A documentary full of new features
Warner Bros. is preparing to premiere a documentary that will touch a lot of people. “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story” has already premiered at Sundance and is counting on Christopher Reeve He was literally propelled to fame thanks to his role as Superman in the film Richard Donner. With this, the maturity of the comic strip was definitively demonstrated and how it constituted a profitable source of feature films, something that is very proven today.
Christopher Reeve played Clark Kent/Superman in four films and played many other roles before becoming quadriplegic following a horse riding accident. From that moment on, his fight became something else and like other famous people like Stephen Hawking, he became an activist. So much so that he continued his appearances on television and in cinema, defending the rights of people with disabilities and giving a unique visibility thanks to his position as a movie star.
“Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story” includes never-before-seen home movies and personal archival footage. This collection of new audiovisual information includes the first-ever filmed and expanded interviews with Reeve’s three children. Of course, there are also interviews with Hollywood actors who were colleagues and friends of Reeve.
The directors are Ian Bonhôte And Peter Ettedgui (“McQueen”). “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story” is produced by Passion Pictures (“Searching For Sugar Man,” “The Territory”) and Misfits Entertainment (“Rising Phoenix”).
The film arrives on the 20th anniversary of the death of what remains for many the best Superman. It is still screening at festivals and is expected to be released later this year. We leave you with an interview with the kids about what it means to make this film.
