Snyder’s Superman to film in Vancouver

It was good enough for Smallville, so why not have the bigscreen Superman film in Vancouver Canada as well?

And that is exactly what is happening.

Live For Films says:

Zack Snyder’s Superman: The Man of Steel is heading to Vancouver next Summer.

“[Zack Snyder’s] next feature’s coming here,” said Peter Leitch, chair of the Motion Picture Production Industry Association of BC and president of North Shore Studios and Mammoth Studios.

They still don’t have the Big Blue Boyscout cast yet, but I hope people don’t chalk up the filming location to think that Tom Welling has a shot at this. Welling has been living in Vancouver for the past decade, but this is not a Smallville movie.

Vancouver has been a staple of the Hollywood outsourcing for years, and is rapidly taking the “Hollywood North” moniker away from Toronto.

I am sure Superman will do fine there. The parts that are in Metropolis anyways. For foreign deserts Alberta has the Badlands. For Mountains we have the better looking part of the Rockies, and Saskatchewan has the farms and small towns for Smallville.

You would think that someone involved in inventing Superman was originally Canadian.

Burton’s Failed Superman Lives Test Footage Online

Just as I use the Star Wars Holiday Special to put into perspective about how the Star Wars Prequels are not as bad as they could have been, I now have ammunition to put Superman Returns in perspective.

One of the many failed starts to a Superman film was once in the hands of Tim Burton, and while I do enjoy a number of his films I don’t know how I could see this and think it was cool. Steven Johnson, the Special Effects creator posted some test footage of one of the Superman costumes for Burton’s “Superman Lives” version.

Now before we jump to any conclusions, this could have been a Kryptonian suit of some sort, and not the real costume, but it seems people are reporting this as the actual costume intended to be used for Superman in the film. If he simply wore this outfit while hanging out in the Fortress of Solitude, or if it was the uniform of the House of El’s security forces or something, that could still work even though it looks silly.

Looks like there were a few reasons Burton’s version never flew.
