February 8, 2012: Michael Shannon Compares Snyder to Scorsese

Michael Shannon The Playlist at Indiewire.com has published an article about actor Michael Shannon, which includes comments he made to them in a recent interview regarding working with Henry Cavill and Zack Snyder on "Man of Steel".

    The "Bug" actor almost didn't make the "Mud" shoot, though, because of his strict commitments as General Zod in the new Superman flick "Man of Steel." Shannon admitted to having a blast on set, and talked highly of both Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill. "Henry is a fantastic Superman, he's got a little edge to him and he's smart, clever and I had fun working with him," Shannon stated, but his greatest compliments were for his director. "I think Zack is the master stylist, visually, I mean he's up there with Scorsese in my book in terms of visual composition, orchestration, etc." Certainly not a bad filmmaker to be compared to. He also confirmed that "the whole thing is edgy in a way like when Nolan took over the Batman franchise," something that was expected when originally announced but has been somewhat doubtful in some camps, no thanks to the tragic "Sucker Punch."
