I Hate Thinking Too: The Not So New "Man Of Steel" Synopsis
Wed, August 17, 2011 \
The Brothers Warner in partnership with DC Entertainment and Legendary Pictures have thrown out a call to arms aka an open casting call on Vancouver Island. This is an extras only casting call, not speaking roles, in both Naniamo and Ucluelet. Fully paid.
The funny thing is that eleventeen websites are running the synopsis that goes with this casting call as "the official synopsis" as if they've never seen it before. It was posted five months ago on a site called MovieNewz that everybody laughed at because they used a "z" in their title instead of an "s". I'm sure a number of websites covered it back in April, but have erased it from their minds as if they've been kissed by Clark Kent himself.
Interestingly enough, the synopsis they posted back in April turns out to be spot on. Not sure where they got it, maybe Production Weekly, but win one for the little guy I guess. Another interesting tidbit, Snyder actually used the first line you are seeing in this synopsis in the press release put out when Henry Cavill was cast. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
“In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.”

Ya sounds same as one of the plots from a few months ago. Overall its a nice one. But still pretty basic outline. So its bound to change again.
