December 6, 2012: A Look Back in Time with JJ Abrams at "Superman Flyby"

Superman Flyby MediaGeekNetwork.com has republished an interview conducted with JJ Abrams back in 2002 when he was in the process of completing his screenplay for the never-made Superman film known as "Superman Flyby". Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    MEDIA GEEK NETWORK: From what I've gathered from people I've spoken to in the past, producer Jon Peters isn't much of a fan of the Superman costume or the image of Superman flying. This, of course, begs the question: why bother making a Superman movie?

    ABRAMS: It's safe to say that if Superman doesn't fly, it would be a disappointment. I do think that we're approaching this in a very fresh way, but there are certain things that people have come to realize are important. You have to have the costume and you want to do a Superman movie that will be so satisfying. I'm so sick of going to big blockbuster movies and leaving feeling like I died a little bit, like, "Oh my God, how disappointing was that?" What's so exciting for us is that we're approaching this thing knowing and feeling the kind of movie that as kids we used to see. I feel that we're going to try as hard as we can to make this a satisfying experience.

It's interesting to read this old interview and compare what he said to interviews recently conducted for "Man of Steel". Also interesting is the comparison between the "Flyby" costume design concepts and the one being worn by Henry Cavill.
