What was it like working with Christopher Reeve in Superman III

[@BluesFanUK_]

Christopher Reeve is the only one who has legit managed to make Clark Kent and Superman look like two different people, phenomenal actor.

[@comicbookninja5268]

All the other Superman actors didn't even try.

[@brennan4159]

The scene where he is waiting for lois and without saying a word removes his glasses , adjusts his posture and he becomes superman wearing clarks clothes. Then Lois comes out, he shrinks back into clark and they go on there date.... Convincingly shows both identities without saying a word, HE was far and away better than every succesor.

[@danieldickson8591]

Looking at and listening to Reeve's Clark and Supes, if you didn't already know, you'd never suspect they were the same man.

I have always been Team Lana. I've always thought she's the type of girl someone like Superman or Clark would fall for and not someone like Lois. This was actually the only thing I loved about Superman 3, reteaming him with Lana. And i think Annette O'Toole was the perfect actress to portray her.

I tear up when I think about Christopher Reeve. He made me believe a man could fly. I was 10 years old when Superman premiered. That movie was a huge event in my life. It was bigger than life. I trembled during the credit roll in the beginning. But the first time you see him fly in the movie.............chills..........for me, one of the great moments in my life. It was great being a kid.

[@chiefscheider]

Same here, seeing Superman on the big screen was an amazing experience. I was 13 and saw it three times between Xmas and New Year's and it was sold out every time. The third time I brought a little audio recorder and taped most of the movie. Wish I had kept it bc the audience reactions were unbelievable, especially during the helicopter rescue.

I spent the day with Margot Kidder at comic con years ago after her signing we went to lunch then dinner with several of my friends. We talked maybe 5 hours to 6 hours. She told us that she was doing a lot of coke back then and was not very nice. She said she didn’t remember days or weeks at a time or just bits and pieces. She was taking downers to even out. So honest and lots of regrets. She said all her self worth and confidence was tied to her looks and once they were gone she took a long time to know who she was and a longer time to love herself. She was staying with a friend in San Diego so just got on the bus to come to comic con. Yes we drove her home.

[@gaila.6003]

"Somewhere In Time" One of the most glorious movies I've ever seen. Christopher Reeve was almost angelic, and Jane Seymour was so incredibly stunningly beautiful. The music, the scenery, everything about the movie was perfection, and the ending..Good lord! Knowing how Chris lived the last years of his life, and his passing, makes the movie even more achingly beautiful.

[@michaelkrolewski7406]

Chris actually said in an interview, after his injury that he had an out of body experience, just like the one at the end of Somewhere in Time.

[@sharonsomers]

One of my favorites as well. I don't think I've ever watched it without crying. Love it.

[@Willowy13]

There are romance/love story movies and then there is Somewhere in Time. It is so incredibly good. There is no way one won't have a broken heart for the main characters by the end of it.

[@VernCrisler]

Yes, it was an impactful movie, but I found it a bit disturbing. The ending felt like a deus ex machina ending -- a trite way of reversing the sheer tragedy of the story. (BTW, the woman Elise was based upon was actually a lesbian, lol.) More interesting is that the movie uses Rachmaninoff's music very effectively, and one of the women in the movie was Teresa Wright of the classic movie Best Years of Our Lives.

[@FreeBird_6791]

I recently watched Somewhere In Time after hearing folks' rave reviews and I get it. I don't watch romance but that movie was well done and had me captivated the moment the old woman said 'Come back to me'. Very interesting. I wonder if the book if just as good.

Great respect for Annette O'Toole. 👍🥰

[@dragonfly1694]

Margot Kidder was punished by the producers the Salkinds for siding with Richard Donner, the original director of 'Superman', who was working to complete 'Superman II' before he was unceremoniously fired by the producers & replaced with Lester. That is the sole reason why the Lois Lane character was essentially side-lined for Lana Lang. Gene Hackman also sided with Donner & refused to appear in 'Superman III', which is why Robert Vaughn was the main antagonist instead, in the same way that Marlon Brando was replaced with Susannah York for the Krypton flashback scenes in 'Superman II', as Brando sided with Donner as well & refused to appear in the sequel. Lester re-shot about 75% of the scenes filmed for 'Superman II' & brought a camp comedy element into the mix that didn't really suit the series. Richard Pryor was an ill-fit for 'Superman III' & unfortunately his presence determined the film's tone. But it does feature the Superman Vs. Superman battle which might be Christopher Reeve's greatest moment in the role. And the horrific cyborg transformation of Annie Ross in the climax was hands down the scariest moment in any Superman movie! It's still better than 'Superman IV' & 'Superman Returns'. Was a nice homage when they brought Annette O'Toole into the 'Smallville' TV series as Martha Kent, and more recently Helen Slater in the 'Supergirl' series as Eliza Danvers.

[@chrisk1489]

Thankyou for sharing that's really interesting. I am 44 now and when i was a kid in the 80's Superman was my hero.

[@Darthzilla99]

To be fair to Richard Lester, the Salkinds were the ones that wanted the camp comedy. The Salkinds wanted Superman to be a campy movie series similar to the Adam West Batman show. Richard Donner envisioned a grand epic fantasy tale similar to Greek stories and having a grand Heroes Journey. Reeves always liked working with both Lester and Donner. I always got the impression that Lester was merely just doing a job by the Salkinds and often got unfair blame for the short comings.

[@lautz73]

... Annette says that when she was reading for the Martha Kent role that the casting agents didn't realize that she had played Lana Lang in Superman 3. Smallville wound up with 2 Lois Lane's, 2 Lana Lang's and 2 Clark Kent's.

[@DW-nb2zc]

And any of Reeve's Superman movies are better than any other superhero film except maybe for the first Hulk TV movie

[@responsiblejerk2328]

It's such a shame Donner did not continue. His take was exactly right at the right time. Superman is a metaphor for America, and after the dark cynical period of the late 60s/early 70s, it was films like Rocky, Star Wars, Grease, and Superman: The Movie that celebrated American traditions, wholesomeness, virtue and individual heroism. IMO, that trend peaked in the mid-80s with Top Gun, before slowly devolving into woke cynicism again.

[@mikefit3343]

Annette O'Toole was a total babe back in her prime so I'm not at all surprised Christopher was extra helpful and courteous towards her, but then again Chris always seemed like he is that type of person who cares about others.

[@moretoknowshow1887]

I remember being so truly impressed with Smallville's casting, especially with John and Martha Kent. What a wonderful nod to the films it was to bring Annette back to play Martha. And she was perfect for the role. She surpassed the nostalgia vote immediately by bringing warmth and depth to the character. Could not have asked for better than she gave us. How sweet to see that she has just as much grace off screen.

[@Cyborganna]

@@danieldickson8591 Cavill, while handsome and a good Actor, is pure nightmare fuel to me in the role. Never once feel that special paternal safety that Reeve just effortlessly imbued. Reeve would descend and gently part clouds bringing soothing Sunshine ~ While Cavill swooped in with aggressively bleak brewing thunderstorms scooped up under his cape. Just nothing but foreboding, impeding doom and chaos. Nothing Super to be seen. I weep(as a Fan) for the Kids who never got to bathe in Christopher's magnetic light during their formative years. All the young Cavill fans I've met have a tinge of aggression to their Fandoms. The Reeve camp have optimism and more empathy. Hope and faith are so vitally necessary in popculture, Children need real Heroes.

[@MiddleEarthGirl75]

@@Cyborganna I know that is the complaint about Cavill, and I believe Cavill himself said he wished he could do a film more reflective of his predecessors. He's a big fan of the originals. It's the script/WB that made his Superman that way which is sad. He definitely could have pulled off a more softer and heartfelt Superman. You can see glimpses of it here and there in his movies but it's so overshadowed by them making him act as a weapon more than a man.

I am just repeating what many have said but Christopher Reeve has always been the best Superman and Clark Kent. He was because I think he was a class act when the cameras weren’t rolling. I have heard story after story about what a wonderful and kind man he was. We don’t have a lot of actors like that nowadays but they are there. The tabloids don’t cover the kindness of people as well as their darker sides. That’s why hearing these stories from people that actually worked with them are good to hear.

You know what makes Reeve's performance so great? It's because he understands what makes the character work. He understood why people don't recognize Clark Kent as Superman. He played the role as two separate characters. While other characters have a "secret identity", with Superman, Clark Kent IS his secret identity. He plays the part of Kent as a lanky, naive and clumsy geek who looks as threatening as a butter knife, but as soon as he removes the glasses, he straightens up, lowers the voice and becomes a God-like figure. THAT is why Reeve will ALWAYS be the DEFINITIVE Superman!

[@spittyrides]

"Evil Superman" and the junkyard scene is a sheer stroke of genius that was sorely misunderstood by audiences at the time. It was too clever for its own good. The scene was a fight "within" Superman; within his psyche. It's all very Jungian. While the synthetic kryptonite didn't kill Superman it did make him "sick"; it lowered his inhibitions and revealed the suppressed side of Kal-El's personality. Notice that it was Kent, all meek, clean-cut and raised on the farm, that came out to confront the "evil Superman". Two projections of Superman's psyche. This movie was filmed in the midst of a "just say no to drugs" backdrop as well. You could also argue that the junkyard fight was an addicted Superman that was trying to get clean. The clean Clark won. A movie well ahead of its time. It's one of my favourite Superman movies.

[@JoseyWales44s]

Everything that did not involve Richard Pryor or Robert Vaughn.

[@brendancaldwell7755]

Aside from Rosenbaum, lex always had a bit of flamboyance in his style (Hackman, spacey, eisenberg) and after seeing him come full circle, I'd love to see him again being full lex.

I'm in my mid 60's and have seen all the movies and TV series. Rosenbaum is the best Lex by a country mile. None of the other actors came even close but some of that is they also portray Lex as kind of goofy. As for Eisenberg, he sucks. I love the Man of Steel movie and feel it is the best portrayal of superman with the exception of Eisenberg.

Christopher Reeve is a legend. May he rest in peace.

She seems like a swell dame. 👍

As was said numerous times, Superman use to act as Christopher Reeve. A legend , never dies! 💪

[@tylerriddle7748]

Henry Cavill is good but Christopher reeve is best and I think if Tom welling had a movie he would've been great too

[@thedoneeye]

Yup! One of the things that made Christopher Reeve great was how he created two entirely different characters for Clark Kent and Superman! You could see *why* people wouldn't have figured that they were one and the same.

@@tylerriddle7748 You can’t write In English can you. Or worse, you have no knowledge of English grammar. I just said that Welling was still alive when someone wrote that he was dead. Read before you comment. Or are you one these backboneless men who has to troll every woman.
