- MAN OF STEEL
Badtaste.it recently attended the Rome Fiction Festival
where writer/director David S. Goyer was presenting his new series "Da
Vinci's Demons."
David S. Goyer speaks about Man of Steel |
During the Q&A for his new series, the subject turned to
writing Man of Steel and how it compares to his other works and Goyer was happy
to elaborate.
Moderator: You are quite good at writing two kinds of
stories: fantasy completely original stories, with a supernatural aspect, and
also adaptations (especially from comic-books) that you reinvent in an original
way. We know you're working on a new comic-book adaptation, a DC Comics
adaptation. What does this work have in common with you previous works?
David Goyer: Are
we talking about Man of Steel? What Christopher Nolan and I have done with
Superman is trying to bring the same naturalistic approach that we used adopted
for the Batman trilogy. We always had a naturalistic approach, we want out
stories to be rooted in reality, like they could happen in the same world we
live in. It's not that easy with Superman, and actually this doesn't
necessarily mean we will make a dark movie. But working on this reboot we are
thinking about what would happen if a story like this one actually happened.
How would people react to this? What impact would have the presence of Superman
in the real world? What I really like to do is writing "genre"
stories without a cartoonish element. I did the same with Da Vinci's Demons,
and I'll do the same with Man of Steel.
Henry Cavill plays Superman in the June 14, 2013 release.
Amy Adams stars as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Laurence Fishburne as
her editor-in-chief, Perry White. Starring as Clark Kent's adoptive parents,
Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Diane Lane and Kevin Costner.
Squaring off against the superhero are two other surviving
Kryptonians, the villainous General Zod, played by Michael Shannon, and Faora,
Zod's evil partner, played by Antje Traue.
Also from Superman's native Krypton are Lara Lor-Van,
Superman's mother, played by Ayelet Zurer, and Superman's father, Jor-El,
portrayed by Russell Crowe. Rounding out the cast are Harry Lennix as U.S.
military man General Swanwick, as well as Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy.
Are you excited for this new Superman film that would be
grounded in reality? Or do you think that time for comic book films have past?
Do you want to see a comic book film that takes more risks and be more fantastical?
