Note: "Superman: Man of Steel" has been using the working title of "Autumn Frost". A working title is the temporary name of a film used during its development. Working titles are used primarily for two reasons - the first being that an official title has not yet been decided upon and the working title is being used as a filler for naming purposes, the second being to intentionally disguise the production of a high profile film. In some cases a working title may ultimately be used as the official title. This "title ruse" is now a very common practice by which these high-profile films or television series are given a fake working title to keep its production a secret, and to prevent price gouging by suppliers, casual theft and undesirable attention. The release title of this film will be "Superman: Man of Steel" or simply "Man of Steel".
The Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Entertainment, and Legendary Pictures feature film "Superman: Man of Steel" will be holding open casting calls in Nanaimo and Ucluelet on Vancouver Island. The film is seeking local people to work as background artists in scenes to be filmed in early October. This is fully paid work. There will be some casting for speaking roles in Vancouver, however this open casting call is for extras only. "Superman: Man of Steel" is currently filming in the Chicago, Illinois area and shooting will move to British Columbia on September 21, 2011. Filming will continue in Vancouver and surrounding areas through January 20, 2012.
Actor Henry Cavill is playing the starring role of Clark Kent/Superman. Cavill is best known for playing Charles Brandon on the Showtime series "The Tudors". He is the first non-American actor to be cast in the role. Three time Academy Award nominee Amy Adams stars as Lois Lane, Academy Award winner Russell Crowe is playing Superman's Kryptonian father Jor-El, two time Academy Award winner Kevin Costner and Academy Award nominee Diane Lane are playing Clark Kent's adoptive parents Jonathan and Martha Kent.
Zack Snyder is directing "Man of Steel" from a screenplay written by David S. Goyer. Snyder's directorial credits include Universal Pictures' "Dawn of the Dead," as well as the the Warner Bros. Pictures feature films "300," "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole," and "Sucker Punch".
Legendary Pictures Chairman and CEO Thomas Tull are executive producers, Lloyd Phillips is co-executive producer. Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas are producing for Syncopy, Charles Roven is producing for Atlas Entertainment, and Deborah Snyder is handling production for Cruel and Unusual Films.

In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as "Superman," not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.

To submit an audition video for consideration, go to the following official ActorCast online casting website for the film:
StepUpCasting.com
ALL ActorCast submissions will be reviewed by the film's casting directors.

Important information about uploading audition videos:
A large number of casting directors and studios are now using Cast It Systems' ActorCast to allow people to upload audition videos for specific projects and roles.
When uploading audition videos, make absolutely sure to follow the directions exactly as stated. If they want it done a specific way, then do not disregard the instructions and do whatever you want. Not following the instructions is a sure way to NOT get a call back. If you can't follow simple directions on how to tape and submit an audition video, then the casting director will assume that you may not be able to take direction well on set during filming. And that is not a good thing. So be very careful and follow the directions exactly as they are explained. Remember that not following directions can cost you the part!
