As Man of Steel shoots in Plano, Illinois, this video news report covers the reactions from local residents about such a massive production taking place in their town.

By ANDY SCHEIN. Shooting in Plano, Illinois (Aug. 9, 2011). Kevin Costner, Henry Cavill and Diane Lane (as the Kents) shoot a scene for upcoming "Superman: Man of Steel" movie directed by Zack Snyder. The actors get out of a car as extras run past them.

Warner Home Video has released updated images of the cover artwork for "Smallville: The Final Season" DVD box set, including an image of the back cover, which confirms all the bonus extras included in this November 29, 2011 release.

Cleveland was the original Metropolis. Literally. When Clevelanders Jerry Siegel (who came up with the idea for Superman) and Joe Shuster (who drew him) introduced Superman, the world's first superhero walked the streets of their hometown, not the more auspicious-sounding fictitious city he lived in later. 

More than 70 years have passed since Jerry Siegel hatched the idea for Superman in this house on Kimberley Avenue, and his creation has long had a life of its own, one far removed from its humble beginnings in a Jewish neighborhood of Cleveland. No one casually driving through Glenville would ever associate it with the Man Of Steel, but long before 10622 Kimberley Ave. was an actual, city-recognized landmark, it was a place Superman fans would visit to pay homage.

Warner Bros. this morning released the inaugural image of Henry Cavill as Superman in what seems to be quite an adrenaline-surging action scene (though since production hasn't yet begun on the Zack Snyder superhero flick, we're guessing this was just a painstakingly staged photo op for our benefit). Though for all the trouble they went to, they could've done with a tad better (if, albeit, slightly less dramatic) lighting scheme—while the red cape, signature "S" across the chest and well-filled-out (and oddly shiny) blue suit are all accounted for, it's hard to tell if he's also wearing the classic red trunks, or if WB changed up the color scheme. But seeing as what happened the last time costume liberties were taken (yeah, we're looking at you, Wonder Woman), we're gonna give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. The movie is due out June 14, 2013.

Oh yeah..his hair looks off as well..

What it was like putting on the suit?

“It’s extremely cool. There’s no other feeling like it. They just put it on, I turned around and look in the mirror and you can’t really play it cool – you sort of guffaw and laugh. I thought ‘OK, holy hell, this is real, it’s not a joke anymore. This is it…you’re doing it, you’re right in the middle of it.’”

Preparing his body for the role?

“I’m on 5000 calories a day… You’ve got to eat protein first, then a little bit of carbs…you’ve gotta keep your hunger levels going. I’m training two and a half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.”

Would he ever consider being James Bond again?

"That would be absolutely amazing. If they approached me on that I’d leap at the opportunity to do it. But that’s of course well away for the time being…”

Man Of Steel, starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Julia Ormond, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne with Christopher Meloni and Harry Lennix, the reboot is slated for theaters Mid-December 2013!
