Warner Bros Sets Diane Lane For Superman's Adopted Mother, Martha Kent
BURBANK, CA, March 2, 2011 – Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary
Pictures announced today that Oscar®-nominated actress Diane Lane will
play Martha Kent, the only mother Clark Kent has ever known, in the new
Superman movie to be directed by Zack Snyder.
Snyder stated, “This was a very important piece of casting for me
because Martha Kent is the woman whose values helped shape the man we
know as Superman. We are thrilled to have Diane in the role because she
can convey the wisdom and the wonder of a woman whose son has powers
beyond her imagination.”
Lane will star with Henry Cavill, who was recently announced as the new Clark Kent/Superman.
Lane earned an Academy Award® nomination for her performance in the 2002
drama “Unfaithful.” She most recently starred in the family hit
“Secretariat.” She next stars in the HBO feature “Cinema Verite,”
opposite Tim Robbins and James Gandolfini. Lane’s long list of film
credits also includes “Nights in Rodanthe,” “Hollywoodland,” “Must Love
Dogs,” “Under the Tuscan Sun,” “Perfect Storm,” “My Dog Skip,”
“Chaplin,” “The Cotton Club” and “A Little Romance,” to name only a
portion.
Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder are the
producers of the film. The screenplay is being written by David S.
Goyer based on a story by Goyer and Nolan. Thomas Tull and Lloyd
Phillips are serving as executive producers.
Slated for release in December 2012, the new Superman movie will be
distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros.
Entertainment Company.
