February 3, 2003: Christopher Reeve Consulting on New Superman Movie

TV Guide Online have published an article about the up-coming Superman movie, with comments from Christopher Reeve on his opinions and his involvement with the new movie. Here's an excerpt from the article...

Who would Reeve choose to succeed him as Lois Lane's lover? "In my opinion," he says, "the character is more important than the actor who plays him, because it is an enduring mythology. I'm sure that they'll cast appropriately, and take their time and find the right person. But it definitely should be an unknown." That said, Reeve adds that "[Smallville's Tom Welling would] be an ideal candidate. I don't know if [he] can switch from one job to the other, but I'm sure they'd figure it out!"

Reeve says producer Jon Peters scrapped the original Superman vs. Batman idea after seeing his son Matthew's documentary, Christopher Reeve: Courageous Steps. "The positive message of that made him [think], 'Why should we have two superheroes against each other?'" Reeve explains. "So the movie that Warner Bros. is making now - which I will be doing some consulting on - will be a much more uplifting and spiritual story. I was really blown away that they completely decided to change the process."
