The Coolest Man in the World. He's not just a movie star, not just the emperor of a planet, not just the father of the universe's most powerful being, not just Australian...he's all of those things.
Below we see Russell Crowe, the human bearcat, suited up for the upcoming Superman movie Man of Steel. In the comic book film, he plays Jor-El, the biological father to young Superman (Kal-El at birth). As most know, Jor-El made the difficult decision of sending his only son off into a one-man rocket moments before his planet of Krypton was destined to be destroyed. The infant Kal-El crash-landed onto the planet Earth, where he was raised by the Kents, a Kansas couple who loved him despite his pesky habits of destroying large pieces of architecture and his seemingly unfounded aversion to kryptonite.
Man of Steel will star Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent and Laurence Fishburne as Perry White. The film will be directed by Zack Snyder, and is set for a June 2013 release.

The Great Werner Herzog to Play Villain to Tom Cruise in 'One Shot'
The film adaptation of Lee Child's One Shot, starring Tom Cruise as the mountain-of-a-man Jack Reacher, a perpetually on-the-road rogue agent who sets out to prove his innocence in a violent murder, has gotten itself a villain. And that villain goes by the name of Werner Herzog.
Now, you may be thinking, "Werner Herzog? What in tarnation is so great about Werner Herzog?" Oh, you mean the the man who got shot in the stomach during an interview for Grizzly Man and insisted that he was well enough to keep talking about his awesome movie? Or, are you perhaps referring to the man who pulled Joaquin Phoenix from an overturned car after a crash, potentially saving the man's life? THAT WERNER HERZOG?
Yes. That. Werner. Herzog.
As said, Werner Herzog will be playing the villain in One Shot, to be directed by Christopher McQuarrie. Also cast are Rosamund Pike, Robert Duvall and David Oyelowo.

By Michael Arbeiter , Hollywood.com Staff | Tuesday, October 04, 2011
It's often fun to think what certain movies would have been like if made by other directors. If Shyamalan helmed Avatar, would Pandora have turned out to be Earth all along? If Zemeckis worked on Pulp Fiction, would everyone have gotten out okay? What about if Trey Parker and Matt Stone had a hand in these movies?
Well, THAT we can actually show you. In the spirit of South Park's return to TV tomorrow night, the guys at NextMovie have created very South Parkian designs of some classic movie characters. The movies redesigned include Avatar, Pulp Fiction, Batman Begins, Harry Potter, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Twilight, Star Wars, Tron, The Hunger Games, and, as you can see below, The Big Lebowski. Click the below picture to see the rest of the images over at NextMovie.
South Park's fifteenth season picks up tomorrow night at 10 pm on Comedy Central.
