May 22, 2013: New York Times Examines "Man of Steel" Movie

International Poster In an article which includes interviews with director Zack Snyder, screenwriter David S. Goyer, producer Christopher Nolan, and Superman himself, Henry Cavill, the New York Times closely examines the ins and outs of the upcoming movie "Man of Steel". Here's an excerpt from the 3-page article...

    "Man of Steel" retains traditional elements, like Superman's tension between his natural Kryptonian father, Jor-El (Russell Crowe), and his adopted earth dad, Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), and his attraction to the perpetually imperiled Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams).

    The film also emphasizes the world of Krypton before its annihilation - a bleak, utilitarian planet with sophisticated if downright creepy technology - and the treachery of the Kryptonian villain Zod (Michael Shannon), who finds Kal-El on earth. The result is an unapologetic science-fiction spin on Superman, and while that may shatter audiences' expectations for pure, unalloyed realism in "Man of Steel," Mr. Snyder said this approach was built into the DNA of the character.

    "If you follow him back logically and try to understand him," he said, "you end up at a sci-fi solution."
