Look, up in the sky. It's a bird. No, it's a plane. No, it's Christopher Reeve, I mean Brandon Routh no isn't that Tom Welling? Nope it is not going to be one of these guys. The casting is set and the winner is..... Henry Cavill who will done the cape for the new installment hitting our cinemas in 2012. Don't know the name? Me neither. But good on him. All the past Superman's have been unknown and then catapulted into the spotlight. The dude is most famous for his role in The Tudors (I've never seen it) But hey he must have impressed the people at Warner Brothers as well as the talented director Zack Snyder. This Superman is not going to be like anything we have seen. Firstly, Synder is helming the project. For anyone who is not familiar with the man's work, you only have to look at his style to see how he is going to make this an awesome film. Synder brought the blue screen to use in 300. Which then lead onto Watchmen. A underground comic book which showed that comic books are edgy and dark and twisted. And we only have to look at his new film Sucker Punch (read previous blog entries for full synopsis) about girls who kick ass to realise this is one director who is going to turn the Superman franchise into something unique and well in a word, impressive. With a screenplay by David S. Goyer who brought the Batman franchise back from the dead, it looks like all the right ingredients are there. Come 2012, Superman will rise from the ashes and show that a man really can fly.
