There has been quite a buzz in hollywood about who would helm the next film incarnation of the legendary Man of Steel. Zack Snider (300, Watchmen) is officially directing Superman: Man of Steel!

Zack Snyder has been chosen to direct  the new installment ofSuperman for Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures…

…Deadline revealed back on February 9 that the DC Comics stalwart Superman became a priority project when Nolan agreed to godfather it. He and David S. Goyer hatched the story and Goyer wrote the script. The new Superman’s producers also include  Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder while co-financer Legendary Pictures’ Thomas Tull will serve as executive producer. I’m sure there will be hot debate on Snyder as the choice, but judging from 300, you can be sure the Man of Steel will have an inspired six-pack.

My first response to the news was disappointment since Snyder is all about visuals and less about quality scene direction; but knowing that Christopher Nolan and his team are writing the script makes me more hopeful. At least we know it’ll have a good story and visuals. Casting hasn’t been revealed at all yet, but expect the film in 2012.
