*Warner Bros. Pictures and Fathom Events have unveiled the official trailer for “SUPER/MAN: The Christopher Reeve Story,” a powerful documentary exploring the life and legacy of the iconic actor.
Hitting select theaters on September 21, with an Encore Presentation on Christopher Reeve’s birthday, September 25, the film offers a deep dive into Reeve’s remarkable career, his role as Superman, and his inspiring journey of resilience following his life-changing accident. Fans of the legendary actor won’t want to miss this heartfelt tribute to a true hero.
Here’s the official synopsis: “The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today. Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down,” the description states.
“After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care – all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family,” the synopsis continues.
The film “includes never-before-seen intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material, as well as the first extended interviews ever filmed with Reeve’s three children about their father, and interviews with the A-list Hollywood actors who were Reeve’s colleagues and friends. The film is a moving and vivid cinematic telling of Reeve’s remarkable story.”
From the directors of McQueen, Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story” is produced by Passion Pictures (Searching For Sugar Man, The Territory) and Misfits Entertainment (McQueen, Rising Phoenix).
