Superman has always meant strength and speed and power - someone you can count on. But more, it's a feeling of joy... and hope. In what is certainly one of the most ambitious motion picture projects of all time, we are bringing to the screen the most spectacular adventure of all time. Superlatives are bandied around Hollywood much too freely these days, but our film truly is movie-making in its grandest sense, with all the ingredients multiplied by a thousand. Everyone will be able to enjoy it and relate to it in some way. Everybody wants to fly, to be free... to be really on top of the world - hopefully, a good world.
