#39 - SUPERMAN LIVES - Looking back at the great unmade Superman movie

"You and me get Superman, wanna know why? 'Cause we're from the streets."

Rob and Alan pore through all three drafts of the legendary never-made film "SUPERMAN LIVES", examining each draft's huge differences and quirky charms. What surprising similarities do these scripts have with later Superman films? Would Nicolas Cage have triumphed as the Man of Steel or would he have gone down in history as the greatest miscasting in comic book cinema? Why a giant spider? What exactly did Jon Peters think Superman was? How great would the Kenner toyline for this film have been? Stay till the VERY end for this one!

 

PLUS! Alan and Rob discuss going to see 'Superman in Concert' in Dublin.
