Official Superman Returns Description
Warner Bros. promises 'a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world's most beloved superheroes.'
Here's how Warner Bros. describes Bryan Singer's Superman Returns which hits theaters and IMAX venues June 30.
"Following a mysterious absence of several years, the Man of Steel comes back to Earth in the epic action-adventure Superman Returns, a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world¹s most beloved superheroes. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman (Brandon Routh) faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth), has moved on with her life. Or has she? Superman¹s bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in a society that has learned to survive without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space."
The film has been rated PG-13 for "some intense action violence." Plus, the film will be the world's first live-action Hollywood feature to be converted from 2D to IMAX 3D, the studio says. About 20 minutes will be in 3D.
