Here He Is! Henry Cavill is the New Superman

OK. Henry Cavill is the new Superman in the 2012 update of the franchise, a movie that is reportedly titled, "The Man of Steel."  He is a British actor and was born in 1983.  His first major role was in the 2002 version of The Count of Monte Cristo, and he also had small roles in Stardust (2007) and Woody Allen's 2009 flick, Whatever Works.

The news began leaking out late last week, I think.  Then, Deadline made it semi-official, but I guest this press release make it officially official:

Henry Cavill Will Take on the Dual Role of Clark Kent / Superman in the New Film from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures

BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced today that Henry Cavill has won the coveted role of Superman, the iconic superhero.

The film will be directed by Zack Snyder, who stated, “In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen. I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.”

Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder are the producers of the film. The screenplay is being written by David S. Goyer based on a story by Goyer and Nolan. Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips are serving as executive producers.

Cavill recently wrapped production on “The Cold Light of Day” and stars in the upcoming “Immortals,” opening this fall.

Targeted for release in December 2012, the new Superman movie will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. [END]

He's handsome enough, and right now, I like the choice.  More later... maybe.

Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan on Becoming the Lord of Pandemonium

I read Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Vol. 1

I posted a review at the Comic Book Bin (which has FREE smart phone apps).

Iron Man 2 Gets 2011 Oscar Nomination

The Oscar watchers that I'd been following the last few weeks thought it would be the odd man out in favor of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, but Iron Man 2 earned an Oscar nomination in the category of best visual effects.

83rd Academy Award Nominations - Visual Effects:

1. “Alice in Wonderland” Ken Ralston, David Schaub, Carey Villegas and Sean Phillips

2. “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” Tim Burke, John Richardson, Christian Manz and Nicolas Aithadi

3. “Hereafter” Michael Owens, Bryan Grill, Stephan Trojanski and Joe Farrell

4. “Inception” Paul Franklin, Chris Corbould, Andrew Lockley and Peter Bebb

5. “Iron Man 2” Janek Sirrs, Ben Snow, Ged Wright and Daniel Sudick

I think the winner is likely to be either Alice in Wonderland or Inception, but still when one considers the state of movies made from Marvel Comics titles just 13 years ago before Blade, Marvel Studios has come a long way.
 
The winners in this category and others will be announced Feb. 27, 2011 on ABC.
