Mad Men star Christina Hendricks, who provides the voice of Lois Lane
in the highly-anticipated All-Star Superman, will attend the film’s
World Premiere Monday, February 14 at The Paley Center for Media in
New York. Hosted by Warner Home Video and ComicBookResources.com, the
evening will include red carpet interviews and a post-premiere panel
discussion surrounding the first public screening of All-Star
Superman, the exciting 10th entry in the popular, ongoing series of DC
Universe Animated Original Movies.
Following the screening, Hendricks will be joined by noted
comics & screenwriter Dwayne McDuffie and casting/dialogue director
Andrea Romano for a panel discussion.
A limited number of free tickets were initially available for the
general public, but this event is now completely sold out.
On Thursday, February 17, All-Star Superman will also screen at the
Paley Center in Los Angeles (465 North Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills)
with media interviews starting at 5:30 p.m. and screening commencing
at 7:00 p.m. A panel discussion will follow the screening featuring
Desperate Housewives’ James Denton (the voice of Superman), executive
producer Bruce Timm, director Sam Liu, writer Dwayne McDuffie and
dialogue/casting director Andrea Romano. Additional participants,
including voice cast members, will be announced as confirmed.
In All-Star Superman, the Man of Steel rescues an ill-fated mission to
the Sun (sabotaged by Lex Luthor) and, in the process, is
oversaturated by radiation – which accelerates his cell degeneration.
Sensing even he will be unable to cheat death, Superman ventures into
new realms – finally revealing his secret to Lois, confronting Lex
Luthor’s perspective of humanity, and attempting to ensure Earth’s
safety before his own impending end with one final, selfless act.
Based on the Eisner Award-winning DC Comics series/graphic novel of
the same name by Grant Morrison with illustration by Frank Quitely,
All-Star Superman is executive produced by animation guru Bruce Timm
and directed by Sam Liu (Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths) from a
script by acclaimed comics writer Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League:
Crisis on Two Earths).
The celebrity-packed voice cast is headed by James Denton (Desperate
Housewives) as Superman, Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) as Lois Lane,
and Anthony LaPaglia (Without A Trace) as Lex Luthor. The stellar cast
includes seven-time Emmy® Award winner Ed Asner (Up) as Perry White,
Golden Globe® winner Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) as Ma Kent,
Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds) as Jimmy Olsen and Linda
Cardellini (ER) as Nasty.
