Walmart Wants You To See "Man Of Steel" Early

Walmart has become the first retailer to sell tickets to an advance screening of a studio film--Zack Snyder's big budget reboot "Man Of Steel" says Variety.


The retail giant will offer nearly a million tickets to consumers at 3,700 stores nationwide beginning May 18th at 8am.

The tickets will be for 6,372 exclusive screenings at 2,379 theaters scheduled on June 13th, the day before the film's official release on June 14th.

Consumers will be able to purchase up to four tickets for either 2D or 3D showings in their area. Advance tickets won't be made available through more traditional outlets until a few days later.

The ticket price will also include a free code to pre-order a Blu-ray combo pack or HD digital download of the film containing exclusive film content.

MOS stars Henry Cavill Amy Adams Michael Shannon Kevin Costner Diane Lane Antje Traue Christopher Meloni Harry Lennix Laurence Fishburne Russell Crowe and Ayelet Zurer. Bradley Cooper was said to be in talks to make a cameo appearance as Lex Luthor as a set-up for sequels. But that's not been confirmed. In fact, the folks at AICN now claim that Mackenzie Gray who played a Luthor clone during the final season of ‘Smallville’ will play "an ambitious, ego driven and cold version of Luthor." Emmy-winning actor Richard Schiff will play Dr. Hamilton. Cooper Timberline and Dylan Sprayberry both play young Clark Kent at various ages in the film. Jadin Gould is a young Lana Lang.

David S. Goyer wrote the first screenplay draft based on a story he concocted with Christopher Nolan. His bro Jonah Nolan taking a crack at the task as well Kurt Johnstad did rewrites

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