Superstars: The Extended Version

This film is a real look at the making of this beloved classic. Long time fans as well as those new to the JCS phenom will see the stars now and then and remember those who have passed. Defiantly worth the watch !

It is a great musical!

I love it. And I saw him play the part here in the Netherlands a few times.

If you're a JCS fan, you will love this. Although it doesn't include songs from the film (you can play that anytime you want), it's a close-up look at the making of the film and what it meant to them. Most of all, it's great to see everyone together again. Ted Neeley, Yvonne Elliman, Bob Bingham, Larry Marshall, Kurt Yaghijian, Josh Mostel and the late great Barry Dennen. You can feel the love there is among these people, and Carl Anderson is with them in spirit as they have his picture during the Q&A prominent for all to remember him, and a segment honoring him towards the end. Most of all, the words from Norman Jewison and the cast telling us stories of the making of the movie caps this film with wonderful tales. No doubt Jewison is a genius. Yvonne Elliman graces us with a little of her beautiful voice, still strong and vibrant after all these years, and the talented Ted Neeley pulls it all together with just his presence and his unbounding love for all, and his appreciation for the film that defined his career. This is a must see for lovers of music and film.

I have to say that the trailer is misleading for a complete different thing. Semi-amateur/professional documentation, mostly of memories and interviews - More of a tribute than a real actual 'making of' the film. Interesting to watch, very moving and heartfully insight from the people who are/were part of this. Since it's a worldwide streaming, (at least English) subtitles would be much appreciated. Still, precious it is.

If you are a mega fan of Jesus Christ Superstar, like myself, the extended version of "Superstars" is a must see! The interviews and reunion with the cast and director (then and now) give you insight into the making of the movie and also reveals how much the cast and director think of each other. The beautiful tributes at the end for the late Barry Dennen and Carl Anderson will warm your heart. A big thumbs up!
