Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan talk about SUPERMAN

There are a couple of interviews floating around the internet in which director Zack Snyder gives a few more comments on his upcoming Superman reboot, and Christopher Nolan shares his thoughts on the casting of Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel.

In a interview with Sci Fi Now, Snyder had this to say about Superman and how he's approaching the character. 

You’ve got to keep in mind that they look at Superman as passé because that is the way he’s been approached in the movies. It’s not like the movies have done anything to fight that, so all I can say is that Chris [Nolan] and David [Goyer] address that in their story. I think the challenge is to make him relevant – figure out how we can make them care about him. That is the challenge.

Superman’s the king daddy; he’s the shit. If you can make him work, in the end there’s nobody else in the superhero world. For me, Watchmen was the exact opposite of Superman in that now that I’ve deconstructed the superhero world — I tore the curtain down — maybe I’m the right guy to put it back up. It’s like participating in the Olympics. I know that’s a weird metaphor, but, you know, there is definitely a historical aspect that is beyond you. The character is bigger than you and you have to keep that in mind. And the character will continue when you’re done. I feel pretty good about that now.

I actually like what Snyder had to say there. It seems like they really have a grasp on the story and character. As you know the story for the film came from the min of Christopher Nolan and David Goyer, Snyder has been brought on board to give the movie a great stylistic look, feel and polish. I think this is a great team to bring Superman back to the big screen, and I'm excited to see what they've come up with. 

In a seprate interview Nolan had this to say about the casting of Henry Cavill in the film.

Henry’s a terrific choice as Superman. Other than having the look, he gave an incredible performance in the test we did and I think he’s going to be something really extraordinary in the role.

So there ya have it folks! I'm really hoping this movie turns out to be good. I'm just excited that everyone involved with it is excited as well. This could end up being a great movie. What do you all think?
