Superman Returns Do you think they should dedicate this film to Christopher Reeve?

[super_fan]

At the end of the film they could have:

In memory of Christopher Reeve - the first cinematic Superman

Something like that would be nice. Just a thought.

 

[SatEL]

It certainly would be nice and it would make me appreciate the film a lot more hopefully they do that.

 

[Kane]

Well he wasnt the first cinematic Superman.

I'd have to say a definate No.

Enough time has passed since his death, no need to rub salt on an old wound.

Plus I dont think there should be any elements that date the film. I want it to be timeless so people decades from now would be watching it and some may not necessarily know who Reeve is.

The movie IS DEDICATED TO REEVE!!! This was said many many times, over a year ago, and has been debated 1000's of times.. Just saying it.... I hope it stands in the begining rather than in the end!!! Much cooler to see it before the movie starts up... like in the first Donner film!

No, because they'd also have to dedicate it to George Reeves, Bud Collyer, and Kirk Alyn, who all played Superman.

 

[Naite22]

Where have you guys been??? The movie IS dedicated to Reeve- the real man of steel... something like that.. Even Singer said this ones.

 

[Milkman95]

Yeah, I believe the film is already dedicated to both Chris and Dana Reeve.

 

[Naite22]

Yeah, I believe the film is already dedicated to both Chris and Dana Reeve.

Now that I haven't thought off.. However it is 110% for sure that the movie is dedicated to Reeve.. but maybe after Dana's death, they changed it so that it'll read "Dedicated in loving memory to Christopher & Dana Reeve" or something.. we'll see.

 

[The Game]

No, because they'd also have to dedicate it to George Reeves, Bud Collyer, and Kirk Alyn, who all played Superman.

Co-sign

But due to Dana Reeve recently passing, they will dedicate this film to her and Chris.

 

[Kane]

Ya I guess Chris deserves a great dedication finally with a great film.

 

[TrailerMusic]

No, because they'd also have to dedicate it to George Reeves, Bud Collyer, and Kirk Alyn, who all played Superman.

Exactly & as nice as it would be I say no because then the Smallville Fans would get pissed that Tom Welling was not included since you know he is not Superman yet & all

 

[Secret_Riddle]

i wud like it dedicated to reeve

 

[Steelsheen]

i thought there was word that Singer was gonna add a kind of memorial to Reeve either before or after the movie

 

[Lightning54SC]

Something that would be cool was if Routh does the infamous fly by at the end like reeve but as hes flying away and smiling blend Reeve head in the background and then have a small dedication comment below, that would bring a tear to the eye, kinda as if its the torch pass down shot!

 

[Cinemaman]

I think they will do that.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

actually they shouldn't do a face..they should just say for chris and dana..we do not need reeve over shadowing the project.

Yep, I remember something was said about this. Probobly Dana's passing will be mentioned as well. Didn't she visit the set?

 

[Steelsheen]

should be kept nice and simple

In Memoriam:
Christopher Reeve 1952-2004​

 

[Lightning54SC]

actually they shouldn't do a face..they should just say for chris and dana..we do not need reeve over shadowing the project.

its a dedication not overshadowing.... i personally think my idea would be done in good taste.... i see no problems with it

 

[Lightning54SC]

also its something the general public would understand

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

^^

It wouldn't work..that last shot of Routh flying over earth and the smile will be a lasting memory shot of him as Superman as it was with Reeve.

i dunno dude, feels too much Reeve-ish

he's already doing the "swoop" around the earth (flies out of the atmosphere, follows the curvature of th planet with his back against it), for the ending there has to be a Routh type of ending unique to him. if he has done such a superb job on the role he deserves to have his own signature ending.

 

[Trooper]

chris wasnt the first but he was the best , i think we can all agreee on that even if he wasnt the best he sure was the perfect template thats for sure, and i think this movie is dedicated to him

but its going to happen for the continuity of the first two.

The smile will be there.

well what would you think would be a good way to sign off then? should me make a thread on this or keep it here?
