  • This just in reports that a devastating fire within Warner Bros. Studios has destroyed thousands of reels of movie footage, including reels from the up-coming Superman movie "Man of Steel".
    In the early hours of this morning a three alarm fire broke out on the backlot of Warner Bros. Studios. The fire started when a worker using an acetylene torch for welding accidentally let it catch fire with the surroundings. The Los Angeles County Fire Department had reported that the Film Vault had burned down, destroying thousands of film reels containing footage from projects in post-production including films such as "Beautiful Creatures", "Jack the Giant Killer", and "Man of Steel". Over 116 fire-fighters from various local fire departments, as well as two helicopters dropping water, had responded to the fire. Four fire-fighters sustained minor injuries.
    What this means for "Man of Steel" at this point in time is unknown. Speculation from those inside Warner Bros. is that the movie will be pushed back to 2015 to allow for re-shoots to take place, while others are claiming the project will be scrapped completely.

  • @ghostman -- Hey, @SherlockHolmes2009 helped confirm it. That was pretty darn good, if you ask me. I actually forgot it was April 1st, ha. Where did you get it?

    Nope, I haven't seen any good ones today besides yours. I saw another one in a thread, but it wasn't very good. A very boring April Fool's Day, if you ask me.

  • @ghostman -- Really? Ha, that's neat. Well, that would have been something else if that really happened. Picture how many devastated people/fans worldwide there would've been.

  • @jayaottley Dammit Ottley I told you not to say anything about it even if it was an April Fool's joke (which I have a hard time believing since you've seen the movie already) you better not be telling the truth by lying about it!

  • @jayaottley -- That would be freakin' silly! It doesn't sound like Christoper Nolan at all, so I think we can dismiss that rumor/prank.

    @Supperman -- Ah. Well, I don't think there's going to be any left once he has a bite. Otherwise, that will work!

    Haha its a brilliant one, i love it, but its fake same as the one about James Cameron apparently wanting to direct Prometheus 2.

    They described the scene as legendary and an exact replica and homage to the Batman the animated series with the thunder sequence

  • @XxNickTheFilmCriticXx I know but while you think its Batman in the shadows, its apparently actually someone else, in which its NightWing
