

i've never read league so i could just sit back and think "man when i was a little kid at nerd camp, we would have loved this crap" knowing said nerd camp kids once ran outside and pretended to be characters from spaceballs

i despised watchmen

watching this trailer again, it's hard to tell if it's gonna be good or not. there's some stuff in it that looks promising, and stylistically Snyder has reigned himself in. Really dig the shots of Supes hugging his mom and holding lois' hand. love the Donner superman but its time to get out from under its shadow

michael shannon's gonna be awesome, that's for sure.

i actually just watched the trailer finally and i'm kind of cautiously optimistic!

Shannon is the only thing promising about this

maybe it'll go all miracleman in the final third and an entire city will get ultra-violently destroyed after which benign super-fascist takes over the planet

i mean that's what I'D do

whether as filmmaker or super hero

amy adams is going to be a totally awesome lois lane, if they let her cut loose.

Lois Lane is one of the most thankless 'iconic' characters anyone could ever play, i don't even know what the best case scenario for playing LL is

i'm kinda scared clark will be this emo dude in glasses pouting at her from behind

like at this point in AA's career it almost feels a little beneath her (xp)

i can see this being pretty good, i know it was said before about the teaser but the first 45 seconds or so of the trailer give off a heavy malick/levi's commercial vibe, mystical voiceover + gorgeous midwestern scenery

tree of life but about superheroes is a movie i would really like to see so im just going to pretend this will be that

no way, lois is awesome

oh there have been some decent takes on lois in various comics. i mean, it's not the "iconic" reading, no, where she's a ballbuster to clark and a slavish super-dick devotee otherwise, but there's places you could go.

max i think it will be that, except its gonna be 'father... other father... always u wrestle inside of me'

lol @ comparing Zack Snyder to Terence Malick

I like how now there are at least two pretty intriguing trailers for next June...and the final products rest on M Night Shyamalan and Zack Snyder

well we survived the mayan apocalypse so anything's possible now i guess

wait no we haven't yet

DON'T FUCK IT UP, YOU DOOFS

may you live to see the spawn (of will smith)

lol @ comparing Zack Snyder to Terence Malick

agreed, such an insult to Snyder

Synder's Dawn of the Dead remake was p good, i thought, especially the first twenty minutes or so, but nothing he's done since has filled me w/ much hope.

From Hell is far more of a travesty of the source material than Watchmen is, but then part of the problem w/ Watchmen is its literal-minded fidelity

still, this can't be any worse than Superman Returns, which has to be one of the most disastrous superhero movies of all time. bryan singer is the fucking worst.

Bryan Singer is no Uwe Boll

I grew up with Margot Kidder, who had a raspy chainsmoker's voice and was brusque and bitchy and exactly the right Lois imo.

"malick/levi's commercial" was the devastating part of that post, not that it was re: a snyder movie
