Christopher Reeve<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\nThe story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent\/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today. Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down.<\/p>\n
After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care – all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera and dedicating himself to his beloved family.<\/p>\n
From the directors of McQueen, Ian Bonh\u00f4te and Peter Ettedgui, this film includes never-before-seen intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material, as well as the first extended interviews ever filmed with Reeve\u2019s three children about their father, and interviews with the A-list Hollywood actors who were Reeve\u2019s colleagues and friends. The film is a moving and vivid cinematic telling of Reeve\u2019s remarkable story.<\/p>\n
Super\/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story<\/strong> is produced by Passion Pictures (Searching For Sugar Man, The Territory) and Misfits Entertainment (McQueen, Rising Phoenix).<\/p>\nNew York-based production studio Words + Pictures financed and also produced the film. Words+Pictures, founded in 2021 by Connor Schell, is led by the creators and producers of the 30 for 30 series, the Emmy Award-winning The Last Dance, and the 2017 Oscar-winning O.J.: Made in America. The film is a presentation of DC Studios, HBO Documentary Films, CNN Films and Words+Pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
