When Henry Cavill had been cast as an extra in the Russell Crowe film Proof of Life, he decided to take advantage of the situation by asking the actor who would someday play his Kryptonian father, Jor-El, a question.
   “I had been doing school plays and so I walked up to Russell and I asked him, ‘What’s it like to be an actor?’” Cavill revealed to Contact Music. “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 said, ‘Quick, run!’, because they were all looking for autographs. 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 thousan miles, that first journey, he’s there as well.”

HENRY CAVILL IN FLIGHT? Not!

Although Geek Summit claims to have footage of Henry Cavill in "flight" against green screen in costume, in reality they're just having a little fun showing off their custom made Henry Cavill/Man of Steel action figure. The figure itself is actually pretty cool.

MICHAEL SHANNON: Talking Zod with EW

Entertainment Weekly has an interview with actor Michael Shannon in which he discusses the second season of his HBO series Boardwalk Empire. However, during the course of that interview the conversation turns to Zack Snyder's Man of Steel and Shannon's portrayal of the Kryptonian Zod. What follows is an excerpt from that interview.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:
Were you a fan of the Superman comics, or Terence Stamp’s Zod in Superman II?
MICHAEL SHANNON:
I don’t read the comic book, although when I got the job, they sent me a giant DC Comics book that weighs about a ton. It’s got the whole history of DC in it. It’s fascinating, actually. I looked at it with my daughter. She’s really fascinated by it. I remember Terence Stamp doing it. He was phenomenal. I have to try and figure out a way to do something different.

HENRY CAVILL: Interview Except From "Of Gods and Man (of Steel)"

In the new issue of SciFi Now magazine, Voices From Krypton editor Ed Gross offers up an exclusive interview with actor Henry Cavill who discusses his role of Theseus in Immortals and Superman in Man of Steel. The following is an excerpt from that interview. For the full conversation, check out the new issue of SciFi Now magazine, which is also currently available for downloading on the iPad.
ED GROSS:
The roles of Theseus and Superman have required you to transform physically, and I wonder what the transformative result of that is on you emotionally or psychologically when you walk on a set.
HENRY CAVILL:
That’s a very good question…. The mindset when you change your body physically, and your ability physically, there’s more of a self-belief. There is more of a security in yourself. It’s quite a unique feeling when you have a moment and you’re rested, and you’re not exhausted and everything else, you think, “I can do this stuff; I’m probably in the top 10 of physically fit people in this room,” and that’s a very good

WORLD'S FINEST: Superman/Batman Movie in Development?

The website Thinkmcflythink.com (gotta love that name!) is reporting that Warner Bros., which had made note that a Justice League movie was on the table, is developing a Superman/Batman film. States the story, "The studio is also quietly developing a Batman/Superman team-up movie. Similar to Justice League, the Brothers Warner has wanted to get their two biggest superheroes on the same screen together for years. The closest it came to fruition was Batman vs. Superman with Wolfgang Peterson-directing from a script by Andrew Kevin Walker. That fell apart as we all know, but executives loved that script. In a classic case of covering your ass, what we're hearing is two separate incarnations are being tooled. One version where the World's Greatest Detective is firmly established and helps mentor an up-and-coming, fresh-faced Supes and vice versa. Essentially, they're hoping they can woo Christian Bale back into the cape-and-cowl for a fourth time and in case the Oscar-winner tells them, 'No thanks, I'm done!', they'll go for a new actor altogether. Both versions would feature Henry Cavill's Last Son of Krypton."
   Editorial Note: While an intriguing notion, any possibility of a Superman/Batman movie would be years away. At least it would seem so, given that Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises hits theatres summer 2012 and Zack Snyder's Man of Steel the following summer. Still, this would be such a preferable idea to the notion of a Justice League movie; it would just be that much more realistic... if that's not too weird a word given the context.
