It's only thirty seconds long, but this new spot for Man of Steel nonetheless manages to squeeze in some new footage while reiterating the massive scale of the film. Have a look below, but be forewarned: Kevin Costner is so epically fatherly, you're going to disown your own dad and start taking The Postman seriously.
We won't know for another couple months whether director Zack Snyder has pushed beyond his tone-deaf veneer of slick visual bombast for The Man of Steel, but he sure has made some nice-looking commercials. Here's the latest, which at last pushes beyond all the dramatic exposition of earlier trailers to reveal even more dramatic exposition. But also, thankfully, some glimpses of large-scale action, which even in its briefness seems to demonstrate the hero's strength and speed better than it's maybe ever been shown before.
As the film seems to be either a fourteen-hour miniseries or told entirely in montage, there's a lot more to take in from the three-minute preview, too, even without any Laurence Fishburne. Here you'll also see: Krypton! Additional supportive fatherhood (Russell Crowe's Jor-El joins Kevin Costner's Pa Kent to fight for #1 Dad)! A younger, pre-goatee General Zod! Energy beams! Planes! Christopher Reeves rising from the grave to give a thumbs up--and then he walks! Amy Adams delights. It's got pretty much everything a fan would want to see in a Superman movie. Except for anyone ever being called "Superman." You'll have to guess which character that is.
From the new Entertainment Weekly (by way of /Film scanners), here are some new photos from [visionary] Zack Snyder's upcoming Man of Steel. Prepare yourself for a lot of intense staring, and have a look below.
From TotalFilm, here's our first clear look at Amy Adams' Lois Lane--and a new glimpse of the unitard-wearing man always looming behind her, tightening his fists and glaring when you casually ask what she does for a living. See them both this June in Man of Steel, then step off, bro.
From Empire Magazine, here are some new photos from two of the year's most anticipated films about invincible men using their muscles and magic powers to fight bad guys. Enjoy/ scrutinize/whatever below.
Superman has gotten really dramatic, everyone. Well, except for when his chest catches on fire. He's pretty casual about that. Have a look:
From the cover of Studio Ciné Live (via), a new look at the Superman that will save you, but first wants you to answer whether you even lift, bro.
He may allow himself to be handcuffed, but Superman will not let a rubber suit restrain his abs in this new Man of Steel poster that strongly hints at the film's new, darker take on the superhero. This Superman is totally going to frown. Full one-sheet below.
The CGI avatar of Kellan Lutz is getting some loincloth-draped company.
Who says a superhero movie can't be pieced together entirely from the "Americana" and "Gone Fishin'" stock footage collections? Director Zack Snyder this weekend made his case for the matter with the first Man of Steel teaser, which debuted before The Dark Knight Rises in two voice-over varieties: Superman's Kryptonian dad Russell Crowe and adoptive dad Kevin Costner.
Both teasers feature fatherly encouragement that goes far beyond our dads' persistent reminders to stay out of his sock drawer, but neither really gives you much of a look at Superman himself. For more of the man himself in costume, have a look at the lengthier Comic Con trailer that also recently made its way online. It's bootlegged, but this particular recording is decent enough to at least give you an idea of some of the dramatic, consistently-windblown scenes Snyder has planned for us.
