"This Superman Thing, It's Ridiculous...!"

Michael Shannon made an appearance at the RiverRun International Film Festival in Winston-Salem, North Carolina where he was awarded the Emerging Master Award.

Jeff Nichols ("Shotgun Stories," "Take Shelter") led a Q&A...

Towards the end of the discussion they talked Superman: Man of Steel-the Zack Snyder.-directed reboot in which he is cast to play General Zod . Which was made official on Sunday




Pretty Funny. Shannon talking Terence Stamp--further proof that he knows what he's walking into. I think as many folks will be paying as close attention to Zod in the film as they will Supes this time around.

Henry Cavill Amy Adams Kevin Costner and Diane Lane also star

David S. Goyer is writing the screenplay based on a story he concocted with Christopher Nolan

Charles Roven, Emma Thomas Deborah Snyder, and Nolan will be producers on the film

Production will start in Vancouver in May for release next year.
