A FARM outside Tamworth will serve as the Kents' home in the latest Superman movie. The property, 45km from Tamworth, will become the Kansas family home where young Clark Kent grows up before taking on his Superman identity.
"It's early days yet, but I can say a property in that area is being transformed into the Kent farm for the film," a Warner Bros spokesman said.
"Production isn't due to start on the film for another two months, but the sets have already been built and are awaiting to be erected on the site.
"We chose the Breeza Plains area because of its picturesque location."
Production on the film will be based out of Sydney's Fox Studios, with a number of locations around NSW being used.
Little-known US actor Brandon Routh will don the cloak of the "man of steel" in the latest Hollywood revival of Superman. Big break... Actor Brandon Routh has been cast as Superman in the big-budget film being filmed in NSWhttp://images.news.com.au/thedailytelegraph/2574092_supermannewweb.jpg
The 25-year-old was signed to star in the reincarnation of the superhero, to hit screens in 2006, after an exhaustive search for an actor to fill the role made famous by the late Christopher Reeve.
The Warner Bros movie will be directed by Bryan Singer, who also made the hit comicbook hero X-Men movies.
Sent from the planet Krypton, the superboy is raised in Kansas by Martha and Jonathan Kent who name the boy Clark, taking Martha's maiden name.
Clark grows up and moves to the city of Metropolis, where he becomes a reporter and falls in love with colleague Lois Lane.
Superman Returns will pick up where the first two films left off, with Superman returning to Earth after having been missing for six years.
Reeve, who became an international star with the huge success of the movie, reprised his high-flying role in two hit sequels, Superman II in 1980 and Superman III in 1983.
