I Am Rogue exclusively spoke to actor Richard Schiff about his recently announced casting in Man of Steel. Tons of evasive answers here, but he's already shot some stuff and had plenty to say. Worth a read. Here's a sample:
I've already started shooting. I go back again this weekend and shoot for another couple of weeks and then will go elsewhere. So I've gotten my feet wet and have worked with Amy Adams, Chris Meloni and a few others. I've gotten to know Zack and he is fantastic. That guy is just an upbeat happy guy.

Tom Hiddleston, speaking to Digital Spy (via CBM), talked about The Avengers and said he has yet to see a single frame from the movie.Jonah Nolan spoke to Crave Online and tried to put to rest any discussion of Bane's voice in The Dark Knight Rises:
I gotta tell you, I think what Tom Hardy's doing with the role is spectacular. I have the benefit of seeing a little bit more than the audience has seen at this point. It's pretty spectacular.
I love a good desktop wallpaper and the All Things X-Blog (via CBM) has posted some new ones from the X-Men Anime.
Crave Online spoke to Steve Schklair at 3ality, which made 3D equipment for The Amazing Spider-Man, The Hobbit and more, and said the following about some of the work on Spider-Man:
Most of the requests on Spider-Man came from the director of photography, not Marc Webb. The director of photography dealt with the specific tweaks of 'Well, we want to be able to hold this filter. We want to be able to change these lenses in this amount of time. We want this rig for this and this rig for that. We want to go wireless on steadicam. What can we do?' It's the tools that their crew is going to be using.
Entertainment Weekly spoke to Stan Lee about a bunch of upcoming Marvel projects and calls his cameo in The Avengers is "gonna be great." There's no embed, click above to see the video.
