Words from Warner Bros this morning is that the production for the upcoming Warner Bros and DC Comics Superman reboot, Man of Steel has been pushed back. With such move, it was announced that the new Superman movie will not hitting the silver screen in time for the previously scheduled December 2012. Instead, the release date has been pushed back six months until June 14, 2013. That means another hefty wait for the project under Zack Snyder's direction. Read more after the jump.
While Warner Bros' announcement comes without full details of why, Screen Rant and me myself think that the whole idea behind the move was largely due to the nature of the current offering plates of movie that will be released on the same month. Speculation at the moment is that December 2012 is just too packed full of major features, including The Lone Ranger, Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, and most importantly, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Another theory is probably due to the unfinished or unpolished script that may need more time to go through.
After all, the movie is written by David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan; starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Russell Crowe, Julia Ormond, Christopher Meloni and Harry Lennix. Christopher Nolan produces.
