thanks to henrycavill.org. from todays new issue hitting the stand of EMPIRE magazing today Revelas wb will def ask Snyder to Direct Justice leauge if man of steel is a hit! hit the jump!  Burbank, post-production, 2013 — a year-and-a-half later: Zack Snyder is literally holding the baby. “Family responsibilities,” he apologises. His and Deborah’s new arrival is being gently swapped between parental laps while they discuss their other newborn, currently receiving its coat of special effects. With the help of seven different effects houses including Weta Digital, their bonny, bouncing Superman is taking flight.

“The magic of post is you almost make the movie twice,” enthuses Snyder. “You’re like, ‘Oh my Lord, I didn’t know it was going to be that awesome.”Deborah Snyder definitely prefers post. “Shooting is always more stressful,” she sighs.Man Of Steel has been epic. She does a quick tally in her head, counting the days. “You know, this is the longest gestation we have ever had on a movie. And we are still not done.” Time enough for a new Snyder to enter the world.

Both filmmakers know the proof will finally be in the watching, but there are rumblings about the breakfast counters of rival studios that Man Of Steel is turning out very well indeed. Plans are being hatched, they say. Warner Bros.’ long-term view has been revised to embrace this new vision, just as theDark Knight films resisted the commodification of Marvel. Whether we get a Justice League, they say, depends onMan Of Steel. If we do, they say, Zack Snyder will be asked to direct.

“I have a hard time having perspective,” Snyder admits modestly. “But I have to say that it is everything that I could have hoped for. Touch wood that I am not insane, but it feels really good.”

The final running time is something like two hours ten, and this is it. “The movie is the director’s cut,” he insists.

“l’m definitely proud of the film,” says producer Charles Roven, more shared DNA with the Dark Knight films, which he also produced. When you’re dealing with Superman, he appreciates, you’re dealing with a brand somewhere between Coca-Cola and Christ. That ‘S’ emblazoned on his chest is in the top five most known symbols in the world. Snyder’s heard it’s top two. Theirs is a film, Roven hopes, for both the lifelong fans and those who don’t relate. “But the audience has to tell us how they feel.”
