WB Fast-Tracking MAN OF STEEL 2 With Zack Snyder And David Goyer Returning, Goyer Also Confirmed To Be Writing JUSTICE LEAGUE


Deadline reports that Warner Bros. is very eager to start production on the next Man of Steel film. The studio is officially moving forward with the sequel. Director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer are confirmed for the sequel. Goyer seemingly is undertaking the DCU as he was apart of Nolan's Batman trilogy, a possible Man of Steel trilogy and was finally confirmed for writing the Justice League script for WB. After Will Beall's JL draft was scrapped. It's sounding like the studio is investing some serious cash in locking up Goyer and Snyder for their Superman franchise. Snyder has already hinted to that a Man of Steel sequel would happen before Justice League. Giving a little more weight to the recent talk that MOS 2 would be coming out in 2014 with JL in 2015.

Look … completely hypothetically, I feel like you need to get Superman a little further down the road, I think, before you can do a Justice League movie.

David was recently quoted via CosmicBookNews on the Man of Steel red carpet giving the impression he's involved and the film could rival The Avengers.

They’ve got a little kryptonite pellet embedded in my heart and if I say anything it will explode, but I would be a very rich man for all the times I was asked that question. It all depends on how the [Man of Steel] does. I would love to see a Justice League film, absolutely. Put the Avengers on notice.

MAN OF STEEL Sequel Coming As Early As 2014?


Warner Bros. must be having a collecting sigh of relief as Man of Steel is looking to become one of the biggest Summer blockbusters of the year. Zack Snyder's reboot was pegged as testing-waters for the studio moving forward with Justice League. If successful WB would move forward with Justice League otherwise it would have been scrapped. Man of Steel is likely to be a giant success when the final box office numbers roll in. That being said, there have been hints that a Man of Steel sequel could come before Justice League which may or may not already have a script in place.

Zack Snyder said during interviews he'd like to see a second Man of Steel before Justice League rolls out. Snyder has been linked as a strong candidate to direct Justice League. TheWallStreetJournal is fuelling the fire by stating that the studio is planning on fast tracking the sequel for a possible 2014 release date. No word on a villain but hints to both Brainiac and Lex are sprinkled in Man of Steel. The only problem with this news is that Henry Cavill is attached for the lead role in Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

"Warners is already in development on a sequel to "Man of Steel" and is expected to fast track that for release as soon as 2014, said knowledgeable people close to the studio. In addition, it has long been developing a "Justice League" team-up movie featuring characters such as the Flash and Wonder Woman that could come out as soon as 2015."

Matthew McConaughey Accepts Lead Role In Christopher Nolan's INTERSTELLAR


Actor Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyer's Guide, Mud, Wolf of Wall Street, Magic Mike) had been offered the lead role of Cooper in Christopher Nolan's sci-fi film Interstellar last week. The actor confirmed to StarTribune (via ThePlaylist) that he's accepted the part in the film. Giving us the first confirmed actor in the outer space/warmhole/time-travel picture. Michael Caine had also given a heads up he'd have a role in Nolan's next project but an official announcement hasn't been made yet.

Christopher Nolan Wants Matthew McConaughey To Play The Main Character Cooper In INTERSTELLAR?


Deadline reports that Christopher Nolan is very interested in casting Matthew McConaughey as the lead in his wormhole sci-fi adventure film Interstellar. Matthew would play the main role of Cooper. McConaughey started his carare making well received films like Dazed And Confused and A Time To Kill but started chasing paychecks with horrible romantic comedies. His recent string of films such as Mud, Lincoln Lawyer, Killer Joe and Magic Mike have given him a new life in Hollywood. Matthew ended up earning an Independent Spirit Award for the latter. Apparently, there is already Oscar talk for his AIDS drama Dallas Buyer's Guide. The actor went all Christian Bale and lost a crazy amount of weight to play his character. Matthew will also be seen in Martin Scorsese's Wolf of Wall Street alongside Leonardo DiCaprio later this year, which could have also helped get Nolan's attention. The only other actor linked for Interstellar includes Michael Caine. He already teased a role in the film before it was even announced. We won't have to wait long for the film's release as it's coming on November 7th 2014.

Christopher Nolan Returning To Sci-Fi With INTERSTELLAR


HeatVision is reporting Christopher Nolan's next film will be a full jump into the world of science fiction. We had a taste of sci-fi with Inception using dream-machines and the world of the dream being explored. This original film Interstellar written by his brother Jonathan Nolan will be based on the sciencetific theories of Kip Thorne. It's story involves time travel and alternate dimensions, and sees a group of explorers travel through a wormhole. Interstellar will be made under Nolan's Syncopy banner but will be shared between Paramount and Warner Bros. At one point Steven Spielberg had been interested in the project.


Nothing is being mentioned cast-wise but Michael Caine confirmed last year he was going to have a role in Nolan's next project which would be from an original concept. It's possible that other Nolan regulars will take part in the journey as well. Currently, Nolan is producing Wally Pfister's directorial debut sci-fi thriller Transcendence. A start date for Interstellar isn't revealed either but I'm sure casting will high priority for Nolan soon.
