The Death of 'Superman Lives': What Happened? feature film documents the process of development of the ill fated "Superman Lives" movie, that was to be directed by Tim Burton and star Nicolas Cage as the man of steel himself, Superman. The project went through years of development before the plug was pulled, and this documentary interviews the major filmmakers: Kevin Smith, Tim Burton, Jon Peters, Dan Gilroy, Colleen Atwood, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and many many more.

A fascinating look at Tim Burton's abandoned Superman film, with rare insights and behind-the-scenes footage of what could have been.

We were robbed of a potentially amazing Tim Burton / Nic Cage vision. Instead, the studio lost $100 M on Wild Wild West

Very interesting documentary about what could have been. The interviews and the abundance of preproduction material make this movie great

Amazing Doc! If you love Superman or Nick Cage or how movies are made (in this case, how they fall apart), you need to watch this.

Interesting documentary but I’d love to watch the insane-looking Superman Lives instead of this.

The documentary was over hyped. I learned nothing that I didn't know about Superman lives

It's fine. Didn't really reveal much at all, but a curious look into what could have been nonetheless.
