Superman Returns Movie Updates

The latest round of Superman Returns updates includes the official announcement has Grauman’s Chinese theater in Hollywood will host the film’s premiere on June 22.

Actor Frank Langella, who plays Perry White, participated in a chat at The Envelope and had good things to say about “Returns”:

Frank Langella: Superman Returns. I went from the last shot in GNGL at 9 or 10 PM at night, then I jumped out of the car and jumped into a waiting car, changed, hugged GC and raced to airport and JUST got on the plane in time to go to Aus, 24 hours later, I was standing on the set of Superman.



Athony: oh WOW



Andy: ha ha



Frank Langella: I landed in Sydney and dropped my suitcases, went straight to the set for costume fitting, it was wonderful and , but stressful.



Carlos Solis: That’s a pretty exciting schedule.



Athony: What was it like to work with Kate Bosworth? And does Brandon Routh have what it takes to be the Man of Steel?



Frank Langella: I found the kids in Superman to be a wonderful unspoiled bunch of talented young actors



Frank Langella: They started out by calling me “Mr. Langella,” then by end of first week we were all friends.



Frank Langella: 3.5 months of shooting



Athony: Haha, thats so cool!



AndreaWeaver: wow!



AndreaWeaver: that’s a long shooting schedule



Blue eyed baby: do you think that people will be comparing Brandon to former Supermen like Christopher Reeve?



Athony: its inevitable



Frank Langella: Bryan Singer is like a child in a candy store. He would often take me around to other sets for the film and show me the toys, gadgets, many miniaturized sets. He adores that world and it was fun to be a part of it, be in a film like that.



Frank Langella: It was like recess at school.



Tom O’Neil: Do you feel that films like “Superman” get gypped at awards? That they don’t get taken seriously as great movies when, in fact, they are?



Blue eyed baby: I don’t think sci-fi and fantasy films get enough credit, sometimes.
