UPCOMING BLOCKBUSTERS 2012

The Amazing Spiderman

The Amazing Spider-Man is an upcoming American superhero film currently in post production. It is the fourth Columbia Pictures film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man and the first film in a rebooted Spider-Man film franchise. Originally, Spider-Man 4 was planned for release in 2011; however, in 2010 the film was cancelled due to Sam Raimi's withdrawal from the project, as he felt he could not meet the planned release date without sacrificing artistic integrity. Sony announced that the franchise will in turn be rebooted with new director Marc Webb and a new cast that includes Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors. The reboot's intention is to have Peter Parker back to developing his abilities in high school. It is scheduled to be released in 3D & IMAX on July 3, 2012.

Superman: Man of Steel

Almost nothing is known about the plot to director Zack Snyder's Superman franchise reboot, Man of Steel. The director has said that his take on DC Comics' most famous superhero will be "different" than previous movies and that it will "focus on the early days of Superman," but that's not much to go on. We do know that Kryptonian madman General Zod (played by Michael Shannon) will appear in the movie, but even that is not necessarily a clue as to what obstacles Superman (Henry Cavill) will face. After all, when Zod first appeared on screen in Richard Donner's Superman, it was only in a cameo role. But, thanks to actress Diane Lane, who will play Superman's adoptive mother, Martha Kent, we now know that Man of Steel will definitely be an origin story going back to when Superman was a Superbaby.Man of Steel was written by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight) from a story idea conceived by Goyer and producer Christopher Nolan. The cast also includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Kevin Costner as Martha's husband, Jonathan Kent. According to Snyder, the movie will be going into production "at the end of the summer." A December 2012 release date is planned.

Casting began the following November. Henry Cavill has been cast as Superman, making him the first non-American actor to be cast in the role. Amy Adams will portray Lois Lane, while Diane Lane has been cast as Martha Kent. Further casting includes Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Michael Shannon, who will take on the role of the villain, General Zod, and Russel Crowe as Superman's Kryptonian father, Jor-El. German actress Antje Traue has been cast to play the villainess Faora. Filming will commence at Vancouver Film Studios, and the film, reportedly titled Superman: Man of Steel, will be released in theaters in December 2012, which also includes Lido IMAX!
