Christopher Reeve’s Kids Discuss Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story Documentary

Despite the “Snyderverse,” the DCU shakeup, and all the iterations of the superhero that have been adapted to screen, for many, the title of Superman is synonymous with the 1978 portrayal by Christopher Reeve. The image of him in that iconic suit and cape is a part of pop culture, and Reeve’s tragic accident, too, is well-known. But what about the man himself, and the subsequent journey following his paralysis in 1995? Filmmakers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui’s documentary, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, explores just that with candid recounts from those closest to the Hollywood legend. Through never-before-seen archives and home videos, Super/Man reveals an intimate look at how Christopher Reeve seemingly found overnight stardom when he made the leap from television to portraying Clark Kent/Superman in Richard Donner’s Superman. Not long after Reeve made the world believe a man could fly, tragedy struck when a horseback riding accident rendered the actor quadriplegic. Under such a spotlight, this life-altering event and his own activism brought widespread awareness of disability, but the road to his new life was a challenging one. With the help of his children, Alexandra Reeve Givens, Matthew Reeve, and Will Reeve, Super/Man shares an unflinching look at the man before and after, and the legacy he and his wife, Dana Reeve, left behind. At this year's Sundance Film Festival, the cast and creatives behind the documentary stopped by our Media Studio, sponsored by Film.io, to talk with Collider's Steve Weintraub. During this interview, which you can watch in the video above or read below, we learn how the documentary finally made its way to the big screen and the importance of showing the man behind the legend. We learn about the editing process and how difficult it was to remove certain storylines, and Matthew, Will, and Alexandra share how they've continued their father's work through the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. #ChristopherReeve #Superman #SuperManTheChristopherReeveStory For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
