Description

n this episode, we take a look at the would-be superhero epic from director Tim Burton...Superman Lives! Set to star Nicolas Cage as the Man of Steel/Clark Kent in a visionary take on the character from a script by none other than Kevin Smith, Superman Lives is one of the most well-known "almost happened" movies in existence. Mere weeks away from shooting, after storyboards, concept designs, costume fittings, etc. were put together, WB pulled the plug on the expensive film, which languished in development hell until both Burton and Cage moved on, leaving this superhero without a cape. With so much potential and so much promise, even if it would've amounted to little more than a wild ride, it's a movie we all wish we could've seen...and we got so close! Suit up and take flight as we explore Superman Lives and answer the question, WTF Happened to this (Unmade) Movie?!

Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions and actors/actresses that were "hot" one minute and gone the next. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, many films had such behind the scenes issues that we will discuss in our shows. We'll also delve into the lives of some Hollywood folk who seemed to have disappeared after striking it big at first. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To....?!
