Goyer told us that while struggling with the third act of The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan suggested they take a week off to clear their heads. asked Nolan and company to help Superman get made, the truth is, it was during a writing session on The Dark Knight Rises that the idea for Man of Steel was born. Goyer (who is getting sole credit on the screenplay), Christopher Nolan ( The Dark Knight, Inception), Emma Thomas (Nolan's wife and producing partner) and producer Charles Roven ( The Dark Knight, Twelve Monkeys). Directing is Zack Snyder ( Watchmen, Man of Steel), producing is Deborah Snyder (his producing partner and wife), David S. The group of filmmakers bringing Man of Steel to life is an all-star team. He's also not going to be a stalker and he won't have a son. Everyone knows Superman Returns didn't have enough action. We will see Superman kick a lot of ass and get his ass kicked in Man of Steel. Since the filmmakers want to keep a lot of the plot under wraps until closer to release, whenever we'd ask a question they didn't want to answer they'd say, 'I invoke the Nolan clause.' This was said a lot during the interviews. In addition, I also wrote about what we watched being filmed. Like I usually do for set visits, I've complied a list of things to know about the movie. As a lifelong Superman fan, I can tell you that after visiting the set, I'm 100% sure that Man of Steel is going to be something special, and a lot different than any version of Superman you've seen before. While there, I got to visit a number of sets, interview some of the cast and the filmmakers, and observe some filming in the heart of Smallville. The reason I'm up in the air is that I got to spend all day yesterday on the set of director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel (along with some other online journalists). A second later, I'm smiling ear to ear, because I can't believe I'm in Smallville, getting to watch Superman kick some ass.Р”Р„s I type these words, it's Augand I'm flying back to Los Angeles. As I peer a bit further down the road, I can see Superman ( Henry Cavill) fighting for his life against two Kryptonians and I'm not sure if the helicopters are going to help or hurt him. As I turn to see another area of Main Street, two USA military helicopters fly in formation, like they're about to go into battle. Almost every business along main street has been damaged. On another end of the street, a bank vault has been ripped open and the pristine lobby is covered with dirt, glass and broken counter tops. Near one corner, a 7/11 has been destroyed.

Shards of glass and the wreckage of an epic battle cover the sidewalks. Snyder also revealed that the deleted sequence would have featured more of the robot Kelex fighting alongside Jor-El during the battle, while Zod would have had a pack of Kryptonian War Dogs in his corner.The streets are filled with plane debris and overturned cars.

There was a bigger battle that I had designed on the landing platform and we shot some of it but, for budgetary reasons, it got smaller and smaller and then it got to the point where I was just like, РІР‚ВLetРІР‚в„ўs just have the battle inside.'РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљThe destruction of Krypton was crazy and we linearised that because it was like the birth and then all of these flashbacks within flashbacks and the timing of ZodРІР‚в„ўs approach.

РІР‚СљThe first draft actually had more even on Krypton,РІР‚Сњ Zack Snyder commented. The theatrical cut is the cut that Zack wants out there and I think our feeling was the scene that was deleted didnРІР‚в„ўt really work so thatРІР‚в„ўs why itРІР‚в„ўs not in the movie, although what I will say is weРІР‚в„ўre planning some really nice РІР‚вЂњ Zack does love, and because itРІР‚в„ўs about world building and visual effects we have so much amazing art work, and I think weРІР‚в„ўre going to see not only Zack participate in the director walk-ins, but maybe some other special guests joining him this time to elaborate on the filmmaking process.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљSo we only lost one scene in its entirety and it wasnРІР‚в„ўt due to length it was due to that it didnРІР‚в„ўt feel like it fit in with the rest of what we were doing. РІР‚СљWe only cut one entire scene, and we trimmed down scenes.РІР‚Сњ Deborah Snyder told Collider.
