VIDEO - Behind The Scenes Documentary On 1978's Superman

Superman:  The Making of a Classic

Superman:  The Making of a Classic

1978's Superman is a classic movie.  I grew up in the 70's and 80's and the Superman movies starring Christopher Reeve as the flying hero really captured my imagination when I was a kid.  Margot Kidder was not only Superman's Lois Lane, she was my Lois Lane too.  No doubt the same can be said for most kids who loved these movies.

It was unexpected and incredibly sad news to hear the passing of Margot last week.  I met her a few years back and she was a lovely lady to have a general chit chat with.  She will be missed.

I was browsing YouTube for videos to remind me of Margot's special performance as Lois Lane and came across the feature length documentary on the Superman movies that featured on the DVD.  As behind the scenes docs go, this is up there with some of the best.  Everything is discussed from casting to the opening credits to the epic soundtrack by John Williams.   Sit back and enjoy a detailed insight into how the Superman movies made it to the big screen.

I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA.  This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
