That's all you can really ask for with one of these.

Peek behind the curtain with Russell Crowe:

Quote:

It's really complicated, it's really complex. I don't think anyone's really tried to get into the psychology of what it must be like to be Superman. And [how] people would really respond in a modern society if someone like that popped up. Zack Snyder who directed Watchmen, who directed 300 and a few other things, he was given a great deal of responsibility. Because when it comes to comic book heroes and superhero films, at the top of the food chain is Superman.

I think the biggest indicator for me as to how it's looking is that the financier of the film, a lovely fellow by the name of Thomas Tull- quite a reticent man, doesn't mince his word, he's sent me dashing e-mails, he just loves it and thinks its going to go down really well.

I'm really looking forward to seeing it. It's a massive undertaking, the type of sets we worked on in that film were incredible. It takes you to the ground on Krypton. It takes you to a planet where the sun is four times larger than ours. I think people are going to love it and if you've seen the trailer, you realize that this Superman is not just floating through the air, held up by a wire. This Superman is supersonic, when he decides to fly, he doesn't muck around.

I'm really looking forward to the way people respond to it.

Sounds like they considered the physics of what they were trying to accomplish, here. I always appreciate that.

Jimmy Olsen is now a woman named Jenny Olsen?

Quote:

And in the latest trailer, there's a brief shot of Perry White (played by Laurence Fishburne) running away from some sort of destruction with a person who looks a lot like Buller keeping up alongside him.

Quote:

If Jimmy has indeed become Jenny, it falls in line with other revisions that Snyder has made to some of the movie's characters. Lois, as played by Amy Adams, is now a redhead instead of the brunette she's been since time immemorial; Fishburne, in case you hadn't noticed, is African-American, while Perry White has traditionally been an older Caucasian man in every version of Superman that ever existed -- heck, even his last name is White.

Perry is black? Lois is a redhead?? Jimmy is a girl??? I guess it's not just Marvel that can make fundamental character changes.

This movie could include the craziest cameo since The Crow sequel.

Who is that?

Quote:

Yes, it looks suspiciously like a man dressed as Christopher Reeve's Clark Kent. Take this with a grain of salt, but it's looking very possible that the out-of-the-box-thinking cameo may be a CGI Christopher Reeve. If handled properly, that's very exciting and a lovely homage to the man who, for so many of us, has been and always will be Superman.

Certainly an intriguing possibility.

How strong is Superman in this movie and how long will the film focus on Krypton? Zack Snyder has answers.

Quote:

It's amazing what [Superman] is capable of but [our version is] a slightly more down to Earth version of the character. I don't think he can hold up a continent... Superman has been broken for a little while.

Quote:

We try to flesh out Krypton and its different political factions, it's fauna, it's science. [Russell Crowe’s Jor-El is] not a cameo. I think people think he's playing the Marlon Brando role, which isn't necessarily the case.
