I just finished watched this documentary. Anybody else seen it?
Fascinating story about the genesis and demise of this bizarre project that was supposed to star Nicholas Cage as Superman.
My first impression is that it's amazing (but not surprising) how the vast majority of creative decisions regarding design and story was informed by everything BUT comics. These were cinematic creative forces using the comics to basically wipe their backsides.
I've said before that I'm hoping modern Warner/DC has the sensibility to draw upon the creative talent of their comics division instead of handling superhero films like any other action picture.
Definitely recommended viewing.
