With yesterday’s news of the passing of “Superman: The Movie” director Richard Donner, tributes have been posted online from those who worked with him and those whose work was inspired by him. Here is a small selection of those tributes…

Warner Bros. – Rest in peace to legendary Director, Richard Donner. Thank you for helping us all believe a man can fly.

Amblin – Steven Spielberg reflects on the passing of Richard Donner, friend, and beloved director of THE GOONIES for Amblin Entertainment, who passed away today at 91.

Zack Snyder – Thank you, Richard Donner. You made me believe.

Patty Jenkins – I loved Richard Donner as person, and massively admired him as a director. To think he made The Omen, Superman, The Goonies and Lethal Weapon in just over 10 years time, and many more. Stunning. Truly one of the greatest American filmmakers of all time. He will be sorely missed.

JA Bayona – Over the years I knew I didn’t want to be Superman: I wanted to be Richard Donner. And thanks to him, I am who I am today. Rest In Peace.

Jay Oliva – RIP Richard Donner. You inspired this kid to explore the world of superheroes.

Dan Jurgens – So sad to hear of Richard Donner’s passing. I will never forget sitting in the theater, watching the credits, knowing something special was coming. Pulled me into the movie and character both. And this is still one of the all time best movie ads ever.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson – I chose my path in life largely due to Richard Donner, John Williams, and Christopher Reeve. RIP, sir. Your impact was immeasurable. #Superman

Tom Taylor – Thank you for my heroes, Richard Donner. Thank you for Superman, for Lois, and for making us believe a man can fly.

Jay Towers – Look how the cast of Superman loved Richard Donner.

Ande Parks – Operating in a pressure cooker of absurd studio and producer demands, Richard Donner made a Superman film that showed us all how comics’ most important icon could speak to the world in a voice of compassion and genuine heroism. Goodspeed, sir.

Ilya Salkind – Very sad news today Richard Donner passed away. Tremendous loss … I’m devastated. Condolences and sincere sympathies to Lauren & his entire family. All of our love.

Richard Donner made MAGIC. I can’t put it any other way.
