He sought advice from the maker of the first Superman movie, Richard Donner, starring Christopher Reeve. Scroll below for more.
Paul came into the limelight after appearing on the television soap opera The Young and the Restless. He gained recognition for his work in movies, including She’s All That and Varsity Blues.

The presence of Marvel, Star Wars, and just about every superhero and sci-fi franchise has gotten ridiculously oversaturated in recent years. No longer does the audience need to wait for a project every 5 to 7 years – the novelty has long since worn off. Francis Ford Coppola, one of the last few representatives of New Age Hollywood and its radically original movies, knows as much.

In the hyper-streaming era of superhero projects where the spell between any two superhero projects is measured by criticism and mass outrage, studios like Lucasfilm and Marvel keep their head down while scraping away at the same old time-tested formula of concepts that work on the screen.
There remains no room for invention or a sense of adventure since veering too far from the source can offend the loyalists and staying too close to the...

When Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel begins on Krypton, fans got to see Russell Crowe flying around the planet on a bio-organic vehicle. He played the genius scientist Jor-El of Krypton and was so impressed with the character that he wanted to work on a prequel. While he was slain by General Zod in the film, Crowe felt that the build-up to the political tension in Krypton would have made for a great story.

Crowe also wanted Michael Shannon back as General Zod for this story. However, it eventually never took off and Crowe’s role was done after the 2013 film. Looking back, Snyder could’ve done more with Jor-El’s backstory and further explored the alien setup he had built for Krypton.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No — it's the first trailer for Sundance Film Festival favourite Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story flying right at us. From McQueen directorial duo Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, Super/Man is set to chronicle the extraordinary story of on- and off-screen hero Christopher Reeve, the man who brought the to-this-day definitive take on DC's Man of Steel to our screens across four films between 1978 and 1987, and the man whose activism for spinal cord injury sufferers following a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 redefined his heroism anew. Check out the emotional new look at the film below:
Hoo boy — if we're this dewy-eyed after a three-minute trailer, what hope do we stand of making it through the entire documentary in one piece? From those nostalgic opening shots of Reeve in full red-and-blue regalia in Richard Donner's 1978 Superman, to the Son of Krypton...

Before we get yet another Superman film next summer, this fall brings a documentary that examines the man who made him famous on cinema screens. Premiering at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year’s Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story tells the story of the actor and activist. Picked up by DC Studios, it’ll now arrive in theaters for two nights only on September 21 and 25. Ahead of the theatrical showings the first trailer has arrived.
Dan Mecca said in his review, “Directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story recounts and examines the incredibly compelling, tragic, redemptive story of actor and activist Christopher Reeve. He was made famous playing the superhero Superman in Richard Donner/Richard Lester/Sidney J. Furie’s quartet of films in the ’70s and ’80s. In 1995, Reeve was paralyzed from the neck down after being thrown from a horse during a competition.

He was Superman to the world after donning the cape and tights in Richard Donner’s 1978 classic superhero film. However, actor Christopher Reeve would prove that the role wasn’t what made him a hero in real life after he showcased courage not only to continue to live his life to the fullest after a fateful horse riding accident would leave him severely paralyzed, but he would raise money and awareness for a community of individuals who would find themselves in the same unfortunate circumstance. The amazing true story behind his journey is now being told in the documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story.
Warner Bros. has now released the trailer for the documentary. Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story will be presented by Warner Bros. Pictures and Fathom Events in select theaters September 21, followed by an Encore Presentation on Christopher Reeve’s Birthday, September 25.

While Marvel Studios was able to get Og Spider-Man director Sam Raimi to return to superhero movies with the official MCU entry Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it would not be as easy a task for any studio to convince Tim Burton to return to that world. While directors like Richard Donner found great success in the past by adapting Superman for the big screen, Burton’s 1989 film Batman would define the modern comic book film by writing a new blueprint for stylized visuals in superhero movies. Michael Keaton recently gave Burton that trailblazing recognition when he said, “Tim deserves enormous credit. He changed everything. I can’t necessarily say this, but there’s a strong possibility there is no Marvel Universe, there is no DC Universe, without Tim Burton. He was doubted and questioned.”

Kim Kahana, the stunt performer, teacher, coordinator and war hero who played Chongo on the kids show Danger Island and doubled for Charles Bronson in several action films, has died. He was 94.
Kahana died Monday of natural causes at his home in Groveland, Florida, his wife, Sandy Kahana, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Kahana, 5-foot-7 and 150 pounds, taught stunts to many thousands of students since the mid-1970s in six-week courses that took place in Chatsworth, California, and Central Florida. Many went on to have thriving careers in show business.
He also had six different black belt degrees — he taught martial arts, too — and worked as a professional bodyguard protecting Hollywood types.
A native of Hawaii, Kahana appeared in his first film as a biker in the Marlon Brando-starring The Wild One (1953) and was an extra in other movies before he realized that stunt performers got paid more than he did.

Sci-fi legend Jack Arnold directed a majority of "Gilligan's Island," with plenty of prolific names like John Rich, Leslie Goodwins, and even "Superman" director Richard Donner all steering multiple episodes.
The origin of "Gilligan's Island" is a fascinating story already, with creator Sherwood Schwartz allegedly singing the theme song to a gas station attendant to see if the show sounded like something the average person would watch, but just as interesting is how groundbreaking the show was behind the camera.
Namely, by inviting decorated actress and history-making director Ida Lupino to helm a few episodes.
Although Rod Amateau is credited as directing the pilot for the series, CBS comedy show supervisor Sol Saks was quoted as claiming in William Donati's "Ida Lupino: A Biography," that Lupino had been brought in to help shape a struggling show. "It was 'Gilligan's Island,'" Saks said. "It wasn't even on the air yet.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" not only features a bunch of Deadpool variants making up the infamous Deadpool Corps. from Marvel Comics, it also reveals a bunch of Wolverine variants from across the multiverse. One of them is comically short, both in accuracy when compared to the comics and visually hilarious, while another has been given quite the grandiose crucifixion on a massive X in the middle of a pile of blood-red skulls. But one of them is a totally ripped, gruff, and perfectly grumpy Wolverine played by none other than "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill.
The introduction of this version of Wolverine not only takes a stab at DC Comics letting their Big Blue Boy Scout go without much of a celebrated send-off, but it shows that Cavill was basically in the wrong comic book universe this whole time. While it's not likely that we'll see Cavill pick up the...

Jay Kanter, agent to superstar Hollywood clients including Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly, died Tuesday at his home in Beverly Hills. He was 97.
His son, Adam Kanter of Independent Artist Group, remembered his father as someone who conducted his entire career with “integrity and kindness.”
Kanter also inspired Jack Lemmon’s character in Billy Wilder’s classic comedy “The Apartment.”
Jay Kanter served in the U.S. Navy during WWII and started out working at McA, with mentoring help from Lew Wasserman. At just 22 years old, he was sent to pick up Brando at the train station and they became friends, with Brando becoming his longtime client.
He went on to represent stars including Warren Beatty, Gene Kelly and Ronald Reagan.

In László Benedek's 1953 crime drama "The Wild One," a young woman dancing with a member of the Black Rebels Motorcycle Club asks their leader, the pouty-lipped Johnny (Marlon Brando), what he's rebelling against, to which Johnny replies, unsmiling, "Whaddya got?" The most famous line of Brando's career up there with "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse," it also might as well have been a mission statement for the notoriously temperamental, wild card actor.
Brando's career trajectory reflected his disposition. Where the 1950s saw him collecting accolades and awards left and right, the actor's ill-reputable conduct overshadowed practically everything he did onscreen in the decade that came after. It wasn't until the '70s that Brando's legacy as a screen icon was restored, even as he continued to try and sabotage himself with his unpredictable behavior and seeming apathy towards many of the films he worked on.

Stunt casting can always be really hit or miss — sometimes audiences are excited to see a fun guest star in a surprising role, and sometimes the gimmick ends up feeling, well, gimmicky. Even when it works, like Marlon Brando playing Jor-El in Richard Donner's "Superman," it's frequently a major headache for folks behind-the-scenes. After all, stunt casting involves bringing an actor or star not used to a certain genre or medium into that arena, and actors used to art films and dramas might have a hard time adjusting to the very different requirements of science fiction, fantasy, and horror movies. This goes double for major franchises, where the actor has to contend not only with the unique challenges of a new genre but also the expectations of the fandoms. Since there are few fandoms as intense in their love or as scrutinizing as "Star Trek," stunt casting has to be done very,...

Zack Snyder’s Superman suit kept things simple and Henry Cavill’s body flawlessly fitted right into it. Fans may not have the same opinion about David Corenswet’s costume in the upcoming Superman film. James Gunn revealed the costume via his social media, a design inspired by the suit in earlier Richard Donner movies.

Snyder has now weighed in on the suit, which has drawn comparisons to his suit. The Man of Steel director shared that he has to see the movie to tell how the suit worked as a piece of storytelling. Interestingly, Gunn brought back an interesting aspect that has divided DC fans—the red trunks.

While Guardians of the Galaxy wasn’t James Gunn’s first film, it propelled his career to new heights, establishing him as a key director in the comic book genre. His movies have been celebrated for their creativity, originality, and sheer entertainment value.
Though Gunn initially made his mark with Marvel, he parted ways with the studio for various reasons, with Guardians of the Galaxy 3 being his final MCU film. He has since transitioned to DC, directing The Suicide Squad and later taking on the role of head and creative director of the Dcu.

If the 1970s and ’80s represented a golden age of kinetic but grounded stunt work by pioneers like Hal Needham, Buddy Joe Hooker, and Vic Armstrong, the 2020s are proving to be a seminal moment for stunts in television. The urban action that used to be the bread and butter of Walter Hill, Richard Donner, and Peter Hyams has migrated from the big screen (now dominated by more visual effects-oriented set pieces) to network procedurals and streaming series where stunt coordinators have become adept at creating spectacular moments on tight schedules — all while keeping the performers and crew as safe as possible.
Since its 2020 debut, Dick Wolf’s CBS series “FBI: Most Wanted” has consistently showcased some of the best stunt work on television, with expertly choreographed action sequences that are realistic, thrilling, and heavily slanted toward practical effects.

Yes folks, today DC Studios' co-head honcho James Gunn revealed that he has finished shooting his first Dcu movie, Superman. "And that's a wrap," said Gunn in an emotional post shared on Instagram earlier this evening, going on to pay tribute to his cast and crew as he shared a new behind the scenes photo taken on the first week of filming on his hotly anticipated superhero movie. Check it out below:
"God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life," said Gunn — pictured in his post alongside cast and crew including his Man of Steel David Corenswet...

Damien Thorn is the antichrist, and the trilogy that tells his unholy tale remains popular almost fifty years later. Indeed, while putting together this Omen movie ranked list and revisiting the original franchise, I was surprised at how well the old movies held up. Omen fans will be happy that the series has been restarted in a pretty interesting way earlier this year, with The First Omen a surprisingly excellent prequel to the original trilogy (check out our interviews with the director and cast here), even if it takes one large liberty involving Damien’s birth that some fans may have an issue with. So, how do the Omen films rank against each other? Let’s take a look, but remember that the Fox TV movie, Omen IV: The Awakening, is not included, as I’m sticking with feature films.

There’s honestly no reason for this movie to exist.

The Goonies, which was released in 1985, was an adventure comedy that went on to become a cult classic. Based on a story by Steven Spielberg, the film also served as a stepping stone for young Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, and Ke Huy Quan to become big stars in Hollywood. One of the key characters in the movie was Lawrence ‘Chunk’ Cohen played by actor Jeff Cohen.

Unfortunately, unlike the other actors, Cohen was unable to make a breakthrough in Hollywood as he grew older. One of the main reasons for this was his significant weight loss which made him look completely different from his cult character in The Goonies. The star confessed that filmmakers could not look past this avatar when it came to offering him roles.

Russell Crowe appeared as the genius scientist Jor-El of Krypton in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Snyder’s vision for the character was entirely different from Richard Donner’s Superman, where Marlon Brando played the role. Crowe later revealed that he did the role of Superman’s birth father as a tribute to The Godfather actor.

Crowe recalled the story of how Brando loved one of his performances so much, that he left a gift for him after his death. Besides Crowe, Sean Penn and Clive Owen were also considered for the role of Jor-El. He briefly reprised his role in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

Will Reeve, son of the late Superman actor Christopher Reeve, gave his first comments to TMZ about what it was like filming a cameo for James Gunn’s upcoming “Superman.” It’s a full-circle moment as Will’s father played the Man of Steel in four comic book tentpoles, including Richard Donner’s iconic 1978 “Superman.” Variety reported earlier this month that Will would be making an appearance in Gunn’s new movie.
“I know the folks making the film, and they’ve been so kind to me and my family, and I had a free day, so we made it [happen],” Reeve told TMZ.
“I don’t know what I’m allowed to say,” he added. “It was a really great experience; they were super friendly; it was quick, easy…I was actually more nervous doing that than I am whenever I’m on TV for my normal job because there...

Goonies never say die! But we’re still interested in what else they have to say. And this will all come true for die-hard fans of The Goonies, as a feature-length documentary on the making and legacy of the 1985 adventure favorite is currently in development through a Kickstarter campaign. With less than two months until the campaign ends, none other than Mikey Walsh, Sean Astin, is calling for any remaining support there is and ensuring he’ll take part.
Posting on social media to promote the documentary – currently titled Life After The Goonies – Sean Astin wrote, “I enthusiastically support this Goonies documentary. I hope you all can donate a few bucks so it can get made. I can’t wait to participate. I can’t wait to see the interviews she’s already done…in particular with Richard Donner our Director.

Nick Nolte missed two big opportunities to be a significant name in pop culture. Despite his popularity as a leading man in the industry, the actor could not bag a chance to work with George Lucas, not once but twice. While many fans know he was a potential candidate to play Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, he was also in the mix to play a prominent character in Star Wars.

After starting his career as a model, Nick Nolte got his big breakthrough an Emmy-nominated performance in the 1976 miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man. Following the show, the actor also went on to bag some prominent hits and critically appreciated roles like The Prince of Tides.
However, Nick Nolte’s journey to stardom could have been much easier, had he got to play Han Solo oder Luke Skywalker in George Lucas’ 1977 space-opera flick.

Image Source: Warner Bros When Superman made his debut on the silver screen in 1978 audiences around the globe were captivated. Christopher Reeve’s iconic portrayal of the Man of Steel and the cutting edge special effects left a lasting impression. Yet it was the score by the renowned John Williams that truly took the movie to new heights. The legendary Superman theme, iconic as Superman’s cape and unwavering commitment to justice became an integral part of his characters essence. It wasn’t just background music; it was an element that deeply connected with viewers forever solidifying Superman’s place in film history. We were fortunate enough to speak with the late director Richard Donner many times over the years, and he often shared fascinating stories about the making of this iconic film. When discussing the soundtrack, he revealed how landing Williams for the project wasn’t a smooth flight.

A wide range of actors, from Kirk Alyn to Henry Cavill, have donned the Kryptonian cape of Superman. But a large section of DC fans hail Christopher Reeve as the definitive version of the character. Despite Henry Cavill’s fame in the role, unlike Reeve, his story ended abruptly when James Gunn took over DC Studios.

While the late Christopher Reeve gave one too many star-studded performances throughout his lifetime, perhaps his most well-known one to date is the Superman film series. Originally helmed by Richard Donner, the first two movies in the film series were true pieces of masterworks. However, the third one wasn’t quite up to the mark and even fared the least among fans and critics.

The reasons behind this failure were many. While Donner getting replaced midway with Richard Lester was one thing that led to the script facing a tumultuous fate, what further led to the film’s downfall were certain elements of this third installment. One of these troublesome elements was Richard Pryor’s casting in it as Gus Gorman, as Reeve himself admitted in his autobiography.

It’s impossible to imagine a time when superhero movies and television series were not a staple of American culture. More than a decade of comic book content graced big screens thanks to the growth of cinematic-style movies and the rise of the Dcu. Following that, in the 2000s, creative minds like Christopher Nolan and Sam Raimi showed up, bringing their own visions and innovative thinking to the movie theaters.

Comic book adaptations are more popular and dominant now than they were decades ago. However, the classics will always be considered classics. For instance, while Richard Donner’s Superman introduced the magnificent red-caped hero played by Christopher Reeve in 1978, Tim Burton’s Batman had a one-of-a-kind impact a decade later, in 1989.

William Shatner found fame with his portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise. He played thr role for decades in both television and movies, and became synonymous with the character of the captain of the starship Enterprise. At 93 years of age, Shatner is just as spritely as he was before, and keeps popping up in projects every now and then, while continuously interacting with fans during fan-conventions or through social media.

Beverly Hills Cop is one of the best and most iconic franchises in the action comedy genre, and most of the credit for that goes to its leading man, Eddie Murphy. Created by Danilo Bach and Daniel Petrie Jr., the first film in the franchise came out in 1984, and now, with the fourth film coming out nearly thirty years after the third and the worst film in the franchise came out, the hype for the franchise and its iconic theme song is back on the top. So, if you loved Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, here are some more great action comedy films you could watch next.

James Gunn’s Superman has added Will Reeve, son of the late Superman star Christopher Reeve, in a cameo role, according to local reporting out of Cleveland, where production is currently in motion.
While reps for Warner Bros and DC could not be reached for comment, the younger Reeve will reportedly be playing a TV reporter, which is fitting given his real-world work as a correspondent for ABC News.
Reeve’s father Christopher is indelibly linked to the Superman franchise, having become the definitive portrayal of the iconic superhero for an entire generation. His relationship with the franchise began in 1978, when he was cast as the titular character in Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie, and he went on to don the cape in three sequels between 1980 and 1987: Superman II, Superman III, and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

A number of actors have donned the red-capped character of Superman, but only a few have managed to leave a long-lasting impact on the audience’s hearts. From Henry Cavill and Kirk Alyn to Dean Cain, actors have presented their own version of the iconic hero on the silver screen.

‘Life After Flash,’ Life After The Navigator’ and ‘Life After The Never Ending Story’ filmmaker, Lisa Downs is now embarking on another crowdfunded project with the documentary ‘Life After The Goonies’ for it’s 40th anniversary.
With the backing of one of the movie’s stars, Sean Astin, who Downs approached with the proposal recently at the Liverpool Comic Con, the doc will be the definitive documentary celebrating one of the greatest movies to come out of the 80’s.

Since 1938, Superman has dominated countless comic books, inspired a legion of fans, and appeared on the big and small screen to varying degrees of success. Adorned in blue tights and a red cape, the Man of Steel is a traditional hero in every sense of the word: morally sound, full of hope, and never too busy for any task, great or small. He's a Boy Scout who stands for truth, justice, and the American Way, an ideology that contrasts sharply against today's darker generation of heroes like Batman and Spider-Man.
But that hasn't stopped producers from trying their hand at blockbuster success with the big guy. Richard Donner's "Superman: The Movie," the grandfather of all superhero films, remains the most successful entry, critically and commercially, while Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns" and Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" trilogy divided critics and audiences alike.

James Gunn’s Superman continues to get flak from the fans of Zack Snyder. However, one of the latest leaked images from the film would make any Superman fan happy. The image alluded to an instance from the comic book and fans are already thrilled to see the tiny detail that Gunn has included in his movie.

Gunn has already impressed some comic book fans with his comic-accurate characters. Snyder fans may provide some leniency toward Gunn after the attention to comic detail, something the Man of Steel director was also keen on.

Mel Gibson goes back behind the camera for Flight Risk, with Mark Wahlberg starring. Here’s the first trailer.
Few could accuse Mel Gibson of playing it safe when it comes to picking his directorial projects, from his debut Man Without A Face to the Oscar-winning Braveheart and the terrific Apocalypto to his last feature to date, war drama Hacksaw Ridge.
Mel Gibson moves closer to blockbuster territory with plane based thriller Flight Risk. The synopsis reads as follows:
“Ya’ll need a pilot?” In this high-stakes suspense thriller, Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg plays a pilot transporting an Air Marshal (Michelle Dockery) accompanying a fugitive (Topher Grace) to a trial. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.

The debate between DC and Marvel had been going on long before Kevin Feige entered the scene. Both franchises have always been in competition with each other, they have both helped each other become better and reach the top of the superhero genre.
While fans are yet to find a winner when it comes to all aspects of the franchise, including live-action, animation, and comics, it would seem that those who are a part of it are more than happy to rely on each other.

(Welcome to Tales from the Box Office, our column that examines box office miracles, disasters, and everything in between, as well as what we can learn from them.)
"That's their stuff, their business. They have a film in mind. I've already done it. I've done my Batman." Those were the words uttered by TV's Batman Adam West when asked about the casting of Michael Keaton in a new "Batman" film being put together by Warner Bros. in the late '80s. "Do you want the classic Coke, or do you want the new stuff? Maybe both." West suggests his hammy take on the DC Comics hero was Coke while Keaton would become New Coke. The only problem with West's metaphor is that, in this scenario, New Coke won the battle handily.
It's easy to forget now but there was a time when the general public's only image of Batman was...

Actor Henry Cavill is best known for his portrayal of Clark Kent / Superman in the Dceu, which started with 2013’s Man of Steel. Despite mixed reviews from critics, the film was a commercial success, leading to the launch of the Dceu, which incorporated other DC Comics characters into a shared universe.

Irrespective of the Dceu’s fate, Cavill’s first foray as Superman remains beloved among fans. Therefore, fans will be interested in learning just how challenging it was for the actor to film Superman’s flying scenes in Man of Steel. Nonetheless, Cavill saw the fun side of things by emulating Mary Poppins in a BTS video that will certainly give Emily Blunt competition.

Mega-famous actor and director Mel Gibson may be known for his explosive racist tirades as much as he is for any of his blockbuster films, but, hey, at least he hasn’t done blackface — yet.
In a recent interview with the Inspire Me podcast, Gibson confirmed that he is currently in production on the fifth (official) installment of the Lethal Weapon series, which Gibson has been planning to direct and star in for a few years now. Gibson will take the reins from the franchise’s previous director, the late Richard Donner, and the star promised to fulfill Donner’s vision for the pentalogy. Said Gibson of Donner’s plans for Lethal Weapon 5, “He had gotten a fair way into the screenplay, so we’ve used what was there, and we kept poking at it, working at it a little. I’m pretty happy with it. It’s good.

Forty years after the character’s first appearance on the print pages of Action Comics, Superman made his biggest jump yet in terms of making an impact with the live-action set of four movies starring Christopher Reeve. Alongside Margot Kidder as his Lois Lane, the adaptation went on to become one of the most beloved pieces of comic book movie legacy thanks to the handling of the leads at the hands of director Richard Donner.

Before director Richard Donner passed away back in July of 2021, he had been developing a fifth and final entry in the Lethal Weapon film franchise, saying that he, as the director of the first four films, had a “privilege and duty to put it to bed.” When Donner died, he passed that duty over to franchise star Mel Gibson – not a bad choice, given that Gibson has directed some major box office hits himself, and won the Best Director Oscar for Best Picture winner Braveheart. Back in 2022, Gibson assured us that Lethal Weapon 5 is going to happen one of these days. Now, during an interview on the Inspire Me podcast, Gibson has revealed that he has gotten the screenplay – which has been worked on by the likes of Richard Wenk (The Equalizer) and Jez Butterworth (Edge of Tomorrow) – to a point where he’s happy with it.
