My name  is Luciana and I’m the new owner here at Mr Cavill. You can expect updates late this week.

April 03 Henry Cavill’s Body is Being ‘Fine-Tuned and Tweaked’

Zack Snyder’s Superman to-be (and Amy Adams’ next co-star) Henry Cavill has already gotten super-hot in order to play a Greek hero in Immortals, but now he has to get hot in a whole new way in order to play Superman. “Cavill spent months on Tarsem’s Immortals, maintaining six percent body fat, and, he jokes, competing with his co-stars to see ‘who had the best abs,'” Movieline reports, following an investigation. “I’m not quite in Immortals shape like I was, but I’ve got the base there again,” Cavill said. “When you see the Immortals shape you’ll see what I mean. We obviously haven’t had the final brief yet [on ‘Superman shape’], it’s going to adapt and change as [my trainer] sees my body adapting to the training. He’ll go, ‘Okay, Henry can do this,’ or, ‘His body will look better like that.’ It’ll be fine-tuned and tweaked as we go along. But I think it’s going to be a different sort of shape from Immortals.” In his defense, Snyder has said he wants an old-school, super-buff Superman, but, man, who knew getting hot in multiple ways could be so complicated?

April 03 Henry talks about his first time in the Superman suit

Motion Captured – One of the benefits of being at an event like WonderCon is that you sit down with people who are involved in some of the most-anticipated projects for genre fans, and you get to be among the first people to talk about those projects with them.

I’ll be moderating the panel for Tarsem Singh’s new film “Immortals” later today, and the star of that film is Henry Cavill, who, of course, has been cast to play the lead role in Zack Snyder’s upcoming “Superman.”

Cavill is a guy who has been on the cusp of superstardom for a while now. He was almost James Bond. He was almost Bryan Singer’s Superman. He even read for Batman at one point. And yet, in each of those moments, someone else ended up playing the part. Now, finally, on the strength of his work in “The Tudors” and the early buzz around his performance in “Immortals,” it feels like Henry is having that moment.

Sitting down with him today, most of the conversation had to do with “Immortals,” but we did take the time to talk about stepping into the suit of one of the most recognizable characters on Earth. My impression of Cavill after spending a few minutes chatting with him is that he’s a dynamic choice for the role.

We spoke a bit about Superman during our time together, and while we’ll have our full “Immortals” conversation for you later, we wanted to share the “Superman” stuff with you immediately, since there’s such intense curiosity about who he is and what he’s going to bring to the role.

Despite a cell phone mishap and me managing to scare the hell out of Cavill about his appearance on the panel in the afternoon, I think it was a good chat, and I find myself much more relaxed now about the choice that Snyder and Nolan made to hire Cavil.

I already knew that with today’s technology, we will believe a man can fly. What’s far more important is believing in him as a person, and I think in Cavill, Warner Bros. has finally found the man for the job.

April 03 Henry Cavill Calls ‘Superman’ Co-Star Amy Adams ‘Fantastic’

In his first on-camera interview since being cast as Superman in Zack Snyder’s reboot, the new Man of Steel, actor Henry Cavill, chatted about everything from his research for the part to what it will be like working with his Lois Lane, Amy Adams.

MTV News caught up with Cavill at WonderCon 2011, where he was promoting his upcoming film “Immortals,” in which he plays a Greek warrior. Turns out Cavill won’t be able to take much of a break after such a daunting role, as he’ll soon gear up to wear Superman’s iconic cape. Cavill said the training for “Superman” will be a “similar kind of thing” to that of “Immortals,” adding, “It’s going to be intense.”

Still, it’s not just the physical aspect Cavill will have to focus on: He’ll also have to slip into the psyche of the complex superhero for the tentatively titled “Superman: Man of Steel.” Cavil said he’s done “plenty of comic book research” in order to gather as much information as he can “as to who this man is.”

The star explained that by reading the “Superman” comics, he’ll pick up on the “key characteristics” in order to get “a general idea of what he is, and then working from there.”

Cavill also opened up about why it was important to stay true to the iconic character, even with Snyder’s new, modern twist. “Superman is Superman, after all. There’s only so much of a change you can make to that,” he said.

As he continues to map out how to play the role, he’s already got his leading lady, Amy Adams, lined up and ready to go.

It was confirmed a week ago that Adams, fresh off her Best Supporting Actress Oscar nod for “The Fighter,” would play Superman’s love interest, Lois Lane. Cavill, who revealed he’d met with Adams for a screen test, said he was “looking forward to working with” her, calling his newly announced co-star a “fantastic actress, very talented.”

He isn’t the only one who’s excited about having Adams tackle the iconic female role. Snyder called her “one of the most versatile and respected actresses in films today,” while Margot Kidder, the original Lois Lane, gushed, “She’s a brilliant, wonderful actress! She’s incredible. She’s an extraordinarily accomplished young lady — and gorgeous and full of energy and spirit. She’s so different from part to part, it’s going to be really interesting to see what she does with Lois.”

Cavill noted that the age difference between he and Adams (he’s 27, she’s 36) was nothing more than happenstance, saying that making the nine-year difference part of the story line would be for Snyder to decide. Cavill said of the age gap: “I don’t think it matters at all.”

Regarding those who argue Adams is too old to star opposite Cavill, Kidder said, “Who cares? What a bizarre thing to be concerned about. She certainly doesn’t look older than him.”

April 03 Gallery Updates

Starting with the updates here, I’ve added pictures of Henry at Wondercon, plus some pictures from “Sucker Punch” in London.

April 04 Gallery updates: HQ add-ons

I’ve updated the gallery a couple days ago with the events Henry attended this year so far. Today I have some great HQ’s added to this albums. Plus, added a missing portrait done back in 2009 at Tribeca, while Henry was promoting “Whatever Works”.



April 04 Tarsem’s ‘Immortals’ Unleashed at WonderCon with a Badass Trailer

“If there is one human who could lead them against Hyperion, it would be Theseus…”

After the presentation at WonderCon, “Immortals” it’s being considered the most antecipated movie from 2011.

A trailer has been saw and I cannot read anything but excitement about it.

It’s hard to describe all of the footage and I’m sure the trailer we saw will be out very soon, but it looked like a visually astounding and completely badass new take on Greek mythology. There were epic battles that, using CGI, looked to have the scope and scale of Return of the King’s Minas Tirith battle, with thousands upon thousands of troops lined up outside of a massive mountain fortress. Mickey Rourke, who plays the main villain King Hyperion (Cavill described him as a “scary dude”), looks insanely brutal and intimidating, wearing a helmet with sharp metal spikes that encircled his entire head. There were tons of stylized slow-mo fight scenes and Luke Evans playing Zeus swinging a whip made entirely of fire. It. Looks. AWESOME! [First Showing]

The trailer wasn’t leaked yet, and I hope they release it soon.

April 06 Additional photoshoots

I’m currently looking into my HD to see my Henry collection, and add what’s been missed in our gallery. There’s two more photoshoots done in 2009 now added.

I have A LOT of pictures to be added, so keep coming to see all the updates.

April 07 Henry Cavill And Luke Evans Talk ‘Immortals’

Relativity Media recently offered audiences their first glimpse at “Immortals,” a stylish, mythological adventure directed by filmmaker Tarsem (“The Fall,” “The Cell”). Before Tarsem and producer Mark Canton (“300”) screened a few minutes of footage from the coming movie, Speakeasy sat down with two of the film’s stars, Henry Cavill (who’s set to play Superman in Zack Snyder’s franchise reboot “Man of Steel”) and actor Luke Evans, for a conversation about the challenges of bringing new life to old myths.

How tough is it to connect with the grandiosity of stories about the gods, and make sure everything also feels immediate and relatable to contemporary audiences?

Luke Evans: I think as an actor you have to be able to relate to the role before you take the job, whether it be a god or whatever. You have to see something in your character that you can relate to. And I’m sure Henry did the same thing, but I look at the role Henry played, and I can relate to what he goes through; he has a struggle on his hands – he lost his mother, he finds his feet, he falls in love, all of these things, they’re human feelings. So I can relate to that, and what I had to do with Zeus is make people understand that this god wasn’t just a [guy throwing] lightning bolts, he had feelings and he cared about these people on earth, and that was my responsibility, to prove that in what I did on screen. continue reading

April 07 Tarsem Singh talks about Henry casting for “Immortals”

If you didn’t know who British actor Henry Cavill was six months ago, you do now thanks to the 27-year-old actor landing the coveted Man of Steel role in Zack Snyder‘s “upcoming Superman” reboot.

And while it seems like a no-brainer move now—Cavill has the looks, chops and build; he had tested for Christopher Nolan‘s “Batman Begins” and Bryan Singer’s “Superman Returns” and seemed poised to eventually score one of these plum roles—the actor’s name carried very little weight at the time and to hear the producers of the upcoming “Immortals” tell it, confidence in the actor leading their swords and sandals fantasy epic wasn’t exactly high.

“Henry tested for us and then we stayed with it,” Marc Canton, one of the producers of “Immortals,” said this past weekend at WonderCon of their lead acting choice. “There was a lot of debate about him, because we got pushed back many months in making the movie and eventually we went and we stayed the course [with Henry].” continue reading

April 10 Michael Shannon cast as “Zod” in Superman

It was just released that Michael Shannon (“Boardwalk Empire”) will play the villainous General Zod in what is now officially titled Man of Steel. As General Zod, Shannon will go toe-to-toe with Henry Cavill, who plays the new Clark Kent/Superman in the film. Along with Cavill, Shannon and Adams the film co-stars Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Martha and Jonathan Kent.

Man of Steel will shoot this summer for a December 2012 release.

April 13 Taking A Walk With Superman

MTV’s Josh Horowitz got to meet the “Man of Steel” himself, Henry Cavill, at WonderCon this year, and he definitely proved himself as the world’s next Superman. Though he says he might not be feeling the pressure just yet, we have a feeling that that will change soon enough.

April 13 Diane Lane Talks ‘Superman: Man of Steel’ Script

Venerable actress, Diane Lane is one of the few people cast in director Zack Snyder’s ‘Superman: Man of Steel.’ In the film, she’s to play Martha Kent, the adoptive mother of the titled hero, who’s played by Henry Cavill. Speaking with E! Online, Lane revealed that she has in fact read the script, and she even hints at the film’s structure. She said:

“I read the script under lock and key. I was locked in a room with the script and was only allowed three hours with it. I nailed it into my memory. I’m really excited. I’m really not allowed to talk much about it, I think, but it does cover the entire range of years, from infancy on.”

This definitely suggests that ‘Man of Steel’ is an origin story similar to Christopher Nolan’s ‘Batman Begins.’ With the popular television series, ‘Smallville’ — which focuses on the younger years of Clark Kent — coming to a close, it looks like Snyder’s film is going to take its place in terms of beginning the legend. How long ‘Man of Steel’ spends on the younger years of Clark obviously isn’t known. It could be a classic case of him being a baby during the opening scene and then it fast-forwards to him flying through the skies of Metropolis in his traditional garb a couple of scenes after. Either that or it could dwell on a certain time period, opening up the possibility for sequels.

In addition to Lane and Cavill, ‘Superman: Man of Steel’ features Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, and the newly announced Michael Shannon as villain, General Zod. The film currently has a tentative release date of December, 2012. [Source]

April 25 Watch ‘The Immortals’ Trailer Debut on E! News Tonight

So far, our looks at director Tarsem Singh’s 3D action epic Immortals have been five handsome posters and a handful of images featuring stars Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, Isabel Lucas, Freida Pinto, and Kellan Lutz, but that changes tonight – Monday, April 25th, as the official Immortals teaser trailer will debut at 7:00 pm EST/PST on E!

April 25 Photo of Henry as James Bond in 2005

That’s a very nice find of The Book Bond: a photo of Henry while auditioning for the role of James Bond in Casino Royale.

This is a 100% authentic photo of Henry Cavill in 2005 auditioning for the role of James Bond in Casino Royale. The scene he is reading here is the casino banter between Bond and Xenia Onatopp from GoldenEye. While Cavill was only 22 when he shot this test, he looks damn good, and when I see this I can’t help but think about Jeffery Deaver’s new, younger 007 in Carte Blanche.

Thanks so much, John!

May 02 Five Potential Spoilers for New Superman Flick

E! Online did a list with potential spoilers for next Superman with all informations we already have. Check it:

1. Krypton Will Be the Place to Be: Superman Homepage editor Steve Younis is intrigued by the commitment to General Zod (to be played by Michael Shannon) and the prospect of Faora, two aggrieved types who hail from our hero’s home planet. (The Hollywood Reporter says the villainess could actually be Ursa, Sarah Douglas’ baddie from the first two movies who was based on Faora, but no difference: Ursa is also from Krypton.) “It leads me to believe that we might see more focus on Superman’s Kryptonian heritage,” Younis said in an email. “Maybe even an attempt by Zod to make Earth a new Krypton, or at least an attempt to stamp his authority over the planet.”

2. Zod Will Kill, Literally: Yes, Terence Stamp was a chilling menace in Superman I and II, but did you see Shannon go off in Revolutionary Road? “Terrence Stamp—[his Zod] never actually killed anyone,” Superman Super Site editor Neil Cole told us. “I could actually see Michael Shannon’s Zod going to the point of completely annihilating people.”

3. Superman Will Be Pretty Much Screwed: Not only could Zod be more brutal, but Faora, Younis said, “has been a far more ruthless Kryptonian villain than Ursa.”

4. Lois Lane Will Not Kid Around: In Superman Returns, the then-23-year-old Kate Bosworth played the Daily Planet’s ace reporter as a young, single mom. Cole expects Man of Steel’s 36-year-old Amy Adams, unveiled as Lois last month, to bring “more seriousness to the role, kind of in the vein that Margot Kidder did [in the Christopher Reeve movies], one that’s more established in her career.”

5. Ma and Pa Kent Will Be Bigville:
“Diane Lane[‘s casting] and Kevin Costner’s casting tells me that the Kents involvement in this film will be important and pivotal to the main story,” Younis said.

According to US Weekly and Horse & Hound, Henry and showjumper Ellen Whitaker are engaged. Henry popped the question during a recent trip to Hollywood.

“I couldn’t believe it when he asked me to marry him. I thought we were there to celebrate his birthday. It was such a surprise and I am so happy.”

Henry asked Whitaker’s father, Stephen, for permission before getting down on bended knee.

Congratulations to the couple!

(For those who doesn’t believe in Gossip magazines, the news were also posted at Ellen official website.)

May 05 Summit Announces Release Date for ‘Cold Light of Day’

May 05 ‘Immortals’ trailer to debut with ‘Thor’ in theaters

May 19 “Become Immortal” contest to go to ComicCon

The official The Immortals Facebook is doing a contest that can send you to ComicCon!

May 21 A few more little gallery updates

Today I added screencaptures of a tv movie Henry did back in 2002, “Goodbye, Mr.Chips“. Is a very small role with only two scenes, but very emotional. Also a few interview screencaptures from “The Tudors” era. Little by little we’re going to get our gallery complete.


May 25 Will be Henry taking part at “Justice League” movie?

I was just reading an announcement at Screenrant.com about Jim Lee and Geoff Johns (DC Comics legendaries) taking part of Superman panel at Hero Complex Film Festival next month.
Both are describing it as “bombshell announcements about the future of Superman and the entire DC Universe”. Since it’s a film festival panel, it seems it must refer an announcement regarding Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel movie.

Won’t be intriguing if it wasn’t part of the statement the “entire DC Universe” mention. So, it could mean an announcement of “Justice League” movie. Back in March, the movie was confirmed and even there’s not a release date yet, the desired date is 2013. Men of Steel and Nolan’s The Dark Night Rise’s will be released in 2012, so the movies cannot be released in the same year.

Snyder told, after the “Justice League” announcement, that Henry will not be part of “Justice League” movie, since his “Men of Steel” will be it’s own separate thing apart the new superhero movies. Which I don’t get it, I mean, why they would do a Superman movie in 2012, and then reprise the role in a brand new movie with another actor in the next year?

Let’s just wait. Any news will be, of course, posted here.

May 28 Exclusive Footage of Immortals at MCM Expo this weekend

June 07 Henry Cavill and Amy Adams as Clark & Lois

MovieNewz have released a movie (manipulated) image of Amy Adams and Henry Cavill as Lois & Clark in the upcoming Superman reboot “Man Of Steel.” They are also reporting that director Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. are considering the city of Plano, Illinois to film the new Superman Man of Steel in August.

According to this newspaper, the city’s Mayor has not yet received final confirmation that Plano has been selected as the filming location but confirmed that he has been in secret talks with Warner Bros. for a few weeks. Possible shooting locations could include property near Fox River for a “bus-crashes-in-river scene,” Centennial Elementary School, built in the ’50s; and the city’s “older downtown.”

June 07 Richard Donner on “The Man of Steel” reboot

Today’s the release of “Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology (1978-2006)” and MTV has talk with the great Richard Donner, director of the first Superman movie. He anwered some question, including one about Henry cast as Superman.

MTV: What do you think of the upcoming reboot of the “Superman” franchise and the new lead, Henry Cavill?

DONNER: It’s going to be really tough on this guy, but he’s a wonderful actor and has a great director working with him. I think they’ll do a sensational job, because I truly believe their dedication to the product is honest. That film that they’re making, they believe in it, and that’s all you need: a good director, and to believe in your project. You can’t ask for more.

June 07 Wondercon interviews screencaptures

I was planning to add this ones with the streaming videos, but I had an issue with my video section, so it will come in separate updates. Added more than 1200 screencaptures of several interviews Henry did while promoting Immortals at Wondercon, back in April. The respective videos are coming soon!

June 08 Cain: Cavill will be ‘fantastic’

Dean Cain wishes British actor Henry Cavill all the best in his new role of Superman. The American actor starred as the superhero alongside Teri Hatcher in hit 90s TV show Lois And Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

“They (journalists) asked me because he’s a Brit you know, so they said ‘a Brit’s going to go play Superman and it’s a big deal. How did I feel about that?’ like it’s a big affront. I have no problem with that whatsoever because the reality is the character himself Superman was from another planet but he was raised in the middle of America with small town American values.

It’s a tough role. I think he’s going to do fantastically he’s a very good actor. You never know what you’re going to get into. It’s a big role, it’s an iconic role. I wish him luck.

June 25 “Man of Steel” cast updates

And the cast of “Man of Steel” is becoming more and more stellar. To follow the big-name players Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Amy Adams and Diane Lane, we have now Julia Ormond as Lara, the biological mother of Clark Kent and Christopher Meloni, most known for his role on NBC’s Law & Order: SVU. Deadline still doesnt’ has a word about what character Meloni will be playing, but I’m guessing Lex Luthor has just been cast.

June 28 Ellen talks about Henry

We don’t know much about Henry’s relationship with Ellen Whitaker, unless she gives some interviews and talks about it – he’s more private about it, which I really appreciate. She did an interview last week to London Evening Standard, and apparently, Henry was there while she was being interviewed. On this interview she talks a little about him.

When asked about the proposal, Whitaker says almost apologetically: “I’d rather not talk about it. But it feels good and I’m very happy.” That much is clear as Whitaker, sitting with Cavill at her side for the duration of our interview, talks about her life with the Jersey-born actor, who first came to prominence in the Tudors television series.

Appropriately enough, the pair met in the horse world, at Olympia two years ago when he was watching her compete. “It’s a long story,” she recalls. “But we just got chatting and he bought me a drink and that was it.”

The big day is planned for next year although, with his filming schedule and her bid to qualify for London 2012, they may yet have their work cut out getting it in the diaries.

Cavill, though, has clearly already become part of the famous Whitaker family, which has been a dominant force in equestrian circles for decades.

“Everyone loves Henry,” is the latest of the Whitaker riding dynasty’s take on her actor fiance. “He’s just a really lovely guy. My family all warmed to him very quickly and I know they’re very proud of him and what he’s doing. There’s a few jokes about Superman at the dinner table but that’s only joking, really.

July 04 ‘Immortals’ Set Visit: Theseus

Here’s a Coming Soon interview with the whole cast of “Immortals”:

Henry Cavill – Theseus

Q: How exciting and terrifying is it to be in such a big production?
Henry Cavill: Very exciting. More exciting than it is terrifying, really. I felt the pressure at one point. I had to be in a certain kind of shape, it was getting close to punch day, and I only had so long left to recondition the body. I suppose that I was a bit stressed over that. That’s been the most difficult thing, just maintaining that throughout. But otherwise, extraordinarily exciting, especially working with a director like Tarsem, who has boundless energy.

July 16 “The Tudors” Season 02 – DVD Screen Captures

Our gallery was missing a few screen captures into season 02 of The Tudors, and I went ahead today and capped it.


July 17 “The Tudors” Series Finale Screen Captures

The last episode we was missing are now added to the gallery. The (sad) series finale of “The Tudors” are added with 305 pretty captures.
Please note that this ones added are logo free because it was capped from my DVD. The ones already added has the Showtime logo on it, but I’m not planning recap it because the quality are really great.

July 17 “What if” Recast of True Blood

During months Henry was fan picked to be “Alcide”, the delicious werewolf of HBO show “True Blood” (now played by Joe Manganiello). Today, TV.com did a funny article casting Henry for the Bill Compton part.

What do you think?

July 18 “Man of Steel” script being rewrited

According to Movie Hole, Warner Brothers and Snyder needed someone to do some rewriting and the original script writer was kind of busy with his new project, “Godzilla”. So, Kurt Johnstad is working on the script…

Now that Goyer’s is off The Man of Steel and on to Godzilla, Snyder got Kurt Johnstad (whose his regular, go-to writer, including 300, that Last Photograph project that Bale’s attached to now originating from Snyder’s noggin and that 300 spin-off) to take over for rewrites. Jonah Nolan took a pass on it too.

What isn’t clear is what is being rewrite. I hope a bit more of action.

July 20 Men’s Health “Best Summer Bodies”

Henry Cavill is listed on #02 of Men’s Heath “Best Summer Bodies”:

Actor Henry Cavill is never one to deny a challenge. After wowing audiences as the Duke of Suffolk in the hit Showtime drama The Tudors, Cavill switched gears (and slimmed down to an impressive 6 percent body fat) to play the mythic Greek warrior Theseus in the upcoming USA epic Immortals. It’s just the type of role he relishes. “I’m from a family of six men, so I’m bound to be physical,” says Cavill, who recently returned to the gym to prepare for the titular role in next year’s Superman: Man of Steel.

To achieve the traditionally buff look of the caped superhero, Cavill turned to Mark Dwight, the same trainer who helped Gerard Butler sculpt the muscular build of a Spartan king for 300. His first priority: Packing on lean mass and building a strong foundation. Check out The 300 Workout to start building your own big screen physique.

July 20 “Man of Steel” Filming Locations in West Chicago

We just received a quick update to the filming schedule for Man of Steel and it appears they will begin filming in Illinois a few days earlier than expected.

According to one of our tipsters, Andy, Superman, aka Autumn Frost, is scheduled to begin filming in the town of West Chicago, IL on July 26-27.

The shoot is expected to take place at the Industrial Park next to the Dupage County Airport in West Chicago.

There is no word yet about what exactly they will be filming, but we do know the shoot was approved in a town meeting a couple weeks ago for those two days only.

Relativity has released a ton of new images from the films that will appear at Comic-Con 2011. For this reason, we have two new “Immortals” stills featuring Henry. check it:

July 21 Man of Steel Moved to Summer 2013

In a major unexpected news, Warner Bros. Pictures announced that Zack Snyder’s Superman movie Man of Steel will be released in theaters on June 14, 2013 and not in December of 2012 as was previously believed.

No other films have been scheduled for that date yet.

Thanks @ManofSteel2012 for the heads up.

Edit – Added more information about it:

Just a few moments ago, news hit the internet the release date for Zach Snyder’s Man of Steel has been changed from December, 2012 to June 14, 2013, causing fans to take to their Twitter and Facebook accounts in what became a near frenzy seeking confirmations and more information.

Dave McNary with Variety.com repots Warner Bros Pictures announced this change today. Upon immediately hearing this, a rep for the film was contacted who states “a release date has not been announced.” What to make of this? As an official release has not been found from Warner Bros Pictures on this date change, people may be left to assume Variety holds the trump card for all things Man of Steel related. It could also be the movie’s rep is not going to confirm this until an official announcement is released by Warner Bros. (Source)

July 23 Comic-Con: Immortals Panel Highlights

The Immortals panel was fast, but a huge success. I was like crazy looking into any feed I could to see people’s impressions. Well, Henry, you did it. People is crazy about him, and SO looking forward about him now as Superman.
And his shape is something incredible. He’s working hard to get the exact shape wanted for the part, and his looking great. And I mean, GREAT. You’ll see when pictures start to pop, if you didn’t noticed in the video previously posted.

Here’s some highlights on the panel:

Henry Cavill on voice in character: “You don’t want to make it sound stuffy, but at the same time stay loyal to the age of a character like Theseus. Try not to be too English about it and not too American either.”
Henry Cavill on being a fan of mythology: “Yes, been a fan of mythology since I was a little boy.”
Freida Pinto on her sex scene with Henry: “How can it be embarrassing, you’re with Henry.”
Frida Pinto’s favorite part about filming Immortals:” Watching the fine men! Also, that the women remain covered while then men don’t.”
Henry Cavill on Man of Steel: “It’s one of the best scripts I’ve ever read. I’m excited by it, humbled by the whole experience and can’t wait to get started.”

It was also showed two new footages, in 3D. More about the panel will be posted here, also pics and interviews. Stay with us!

Edit: My friend Nina sent over some Twitter pictures from the panel she’s been collecting. There’s no signal, infortunately, of who took it. If you did it, please, send me an email, comment, smoke signal, to be credited under each photo, ok? Same if you want it to be taken down (which I hope not).

Also talking about that, a mention or link back when find pictures here at our site is really appreciated. I enjoy sharing things with fans, but also enjoy when you told your followers/visitors where did you get it first, specially concerning videos/captures/scans. Thanks!

July 23 ‘Immortals’ Is ‘More Hardcore’ Than The Trailers Suggest

Right at the start of Relativity’s Hall H panel for their swords and sandal, Gods and Titans epic film Immortals, director Tarsem Singh was quick to say that the trailers that have been released for the film are for everyone. The film itself, he said, was darker and “more hardcore” than those trailers suggested. To bolster his point, he showed an extended sort of red band trailer and then a pivotal action scene that takes place late in the movie. Oh, and he also paraded out stars Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz and Frieda Pinto. Read about the footage and find out if Tarsem is telling the truth after the jump. continue reading

July 23 Man of Steel: Henry Cavill reacts to production delay

Plenty of fans were surprised when news broke that the release date for Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, “Man of Steel,” was pushed back six months to June 14, 2013 — but none more so than the would-be superhero himself, Henry Cavill.

“They broke it to me gently,” he told MTV News on Saturday (July 23) at San Diego Comic-Con. “I was just told the other day. It’s OK, it’s nothing to do with me. That’s stuff which I have no control over. I just focus on the character and do my job.”

Speaking of stepping into the shoes of the iconic superhero — or tights, rather — Cavill said he’s “prepared enough” but anxious to start production. “I’m really raring to go,” he said. “It’s exciting, humbling, and about time to get started.”

July 24 Collider Interview

With visionary director Tarsem Singh at the helm, Immortals is certain to be a film that is much talked about, when it hits theaters in November. An epic tale of treachery, vengeance and destiny among the Greek Gods, it promises to be a stylish and spectacular 3D adventure that is as unique as the filmmaker himself. In it, actor Henry Cavill plays Theseus, a stonemason who vows to avenge the death of his mother and who is called upon to embrace his destiny in a final battle for the future of humanity.

After their Hall H panel presentation at Comic-Con, Henry Cavill and Tarsem Singh talked about the appeal of a project like this, what changed to make an almost non-existent script something that could be brought to life for the screen, what the overall tone will be, and why 3D worked for this. Cavill also talked about how he’s already put on 25 pounds in training for playing Superman in Man of Steel, how it’s both humbling and an honor to take on a role that he hopes he can do justice with, and how he’s chosen not to focus on the celebrity aspect of all the attention he’s now receiving. Check out what they had to say after the jump:

July 24 Henry Cavill and Tarsem Singh Talk ‘Immortals’ at Comic-Con

Sure, he was there to promote “Immortals” but Henry Cavill is the next Superman, and Comic-Con audiences are — to put it mildly — fans of Superman.

So when Cavill stepped onto the stage for a panel with his “Immortals” co-stars, producers and director on Saturday, the audience was hoping for a morsel of “Man of Steel” — as well as some “Immortals”

“Immortals” about the Greek warrior Theseus and the evil King Hyperion, drew massive interest at Comic-Con. In addition to Cavill, it has Frieda Pinto, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz and Mickey Rourke, and it’s directed by Tarsem Singh. continue reading

July 24 Henry Cavill Calls Filming Superman Reboot ‘Fantastic’

British actor Henry Cavill is already at work on the new Superman reboot, “Man of Steel,” but he took a quick break on Saturday at Comic-Con in San Diego, showing off a new look as he promoted his upcoming Greek gods and heroes drama, “Immortals.”

“Your hair’s a little darker,” Access Hollywood pointed out, noticing his Clark Kent-looking black-haired sheen, when Henry hit the “Immortals” press line.

“It is, yeah. Can’t imagine why,” the actor said with a sly smile.

While he was under orders to keep “Superman” related news to a minimum, Henry said working on the 2013-due project, directed by Zack Snyder, has been a dream come true.

“It’s fantastic. That’s all I can…” Henry trailed off. “It’s one of the best scripts I’ve ever read.”

Henry confirmed filming has begun in Chicago.

“It’s going really well,” he noted.

July 26 Superman filming in West Chicago today!

According to lovely folks from Comic Book Movie:

“Autumn Frost” aka Zack Snyder’s Superman will be doing some filming around Dupage Airport!
I was driving by this weekend & noticed a few production trucks by the local grocery store. I was curious & decided to browse around West Chicago Site for clues to what movie would be filmed here in town. As I read thru the city counsil meetings I noticed “Autumn Frost” was brought up!

I will drive by the airport the next couple of days & look for clues to what they may be filming. I will keep you guys posted!!!

July 26 Cavill’s road to ‘Superman’ role

Stardom, as Henry Cavill knows, rarely happens in a single bound. Even when you’re the new Superman.

So while most people may not have heard of the 27-year-old British actor before he landed the lead in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, he’s hardly come out of nowhere.

In fact, he’s spent the past several years nearly getting — but ultimately been rejected for — such roles as James Bond (which Daniel Craig got), Batman (which went to Christian Bale) and, ironically enough, Superman (for 2006’s Superman Returns).

“You always feel a frustration when you don’t get a job, especially when you have no money, which was often the case in my career,” he says. “You try your best, everyone likes what you did, but you don’t get cast. It’s a very frustrating process to go through … I paid my dues, I’ve been through my baptism and I’ve been fortunate enough to be provided with the opportunities — and to be at the right time in my life — to play roles like this.”

Which explains why, when asked if he’s daunted by the prospect of stepping into the big red boots, he sounds anything but.

“(It’s) not scary. It’s fantastic — enjoyable. It’s an opportunity. It’s a chance to show what I’ve got, to enhance what I’ve got and entertain everyone and tell a good story.”

July 27 Henry Cavill: Focused On Superman, Not Superstardom

To borrow a phrase from a certain wall-crawling rival, Henry Cavill understands that with great power comes great responsibility.

The British actor, who is prepping to put on the most iconic cape in comic book history for director Zack Snyder’s “Superman” reboot, knows that the role is more than just a big career boost.

Since accepting the role of the world’s most famous superhero, Cavill has largely remained coy about any specific details surrounding Snyder’s take on the character – but he did tell PopcornBiz that he was committed more to the role of Kal-El/Clark Kent than to the fame that inevitably comes with it.

“I’m treating it like I would treat anything,” says Cavill. “I love reading historical fiction and fantasy books, and if I got chosen to play those roles, I have such a connection with those characters that I have an in-depth knowledge of how they would be made into a real person. The opportunity is the same with Superman. It’s absolutely fantastic because I’ve done all my reading and I’m really into the character.”

August 03 Henry covers Total Film

Henry Cavill talks Man Of Steel and James Bond
Exclusive: “I’m very proud to be British and playing an iconic American superhero”

Total Film has spoken exclusively to Henry Cavill about his role as Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel.

The in-demand Brit was keen to talk up the super-diet he’s consuming in his efforts to get the body of Krypton’s favourite son:

“I’m on 5000 calories a day… You’ve got to eat protein first, then a little bit of carbs…you’ve gotta keep your hunger levels going. I’m training two and a half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.”

Well, you’ve gotta be pretty buff before you can don an iconic superhero suit, right? On wearing his new threads, Cavill told us: “It’s extremely cool. There’s no other feeling like it.

“They just put it on, I turned around and look in the mirror and you can’t really play it cool – you sort of guffaw and laugh. I thought ‘OK, holy hell, this is real, it’s not a joke anymore. This is it…you’re doing it, you’re right in the middle of it.’”

While he couldn’t divulge any plot details (“not if I want to keep my job anyway!”), he confirmed that he’s focusing on “being as true as I can be to the original character and who the character is.”

Cavill also admitted that he’s chuffed to be another UK actor portraying an American superhero: “I’m very proud to be British and playing an iconic American superhero…it means I’m doing something right somewhere.”

He came close to landing the role of James Bond before Daniel Craig was cast; would he like another chance to slip into 007’s tux?

“That would be absolutely amazing. If they approached me on that I’d leap at the opportunity to do it. But that’s of course well away for the time being…”

Man Of Steel is set to open in Summer 2012.

Scans to be uploaded soon.

August 04 First Look At Henry Cavill As Superman

Do you want to see the suit? So, it’s here:

It won’t hit screens until 2013, but here’s your first sneak peek at Henry Cavill as the Man Of Steel, in Zack Snyder’s new take on Superman. It’s immediately apparent that the primary colours of the costume have been slightly toned down, and that this is one Kryptonian not afraid of getting his hands dirty. But some things don’t change; he’s clearly still capable of crumpling a bank vault up like a normal man crumples unwanted sheets of paper.

August 05 “Laguna” Screen Captures

August 11 Total Film’s 30 Hottest Rising Actors Right Now

26 – Henry Cavill

Who? Henry Cavill will be flying into the mainstream as Superman in Zack Snyder’s reboot Man Of Steel.

Why So Hot? He could hardly be hotter. As a Warner Brothers exec said, “He’s got an amazing quality. He has a very modern feel to him, we’re really going to try and make Superman as contemporary as possible”.

What’s Next? Cavill will star in Immortals, as the Greek warrior Theseus battling against the imprisoned Titans. There’s been plenty of buzz around director Tarsem Singh’s take on the story – also starring Mickey Rourke, John Hurt and Frieda Pinto – and it will be a high-profile test of Cavill’s much star power.

August 17 Man of Steel & The Pastor

One of the great things about a movie that films on location is that the residents simply never know when they and Hollywood will come together. Such was the case with Pastor Scott Hodge at the Orchard Community campus, who encountered Superman himself as Man of Steel was shooting.

I love those random, off-the-wall experiences that show up in our lives from time to time. Last week was one of these moments for us at The Orchard Community.

Here’s the story…

A few months ago, a location scout for Warner Brothers came by The Orchard to scope out our campus and explore the possibility of making it a short-term “base camp” for the cast and crew of the new Superman movie, “Man of Steel” that’s being filmed throughout the area this summer.

This would essentially mean renting our entire campus (building and parking lot) for about three full days where it would be used for the storage of the cast’s trailers, trucks, holding spaces for extras, rooms for the makeup and wardrobe departments, and space for the caterers to serve breakfast and lunch each day to a couple hundred cast and crew.

So after lots of consideration, conversation, contract reviews, etc…we gave them a thumb’s up….AND THEN worked really hard at keeping it all a secret (which wasn’t easy by the way!) until it was all said and done.

Well as many of you now know, last week was the week, and what a week it was! From Monday – Wednesday, our campus was flipped upside down by a couple hundred cast and crew working on the film that is slated to be released in June of 2013. And I gotta say, it was a ton of fun and a real pleasure to host what was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was kind of surreal too, seeing celebrities walking past my office window and down the hallways of The Orchard. WHO, SCOTT, WHO??! Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Zack Snyder (Director), and Superman himself – Henry Cavill. (Sorry ladies, no Russell Crowe sightings…)

Fun times…great memories…and some fun stories to tell.

August 19 “Superman” plot official revealed

Warner Brothers is holding open casting calls in Nanaimo and Ucluelet on Vancouver Island for Zack Snyder‘s Superman film Man of Steel. Included on the extras casting notice is our first official look at the plot synopsis for the film.

‘In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.’

This pretty much confirms what we’ve heard from the begining: the story will follow Clark Kent in his personal journey to decide to become the Man of Steel.

August 20 First look of Superman on set

Filming in the Kent farmer are on full power, and today the Superman was spotted in full costume for a scene. Pictures was taken by Gregory Zonsius and published by Superman: Man of Steel facebook page.

We can’t see the actor’s face, since a black cloth was in front of his face the whole time, but Gregory thinks it’s Henry, since there’s a mic toward him. But you can take a briefly vision of the costume.

August 26 Immortals & Man of Steel: Empire magazine scans

I told you yesterday, on Twitter (btw, if you’re not following our Twitter account, do it now!) that Immortals are featured on October issue of Empire magazine. Well, that’s what the cover was telling us. It actually is featured, but it’s a small note on some upcoming movies. But to make the issue worth, they also have a two-page spread on Superman. Now that things are better, you can check scans up already in our gallery, thanks to my friend @RobJacko who take his time to scan it for us.

September 02 Immortals: a must-see of the Autumn Hollywood season.

In just two feature films – following a slew of music videos such as “Losing My Religion” – Tarsem Singh has proven himself as one of a handful of true visionary directors working in the system today. He comes at the material as an artist, not as a commercial work-for-hire, and even on what should be a simple police procedural, 2000’s The Cell, he infused a vision of a startling, richly drawn and emotionally harrowing inner-world of a criminal mind. Now, as his follow-up to the underrated The Fall, he goes back to Hollywood with a for-hire project, Immortals, and takes what could be another hack film about Mythological Green Gods and figures, i.e. Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, Hyperon, etc, and makes something truly bold. It’s an original story with all of these characters, concerning possession of a sacred and magical bow that could destroy all of Greece (nay, the world), and how the humans interact with Gods and what happens when one of them (Theseus, played by soon-to-be Superman Henry Cavill) makes that ascenscion from mortal to the status of the title. continue reading

October 14 Henry covers ‘Men’s Health’

Henry is cover of November issue of Men’s Health, in which he talks about the training done by Immortals.

Soon after wrapping Immortals, Cavill began prepping for his role as the next Superman. To become a little more super, he turned to Mark Twight, owner of Gym Jones in Salt Lake City—the same fitness expert who transformed the cast of 300 into an army of men with washboard abs. Twight uses a punishing training routine called the “tailpipe”: a 100-rep workout that’ll smoke calories, torch fat, and leave you exhausted (ha!). The tailpipe has two “sides,” exercise and recovery, explains Dan John, Twight’s colleague and fellow strength coach. “The exercise portion is designed to get you gassed,” he says. “but the recovery is just as important.”

Twight’s tailpipe recovery method: the moment you finish an exercise, calmly take eight controlled breaths in and out of your nose. “Fight the urge to gasp, throw yourself around, or change songs on your ipod,” says john. Then immediately start the next exercise. (Another thing you should avoid: The Worst Chicken Dishes in America.)

Bonus: The tailpipe can also improve your sports performance, John says, because it helps manage “the stress of extreme fatigue.” After your final tailpipe recovery, attempt a fundamental sport skill. For example, take three free throws, using three basketballs that you’ve placed nearby ahead of time. “Become better at dealing with this stress, and you might suddenly find yourself becoming a clutch player.” [Read More…]

October 14 Henry On Set at British Columbia for ‘Man of Steel’

A whole slew of photos have hit the web showing Henry wandering around shirtless on the set that is supposed to be an Alaskan fishing village. Pictures was first shown at Craven Online:

Got a sweet treat in the mail just now. CraveOnline reader Lorraine Louie was on the set of Man of Steel in British Columbia and just snagged these sweet pecs… er, “pics,” of Henry Cavill bearded and shirtless. (Lorraine Louie? L.L.? Curious…) There’s not much information about the actual movie to be gleaned from this, apart from the fact that eventually Superman’s going to need a shave. (How’s he going to do that, exactly? Does Gillette offer kryptonite refill packs?) Oh, and a change of pants… which apparently he already has.

Lorraine also pointed out that this particular Superman has a nice set of chest pubes. That’s a big change from the main you brought you the rippling, waxed muscles of 300, isn’t it? Nice Mediterranean look you got going there, Kal-El. Does Krypton have a Mediterranean?

Now everyone who told his costume was padded, show yourself! 😀

October 26 New ‘Immortals’ clip

We’ve been bombarded with new Immortals goodies. Not complaining, it’s good to keep us busy until we’re desperate for next 11.11.11 coming.

A new clip has surfaced for the upcoming Immortals in which Theseus comes face to face with King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke). As you’d expect, it’s not an especially pleasant encounter. Check it:

October 28 “Man of Steel” On Set

And yet more pictures of Henry on set for Man of Steel, yesterday, was surfaced. I added 44 HQ pictures of him looking delicious while filming a scene involving a huge smokey fire pit on the set. Also there’s some different pictures from the green set (which was pointed done yesterday, also) and another ones that I can’t figure what he’s doing. 😛 Enjoy!

October 31 ‘Man Of Steel’ Star Henry Cavill Grateful For ‘Support’

For the “Superman” fans out there, it’s safe to say that by now, you’ve probably seen and overanalyzed “Man of Steel” star Henry Cavill looking all ripped and rugged in the leaked photos from the film’s set.
For the most part — nitpicky casting and director complaints notwithstanding — the collective judgment that has come down via various fan sites was: “Cavill looks awesome.” And no one was more relieved to hear and see those reactions than the hard-working actor in question.

When MTV News caught up with Cavill recently as he promoted his upcoming sword-and-sandals flick “Immortals,” we asked for his thoughts about the constant attention paid to him and the production, as well as his reaction to the leaked photos.

“I think the best part has been recently when people have sort of seen all the work that has gone into it,” Cavill said, speaking to his physical transformation. “I think I won a lot of people over, and I felt the support really come behind me, which is a really good feeling, because when you’re doing this all for [the fans], telling a story for them … you want to do it justice,” he said, adding that on the particular day when the shirtless photos were snapped, he was fighting very chilly temperatures and 80 mph winds from a helicopter hovering above him.
“It’s wonderful to have all the people online going, ‘This is great, this is amazing, I can’t wait, thank goodness it’s him.’ It’s wonderful, so thank you to everyone out there,” he said, speaking to camera. “I do appreciate it.”

You’re welcome, Henry.

October 31 Henry Talks about Men of Steel costume

As you can see, today the press work for Immortals has officially began. Luke posted on his twitter that they broke the mark of 80 interviews. In one day.

Check one bit here:

The first time I had it all on with the cape, I deliberately didn’t look in the mirror as it was going on because I wanted to have that sorta turnaround moment. Probably one of the best moments of my life to turn around and realize [small pause] that I’m Superman.

October 31 Henry Cavill Talks Getting Ripped For ‘Immortals’ & ‘Man Of Steel’

Some actors might get a little help from the costume department when portraying a hero on the big screen, but British actor Henry Cavill, star of “Immortals” and the upcoming Zack Snyder-directed “Man of Steel,” pushed his body to the max to get a hero-worthy physique.

“We did a lot of training. I was training for six months. I started before I finished ‘The Tudors,’” Henry told Access Hollywood at the junket for his latest movie “Immortals.”

“I was up at four in the morning, doing a couple of hours there and then a day’s work. But as soon as I got off ‘The Tudors,’ then we could do the full training. It went up to about eight hours a day by the time it was February,” he continued.

The 28-year-old actor said he endured “hundreds of bruises and cuts” while shooting the adventure film set in the world of Greek gods. continue reading

October 31 Henry Cavill tells us why you don’t need to be American to play Superman

Man of Steel star Henry Cavill refused to reveal any Superman secrets at the press day for his Greek gods epic Immortals. But the British actor did eloquently explain why his nationality doesn’t stop him from playing an all-American superhero.

Cavill was mainly there to talk about his upcoming turn as the Greek hero Theseus – and we’ll have more on Immortals in a little bit – but he did address one or two Superman-related issues. Most importantly, Cavill was asked whether a Brit can really play a character who is so resolutely American. Cavill argued that it doesn’t matter, drawing a parallel to Superman’s own Kryptonian origins:

It is an iconic American role… well, he’s an American icon. Whether it’s an American role or not, I can’t be sure. Superman is a universal image, and what he stands for is very universal. He was certainly raised in America, but he in himself is not necessarily American, because he comes from somewhere very far away and very different, and he is very different. And therefore all the more beautiful when he tries to do so much for all of us who are so different from him.

October 31 How ‘Immortals’ Prepped Henry Cavill For His Role as Superman

Henry Cavill and Luke Evans discuss their roles as some of the most well-known and beloved characters of both ancient and contemporary mythology, in films like Superman and ‘The Hobbit’.

Henry Cavill has gone through intense physical training for his role as the man-in-blue in Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, Man of Steel.

This Superman, by all accounts, not only carries the extraordinary gifts of his predecessors but is also one of raw, physical, brute strength and power. At the Los Angeles press event for director Tarsem Singh’s upcoming fantasy-adventure, Immortals, Cavill about how his experience with what the cast jokingly referred to as the “Immortals diet” and workout regime mentally prepared him for the rigorous work he would endure for Superman.

“Any experience on an acting job is good experience because you can take it to the next [job]. The physical experience (on “Immortals”) was obviously wonderful because it’s prepped me for this (“Superman”) physical experience. I’ve learned that when you go to this kind of level, it’s no longer about the physical, it’s more about the mental. It’s about the will power to push yourself into that very dark place. You’re standing next to the precipice, and you’ve got that weight on your shoulders, and you’re only halfway through the workout and you need to push yourself off and just go into that big f**k-off black hole and keep on pushing. “Immortals” prepped me for that emotionally and mentally…in the physical sense, if that makes sense. So, I’m very grateful for that.”

November 08 Crowe Gave Young Cavill Career Advice

Henry Cavill’s career has finally come full circle – exactly 11 years after first receiving acting advice from veteran Russell Crowe, the two are to star as father and son in the new Superman film.

A teenage Cavill was attending boarding school in England when Crowe arrived on location to shoot the movie Proof of Life. The aspiring British actor received a walk-on role as an extra in the film and, after completing his scene, he spoke with the Gladiator star about life in the spotlight.

“I had been doing school plays and stuff and so I walked up to Russell and I asked him, you know, ‘What’s it like to be an actor?’ And he said, ‘Well you know it’s great. Sometimes they treat you great, sometimes they don’t. And the money’s pretty good too.’ And then everyone came running up and I waved, and I said, ‘Quick, run!’ Because they were all looking for autographs.

“And two days later I got a signed picture of him in Gladiator saying, ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.’ At the end of that journey of a thousand miles, that first journey, he’s there as well.”

November 09 Henry Cavill Talks IMMORTALS and MAN OF STEEL

With director Tarsem Singh’s new film Immortals opening this weekend, Collider will be overrun with exclusive interviews with the filmmakers and cast over the next few days. For those not familiar with Immortals (watch the trailer and clips), the film centers on Theseus (Henry Cavill), a mortal who teams up with the Greek gods in order to defeat the power-hungry King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke). The film also stars Freida Pinto, Luke Evans, Isabel Lucas, Joseph Morgan, Kellan Lutz, and Stephen Dorff.

Anyway, earlier today I got on the phone with Henry Cavill for an exclusive interview. We talked about how he got involved in Immortals, the training, working with Tarsem and Mickey Rourke, the practical sets, his reaction to seeing the finished film, and what it was like to promote the film at WonderCon and Comic-Con. In addition, since Cavill is currently filming Man of Steel for director Zack Snyder, he talked about what has surprised him about the production, his interaction with producer Christopher Nolan, his reaction to getting cast as Superman, how he prepared for the role, and whether he ever dressed up as Superman as a kid.

November 09 Henry at Vancouver airport

Henry Cavill returns to Canada after doing a weekend of promotions in Los Angeles for his latest film, “Immortals”. Henry is returning to Vancouver, BC to resume his role as “Superman” in the film “Man of Steel”. He was in a good mood upon landing and having to clear customs.

Too handsome for words. Credits goes to Socialite Life.

November 10 Henry Cavill was raised to fly

In “Immortals,” the hyper-stylized Greek mythology movie that opens this weekend, Henry Cavill plays brave Theseus, a man who is told by gods and oracles that he has a date with destiny. Cavill can relate, in a way, because a little more than a decade ago, while he was still at a boarding school in Buckinghamshire, England, Cavill shook hands with the future.

The campus of Stowe School was being used as a backdrop for the kidnap thriller “Proof of Life,” and between shots, star Russell Crowe was amusing himself by booting a rugby ball through the posts as dozens of boys at a safe distance watched with wide-eyed fascination and a bit of fear. Cavill was in the crowd and decided that they looked foolish, so he marched up to the movie star and introduced himself. continue reading

November 11 Superman Henry Cavill is among the ‘Immortals’

Henry Cavill knows about overnight heroes.

In Immortals, opening today, he plays an overlooked peasant propelled to lead an army into battle against a sadistic king. But before Cavill could even step into the role’s leather sandals, the untested actor had to convince director Tarsem Singh that he, too, had the right stuff.

Going into their first meeting, “I was an unknown. But I wanted it badly,” Cavill says. “Tarsem saw the passion. And if you’ve got nothing else, passion will get you through.” continue reading

November 11 “Justice League” movie news

Thanks to folks from Cosmic Book News, we have some interesting news regarding a future Justice League movie.

It seems WB wants Christopher Nolan and wife, Emma Thomas, to be involved in the film in some capacity, most likely as producers. Don’t expect Christian Bale as Batman; it will be a new actor in the role. However, Henry Cavill and Ryan Reynolds could appear as their respective characters, Superman and Green Lantern — but it is too early to tell.

Warner wants another Superman movie released before Justice League, however, don’t expect that story to be compromised for Justice League, as the next Superman film will still be treated as a stand alone film.

Plans are being put together for Justice League movie for either a 2015 or 2016 release.

November 11 Cavill strikes with ‘Immortals,’ ‘Man of Steel’

Looking past Henry Cavill’s infinitely blue eyes and goofy grin, it’s not difficult to imagine the 28-year-old British actor transforming into an extremely intense dude as he describes the roughest day he experienced on the “Immortals” set — grasping the complex choreography for the film’s epic final battle.

“I was literally learning it minutes before doing it,” said Cavill during a recent interview to promote the mythological 3-D action flick. “That was fun and a great challenge, but I’m a bit of a perfectionist, and I get pissed off at myself if I don’t get it exactly right.” continue reading

November 13 More box-office news for Immortals

Immortals at #1 knocks Puss off its mountain with $32m opening

Immortals hit the box office this weekend and performed higher than originally expected grossing $32m. These aren’t titan earnings. The are rather good in this economy, but thoughts are with expecting higher grosses on a holiday weekend. Immortals opened Friday at approximately 900 locations offering midnight showings in 3D earning $1.4m. As Immortals expanded to over 3000 multiplexes nationwide, its final weekend performance came in down $4m from the revised weekend pace. 3D ticket sales, offered at a higher price point, did not bring in substantial revenue as compared to its 2D counterpart. Fanboy support for the genre and the actor(s) has been awarded credit with helping to make Immortals reach the numbers it did. [Read More]

November 16 Photoshoot update

I added additional pictures of that portrait Henry did to LA Complex, plus pictures of an USA Today portrait, both done while he was promoting Immortals in Los Angeles. Check it:

December 01 Henry Cavill changes his luck

“The unluckiest man in Hollywood” now has been tapped for two major starring roles.

Not that long ago the British film magazine Empire called British actor Henry Cavill “the unluckiest man in Hollywood.”

Cavill, a native of the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands near France, was almost Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movies, but Robert Pattinson got the nod. He had been cast as the new Superman, only to lose the job to Brandon Routh when the project changed directors. He almost won the Edward Cullen part in “Twilight” (Pattinson, again) and had been in the running to be the new James Bond.

“The funny thing is, that the roles I almost had are the ones that kept me going,” he says. “Because almost getting Bond or the previous Superman were a sign, to me, that I should keep on plugging. And I was right. It’s turning into a great year.”

The fortunes of Cavill, 28, changed with “Immortals,” the new 3-D sword and sorcery spectacle. The actor hitherto known as a supporting player on TV’s “The Tudors” shed his shirt to play Theseus, the mythical warrior/founder of Athens, battling to save humanity when Titans (led by Mickey Rourke) take on Zeus and the Olympians of ancient Greece.

“When Tarsem [Singh, the director] and I first met, I did a screen test and he said, ‘OK, let’s take the shirt off. By the way, you know if you get this part, a six-pack won’t be good enough. You’re going to need an eight-pack.’ I was far from having even a six-pack, then. But I took it as a challenge.”

Cavill could let himself go, physically, for a role in the upcoming Bruce Willis movie “The Cold Light of Day.” Then “Man of Steel,” the next Superman incarnation, beckoned. Director Zack Snyder (“300”) put Cavill into the suit and decided he could work with that.

“Back to the gym,” Cavill said with a sigh.

Cavill is finally at that point where doors open and auditions for roles might be a thing of the past. He doesn’t plan to make every character “larger than life,” pursuing more human-sized roles. But he has a dream part in mind, should anybody bother to ask.

“I’ve always had a soft spot for Alexander the Great,” he says. “It’ll be years before anybody tries that again. But I’ll keep my legs in shape for when they do!”

Star Tribune

December 22 ‘Henry Cavill is very Kermitty!’

Amy Adams did an interview to current issue of “Total Film”, out today, about Men of Steel. As she’s recently been working with both Kermit and Superman, the magazine decided to ask how they compare as leading men?

Henry Cavill is very Kermitty! There is a humility to Henry and that’s one of the reasons his Superman is going to be so compelling. He has this beautiful face and humble spirit and that’s really a hard combination to come upon.

That was cute!

December 23 ‘Man of Steel’ trailer to debut in six months!

Warner Bros. will reveal the first trailer and new images this June to prepare for Superman’s highly anticipated return to the big-screen. Warner Bros. will begin promoting its Zack Snyder-directed Superman reboot ‘Man of Steel’ a whole year before it’s 2013 release date. The studio had a similar strategy for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. The teaser trailer for that film debuted July 18, 2011, almost a year to the day of its July 20, 2012 scheduled release date. The ‘Man of Steel’ teaser trailer is set to debut on or before June 11th with official movie stills to appear in movie magazines and online before that date. (MovieNewz)

Excited much?

December 25 Happy 2012!

February 02 Henry Cavill Visits U.S. Airmen

British actor Henry Cavill showed his support for the U.S. military by visiting an airbase in California on Tuesday (31Jan12).

Cavill took a break from filming scenes for Man Of Steel to meet more than 100 members of the United States Air Force at the Edwards Air Force Base on the border of Los Angeles County.

The actor, who plays Superman in the upcoming blockbuster, has a personal connection to the military as he has one brother who is a Royal Marine and another who is serving as a tank commander.

Cavill says, “I have such great respect for military members and what they do. It’s important that they know how valuable their service is. It is a pleasure to tell them how much they’re appreciated.”

Staff Sgt. Thomas Roach adds, “It was a really nice gesture on Henry’s part to show how much he supports us and what we do. It was a great morale boost.”

February 06 Leaked Superman: Man of Steel Poster! (?)

An anonymous source has leaked an image of what appears to be a promotional poster for the upcoming Superman readaptation, Man of Steel.

The original photo, left, was obtained by MovieWeb.

Thanks to an anonymous scooper, we’ve gotten our hands on one of the first posters from next year’s DC Comics reboot Superman: Man of Steel, directed by Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill as mild mannered reporter, Clark Kent. In this one-sheet, the first we’ve seen of it’s kind, Superman faces off against an army of Helicopters, a shadowy Zod (Michael Shannon) and what looks to be a robot, of which we’ve heard little about. This is by no means an official poster that we can verify, and may not even find its way into a theater, but it’s clearly real, and could be one of many.

Man of Steel, which is directed by Zack Snyder, and stars Henry Cavill, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Shannon, and Russell Crowe, flies into theaters June 14, 2013.

February 11 Henry looking to join period epic The Great Wall

Henry Cavill is still working hard as the eponymous man of steel in Zack Snyder’s new Superman film, but the Brit star must be enjoying a little downtime, because he’s eying his next project, period epic The Great Wall.

Edward Zwick, of The Last Samurai, is already in place as director, having written the screenplay with Marshall Herskovitz. It’s based on a story by World War Z scribes Max Brooks and Thomas Tull.

Plot details are light, but Variety report that the film will look into the mystery behind how China’s Great Wall was built in the 5th Century BC.

No word yet on who Cavill would play, though we assume he’ll get to fling a few fists in the process. With Zwick behind the camera we should definitely expect some action, not to mention beautiful period furnishings.

Cavill may still be pumping iron as Superman, but we won’t get to see the finished film until Man Of Steel opens on 14 June 2013.

February 11 Michael Shannon: ‘Henry Cavill is a fantastic Superman’

Michael Shannon has praised Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Superman in Man of Steel.

The Oscar-nominated star, who recently revealed that he is not a big fan of the Superman comic books, insisted that Cavill brings an “edge” to the role of the Kryptonian superhero.

“Henry is a fantastic Superman, he’s got a little edge to him and he’s smart, clever and I had fun working with him,” Shannon told The Playlist.

March 02 Tarsen: “Henry is the best Superman you could have”

Tarsem has described his Immortals star Henry Cavill as the “perfect” choice to play Superman.

British actor Cavill was cast in Zack Snyder’s superhero reboot Man of Steel after playing Theseus in the 3D fantasy epic, which is released on Blu-ray and DVD this week.

“I think he’s about the best Superman you could ever have. When I first saw him – this was before I knew he [auditioned] for Superman, because the last Superman had been made a year and a half before Immortals and tanked – I said, ‘This is Clark Kent!'”

“He’s very gentle, manly, just everything was perfect for it. He was so excited when he got it but I didn’t doubt for a second that he wouldn’t get it. Snyder would be lind not to see how right he was for [the role].”

The action thriller starring Henry Cavill, Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver had been slated for an April 6 wide release — the weekend featuring Paramount’s Titanic 3D (which opens that Wednesday) and Universal’s American Reunion. Now Summit has shifted The Cold Light Of Day to a limited release September 7. The film is being released internationally before it opens domestically.

March 17 New Haircut to Henry

The Man of Steel wrapped up filming a month or so ago, with Henry Cavill sporting at least some kind of resemblance to the iconic look of Superman’s hair. While Cavill may not have featured the “S” curl — at least as Superman — he did have some hair nonetheless.
Now, a new image has surfaced of Cavill featuring a buzz cut. It is unknown whether or not Cavill buzzed his head for a new movie, or to just look like the following super fan — Rob Allan!
Rob met Henry on a flight in Dublin, and posted the following pic on the Man of Steel Fan FB Page.
Pretty cool. For more from Henry Cavill check out Immortals currently on Blu-Ray, The Cold Light Of Day this coming Fall, and the Man of Steel in June of 2013.

April 15 New Superman To Be Edgy

There is little over a year before the latest superman movie Man of Steel is due to hit the box offices around the globe, Dylan Sprayberry who plays a teenage Clark Kent has been interviewed about the experience and it seem that Man of Steel will be a lot “darker” than previous versions of the comic book superhero.

“When Zack (Snyder) and I were talking about it the first time, he was saying how Superman, they want to give it a more edgy feel like The Dark Knight but also make it more realistic and emotional so it’s not just the all-american superhero that saves everyone. He has dilemmas and love and struggles throughout the whole movie, especially when he’s a kid.”

And on participating in the movie,

“It was really great. I didn’t even really notice how big it was until I finished shooting. It was so overwhelming that it was crazy, I was like “I can’t believe I just did all that.” In the moment, I was really focused on the work and the acting.”

Along with Henry Cavill who is playing the man of steel himself the movie also stars a couple of Hollywood’s heavyweights Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe as well as Laurence Fishburne, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Julia Ormond and Michael Shannon and is directed by Zack Snyder and is due to hit theatres middle of June 2013.

April 22 Henry Thanks Crew with Commemorative Coin

Mark Twight, the lead fitness trainer on Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman reboot Man of Steel, received this very cool commemorative coin from actor Henry Cavill to “remember the satisfyingly hard work and good times.” Here’s his statement to the crew:

“Thank you so much for all of your hard work over such a long shoot. During shooting I discovered that the US military have a series of coins to commemorate each department and individual force within the military so I thought, considering the epic journey we all went through on such an iconic project, it only fair that we have our own coin too! This is just a little souvenir to keep and remember the satisfyingly hard work and the good times from start to finish – Henry Cavill”

Twight’s wife shared a photo of the coin with her followers on Twitter.

May 05 Happy Birthday, Henry!

Today is Henry’s 29th birthday, and MrCavill.com would like to wish him a great day with his beloved ones. We’ll be here cheering for you another year, wishing you continued success!

Feel free to leave a birthday message to him in our comments.

May 11 There’s more to the next ‘Superman’ than great looks

Things are pretty quiet on Henryland this days, so I think you’d like to read this article. Enjoy:

DOES Henry Cavill have what it takes to wear the Man of Steel’s cape in Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot, “Man of Steel”? If you didn’t see Tarsem Singh’s “Immortals” last year, “The Cold Light of Day” (showing this week), the actioner Cavill topbills with Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver, has the answer—and it’s a positive one.

We’re talking about the hunky actor’s performance, not the movie, which follows the misadventures of Will (Cavill), a Wall Street trader who finds himself running all over Madrid after his family is kidnapped during a sailing trip in Spain.

In the incoherent course of the darkly photographed movie, the distraught Will learns that his father (Willis) not only has a second family in the Spanish capital, but is also revealed to be a rogue CIA operative who has possession of a contentious briefcase that contains important documents—though the movie never divulges what they are.

The action-thriller meanders all the way into its perfunctory finale—but, at least Cavill demonstrates that there’s more to him than his good looks. His acting choices are consistently spot-on, from beginning to end.

This bodes well for the upcoming big-screen “rebirth” of the DC universe’s Mightiest Superhero, which comes in the heels of the disappointing “Green Lantern.” Of course, Batman’s “Dark Knight” trilogy is in a class all its own, because the brilliant Christopher Nolan is behind it.

May 22 Raising The Roof

Oh, hello gorgeous! Nice to see you!

According to Vogue UK, Henry attended past Saturday the Lovebrunch, in London.

Held at The Roof Gardens in Kensington, it combined the laid-back atmosphere of a daylight gathering with great music, barbecue delicacies and a host of cocktails to put guests in the party mood. And it seems Vogue wasn’t the only one enamoured with the afternoon’s delights – we spotted Brit actor and soon-to-be Superman Henry Cavill also in attendance.

May 31 “Man of Steel” in San Diego Comic-Con?

The UNNOFICIAL blog for San Diego Comic-Con did a post today about some movies that may be appearing at this year’s SDCC.

Though some movie studios have decreased their presence at the con after big SDCC hits resulted in tiny box office bumps, Comic-Con remains one of the biggest places to show off upcoming movies, especially those of the sci-fi and fantasy variety. Below we have a list of 20 possible flicks for SDCC 2012, along with a percentage of the chance they’ll be in attendance and some information about each. Even though they’re only (researched and well-judged) guesses, it should be more than enough to get any movie buff excited for this year’s con.

Man of Steel – 60% – Zack Snyder’s kept this one pretty close to the chest but as long as he has some effects-ready footage to show, expect him to make a pretty big event out of it.

So, what do you think? We’ll have a big show up at San Diego this year?

June 04 “The Great Wall” Casting Info

So, finally some updates regarding “The Great Wall”. It seems the co-lead it’s between Alexander Skarsgård (True Blood) and Benjamin Walker (Abrahan Lincoln, the Vampire Hunter).

The Great Wall is an adventure film about British warriors traveling through 15th Century China and happen upon the hurried construction of the massive wall. As night falls, the warriors realize that the haste in building the wall isn’t just to keep out the Mongols. There is something inhuman and more dangerous. The picture, based on an idea by Legendary CEO Thomas Tull and Max Brooks, is being made through the Hong Kong-based Legendary East.

So exciting!

June 06 Warner Bros hires writer for ‘Justice League’

Well, now that “The Avengers” it’s up and became this huge success, it’s everyone waiting for a “Justice League” movie. With everyone pressuring DC Comics to do it, they decide to take some action.

Variety is reporting that Gangster Squad screenwriter Will Beall will produce a script for the superhero ensemble film. A Justice League project was last put into production in 2007 with director George Miller attached to helm. However, it was later scrapped.

Henry is Superman, and Christian Bale is Batman, but he already told the Dark Knight Rises would be his last one on Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise. However he wouldn’t be opposed to reprising the role again, if the scripts were good enough. But, it is unknown if the project will tie into previous and forthcoming DC adaptations or be completely standalone – which makes no sense to me, but we never know what Hollywood is up to, right?

June 07 “Man of Steel” New Promo Image

Someone named as “a friend” sent to Collider a new promotional poster for “Man of Steel”, with the “S” logo only but still…

This release makes me really excited… do you remember I posted last year a note regarding a MoS teaser trailer? I don’t know if it’s legit or not, but we’re in June. So, it that note was legit, a teaser trailer may be coming around.

June 10 “The Great Wall” Production Postponed

While Legendary Pictures just set Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter star Benjamin Walker on Friday to join Man of Steel‘s Henry Cavill in the Ed Zwick-directed The Great Wall, a decision has just been made to push from a fall start date until next spring.

Rumors have been racing this weekend that The Great Wall might be crumbling but I’m told that is not the case. In fact, casting on the film continues with Zhang Ziyi and other Chinese talent is also being courted for the film.

The issue is weather. The film will shoot in locations in China and New Zealand, and logistically it will be easier to do this in the spring than if the picture keeps its fall start date. Insiders tell me the film will happen, even though a domestic distributor hasn’t yet been secured. It is meant to be the first major film to kick off Legendary East, and with every studio looking for opportunities to make films in China, the project certainly seems viable.

Set in 15th century China, The Great Wall is about British warriors who happen upon the hurried construction of the massive wall. As night falls, the warriors realize that the haste in building the wall isn’t just to keep out the Mongols — there is something inhuman and more dangerous. The picture is based on an idea by Legendary CEO Thomas Tull and Max Brooks.

Now, Legendary postponed the Alex Proyas epic Paradise Lost before eventually scrapping the picture over budget, but I’m persuaded the intention is to make The Great Wall happen.

June 30 Comic-Con 2012: Official Saturday Schedule

The schedule for July 14 is up!

2:30-5:00 Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Preview Their Upcoming Lineups—

Legendary Pictures: Pacific Rim-From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim. When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes — a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) — who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse. Pacific Rim also stars Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, and Charlie Day.

Warner Bros. Pictures: Man Of Steel

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey-From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, a production of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). Jackson returns to Middle-earth in an adventure that begins 60 years before the events depicted in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The first of two films adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien’s enduringly popular masterpiece, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey follows titular Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), who-along with the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and a band of 13 Dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage)-is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. The film’s ensemble cast includes Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lily, and Andy Serkis as Gollum.

It makes me nervous that has no panelists announced for Man of Steel.

July 09 ‘Man Of Steel’ Will Be In IMAX 3D

The last two times director Zack Snyder walked into San Diego Comic-Con, he brought the house down with impressive presentations for 300 and Watchmen. Saturday, he returns with the Warner Bros. Superman reboot Man of Steel, a film we’ve yet to see anything official for save for one still image and a logo. Expectations are high that we’ll get to see a bunch of footage and learn some major things about the film however, it seems like Warner Bros. has already started to let the information get out.

An update to the official IMAX site reveals the fairly obvious news that Man of Steel will be in 3D and IMAX. They also have a new plot description.

In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question ‘Why am I here?’ Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope – Superman.

The IMAX release of Man of Steel will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX’s customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.

Man of Steel will open in IMAX 3D on June 14, 2013. Are you ready?

July 09 Campbell: ‘Henry Cavill could be a future 007’

GoldenEye and Casino Royale director Martin Campbell has said that Henry Cavill could potentially play James Bond in the future.

Man of Steel star Cavill auditioned for the 007 role in 2005, eventually losing out to Daniel Craig. Campbell told The Express that Craig had the edge thanks to his turn as a gangster in Layer Cake.

“Henry did a great screen test for Bond. So did Daniel, although he arrived for his looking really tired after a night flight from America where he was finishing up a movie called The Invasion. None of us making the casting decision were 100% sure. I needed a couple of days to think about it. Over that weekend I saw Daniel’s film Layer Cake and he showed such terrific charm in that that it convinced me he should get the part.

Perhaps Henry Cavill was too young for it then, he was 22 at the time we auditioned for Casino Royale, but maybe he could still be James Bond in the future, after all, Pierce Brosnan did a great screen test only to eventually get the part years later.”

July 12 Henry Cavill to Make Surprise Appearance at WB Panel

Superman is coming to Comic-Con.

Henry Cavill, the actor who is portraying the DC superhero in Warner Bros’ Man of Steel, will make an appearance at the studio’s Saturday Hall H panel, sources confirm to The Hollywood Reporter.

Whether Cavill would show up has been rumored but not confirmed. When the Comic-Con schedule was first officially revealed in late June, the only thing written about the Man of Steel panel were the words “Man of Steel.”

Yesterday, Warners sent out a press release elaborating details of the participants of its panels for The Hobbit (Ian McKellan, who plays Gandalf, is one of those attending) and Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro’s sci-fi monster epic for Legendary.

But for Man of Steel, the studio said only that director Zack Snyder would be on hand and that footage would be shown; no one else was mentioned.

Other actors from the movie, such as Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe, are not expected to attend.

The “Man of Steel” trailer – the one attached at The Dark Knight Rises – will also be shown at Comic-Con.

July 14 “Man of Steel” Comic-Con Poster

The panel for Man of Steel has just ended, and folks over ComingSoon did a live blog with details from the teaser preview.

Shooting is finished and movie is in post-production. Zach said that, in the past, Superman has been a big blue boy scout on throne, he wants to make it so he can beat the s–t out of people. It’s also confirmed that a trailer is attached with The Dark Knight Rises so be sure to take your sit in time to watch it!

There’s a single flash of Amy Adams on the teaser trailer, and it has a lot of back and forth on time periods, from Clark as child and on costume. Zod isn’t also confirmed as the big villain.

Henry told he loved “The Death of Superman” and “Red Son” comic arc, it was the first ones he used for research.

First impressions of teaser trailer – based on Twitter and Facebook postage during the panel – was pretty good. Can’t wait to see it!

August 27 Justice League Rumors

As everyone knows, Warner Bros. is doing their superhero team-up movie, but since it’s not even confirmed they will be using the same Superman actor (aka our Henry), let’s treat all “Justice League” news as rumors, okay?

The big talk right now is “who” is going to direct the movie. The name on the top of the Warner’s list was Ben Affleck, but he confirmed he’s not going to do it.

“I’m not working on the ‘Justice League.’ One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that’s how rumours get started. ‘Justice League’ sounds really exciting, but it’s not something I’m working on.”

Now Moviehole is suggesting that Andy and Lana Wachowski, the duo behind “The Matrix” trilogy, are another possibility on the Warner’s list, like The Playlist is pointing here.

So, what do you think?

August 30 “The Cold Light of Day”: Henry Interview

The site Flicks & Bits has an interview done with Henry, not sure when done but published this week. Check it:

In 24 hours Will Shaw’s family will be dead. Armed with a gun, but no information, distraught, confused and alone in an unfamiliar city, Will (Henry Cavill) is forced to piece together the puzzle of his missing family. Unwittingly embroiled in a Government conspiracy with agents from all sides hot on his tail, an unrelenting chase across the streets of Madrid intensifies and Will is forced to question everything he has ever known in order to stay alive long enough to rescue his family… but is there anyone left he can trust? Starring Henry Cavill (Immortals, Man of Steel) alongside Hollywood action legends Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver, ‘The Cold Light of Day’ is an adrenaline fuelled action thriller from director Mabrouk El Mechri. The film is released September 7th in the US, while it sees its Blu-Ray and DVD release in the UK on September 10th.

You filmed ‘The Cold Light of Day’ just after ‘Immortals,’ a film you trained extensively for to get your characters physique and fighting abilities on point. With this, you’re playing an average man, with no particular skills. What was the experience like preparing for this role?

Henry Cavill: The preparation for this role was different, indeed (laughs). I came off ‘Immortals’ where I had to be super fit, and sort of the killer of men. This one was quite the opposite because I was told that I wasn’t allowed to do a single push-up or sit-up, I had to eat and drink as much as possible and be as average and normal as I possibly could be – within the short space of preparation time given, because ‘The Cold Light of Day’ was literally filmed off the back of ‘Immortals.’ The idea of the preparation was: be less competent and walk with less balance. For example, in a high stress situation, Theseus was very much someone who would react perfectly. In ‘The Cold Light of Day,’ Will doesn’t act that way at all (laughs). He runs or he fires blindly and tries to survive. The preparation was different. It was difficult to do prep for that. You kind of have to just feel it in the moment and run with it. But the most difficult thing was I suppose getting out of shape, it was trying to be as out of shape as possible so that it’s more believable in the story. continue reading

September 07 Henry Cavill is “The Real Deal”

When “Man of Steel” hits theaters next June, you’ll believe a man can fly, and that’s all thanks to the convincing work of leading man Henry Cavill.

Speaking with MTV News at the red carpet premiere of “Boardwalk Empire” this week, “Man of Steel” actor Michael Shannon — who plays the villain in the Zack Snyder-directed action film — expressed his admiration for Cavill’s work ethic and his amazing transformation into the Last Son of Krypton.

“I always felt like I was in a scene with Superman,” Shannon said of Cavill’s performance. “I never looked at him and thought that’s just somebody trying to be Superman — he felt like the real deal. I really admire Henry’s work ethic. I really haven’t seen anybody in this business work quite that hard. Obviously it’s a tremendous responsibility, and an intimidating one, to wear that suit. But he had the confidence and the work ethic to accomplish it.”

September 12 Amy Adams: “I hope you guys love Cavill as Superman”

Collider published an interview with Amy Adams about her most recent movie “The Master”, and of course a few “Man of Steel” related questions was asked. Check it:

How was the experience of playing Lois Lane this summer?

Adams: It was great. It was really good. Henry [Cavill] – I hope you guys love him as Superman – worked so hard. He is just yummy and really committed to the role. He really did a good job. I haven’t seen the final cut and I have only seen a couple of the teasers. So I am with you guys. I know it because I was there but there was so much that I wasn’t involved in that I can’t wait to see.

Is there going to be humor in your interpretation of Lois Lane? We’ve seen the humorous Lois Lane in some movies and TV shows and other times she is more serious and very competitive with Clark Kent.

Adams: No, I think she is a little more…we will have to see. I don’t know. I mean, she is definitely a pistol still and she definitely gets herself in a lot of trouble still. But she is not as competitive, I would say, with Clark.

September 24 Ed Zwick Exits ‘The Great Wall’

Bad news? The Playlist is reporting “The Great Wall” did lost its director.

In the works for a while now, the first production by Legendary East has been operating under something of a veil of secrecy. What we do know thus far: Superman and Abraham Lincoln (Henry Cavill and Benjamin Walker) are in the leads of pic, with Zhang Ziyi joining them, in a script penned by Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz which is based off a story, dreamed up by Legendary honcho Thomas Tull and “World War Z” author Max Brooks, that centers on two 15th century British warriors who stumble across the wall mid-construction, but soon realize that it’s not just being built to keep out the Mongols, but something else entirely. Production was slated to begin this year, but was pushed to next spring due to weather and incomplete financing.

November 20 New trailer coming ahead of “The Hobbit”

How would you like to see a little more “Man of Steel” before heading to Middle Earth with “The Hobbit” next month? Warner Bros. is adding an extra treat to the highly anticipated release of Peter Jackson’s latest film via a brand-new trailer for the Zack Snyder flick, delivered in both 2-D and 3-D.

“It’s fun. I can’t wait for ‘The Hobbit,’ so it will be fun to see our crazy ‘Man of Steel’ trailer and then enjoy the Hobbit because that’s going to be great,” Snyder told MTV News. “It just feels like a fun Christmas thing to do, drag the whole family out for that action.”

Snyder is embracing the holiday spirit ahead of schedule, via the fanfare surrounding the recent release of the “Watchmen Collector’s Edition” along with the heroic efforts of “Man of Steel” stars Henry Cavill and chief villain Michael Shannon.

“Shannon is great, he has such great enthusiasm and dedication constantly,” Snyder said of the “Take Shelter” actor fully embracing Zod. “You can imagine that you could get actors who go, ‘Oh right, it’s Zod, it’s not 100 percent serious,’ or [you can play it] slightly with a wink, there is none of that with him. His effort is to make it realized and to understand this character and what he has to go through, so you have that on one side and you have Henry, who basically is Superman, on the other side and that dynamic.”

Snyder went on to say that he is incredibly thankful that Cavill and Shannon were onboard with the idea of making their iconic comic book characters as real as possible.

“I was just incredibly fortunate to play with those guys who really were giving all they had to bring a level of commitment to the scenes they have together so that audiences will get an opportunity to really have their heroes taken seriously,” he said. “As serious as I was taking it, and I don’t mean that from a depressing kind of way but from a, ‘This is important and fun and needs to be given the respect that it deserves,’ from that perspective it was so exciting to watch them drink the Kool-Aid of that concept and go all the way.”

And in nearing the home stretch in completing the film ahead of its June 14 release, Snyder seems more than content with his post-production progress.

“I’m super psyched. It’s really fun,” he said of his continued enthusiasm for “Man of Steel.” “I have no superhero fatigue.”

November 20 Henry to be “Tarzan”?

A few days ago a short list has been released about the “Tarzan” remake that Warner Bros. has been working on. Henry Cavill, Sons Of Anarcy” star Charlie Hunnam, “True Blood” fang banger Alexander Skarsgard and “Dark Knight Rises” Tom Hardy was named to be meeting Yates to discuss the lead role.

But it seems the favorite of David Yates and Warner Bros. isn’t your Man of Steel, but Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård.

As Variety notes, there is no offer and a casting decision hasn’t been made so there’s still hope for those who want to see Henry as the King of the Jungle! So should this all come to pass, Skarsgård will play John Clayton III, who gets reassimilated into society only to be asked by Queen Victoria to investigate some strange things going on in the Congo. At his side? Civil War veteran George Washington Williams, a role that Samuel L. Jackson is being eyed for.

What do you think?

November 25 ‘Steel’ this movie

Superman and his new director dish on next summer’s reinvention of the world’s first comic-book superhero

The final version is a brief-free, all-blue unitard with red boots and a red cape.

“If you look at the costume, it’s very modern, but the relationship to the original costume is strong,” Snyder says.

“You come onto a project like this, and you hear about modernization and you hear about bringing things forward to today, and all you can do is hope that it’s going to look cool and different from

anything you’ve seen before,”

Cavill says of the suit, which takes him 15 to 25 minutes to put on. “And I’m pretty sure it does.”

To fill out the costume, Cavill worked out intensely for two hours each morning, and consumed as many as 5,000 calories a day.

“I have been put through the ringer big time,” Cavill says. “An example of the workouts we’ve been doing, it was 100 front squats of body weight. There are kettle-bell workouts. It’s very hard work.”

If “Man of Steel” pays off, it will have been worth it. The film is already saddled with gigantic expectations.

“I heard one time that the Superman glyph is the second or third most recognizable symbol on Earth after the Christian cross,” Snyder says. “It’s this crazy responsibility.”

The film will also be expected to launch a new franchise, which 2006’s lukewarmly received “Superman Returns” failed to do. Cavill confirms he is signed up for three films. Snyder is mum about directing more. continue reading

November 27 Hollywood Mavericks

Rumors of Hollywood’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. However, everything is upside down: The top-heavy old-guard studio dinosaurs bear the whiff of desperation, while the real power is bubbling up from below in the form of an inspired and mobilized creative class that’s more reliant on big ideas than big budgets. No one is who they seem: Writers are becoming directors, directors are becoming moguls, actors are becoming all of the above instead of lying around praying for a spin-off. And nothing is static: Partnerships want to be companies, companies want to be cultural movements, cultural movements want to fundamentally change the way we define entertainment. All this constructive chaos is being fueled by the fevered, risk-taking innovators who see tumult and transition as the time to pounce, to kick up dust rather than wait for it to settle. These bold thinkers have no time for sky-is-falling prognostication and no need for affirmation. They’re too busy working, building the future—because they know they have one.

The Outsourced Superhero
Superman-in-waiting Henry Cavill stands for truth, justice, and the not-actually-American way.

In the age of globalization, the Justice League looks more and more like the League of Nations. Consider: Today, Batman and Spider-Man are British; Thor and Wolverine are Australian; Green Hornet, Arrow, and Lantern are Canadian. The latest, and most conspicuous, to join the ranks of outsourced superheroes is Henry Cavill, the 29-year-old star of next summer’s Zack Snyder–directed Superman opus, Man of Steel—the quintessential American icon, now portrayed by a native of England’s quaint Channel Island of Jersey. Smallville it ain’t.

“I suppose it’s a fluke,” says Cavill, who lives in London. “It’s about who looks right for the character and for the generation it’s being cast for. If you only look at the American market, you’re narrowing down your options an awful lot. The point of acting is to pretend you’re someone else and sell a story. Chris Hemsworth is an Australian man, not a god from Asgaard. It would be even more fluke-y if every person who was playing a superhero was American.” continue reading

November 30 “50 Shades of Grey” Movie: Henry Cavill is out

The 50 Shades of Grey movie casting rumors recently got supercharged when Superman Henry Cavill commented on the possibility of playing Christian Grey. However, fans of E. L. James’ erotic novel probably won’t get to see Anastasia Steele being spanked by the Man of Steel star.

According to a Nov. 30 report by Entertainmentwise, Henry Cavill’s reps have already denied that he’s in talks for the role.

So, what do you think?

Warner Bros has launched a brand new viral website for the upcoming superhero movie Man of Steel by director Zack Snyder. The movie stars Henry Cavill as Superman and Amy Adams as Lois Lane, with Russell Crowe, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner and Michael Shannon rounding out the cast. The mysterious website The Deep Space Radio Wave Project appear with a link to an intriguing countdown clock with ‘otherworldly’ digits. You can try to decipher the code using the The Deep Space Radio Wave Project key page to see what it all means. I am completely lost as to how you’re supposed to crack the code, but I’m sure fans will do it in no time. Hopefully there will be some great new stuff coming our way once it’s done.
