The Death of "Superman Lives": What Happened? (2015)

Documentary on director Tim Burton's proposed Superman reboot movie of the 1990's, a film that came pretty close to being made but was scrapped 3 weeks before the start of production do to, among other things, the failure of the film Batman & Robin. The movie was to star Nicholas Cage of all people as The Man of Steel, Christopher Walken as the alien villain Brainiac, and Chris Rock as Jimmy Olsen, and I feel personally wronged that the latter did not happen. This modestly budgeted documentary has interviews with a  lot of the behind the scenes people associated with the project, story boards, costume testes etc., and while the subject matter would have been interesting enough at an hour in length, at an hour and 44 minutes its just long. **
