CROWE MAY PLAY JOR-EL
Academy Award-winning actor Russell Crowe is in negotiations to play the role of Jor-El in “Man of Steel,” Variety is reporting.
Zack Snyder is directing the film for Warner Bros., which stars Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent. Jor-El, played by Marlon Brando in 1978′s “Superman,” is Superman’s father on the planet Krypton.
RYAN REYNOLDS DIDN’T GET TO WEAR SUPERHERO SUIT, EXACTLY
Green Lantern doesn’t have to worry about dry cleaning his superhero suit.
“In the mythology of the film, the suit is made of pure energy,” said Ryan Reynolds, who plays Green Lantern. “So there’s no actual suit, because that would burn. What I’m wearing is a motion-capture suit, with tracking marks and tracking dots and those sorts of things. It was a little bizarre. I sort of looked like a crash test dummy who lost his Volvo.”
The suit became especially difficult to wear as filming continued into August in New Orleans, he said.
But Reynolds said he was impressed when he first saw the suit in motion in test footage about six weeks into shooting.
“It was just incredible to see that thing in motion and moving around,” he said.
VALIANT COMICS PLANS COHERENT, INTERCONNECTED UNIVERSE
New Valiant Comics executive editor Warren Simons said some of the company’s “most beloved characters” will be key to the relaunch.
“There are a number of great characters worthy of the spotlight, including X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Harbinger, Archer & Armstrong, Eternal Warrior, Rai, Ninjak and Shadowman, to name a few,” he said.
He said the coherent Valiant Universe will be among the selling points for the new line.
“Jim Shooter, Barry Windsor-Smith, Bob Layton and all the talented writers and artists who first introduced the Valiant characters built a three-dimensional universe that readers could dive into headfirst,” he said. “They did this with a set of great ideas that we intend to honor and update. Chief among these is a coherent universe with strong interconnectivity and clear continuity.”
