SUPERMAN RETURNS WEBSITE HACKED

SUPERMAN RETURNS
Let me start this entry by letting you know that this is not a movie review - just a small piece of information that I would like to share. Since the beginning of may I had been slightly perturbed by the lack of marketing for Superman Returns. Speculations began to float around about the quality of the movie. A few of us assumed that WB had this huge dud on their hands and they didnt want to waste any more money marketing a sure flop. And then came a sudden influx of trailers, photos on pepsi bottles, unwanted critisicm by the media, crowds lining up in front of theatres a week before release,etc etc and a wave of relief hit me. Nowhere close to the publicity campaign conducted by The Da Vinci Code but enough to create a hype nonetheless. There is some life left in this franchise after all.

Anyway back to the issue at hand - Thanks to an interview with Kevin Spacey (who plays Superman's arch nemesis Lex Luthor in the new movie) on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno I learnt that he used to torture superman (or in other words, the newcomer Brandon Routh) by stooping to irritating antics. It seems that he drove a suped-up anti-superman golf cart around the set while yelling superman must die all the while. His antics, not surprisingly has found its way onto the information superhighway. You would soon realize what Superman/Brandon Routh had to put up with once you take a look at what Lex Luthor did to the new Superman Returns site.

P.S - Superman Returns is also releasing in Imax Theatres worldwide, certain segments of the movie being presented in 3D. - {BATMAN^V^EXILED}
