So he went over to some guy's house in Pasadena and was asked to roll around on the floor with "Superman" while someone videotaped him? And there was heavy machinery nearby that no one could turn off? General Zod...show us on the doll where Superman touched you.
First of all,you wanna know who the next deniro is or pacino,or hoffman.go watch SHOTGUN STORIES,TAKE SHELTER,REVELUTIONARY ROAD,THE ICEMAN.you rent those movies then you will see that this is an absolutely brilliant actor.he will win several academy awards.im telling you that now.hes amazing
Anybody who has seen him in "Boardwalk Empire" or "Before The Devil Knows You're Dead" knows that if any actor can match Terence Stamp's terrific performance as General Zod then it is Shannon. I can't wait for "Man Of Steel" & Shannon is a big reason for that.
"I would find it perfectly adequate if you could go ahead and kneel before zod" - Jeremy Jahns imitation of Michael Shannon in his "Man of Steel trailer 2 review"
LMFAO!!! I was absolutely dumbfounded watching how insanely different he really sounds with slack jawed amazement! Sounds like some little dude from Brooklyn.
Damn... Zod BETTER NOT talk with that accent in the movie! I prefer the British-accent-Zod. Even so, I'm willing to see what Michael Shannon is made of. Let's see if he can match, or outclass, Terrence Stamp and Callum Blue.
This guy is the definition of underrated. Maybe that's not the right word, underexposed? How he isn't seeing the same kind of explosive hype as other modern actors, I have no idea.
I love the way the interview asks him, "have you even *seen* the original Superman?", as though Michael Shannon has been under a rock for the last 50 years & has just now decided to crawl out, & is "frightened & confused" by the "tiny people in the magic box".
I dont like the new superman, I will miss Brandon but for this guy I will se the new superman movie , we will see :) and Boardwalk Empire season premiere sunday september 25 :P
He's going to be the perfect Zod. I hope he has his own costume like Superman but purple or something, with a "Z" on it, he's going to be running around helping people like Superman, yet more evil and making people KNEEL BEFORE HIM. Then Superman has to come along and get enough balls to kick his ass and save the planet from Zod.
Great actor. Nelson Van alden is a very complicated character and he did it perfect. im talking about "Bpardwalk Empire" ofcourse... great choice for zod. Christopher Nolan, Zack snyder, David s Goyer, Emma Thomas and Micheal shannon in one movie- that must be great.
