Russell Crowe: 'Man of Steel is what it would be like to be Superman' Published Wednesday, Jan 16 2013, 5:23am EST | By Hugh Armitage (DIGITAL SPY)

Man of Steel will let us experience "what it must be like to be Superman", Russell Crowe has said.

The Les Misérables star, who will play the superhero's father Jor-El in Warner Bros' film, is keen to see how audiences respond to the upcoming adaptation.

"It's really complicated, it's really complex," he told Reelz.

"I don't think anyone's really tried to get into the psychology of what it must be like to be Superman and what people would really respond like in a modern society if someone like that popped up.

"Zack Snyder who directed Watchmen, who directed 300 and a few other things, he was given a great deal of responsibility. Because when it comes to comic book heroes and superhero films, at the top of the food chain is Superman.

Eddie Redmayne so happy about $100m Miserables

By BAZ BAMIGBOYE

The cast includes Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Samantha Barks and Eddie Redmayne — who has become a big screen heart-throb thanks to his performance.

Redmayne told me recently that the film was tricky, from an actor’s point of view, because of its blend of theatricality and realism.

One particularly troublesome scene involved his lovestruck character, Marius, singing A Heart Full Of Love.
‘In the script, Marius goes: “In my life, she has burst like the music of angels! The light of the sun!!”,’ he told me.

‘It’s so florid and metaphorical — beautiful, but very difficult to make that sound spontaneous.

‘And I remember trying, and it wasn’t working, and Tom said: “For all this grisly realism that we’re doing, this is an old-school, West Side Story, movie musical moment. And in order to make it work, you have to run down the street, swinging from lampposts, singing till your heart’s content.” ’

With that in mind, Redmayne nailed it, and the resulting scene is full of yearning.

Several of the actors playing students at the barricade had come from the stage show and a few had played Marius.

Redmayne asked them how they had handled certain scenes, and one of them said he’d imagined Marius as a bit of a dreamer, who probably wrote poetry.
