Man of Steel is an upcoming American superhero film under the development of Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan, and David S. Goyer. Based on the DC Comics character Superman, the film will be a reboot of the Superman film series. Using Chicago and Vancouver as a backdrop, with production to be based in west suburban Plano, Illinois, the film entered principal photography in August 2011, for a planned theatrical release on June 14, 2013 by Warner Bros., which also includes IMAX venues.



Clark Kent is a journalist in his twenties who was adopted as a child by Martha and Jonathan Kent after he was transported to Earth from the dying planet Krypton. Raised with the values of his adoptive parents, he feels alienated because of his unique super abilities and struggles to find his place in life. When the world is attacked, he becomes the hero Superman to protect its people.

I was a little underwhelmed by the domestic and international trailers released for Man of Steel but I managed to snag a look at the SDCC extended trailer before Warner Bros. took them off Youtube and I must say that version is much more awe-inspiring. Now, to no one's surprise, the first teaser trailer has been recut with John Williams original score and Marlon Brando providing the voice over in lieu of Russell Crowe. If you're looking for an example of epic, this is it folks.You can see the domestic trailer below which has filler music from The Lord of the Rings and Kevin Costner providing the voice over.Unknown14 June 2013 (USA)UnknownHenry Cavill, Michael Shannon, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner,Russell Crowe, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Christopher Meloni, Richard Schiff, Harry LennixZack SnyderChristopher Nolan (story), David S.
