A relative unknown, British actor Henry Cavill [The Tudors, Stardust], has been cast to play Superman/Clark Kent in Zack Snyder’s upcoming take on the archetypal Big Blue Boy Scout of superheroes.
Snyder is quoted as saying, ‘In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen.’ He also noted that Mr. Cavill was ‘the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.’
Warner Brothers has scheduled the Snyder Superman movie for a December, 2012 release. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer [Batman Begins], based on a story by Goyer and Christopher Nolan [Inception]

A man crawls from his overturned car, burning his hand on its muffler, which is now close by the window through which he has exited. The scene is chaos – the streets are filled with crashed vehicles; dazed and injured people are in shock. This is the opening of Flash Forward [ABC, Thursdays, 8/7C], one of two series the network hopes will be big for them [the other is ‘V’ which we’ll address in November].
The man who has crawled out of his vehicle is FBI Special Agent Mark Benford [Joseph Fiennes], who, with his partner, Demetri Noh [John Cho], had been tailing a group of terrorists prior to blacking out. Before long, we find out that apparently everyone in the world blacked out at the exact same time – and regained consciousness exactly two minutes and seventeen seconds later.
