- 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.

To this day, Christopher Reeve is still my Hero ⭐️
In my 52 years I only cried when 2 celebrities passed, Chris Reeve and Robin Williams. One taught me to believe a man can fly the other to laugh. Both strange visitors from another planet, though one was a lot stranger than the other. When this comes out I am buying it day one
Christopher Reeve was an amazing actor! Couple that with his charm, and his kindness, every one of us including me as a kid in the 1980s felt and I still do that Christopher Reeve set such a great example for everyone!
God bless you Christopher Reeve 🙏🙏
Christopher Reeves was a legend. The perfect Superman.
If Henry Cavill were to meet Reeves when he was still alive, that would have been awesome to witness.
When Reeve was injured in his horse-riding accident, he was unable to pay all of his medical expenses and was about to fall deep into debt. So his friend since acting school, Robin Williams, paid ALL of his bills.
Also, for those folks who keep making the same mistake, there is NO "S" at the end of his name:
George REEVES - 1950's TV Superman
Christopher REEVE - The 1978-87 Movie Superman
Thank you for this 🤎🤙🏿

Glad to see this documentary getting the exposure it deserves. Im currently working on Americas Dad ~ The John Amos story. Seeing this interview is certainly a huge inspiration!
I can't wait to see Super/ Man.thku.
she has the smile
Right?? Years ago, when I saw the three kids on stage, she and one of the brothers smiled, and they both had HIS off-sided smile. It was so heartwarming to see one of his best traits was continuing beyond him.
Can't wait to see this.
Thku. My only Superman 🦸♂️ ❤️ God bless his children and family.
i can't believe christopher reeve's son is a real life clark kent reporter - and wasn't cast in the legacy movie?!?!
Superman had kids?
awesome
Yeah , Johnatan Kent and Lara Lane Kent. Christopher Reeve also had kids , the ones in this interview.
Do you have any idea where or when Warner Bros will air this documentary? They haven't made it available to the public yet.
When and where can I watch this documentary
Sais mon prait faire sais mon.heros
Superman's son has almost the same name as The Batman's director. My point? I don't have one. It's just cool.
Christopher reeves won should play superman
Pourquoi il son pas proposé a son fils il la même tete
The "Snyderverse" just is totally wrong that has polarized the audience, just as Snyder wants. There's even no comparing the fantastic Donner to the horrible Snyder.
Since the Documentary Film was screened at Cannes Film Festival Warner Bros. has since bought the international distribution right's and is likely to provide a Theatrical release this September 2024 and further l on after to ive-stream after.
