Maybe I just assumed this but I totally thought that next year's Man of Steel was being shot in IMAX 3D. Apparently I was not only wrong but there are no plans to post convert Man of Steel* into an IMAX 3D experience either according to Warner Bros.
Personally I call bullshit on this one and I don't care that the source is Warner Bros. There's plenty of time to do a post production 3D IMAX conversion and I highly doubt that Warner Bros. would leave potentially millions of dollars in box office receipts sitting on the table.
In a bit of good news however, Warner Bros. did release a new plot synopsis for Man of Steel:
In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question 'Why am I here?' Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world's beacon of hope - Superman.
That's still a little vague I guess but a lot more than we've had before. Personally I think Henry Cavill** (The Tudors) is an excellent actor and will make for a spectacular Superman. He can't be worse than Brandon Routh.***
Man of Steel opens June 14, 2013
*Sincerely hoping there will be at least a teaser trailer for this movie before The Dark Knight Rises.
**How in the name of God did Cavill get into that suit?! It looks painted on!
***There's a great part at the end of the movie Ted where they make reference to Routh and the awful Superman Returns, that is freakin' hilarious.
