Super/Man directors reveal one note Christopher Reeve’s children gave them

As a fan who has grown up watching Superman movies, I eagerly anticipate the release of “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story.” This film promises to delve deep into the personal and professional life of the man behind the iconic superhero, offering an intimate look at his struggles and triumphs.


Currently playing in theaters, the documentary titled “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story” offers a captivating portrayal of the life of renowned actor and Superman icon, Christopher Reeve.

The film delves into Reeve’s experiences after a horse riding accident that left him paralysed, and how he worked as an activist for disability rights.

Ettedgui stated: “It’s intriguing as they, the three children, essentially gave us the freedom to create the movie we envisioned. However, they only got involved near the end of the editing process.

Additionally, here’s a reminder from Will: “Remember, guys, even though we were part of this extraordinary situation, we were still an ordinary family who enjoyed lots of laughter and great humor together.

That was an excellent touch, especially during the final stretch, since we’re always fond of incorporating humor.

Ettedguie explained, “During the production of McQueen, we loved hearing laughter from the audience. It was a joyful validation for us to revisit scenes, carefully timing and enhancing them, and discovering even more amusing moments within our archives.

Bonhôte commented: “There should be a balance between sadness and joy in life, as constant tears would drain us. Don’t you agree? And laughter is essential for maintaining that balance.

The movie has roles for Matthew, Alexandra, and Will, along with interviews from Kevin Johnson (Reeve’s brother), Gae Exton (his ex-partner), acting greats like Jeff Daniels, Susan Sarandon, Glenn Close, and Whoopi Goldberg, as well as others.
