January 27, 2011: Superman Movie Rumor Round-Up

Superman Movie News Rumors persist on two fronts regarding the up-coming Superman movie.

The first centers around the movie filming in Canada. We heard previously (back in December) from Peter Leitch, chair of the Motion Picture Production Industry Association of BC, who revealed that Zack Snyder's "next feature's coming here", meaning Vancouver, Canada. Now the Calgary Herald reports that Alberta culture minister Lindsay Blackett has confirmed that "part of a $200-million Hollywood film will be shot in Alberta".

    An industry insider told the Herald that this likely means Superman: Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder's big-budget reboot, will have a unit shoot here. Another source confirmed that producers behind Man of Steel have been looking at Alberta, but said nothing has been confirmed.

    "I would expect there will be an announcement in the next 60 days about a significant picture, a blockbuster to be shot in Alberta," says Blackett.

The second rumor involves "True Blood" star Joe Manganiello, who we previously reported (back on December 6) told UK media he was a "huge fan" of directory Zack Snyder and would be "honored" if chosen to be the next Man of Steel. Now American media are getting in on the act, with Manganiello interviewed by Extra this week saying, "It's not up to me at this point. I love Zack Snyder, huge fan. I'd be honored if they chose [me] to do that. We'll see. It's out there in the ether."
