Watch The First Teaser For ‘The Death Of ‘Superman Lives’: What Happened?’

Briefly: All the way back in January of this year, 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 starring 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.

Now, the documentary is in production, and today, the first teaser trailer was released. Take a look at it below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the feature! The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened?  looks fantastic, and will release next Summer!
