New Superman Returns Pics!

[Droogie]

so far rumor has it that the cost to make the movies is over 350+ million, they still have editing to do AND marketing! We could be seeing the biggest flop ever in the making!

350+? That seems a tad high, considering King Kong is now considered the most expensive film ever made, and that just cleared 200 mil. Or were you joking?

Nope, it has been reported on from a number of sources (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/11/26/1132966005329.html), it may be inflated from the rumor mill but 300 to 350 is what is going around as it is over-buget! Boxofficemojo has its buget listed as 250 (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=superman06.htm)

For one thing, the time period seems VERY skewed. Check out the clothes that they're wearing in the third and fourth shots - it looks retro-1930's or 40's, to me. But then, check out Lois Lane's pictures in #1 and #6! It may or may not be taking place after Superman II, but I have a feeling they're going a LOT earlier than that.

I have to say he looks a LOT more convincing as Clark Kent than Chris Reeve did, though...

Maybe the time period could be deliberately ambiguous, like the Batman cartoons, where you have some contemporary elements along with some retro stylistic elements. It worked for the Dini Batman cartoons and The Incredibles.

I think Supes looks a little thin as well, but Spacey/Luthor looks very cool. And I like the posters. I saw one in the theatre a few weeks ago.

He does look like a right schmoe, don't he?

I was hoping for more evil science equipment in the Luthor pic. To me, a lot of it does have a vaugly retro feel, particularly the set dressing in the Luthor pic.

The trailer I saw was ok, but they didn't show much of the actor. He doesn't look like Superman to me. I don't like the costume. Every time I watch that trailer I think that it could be good, but a lot of that is the whole narration of Brando I think, then I see stills and it looks horrible.

I'll see it though.

Reserving judgement until the film.

Bah, Superman looks too samll as far as I'm concerned. I think Spacey looks great though.

I felt that a lot of this looked forced, but I think you caught more specifically, what was bothering me.

I wonder if this will be another Michael Keaton/Jack Nicholson incident, where the villain steals the movie.
