New Man of Steel Trailer: Superman Is a God, a Ghost, and a Guardian Angel

Director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel is already one of the most highly anticipated movies of the Summer, and the latest trailer makes me even more excited for it.

Director Zack Snyder's Man of Steel is already one of the most highly anticipated movies of the Summer, and the latest trailer makes me even more excited for it. The cryptic first preview finds Clark Kent/Superman (Henry Cavill) struggling with his identity and his place in the world, and while this new one is no less existential, it does show a lot more of the supporting cast. We see Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Superman's real father, in the midst of his planet's destruction, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Clark's protective adoptive parents, Michael Shannon in action as villain General Zod, and Amy Adams as intrepid reporter Lois Lane.

Though I was initially skeptical of Adams as Lois, the interaction between her and Superman in the last moments of the trailer is giving me a lot more faith in her casting. I'm also loving the dark but hopeful tone of the movie, which could be a refreshing change of pace from the many other Superman films we've seen before. Man of Steel opens June 14, but until then, watch the new trailer after the jump.

SAG Awards: Diane Lane

Diane Lane's Grecian David Meister gown is the perfect satiny shade of Mediterranean blue, and it offers a nice contrast to the crimson of the SAG Awards red carpet.

Diane Lane's Grecian David Meister gown is the perfect satiny shade of Mediterranean blue, and it offers a nice contrast to the crimson of the SAG Awards red carpet. With the color and styling, the dress could look very formal, even a little austere, but Diane's tried to soften things with a casual ponytail, minimal jewelry, and makeup that looks like it would be just as appropriate for lunch with friends as it is for the red carpet. Do you think all the disparate elements came together nicely? Or should Diane have simply gone full glamazon for this show? Vote on all of our SAG Awards polls here!

The principal cast of Man of Steel, Zack Snyder's new Superman movie, is getting more exciting by the week.

The principal cast of Man of Steel, Zack Snyder's new Superman movie, is getting more exciting by the week. We've known for months that The Tudors star Henry Cavill had nabbed the lead role, with Amy Adams beating out tons of other actresses to play his leading lady, but the rest of the characters are still being cast. With all the rumors running rampant, it can be hard to keep track of who's playing who, so here's a rundown on which actors will bring the beloved comic to the big screen in the newest reboot.

  • British import Henry Cavill will play Clark Kent/Superman. Born Kal-El from the planet Krypton, Superman is an alien who battles evil when he's not disguised as his alter ego, Clark Kent. Clark works as a reporter for The Daily Planet.
  • Amy Adams will play Lois Lane, Clark's love interest and fellow reporter at The Daily Planet.
  • Russell Crowe is in talks to star as Jor-El, Superman's birth father.
  • Kevin Costner will play Jonathan Kent, Superman's adoptive father.
  • Diane Lane is Martha Kent, Superman's adoptive mom and Jonathan's wife.
  • Michael Shannon will square off against Superman as the villainous General Zod, the head of the Krypton military.
  • German actress Antje Traue has been cast as female villain Faora.
  • Julia Ormond is attached to play Lara, Superman's birth mother.
  • Laurence Fishburne will play Perry White, Clark Kent's editor at The Daily Planet.

Drew Barrymore and a pregnant Kate Hudson led the stylish way to a benefit dinner for the Natural Resources Defense Council's Ocean Initiative on Saturday, held at the Malibu home of movie executive Ron Meyer and his wife Kelly. The evening was cohosted by Chanel, which helps explain the high-fashion picks of the guests like Rachel Zoe and Courteney Cox. Drew Barrymore brought along her boyfriend Will Kopelman, and there were other happy duos there, too. Kate Hudson and her fiancé Matthew Bellamy made a fancy entrance following a low-key week of outings to see her son Ryder's athletic events and casual lunch dates. Expecting parents Bryce Dallas Howard and Seth Gabel also made it a date night, as did Seth Gabel and his wife Caroline Fentress, Gabrielle Reece with Laird Hamilton, and Barbra Streisand with James Brolin. Drew and Will led the PDA stakes, though, as is their usual habit. They kissed on their way inside Rob and Kelly's house, with Drew decked out in an outfit from Chanel that she likely picked out during a visit to its Beverly Hills shop last week.

Justin Timberlake Is Well Enough to Toast True Grit With the Coens

Justin Timberlake joined Joel Coen last night for an LA screening of True Grit.

Justin Timberlake joined Joel Coen last night for an LA screening of True Grit. The western film, which hits theaters on Dec. 22, is the latest offering from Joel and his brother Ethan Coen and stars Matt Damon and Josh Brolin, who also hit the reception with his wife, Diane Lane. Matt wasn't able to turn out for the event, however, as he's filming Contagion in Illinois with his very cold costar Gwyneth Paltrow. Justin is making the social rounds during a break from work on his new movie Now, as production was halted after he sustained an injury on set. JT's evidently well enough to continue doing press for The Social Network as the cast courts some love from the Oscars and even take girlfriend Jessica Biel out for a date.
