The deleted 5-minute long “Return to Krypton” sequence from “Superman Returns” is now available for viewing on-line.
The scene was intended to open the 2006 film and features in great detail Superman’s (Brandon Routh) journey to the remains of his home world and his eventual return to Earth that sets the events of the film in motion.

TribLocal.com had posted an article online which told the story of Ahmed Helmy, a 16 year old student working at the local iHop in Aurora, Illinois, who not only got to be an extra in a scene being filmed on location, but also got to be in a scene featuring Amy Adams.
While the article has now been removed, CosmicBookNews.com managed to read it before it was pulled down…
- “Well I was surprised that it was kinda’ tiring waiting around so much outside the restaurant while they got the scene just perfect, but once we started filming it was cool,” said Helmy.
So what was his role (and most likely why the article was taken down)? Helmy goes on, informing that Amy Adams was present as Lois Lane.
“I think I’ll be in the film because I walk past her table a couple of times; I’m in the background,” he said.
While MyWebTimes.com reports that volunteers from the Ottawa River Rescue Squad were on hand to give support to filmmakers for the crash scene being shot at Fox River.
- Rescue Squad Capt. Ray Sibert told The Times Friday he and other members were asked by movie production personnel, now filming the next Superman movie, to provide security on the Fox River while crews filmed an accident scene on the U.S. 52 bridge east of Serena Wednesday and Thursday.
“We were there to keep boaters and any other people off the water and away from the bridge,” said Sibert. “We had three of our squad’s boats up there with 10 volunteers on Wednesday and 11 of us on Thursday.”

ChicagoBusiness.com reports that downtown Chicago will be the location of eleven days of filming for the “Man of Steel” film from August 7-17.
- Specific locations in Chicago still are unknown – no permit requests have been filed yet – but the city has been advised that shooting of exterior scenes in and around the Loop will take place from Aug. 7 to Aug. 17, weather permitting. “The dates have shored up,” said Chicago Film Office Director Richard Moskal.
That’s fewer days than hoped for by the supporting cast of Chicago film industry officials, unions and vendors eager to play a role as the big-budget picture rolls into town. But there had been concern that computer graphics or Canadian locales might steal even more scenes from Chicago’s role as Metropolis.
“It turns out their needs for Metropolis exteriors have whittled down,” Mr. Moskal said. While Warner Bros. is “still tweaking many creative aspects, it seems there was far more digital work and perhaps less of a need for practical on-the-scene filming.”
