Geoff Boucher has posted an update to his interview with Zack Snyder. First of all he writes that Kevin Costner is NOT confirmed even though a previous report had listed him as a cast member. This may just be a formality and the info was not scheduled to be released at the time of the interview but as it stands, Kevin Costner is still just rumored as Jonathan Kent. Snyder also speaks a little more about the character of Superman, and suggests that his version might go against our "preconceived ideas" of the character..
“Superman is the one constant in the universe. You know that if you do Superman right — or at least if you do him with respect — you know you end up with something great…. [but] in some ways [beyond] that is virgin territory. No one knows what that is. In some ways Superman is the most recognizable superhero on the planet but also the most unknown. Just what he can be? People have preconceived ideas about him but probably all of them are wrong.”
When asked if he could reveal anything about the costume we would see Henry Cavill wear Snyder said that we will most likely see it before the film shoots..
”I can’t say — although I appreciate the question. I’d love to talk about it. We’re going to have to show it before we shoot, probably a while before that because [otherwise] someone will be on the set and get a picture of it.”
Boucher then asked if the sheer scale of this project ever gets intimidating..
“It is epic. But you just start with page 1, shot 1 and the next thing you know, you’re in it. And then you can’t go back. It’s the journey of 1,000 steps, as they say.”
