The first trailers for Man Of Steel were certainly moody, but light on plot and action, but they’ve certainly made up for that with the latest promo, which suggests that the film will be as full of special effects and explosions as you’d expect. It’s a big blowout of a trailer, suggesting the film’s going to have a fairly serious tone, but offer a lot on the spectacle front.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures comes “Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill (“Immortals, TVs “The Tudors) in the role of Clark Kent/Superman, under the direction of Zack Snyder (“300, “Watchmen).
‘A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.
‘The film also stars four-time Oscar® nominee Amy Adams (“The Master) as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Oscar® nominee Laurence Fishburne (“Whats Love Got to Do with It) as her editor-in-chief, Perry White. Starring as Clark Kents adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Oscar® nominee Diane Lane (“Unfaithful) and Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner (“Dances with Wolves).
‘Squaring off against the superhero are two other surviving Kryptonians, the villainous General Zod, played by Oscar® nominee Michael Shannon (“Revolutionary Road), and Faora, Zods evil partner, played by Antje Traue (upcoming “The Seventh Son). Also from Supermans native Krypton are Lara Lor-Van, Supermans mother, played by Ayelet Zurer (“Angels and Demons), and Supermans father, Jor-El, portrayed by Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe (“Gladiator).’
