Superman turns the big 7-5 today, and we’re happy to confirm that the boy in blue looks better than ever! The extended Man Of Steel trailer hit the web earlier this week, and it’s safe to say Henry Cavill‘s take on the classic hero will soon wash the bad taste of Superman Returns out of our mouths for good. Along with mind-blowing action scenes, the full trailer also gives us our first look at the playful relationship between Superman and Lois Lane (Amy Adams) — and who doesn’t love that?

Man of Steel isn’t due out in theaters until the summer of 2013, but thanks to the first full-length trailer of Zack Snyder‘s new movie, we have a feeling it’ll be worth the wait. Not only are we given many new and exciting views of Henry Cavill in full Superman garb — there’s a particularly excellent shot of him emerging from a burning room that we’ve got on repeat — but it also provides a first glimpse at many of the faces we’ve been dying to see.

Here’s a quick breakdown of some of the best/newest stuff revealed in the trailer:

0:50 — Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent

1:47 — Russell Crowe as Jor-El

1:48 — That “burning room” scene I mentioned earlier

1:52 — Michael Shannon as General Zod

2:00 — Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy

2:11 — Amy Adams as Lois Lane

Needless to say, Man of Steel looks like a major improvement on the Superman franchise’s previous effort, 2006′s Superman Returns. While Brandon Routh certainly looked the part, we have a feeling audiences — and critics — are immediately going to warm up to British-born Henry’s turn as the blue blur.

Watch the Man of Steel trailer in all its glory below, then drop a comment: Will you be first in line to check it out this summer?

Superman may be more powerful than a locomotive, but in this brand-new poster for The Man of Steel, we see Henry Cavill in a far more vulnerable state. Why (and how) is the boy in blue also in handcuffs? That’s a good question; unfortunately, we might have to wait until the movie’s June 14 release.

Man Of Steel also stars Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Russell Crowe as Jor-El and Michael Shannon as General Zod.

After much talk and speculation, Kristen confirms her role in ‘Snow White’ in a new interview!

Kristen Stewart has finally revealed some of her plans following Breaking Dawn, and it looks like she will be appearing in Snow White and the Huntsman! In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kristen was asked about rumors she would be playing the fair-skinned fairytale character and said she was “almost positive” she would be taking the part!

As for rumors she was up for the role of Lois Lane in the new Superman, her Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon seem to confirm these — and say she turned down the role! Bill tells the mag, “I heard this great story about [Kristen] that I think sums it up. She was pitched a female role in a comic-book super-hero movie that’s about to get started — I won’t say which one — and she was like, ‘Well, screw that. I shouldn’t be the superhero’s girlfriend, I should be the superhero.’” Good for her!

If it is indeed the role of Lois, and it sounds like it, the producers were lucky enough to snag another hugely talented actress — Amy Adams!

So HollywoodLifers, which role would you rather see Kristen play — Snow White or Lois Lane?

Smallville‘s Clark Kent, played by Tom Welling, is about to take his next leap towards his ultimate destiny as Superman. According to HollywoodLife.com‘s sister site TVLine.com, in the upcoming April 22 episode of the CW him, Clark steps into a phone booth as a mild-mannered reporter and quickly emerges as The Blur — his  crime-fighting superhero identity before he becomes known as Superman.

In this new episode, titled “Booster,” we are also introduced to Booster Gold and Blue Beetle.

Lois also grows more weary of Clark’s day-to-day persona. She pushes Clark to identify more and more with his guise as a reporter  – so that he will be less likely to be associated with The Blur.

Amy will be enchanting moviegoers as the classic comic heroine!

Amy Adams is set to play leading lady Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman film, director Zack Snyder tells the Los Angeles Times.

Many actresses auditioned, but Zack says Amy, 36, was the “perfect fit” for the role. She represents the “strong, professional woman who can hold her own against any man — even if he can leap tall buildings in a single bound,” he said.

No word yet on when filming will start, or even what the title will be. But we do know that Henry Cavill will star as Clark Kent, and Kevin Costner and Diane Lane will play Clark’s parents.

This news comes on the heels of another major comic book casting, as Anne Hathaway was recently selected to play Catwoman in the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt still know how to keep their relationship fresh and, while they’re at it, make their kids more independent. The mother of six (in order, there’s Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 4 and twins Knox and Vivienne, 2) talked to London’s Daily Mail and explained that, when kids see how strong their parents’ relationship is, they will naturally be happier children. “You have to make time when you are not Mom and Dad once in a while,” said the 35-year-old star of the upcoming thriller, The Tourist, with Johnny Depp. “The most important thing is that you love your children, but you also have to stay focused on each other so that you stay strong. And you staying strong as a couple keeps the kids in an even better place.”

Angelina also touched on the much-discussed tomboyish ways of her oldest biological daughter, Shiloh. Needless to say, Angelina isn’t terribly concerned about it. “I don’t think it’s for the world to interpret anything,” she says. “She likes to dress like a boy and wants her hair cut like a boy and she wanted to be called ‘John’ for a while. Some kids wear capes and want to be Superman and she wants to be like her brothers. It’s who she is. It’s been a surprise to us and it’s really interesting, but she’s so much more than that – she’s funny and sweet and pretty. But she does love a tie …” Awww!

Though, in another interview to promote her new movie, Angelina mentioned that son Knox is very much like dad Brad, while Maddox and Shiloh “are both a little bit like me.” Does that mean Angelina likes to wear ties, too?
