mrman1, you should definitely check out the flying rig machine. From what I remember, it's completely green to go with the green screen shots.

Dumb question:
Why not use wires like every other Hong Kong director? I was speaking idiomatically. |
With Superman Returns they're not only using a 3 axis wire rigging system that allows Brandon Routh to move forward, backwards, side to side but also bank like a fighter jet to one side or simulate the impact of a missile that causes Superman to tumble backwards and repositioning himself and moving forward. They've also got another rig which Routh rests on that can move 360 degrees compared to the old "pole on a stick" from the original movie. While the 2 rigs were mainly used for green screen stuff they also disassembled and used the wire rigging setup on location for stuff like the young Clark Kent from a grain silo into the cornfields, running through them and then jumping out and over the rest of the field. So while the film does have a fair share of green screen/CGI work in it they're also using as much practical effects as possible be it for flying or displaying Superman's powers. Anywho, TV spot #5 is online: http://raincloud.warnerbros.com/wbmo...vspot5_500.mov The best spot released thus far and here's a link to a low res version of the second domestic trailer currently playing with X-Men: The Last Stand: http://rapidshare.de/files/21489168/...turns.avi.html What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
There's no need for an ultra strong person to play Superman, Routh is strong but not a giant. All that is left is someone asking for Schwarzenegger to play Superman. This role isn't all about the physics, the person playing it should be not only Superman but Clark Kent as well. An ultra strogn person might look good as Superman but could feel weird as Clark Kent.
I belive Routh is good for the job, strong but not huge. FELIPE NO |
Just to throw a little more at the "look right for the part" debate, check this out. All the Superman's through the years.
Routh is the fucking spitting image of Reeve. and Dean Cain looks like a knob. Believe it or not! What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? GI Joe is the codename for America's highly trained special mission force. Its purpose: to defend human freedom against COBRA.

I said that as well when i picked up the latest Wizard Magazine!

Yahoo now has a hi res Quicktime version of the third trailer that's currently playing before X-Men: The Last Stand up:
http://mp3content01.bcst.yahoo.com/b...0/25379541.mov The official site also relaunched with a Flash intro that sounds like it features some of John Ottman's score but I'm not certain. The site has a ton of new content though: http://supermanreturns.warnerbros.com/ Speaking of Ottman's score, Soundtrack.net will have a "First Listen" feature up on Thursday for the Superman Returns soundtrack. Warner Bros. also announced today that they've pushed the release date up by 2 days from June 30th to Wednesday, June 28th. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Fuck you assholes |
It's said that the running time is 150 minutes.
http://www.superherohype.com/news/su...ws.php?id=4314 This is how long X3 should have been. How ya doing, buddy? |
...Speaking of which, Soundtrack.net's preview for the soundtrack is now up! http://www.soundtrack.net/features/article/?id=196 Servers are slow, to be expected, at the moment though so in the meantime you can read Soundtrack.net's positive review for the score here: http://www.soundtrack.net/soundtracks/database/?id=4335 Also the film isn't opening on June 28th but rather on Tuesday, June 27th at 10pm. :biggrin: How ya doing, buddy?

Just a heads up but both Fandango & MovieTickets.com now have tickets available for the 10pm June 27th first screenings of Superman Returns. I'm hoping to catch the 10:10pm showing in my area but I'm torn over to see it on the regular screen first and then IMAX the following weekend or vise versa...:eyebrow:
Here's a link to the 1 minute of "Exclusive" footage that aired on MTV during the 'Movie Awards' last night: LINK-Server is kind of slow YouTube Link TV Spot #6 also debuted last night too: SendSpace Link Press screenings for the film also happened last night and while some are on embargo until the film's release, a few are starting to pop online starting with Jeffrey Wells' thoughts on the film: http://hollywood-elsewhere.com/archi...w_superman.php
Here's one positive review from The Boston Herald: http://www.bostonherald.com/blogs/stephenSchaefer/

Wheres my Superman Returns score, internet?
FELIPE NO |
No luck from Darko then? John Ottman working on the score was the big question mark I had about the film given how much of John Williams work would be used or not and then some of the articles about Ottman using only the score from Solaris as a temp for what they shot every day and the rough cut. That said, I'm happy with what I heard on Soundtrack.net. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Solaris is a strange pick. X2 was tempt tracked with Empire Strikes Back and Wrath Of Kahn and look how that disc turned out. I have much faith in the man

Man even with me being used to the Smallville actors, this is going to be great. A little weird at times because of the former reason, but I can't wait regardless.

Few more reviews for your enjoyment with the first being the full review from Jeffrey Wells:

I want to discuss the music.
Did anyone else get goosebumps when the 'Leaving Home' motif exploded out of nowhere in the short preview on Soundtrack.net? That was awesome. That alone has nearly convinced me to purchase this score. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Oh shi....I'm giddy with excitement! I only hope I can get work off to go see the IMAX. What's that about only 20 minutes of footage being converted to IMAX format? Why not the whole movie?
I was speaking idiomatically. [ MOBIUS ] |
I'm really liking what I've heard so far from the score and I've currently got it preordered at Wal-Mart.com given they like break street dates and all. Speaking of the soundtrack though, here are some more clips to make LeHah angry: http://www.rhino.com/store/ProductDe...o?Number=77654 ...OR if you'd rather hear the full "Main Titles" while watching it be conducted then you download the following video: T.O.O F.U.C.K.I.N.G C.O.O.L

God that video was awesome. I heard that Williams was invited to attend the scoring session. Anyone know why he declined (I'm assuming schedule conflict)?
How ya doing, buddy? |
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
So what's your impression of the score? I'm hoping to snag a copy later tonight if all goes well, and if my source actually does have it. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I uploaded Track 2 - Memories for all you lowly people There's nowhere I can't reach. |
So now I've got "Main Titles" and "Memories", I've just got to find the rest of the album. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Fun:
