Man of Steel Trailer "the tiniest tip of the iceberg"


In a recent interview with Total Film, screenwriter David Goyer discusses the movies shroud of secrecy




Trailers, leaked details, rewind theatres, insider comments and speculation haunt up and coming movies and games as often as Jew counts his money, a lot. As soon as a movie is announced there are people searching for more information, or analysing trailers and posters to tell us exactly what the movie will contain scene for scene. Of course, this is again the case for Nolan's latest DC film, Man of Steel, the upcoming Superman origin story, but whatever details are known about the movie there are plenty more that we have no idea of.

Screenwriter David Goyer (Batman Trilogy, Blade Trilogy, Ghost Rider 1 & 2) recently spoke with popular magazine Total Film on the secrecy that has been maintained with his latest movie.

 "It's something Chris (Nolan) tried hard to do with the Batman films. I'm genuinely pleased with how much secrecy we've been able to maintain. There's so much of the movie that people don't know, that hasn't been touched upon. The trailer's just the tiniest, tiniest tip of the iceberg."

With the June release date drawing nearer there are growing concerns that the involvement of Nolan / Snyder and co puts the film at risk of becoming dark and gritty, much in the same way that the Batman films did.

"Relatable and realistic doesn't necessarily mean dark. I think it would be inappropriate for us to approach a Superman film as if we were doing The Dark Knight. The Batman films are a lot more nihilistic; Superman has always been a story about hope."
