We've got an exclusive look at the "holy grail" of superhero footage from the development of the Tim Burton Superman movie that never was. Titled "Superman Lives," the late 1990s project may be dead, but the Burton Superman shall live on forever in our hearts and minds in this video of Nic Cage doing stretches in his tight, shiny Superman suit.
The footage is from the documentary "The Death of 'Superman Lives': What Happened?" created by director Jon Schnepp in hopes of finding out what derailed this legendary unmade film. Schnepp interviewed (just about) everyone associated with "Superman Lives," from costume designer Colleen Atwood and the director’s assistant Derek Frey (both seen in the above clip) to director Tim Burton.
