July 11, 2012: Zack Snyder Attends Art Center Q&A in LA

Snyder Q&A Zack Snyder returned to the Art Center College of Design in LA yesterday where he visited an overflowing Los Angeles Times Auditorium to participate in a Q&A session.

    On casting Man of Steel's Superman: We had about 500 guys initially. We did this massive auditioning madness. It got down to the usual suspects in a pretty quick order. Henry Cavill was actually the first one we physically tested on film. We actually tested him in the Christopher Reeve Superman suit. And that was a big deal. That's a hard suit to pull off. Trust me. If you're just standing there in that suit, it's dodgy. It felt like we just bought it at a costume shop. Plus, there's no mask. I've been around a few superhero costumes, and it's weird because when you're in the Superman costume it's just you from the neck up. And somebody just combed your hair. But Henry came out of the trailer when we were shooting a test and everybody thought Okay, that's Superman. He was awesome and did a great job.
