July 4, 2015: New Footage Features Nicolas Cage in "Superman Lives!" Costume
A new video has surfaced featuring actor Nicolas Cage in one of the Superman costumes which would have been featured in the failed Tim Burton film, "Superman Lives!".
The footage was posted by the LA times and comes from director Jon Schnepp's documentary "The Death of 'Superman Lives': What Happened?" which delves into one of Hollywood's most enthralling 'what could have been' stories.
The interviews, combined with exclusive concept art and the amazing behind-the-scenes footage of Cage in Superman mode, paint a pretty good picture of what could have been, and it would have been insane. But that good kind of Burton insane. Probably.
"The Death of 'Superman Lives': What Happened?" isn't all just Cage doing super calisthenics; the documentary also puts a lot of long-held "Superman Lives" rumors on blast. For example, the lightning super suit (seen above) was not going to be used for the entirety of the film. There would be no rainbow lightbrite Superman - a fact that Schnepp clears up. According to the documentary, that suit was made for a singular moment early on in the film.
View the complete video footage at the LA Times website.
Blu-Ray and DVD copies of "The Death of 'Superman Lives': What Happened?" will be available for purchase per day at booth #3915 at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con as well as a free poster for the first 100 customers per day.
The documentary is also currently available for pre-order at TDOSLWH.com.
