October 10, 2010: Never-Made Superman Movies Examined
MovieFone.com takes a look back at some past attempts at creating a Superman movie that never made it to the big screen.
- Casting for the classic 1978 'Superman' starring Christopher Reeve and directed by Richard Donner was not a simple process. The search took four years, and everyone and his brother was on the short list to play the Man of Steel.
Seventies superstars James Caan, Dustin Hoffman (who also turned down the part of Lex Luthor), Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen and Al Pacino were all considered. Paul Newman turned down the parts of Supes, his father and Luthor. Neil Diamond, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone all campaigned to get the job, but none of them were considered. Even Muhammad Ali was in the discussion! Amazingly, one man who actually got to audition for the part in 1976 was Olympic gold medal decathlon athlete (and future plastic surgery enthusiast) Bruce Jenner.
