December 20, 2013: Superman/Batman Producer Talks About Filming in Michigan

Superman/Batman "Man of Steel" Producer Wesley Coller spoke with MLive.com about the upcoming Superman/Batman movie, the casting of Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot, and taking the film shoot to Michigan.

    "As producers, we have to look at a broad spectrum of factors," said Coller. "The main thing ... is whether it satisfies Zack's creative needs. Does it have what we need in terms of settings? Does it budgetarily make sense? Does it make sense seasonally? When we got to doing that, scheduling-wise, there were a ton of variables to take into account. And as we checked more and more boxes on our list, and the answer was, again and again, Michigan, Michigan, Michigan, it just made sense. So we started pursuing that."

    "(My daughter's) favorite book is this little Wonder Woman flip book," said Coller. "It has the lasso, the invisible plane, the bracelets - every page has an image she's just in awe with. And something that's become a reality, being a dad with a new daughter, is that I have a special place in my heart for the idea of a strong, empowered female superhero being out there."

    And while fans are speculating that Wonder Woman may finally get her own movie down the road, Coller eschews looking ahead. "We're super excited to have her in the film, it will be a ton of fun, but at the same time, we've got to stay focused on the film we're working on now," he said.
