Man Of Steel

So, it's been a while since I've last posted and A LOT has happened over the past few months. So that's why I'm writing this entry now. Of course Henry Cavill is Superman/Clark Kent unlike Tom Welling! Anyway, Amy Adams has been cast as Lois Lane, ace reporter for the Daily Planet, a great metropolitan newspaper. As the man of steel's parents we have Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent and Diane Lane as Martha Kent. I honestly don't think they could have been cast any better. Russell Crowe will be playing the role of Jor-El and Julia Ormond will be playing the role of Lara; Superman's Kryptonian parents. Harry Lennix will be a US military general named Gen. Swanwick and Christopher Meloni from Law and Order: Special Victims Unit fame will be playing Colonel Hardy. Michael Shannon will be playing General Zod and Antje Traue will take on the role of Faora, Zod's right hand woman. And last but not least, as of right now anyway, Laurence Fishburne will be playing the editor in chief of the Daily Planet and Lois and Clark's boss...Perry White. Now, some people have a problem with a black man portraying a character that has been white for over 70 years. I don't have a problem with it myself. I love Laurence Fishburne's work and think he will make a excellent Perry White. The other cast members are just as equally amazing, such as Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Ma and Pa Kent. Also, the LOOOOONG awaited photo of Henry Cavill as Superman is here!!! On a side of bad news, we all have to wait almost 2 years for the movie to come out seeing as the release date was bumped from December 2012 to June 14th, 2013. But I'm sure the movie will be worth the wait! I hope to update regularly as filming is now underway!
