Check Out The Official Poster For ‘The Death Of “Superman Lives”; What Happened’!

Briefly: All the way back in January of 2013, we featured a very intriguing Kickstarter project by our pal Jon Schnepp.

If you were a comic book fan, and more than a few years old in the mid-to-late 1990′s, you probably remember hearing about a little film called Superman Lives. The feature was set to be directed by (then arguably at his most popular) Tim Burton, written by Kevin Smith, and star Nicolas Cage.

Production got to the point where filming was about to begin… and then it was gone. There have been plenty of different stories as to why, but in all honesty, nobody really knows.

Sure, it would have been weird (have you seen the leaked costume test), but that’s not to say it wouldn’t have been good. So what happened?

That’s what Jon Schnepp wanted to find out. The Kickstarter was an absolute sensation, and would eventually earn $115,110 of its $98,000 goal.

It’s been a long journey (and more than a lot of work for Schnepp and crew), but the film is finally almost here. The Death Of “Superman Lives”; What Happened? will screen at the Egyptian theatre in Los Angeles on May 1st and 2nd (grab tickets from Fandango).

The official poster for the film has just hit the web, and it looks freaking sweet. I won’t be attending the premiere due to the fact that I live all the way up in Canada, but as a backer of the project I am beyond excited to see it.

Take a look at the poster below, and let us know what you’re most looking forward to see in the documentary!
