Superman

March 1, 2003: Harrison Ellenshaw Talks Superman Movie

MovieHole caught up with Harrison Ellenshaw, who was the Visual Effects Supervisor on both "Tron" and "Superman IV". The interview mostly discusses "Tron" and the up-coming sequel to the 1982 original, but also discusses his thoughts on the up-coming new "Superman" movie. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

Q: As the visual effects supervisor on the last "Superman" film - "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" - what do you think holds in store for Brett Ratner's upcoming remake?

A: I imagine this sequel/remake should be pretty good. It's easy to see what NOT to do by looking at some parts of the earlier sequels. My only hope is that they return to the real essence of what Superman is. He is an icon, not just another comic book hero. Superman is very American, very unique; you have to be very true to his origins and understand what makes him different than all the other superheroes - not an easy task for any scriptwriter. I wish them good luck.
