Allison Crowe's Synchronous Orbit with "Man of Steel"

Allison Crowe returns to Canada from the World Premiere screening of "Man of Steel" in New York City. Alongside the thrills of walking the red carpet at NYC's Lincoln Center, the musician is proud and humbled to have a cameo in the artistic and commercial hit cinematic reframing of the Superman myth.

Frank Zappa famously commented: "It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice. There are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia." On this, the 75th anniversary of the birth of Clark Kent / Superman, MoS film-makers - which includes Hollywood auteur Zack Snyder and writers David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan - have soared past the potential of "Death by Nostalgia" by delivering into today's world the most super of all comic book heroes - portrayed by island of Jersey-born Henry Cavill. Helming the film's music is maestro Hans Zimmer.

Allison Crowe appears in the film very much as she does in concert - a troubadour of fiery spirit and true passion. Her cameo, performing the iconic Johnny Cash tune, "Ring of Fire", is result of a day of filming at the Cassidy Inn - an historic miners-to-bikers bar located on Vancouver Island, just about ten minutes drive south of where Crowe's born.

A relationship begun in 2008, between the bi-coastal artist, who is at home in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, and her birthplace, Nanaimo, British Columbia, and the dynamic movie duo of Director Zack Snyder and Producer Debbie Snyder, is cherished by the independent Canuck.

Celebrating the experience of "Man of Steel", released this month by Warner Bros. studio and its partners, Allison Crowe's own label, Rubenesque Records Ltd., has compiled "Songbook" - an oeuvre-spanning, 22 track, collection representing each album+ release from Crowe's dozen+ years of recording as one of the great singer-songwriters, interpreters and live performers in popular music.

Musical wonder-woman Allison Crowe makes her Hollywood screen debut this Summer in "Man of Steel" - opening Friday, June 14, 2013.

(To help preserve the great thrills and surprises in store for audiences 'round the world, Allison Crowe will make no revelations about her role, nor about anything that happens, in the movie until after its release.)

Allison Crowe - you will find her... in "Man of Steel" this Summer

"The experience of filming on 'Man of Steel' was one of the most fulfilling and INSANELY exciting (seriously) experiences I've ever had - if not THE most! I can't say much about it - and that's part of the fun. My lips are sealed," says Crowe in a transmission received from a fog-shrouded island off Canada's Atlantic coast.

"What I can say is - I was so excited I couldn't sleep the night before, and that I am so incredibly humbled and overwhelmed and grateful to be a part of all of this - and it couldn't have been with a lovelier group of people."

Crowe, an wholly singular artist, expresses her profound gratitude to Director Zack Snyder and Producer Deborah Snyder, Producer Chuck Roven, their partners and team, everyone involved with Third Act Productions and Warner Bros., Legendary Pictures, Syncopy ~ and more folks to be named and thanked at an appropriate time.

Signing off, from an unidentified location in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, she says: "Everyone was so amazing and down to earth on set that I had the pleasure of meeting - absolutely everybody involved - and I will never, ever forget it. Honestly, I can think back to it now AND STILL FREAK OUT, in the best way ever."

This epic action adventure, a tale of hope and heroism, brings to the big screen the greatest super-hero of them all. Directed by Zack Snyder, the film stars Henry Cavill (Clark Kent / Superman), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Michael Shannon (General Zod), Kevin Costner (Pa Kent), Diane Lane (Ma Kent), Laurence Fishburne (Perry White), Russell Crowe (Jor-El), and many more in a stellar cast - both revealed and still secret. The story is by David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan, with music by Hans Zimmer - and an awesome array of talents in every area of the production.

Allison Crowe flies soon to New York City for the red-carpet Premiere of "Man of Steel" believing the fate of our planet is in good hands.
