Premiere Spotlights Superman Returns

Premiere has an extensive behind-the-scenes article on Superman Returns, available online here. Among the highlights are a history of recent failed Superman films, possible manifestations of the "Superman Curse," and Brandon Routh's and Bryan Singer's personal relationships with the Man of Steel.

Although parts of the article may seem familiar to interested fans with Internet access, it gives a good, comprehensive overview, with few spoilers. Quotes from Kevin Spacey give insight into Luthor's role in the film, and Singer's comments about Superman having to find his way in a changed world complement the recently-released teaser trailer. Singer and Routh are clearly dedicated to the character and excited about bringing him to life. The challenge, of course, is to translate that to the big screen.
