Talking to Digital Spy, Christopher Nolan, who is producing Man of Steel, was asked about the upcoming reboot and what he thinks of the film so far. Check it out:


"Well, I don't want say too much about it, because they are long way out. They are at the beginning of that (post-production) process, really, and it doesn't come out for another year. But, I think what Zack and Henry are doing with the character is going to make a pretty remarkable impression."

Starring Henry Cavill, Michael Shannon, Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Costner and Ayelet Zorer, Man of Steel is set to hit theatres on June 14, 2013.

ClaireLannister2016 - 8/6/2012, 7:35 AM
It better be epic! Dc needs to show they can make a good non-batman movie! Plus....Cavills too perfect for superman to waste on a bad film
villain001 - 8/6/2012, 7:37 AM
after the debacle of the dark knight rises, i dont know about this movie anymore
CoulsonLives - 8/6/2012, 7:43 AM
Umm, I want it to be a shared Universe or else I give up on you Marvel
FilmsFan - 8/6/2012, 7:45 AM
I LOVE SUPERMAN!
Really LOVED Teaser & ComicCon footage!!

I Trust NOLAN!
If he's saying it's gona be great; then it's gona be Great!
I think with Goyer & Nolan's Script/Story & Snyder's Direction : I'm gona get my ever waited SUPERMAN film!

I can't wait for this!
angus666 - 8/6/2012, 7:45 AM
Really do hope it's awesome. Superman deserves an amazing movie after the Reeves version. Returns was alright, but this needs to be amazing.
BlackFlash - 8/6/2012, 7:46 AM
It's not gonna be a shared Universe so you might as well give up and I think you mean DC.
WorldsGreatestdetective - 8/6/2012, 7:48 AM
Man of Steel is going to at least be interesting. It isn't going to have the potential to go wrong like Green Lantern because the people behind the the dark knight trilogy wrote this freaking film as DC/WB should continue to do. When you keep giving it to the people who wrote No ordinary family you can't expect anything good
BlackFlash - 8/6/2012, 7:49 AM
The moment DC get Green Lantern right and can do Wonder Women and the Flash then I'll be happy with DC but until then they can suck it.
InfiniteMonkey - 8/6/2012, 7:52 AM
Bastard better not be saving cats!
Super12 - 8/6/2012, 7:55 AM
I'm not saying its gonna be Dark Knight caliber, but I have complete faith in a Nolan-Goyer film, even if Nolans not behind the camera. It's going to be at very least VERY good. That's the minimum. The maximum? Totally frickin off the chain EPIC!
fettastic - 8/6/2012, 8:03 AM
I'm afraid I was also dissapointed by The Dark Knight Rises for all the same reasons people are talking about online. and no "You have to suspend disbelief" doesn't help because if that's what Nolan was going for, what's the problem with having Killer Croc of Clayface in the movies?

Because of this, I am skeptical of Man of Steel, but very hopeful. Henry Cavill is perfect for the role and I love how he will be the bulkiest Superman yet.

I have tons of faith in Zack Snyder because Watchmen is a fantastic film, and extremely loyal to the best of the source material. It frankly has a better ending than the comic, although I do wish Rorschack killed the child murderer like he does in the comic.
Deschain12 - 8/6/2012, 8:04 AM
This movie has a lot of potential. Snyder's good when he has help with the writing. And the cast is fantastic. Can't wait for Man of Steel.
TheDickRises - 8/6/2012, 8:08 AM
Yo Nolan I always trust you man
R888 - 8/6/2012, 8:18 AM
Man of steel is going to [frick]ing rule 2013 along with Iron man 3
BattlinMurdock - 8/6/2012, 8:18 AM
@Just1SuperGuy

I think you missed a lot in the Avengers.

Isn't it reasonable to make the kill switch if something goes wrong period? Like, if the machine were to explode instead to do what it was supposed to, a kill switch would deactivate it without destroying it.

Loki was a clown? People are still clinging to the fact that Loki, one primary antagonist of one of the six Avengers was beaten by...six Avengers? Yeah. Makes no sense.

Iron Man surviving a nuke? In space? After falling through a wormhole? Yeah. How would he survive? He didn't eject the Bat or anything.

Hulk not being able to control himself until he fell? Did you go get popcorn during the scene with him and the security guard?

People only started really ragging on TA after TASM and TDKR came out, because they felt they had to support their fanbase. No one had these "issues" except those with preconceived notions that the movie would fail. And when it didn't, critically and commercially, they couldn't swallow their own false pride.

The only bad comic book movie we've gotten this year is Ghost Rider. All other three movies had things they could have improved on, but I'm more than happy they were as good as they were.
MrReese - 8/6/2012, 8:24 AM
most anticipated movie 4 me of '13. Cavill will own as Supes.
dezdigi - 8/6/2012, 8:27 AM
Hey, anyone want to start a TDKR vs. Avengers argument?
It's so fun!
TheBlackPhantom994 - 8/6/2012, 8:27 AM
For those who say it's not a shared universe:

The lol's on you.
Minghagz - 8/6/2012, 8:27 AM
Can't wait for MOS. I wonder when the next trailer will be out?
R888 - 8/6/2012, 8:28 AM
Please don't bring up marvel vs dc crap here, I can't take it anymore, stop bashing the avengers and the dark knight rises, just like both like the rest of us normal fans.
dezdigi - 8/6/2012, 8:30 AM
@R888,
I like that, "us normal fans"!
AlSimmons - 8/6/2012, 8:32 AM
I'm really excited for MOS because he's the only mainstream character capable of complete ownage. The fight scenes in this movie are going to about as close to a (good) live action DBZ movie as we're going to get. I wonder if Kent will sun-dip... that would be intense.
villain001 - 8/6/2012, 8:33 AM
@SirWinsalot,

yes debacle, did you not see the ending of Dark Knight Rises? Since when does Batman rise to fake his death, puss out so he can retire overseas to sip on latte's with catwoman? Never. Horrible ending.
fettastic - 8/6/2012, 8:36 AM
@battlingmurdock, I loved The Avengers, but let's not pretend there aren't any goofy parts. The scene with the security guard does nothing (as is) to explain Hulk's sudden ability to control himself. AS we all know, there was a deleted scene that explains it, but we'll have to wait for the director's cut to see how it fits together. But it's a great movie, no question about it. And a BETTER movie going experience than TDKR, which I have several problems with. I have a short list of mild nitpicks with Avengers, mostly stemming from Whedon's insistance that every character in every project he does be snarky and sarcastic. I'm sorry but Thor saying "He's adopted", while funny, does not fit his character at all.

However I agree with at least 80% of the 99 list for TDKR. And I even have a few gripes not listed.
LFANCH - 8/6/2012, 8:38 AM
My only problem with TDKR was that is was a kiddy movie. SOV was so dark and mature and it makes TDKR look like a cartoon. The darker the movie is the better and ghost rider is the best we've gotten this year.
JayTopStix - 8/6/2012, 8:38 AM
I hope its is a lot Zach Snyder and NOTHING Nolan. I had enough Nolan for a decade already. I hope he stays as far away from CMB's as possible.
Spidey31 - 8/6/2012, 8:42 AM
Uh oh marvelites and nolanites are about to fight....And here we.......go.
GoILL - 8/6/2012, 8:48 AM
@MrEko LMAO at those gifs.
0ptimusCrime - 8/6/2012, 8:52 AM
Chris Nolan should back off with CBM's.
if it goes by his vision Superman cant fly by himself, but has booster rockets on his feet.
Guy makes good movies, but his "realistic" vision has got to go away from the CBM's
Jordanstine - 8/6/2012, 8:52 AM
Christopher Nolan doesn't seem that involved with the project.

Uses the words "THEY" rather than "WE" a lot.

Being the Producer guess that means Nolan's mostly just writing the checks :p
DCfan89 - 8/6/2012, 8:58 AM
ragingVenom -__- .... that type of realism was specifically for batman. .... -_-
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 8/6/2012, 8:58 AM
@Herald
It's about aliens, how realistic could it be.
inky - 8/6/2012, 8:59 AM
after his latest movie mr nolan realy should not bet trying to muscle in on superman snyder is well able to make a movie without nolan holding his hand.
snyders the watchmen was a far better movie than nolans latest imho.
MJPETTY7 - 8/6/2012, 9:03 AM
Nolan does have his foot in to deep with this film, and maybe that's a good thing! I don't say that as in I don't like him, because Christopher Nolan is one of the biggest names in film right now, I love The Dark Knight Trilogy and I love Inception.

That being said, Zack Snyder knows how to makes comic book/superhero films! We saw that with Watchmen (which brilliantly brought that graphic novel to the big screen and improved on some unlikable things from the book)and 300.

From watching the MOS Comic Con panel, I have complete faith in Snyder and Henry Cavill and the footage in both the teaser and the SDCC trailer is incredible!!! I think this could possibly be the best Superman film since Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut and Superman: The Movie (Extended Version), which in my opinion are equals!
0ptimusCrime - 8/6/2012, 9:04 AM
DCfan89, i understand, and i didnt like that.
it were GREAT movies, they Joker and Bane didnt look at al like the comicbook villains.
the perfomances were awesome, but they were not like the villains in the comics.

if it only was for the Batman trilogy i take my comment back.
batfan175 - 8/6/2012, 9:13 AM
@villain001: that ending could've been as much an imagination by Alfred as it could have been a nod to The dark Knight returns, in which Bruce wayne also gives up on batman at the end after faking his death. Did you pay any attention?
YOUNGBL00D - 8/6/2012, 9:16 AM
I don't think it was in Alfred's head because when he saw Bruce at the place he had Selina with him, an dalfred had no ideas that Bruce and Selina has anything together.
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 8/6/2012, 9:17 AM
@villain001
Guess you never read the dark knight returns...
gastitdk - 8/6/2012, 9:18 AM
In Nolan we trust
Juan1189 - 8/6/2012, 9:18 AM
The movie seems promising..I will have tickets for opening weekend for sure.
GiantNerd0720 - 8/6/2012, 9:26 AM
How bout that local sports team?
SkateandDestroy88 - 8/6/2012, 9:27 AM
Looking to be another aweome year for comic book movies.
This is definitely the CBM I've been waiting for.

I'm sure this film will deliver in all the right places.
This is gonna be so awesome !!!!!!!
MJPETTY7 - 8/6/2012, 9:27 AM
@thebatdad Have you seen any of The Dark Knight Trilogy? Or Inception? Or Momento? I could keep going...

Point is, with Nolan (and even Whedon) you either hate them or love them. I love both of them! I loved The Avengers and I loved The Dark Knight Rises. Point being, WHO THE HELL CARES WHO LIKES WHO!?!?!?! It's their live and opinion not yours, so go find one you troll!
dezdigi - 8/6/2012, 9:33 AM
Sooooo .... how about that new Superman movie?
NeoBaggins - 8/6/2012, 9:34 AM
I'm getting positive vibes from at least three CBMs' of next year. MAN of STEEL is at the top of the list.

Dear Snyder and Goyer; leave your D-Games at home. We need the inexplicable kickass A-Game shit.

Thanks.
ATrueHero1987 - 8/6/2012, 9:34 AM
I'm not going to lie, when of the things I like about CBM is the comments. Because they are....HILARIOUS!lol Seriously, half of y'all that do the trash talking, would you y'all say that face-to-face at a Comic-Con?lol
Anthrax - 8/6/2012, 9:42 AM
@battlin how did batman survive an atom bomb even he ejected must have been destroyed in the blast iron man howerever you know is iron man while batman is a man in a suit
marvel72 - 8/6/2012, 9:42 AM
man of steel should be good,once we start seeing some proper footage & not bootlegged phone footage.
BattlinMurdock - 8/6/2012, 9:44 AM
The filmmaking hierarchy:

Producer > Director > Writer.

Producers have the say of where the direction and writing goes. Nolan is very involved with MOS.
