http://www.deadline.com/2011/04/toldja-michael-shannon-gets-villain-role-in-superman/

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced today that Michael Shannon will star in the role of General Zod in director Zack Snyder’s new Superman film, titled “Man of Steel.”

Anyone who has seen HBOs Boardwalk Empire…yeah this guy is off his rocker enough to do Zod justice

Liam Neeson cut from ‘The Hangover Part II’

The reason I’m linking this?

“Call it a case of bad timing. According to director Todd Phillips, the scene immediately following Neeson’s cameo was snipped from the film, which meant that Neeson’s scene had to be re-shot to help fill in the gaps and move the story forward. Unfortunately, Neeson was no longer available because he was in London shooting the sequel to "Clash of the Titans.”"

A sequel? Really…?

Yeah - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1646987/

Wrath of the Titans. Worthington will be in it as well.

Worthington gets the chance to yell, “KAHN!”?

Or, will a Titan make a mistake and scream, “Noooooo…” a la Revenge of the Sith?

Apologies if this has been posted already. I did a search and didn’t see anything. When I saw Hanna over the weekend this trailer caught my attention.

Heard back from Zediva today. They basically said to add us to your contacts, you’re confirmed to be on our waiting list, we’ve seen a big boom in sign ups, and we can’t say when we will invite you and cannot tell you where you are on the waiting list, but but us on Facebook and Twitter for more information!

Who wants to take odds that the MPAA will shut them down before I get invited?

Beef brought this one to my attention - hadn’t had time to post. but it looks OSSIM

No, seriously…this guy is building an AT-AT

I’ve always liked Vin, but now my appreciation for him had grown even more. Thanks for posting. I’m looking forward to C3, I didn’t know it was even something they had ever planned.

A Clash of the Titans sequel? Really? I was not aware that it made enough money to warrant a sequel… :confused:

But it will be useless until they can figure out how to make it turn, that was the major design flaw that made them so hard to animate during the movie. I would rather he make a scout walker.
