"The Death of 'Superman Lives': What Happened?"
Behind the scenes look at the Tim Burton/Kevin Smith/ Nic Cage Superman movie that was never made. Interesting and compelling story as to what was happening and the minutia involved in launching a $300,000,000 movie project.
I do note, despite all the comments in the movie about the intense curiosity and potential profitability of the project, I think the odds of it being a disaster were significant. Laughable however, that Warner Bros. took the resources planned for Superman Lives and put them towards Wild Wild West, which, while maybe not a 'BOMB' as Ebert would say, was still a turkey.
I'd say Burton could have made a visually stunning Superman movie with Nic Cage, but the contrivances that were being pooped into the storyline would have made the movie either incomprehensible, or unintentionally funny.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
