Warner Bros. has premiered the first trailer for the powerful and uplifting documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story at CinemaCon. We were there to experience it and this is our reaction!
Directed by Ian Bonhote AND Pietro EtteguiThis film delves into the life and career of the man who made the world believe that “a man could fly.”
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story chronicles the life of actor Christopher Reeve after a horseback riding accident left him permanently paralyzed from the neck down. Using intimate footage of Reeve and his family, directors Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui paint a picture of a real-life hero known for his iconic role as Superman.
To the people who knew him and spent time with him, he was much more than that. He was an advocate for the disabled community, and Bonhôte and Ettedgui made it their mission to make him a focal point of the film, highlighting not only Reeve’s legacy but also that of his children, who work to carry on his mission through The Christopher & Dana. Reeve Foundation.
Co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn revealed that he and co-CEO Peter Safran personally helped the film find its home at Warner Bros. He said: “I saw the wonderful documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story a couple of weeks ago.”
He continued: It moved me. Peter and I knew DC Studios had to be involved and I am grateful to Peter and our WBD family of Warner Bros, HBO, CNN and Max for working so hard to acquire it. It’s a wonderful film, made by wonderful directors, not just for people like me who love Reeve’s work, but for everyone.”
Will Reeve, Christopher Reeve’s youngest son, said, “You might think you know Superman, or the lawyer, or whatever version of Christopher Reeve you think you know, but then you’ll see him as a dad.”
The film will be released in theaters in September 2024.
