Producer Christopher Nolan , who also helped develop the story with screenwriter David Goyer , discuss whether Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill ’s Superman movie will comply the lead of his own consciously found and gritty Dark Knight trilogy :
“ Well , middling . But I would n’t desire people to think we ’re doing for Superman what we did for Batman . It ’s very much Zack ’s film and I suppose people are going to love what he ’s done . I retrieve it ’s really remarkable to take on that character . Superman is a completely different character than Batman . So you ca n’t in any way use the same templet . But David Goyer had this , I intend , brilliant room to make Superman relatable and relevant for his audience . Zack has build on that and I recollect it ’s incredible what he ’s place together . He ’s got a lot of finishing to do on that . Superman is the big comic book character of them all and he needs the biggest possible movie edition which is what Zack ’s doing . It ’s really something . ”

Here ’s Jor - El thespian Russell Crowe on why he took on the labor — I think he ’s endeavor to bring how Jor - El ’s sacrifice are the ultimate , heartbreaking illustration of a father ’s beloved for a boy he can never have a go at it , but man does this quote sound weird out of circumstance :
“ It afforded me a wonderful opportunity to put a specific matter in the minds of 14 year - honest-to-goodness boys . And that is that the gay thing you’re able to do , the most of import affair you’re able to ever do , is love . ”

While Christopher Nolan seems to be middling by all odds done direct superhero film , there ’s still the interrogation of whether he could help Warner Bros. develop their putative Justice League enfranchisement in much the same way he did with Man of Steel and in much the same way Joss Whedon is superintend the Marvel macrocosm and Mark Millar is oversee Fox ’s superhero films . Regarding the possibility , Nolan gave this kind of minus , kind of equivocal non - result :
“ Well , as I ’ve said , and I ’ll say definitively again , I am done with the Batman films , the trilogy is completed . It terminate in the fashion we had envisioned . Well , I ’m producing Superman now and I ’m enjoy metre off and charter a gaolbreak . ”
Patrick Stewart took some clock time out from his vital ongoing labor of just sort of generally being the awesomeness that is Patrick Stewart to discourse what ’s going on with the cristal - valet : First Class follow-up :
We are , you know , under contractual oath with twentieth Century Fox to say nothing about any prospective X - Men movie include the old squad . I use “ old ” advisedly . So it ’s a form of awkward position , because endearing Bryan Singer just blunder out it all out there . For me the big thrill is get laid that Bryan Singer is attached to this movie , because not only is he a glorious director , but also I adore him and hope that it might be true and that we do work together at some full stop in the future . But I ’m not being coy . I know nothing about this project . And I ’m hoping that might convert in the future tense .
Other than the fact that you ’re doing it ?
I do n’t sleep together that we ’re doing it . I have not signalize a declaration yet . I know there is a project in development , but we have no date . No elaborate casting . Thrilled to hear that my earnest champion and colleague Ian McKellen is on board , but I ’m sorry , you know , you necessitate to empathize , I ’m not being cunning . I do it nothing .

Director J.J. Abrams describes his experience shooting the Star Trek subsequence in IMAX :
It was awing . Part of it was dispute because of the technical aspects of it , the machinery of it . The television camera themselves are a minuscule unmanageable and a lilliputian tacky and unpredictable . But then you go to dailies and you watch on this massive screen these picture that you ’ve shoot having been filmed on a negative that ’s eight sentence large than what you commonly employ , and you could not believe how good it looks . So that ’s exciting ! But unlike [ Mission Impossible :] Ghost Protocol , a mickle of what we scud is integrate into special effects and visual core in a fashion that I can not wait for citizenry to see . I think it really is mind - blow , how it looks . The IMAX frame , I call up , is really the best way to see a movie .

Legendary Pictures clearly is feeling really good about Guillermo del Toro ’s blockbuster giant robots vs. giant monsters movie , as they have take original screenwriter Travis Beacham to set out working on a subsequence script . Of naturally , much with that Green Lantern 2 script , this subsequence labor could very quickly turn to nothing if the picture show is n’t the mega - hit that its $ 200 million budget ask . But hey , no ground to not be optimistic about this , really . [ Heat Vision ]
Director Peter Jackson offers this encapsulation of how The Hobbit differs from Lord of the Rings :
Tolkien ’s novel give way us that . It ’s devolve to in-between - earth with a firebrand newfangled report , and largely new principal characters – certainly apart from Gandalf , who does return . It is a unlike step . I mean , Tolkien wrote The Hobbit 20 years before The Lord of the Rings . It ’s the origin of a lot of the events that culminate in The Lord of the Rings . But it ’s much more of a baby ’s , whimsical fairy tale .
This movie has a whole syndicate of crazy , angry , temperamental dwarf warriors , but they ’re still far better behaved than the Feebles .
Right . [ Laughs . ] Yes they are , indeed ! The clowning was one of the joys of this movie . It allowed us to allow our hair down a little act . The Lord of the Rings was very apocalyptic , end - of - world weighed down , which was appropriate to the volume Tolkien wrote . But we desire this to be appropriate too . The Hobbit is almost written like as though a chapter would be the nice size for a parent to read to children at night before bottom . It ’s very episodic , by chapter . We wanted the film to reflect a little of that .
