First look: Henry Cavill as Superman!

Warner Brothers has unleashed the first official photo from Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman reboot "Man of Steel," and I have to admit, lead actor Henry Cavill looks quite badass as Clark Kent in his costume. Don't you think? See above...

The film will open June 14, 2013, and the cast includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Martha and Jonathan Kent, Michael Shannon as General Zod and Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, leader at the Daily Planet.

Superman must face off against Zod and Faora (Antje Traue). The hero's real parents are also on board, with Russell Crowe portraying daddy Jor-El and Julia Ormond playing Lara Lor-Van. I don't know about you, but I am ready for more images.

Christopher Nolan is mentoring the project he is develping with David Goyer. Nolan also considered Tony Scott, Matt Reeves, Jonathan Liebesman and Duncan Jones, but I guess Snyder impressed him most.

Who will direct the new 'Superman'?

It looks like the return of the Man of Steel is coming closer and closer. Christopher Nolan is developing the film with Warner Bros., and they're looking for a director for the film that marks the superhero's return.

Deadline reports a shortlist of candidates is out, and it includes Tony Scott, Matt Reeves, Jonathan Liebesman, Duncan Jones and Zack Snyder. That really is quit the line-up, right? But Tony Scott?

Personally, I would love to see Duncan Jones do this. He directed "Moon," and I am sure he can bring along an awesome vision. Matt Reeves would be a great choice too, to be honest. But Tony Scott?

'Legend of the Guardians' trailer & pics

Owl power! Zack Snyder's upcoming 3D animation adventure "Legend of the Guardians" (formerly titled "Guardians of Ga'Hoole") now has a trailer, and you can check it out below. Also, USAToday has posted the first official stills from the flick. See above and below.

Coming to theaters Sept. 24, 2010, "Guardians" follows a bunch of barn owls whose kingdom is threatened by evil rogue owls. Thus, they set out to find the legendary owl guardians that can help them gain strength and confron the enemy once and for all.

This first trailer looks visually pleasing, and I bet it will all look even more beautiful in 3D. The story is simple - about an owl looking for the inner hero. Still, it looks like Snyder ("Watchmen") has crafted yet another adventure that will at least be amazing to look at.

The director's cut of Zack Snyder's "Watchmen" will be released on DVD and Blu-ray July 21, 2009, and here is a deleted scene you'll be able to find on the disc.

As you can see in the three-minute clip below, this scene centers on the death of Hollis Mason (Night Owl I), played by Stephen McHattie.
