It was very important. I mean I have four brothers, so we used to run around and play
Superman. And I would play Superman as well, and it definitely was a part of my understanding
of the world. I loved Superman. I really had a huge crush on Christopher Reeve.
When I first met him I read with him and I knew him from the Tudors, so I knew what his
physical presence was. But when I met him and he had such a wonderful humility to him
and a gentle quality an almost old-fashioned gentleman quality and I though wow, thats
really gonna bring something specific and beautiful to the role of Superman. I think
he really does.
I was exited by it and I really liked it. And talking to Zack, he really wanted me to
feel like a reporter who was like kind of transient and moving around and sort of like
on the the ground and getting yourself in trouble but not causing trouble but just,
you know, going after the story and feeling like a modern journalist.
I like the really dangerous stuff be taken care of by the stunt woman, make no mistake,
I am not gonna like ratchet my face into a wall, I have no desire. But there was a lot of falling
and a lot of stunt work I did with Henry on the wirework. I did get to kick somebody,
that was fun. I had a little bit of a fight sequence. They did such a great job choreographing
it but it is, its a very strange thing the first day I worked with Henry I was we were
about 40, 50 feet above the air in Chicago or in a plane in Illinois just strapped to
each other so that creates an immediate sort of forced intimacy. Like right there, Hey,
how are you doing, how is it been going, trying to act completely relaxed while strapped to
Superman 40 feet above the earth.
Du wirst den Menschen ein leuchtendes Beispiel sein. Sie werden dir nacheifern, und am Ende
wirst du ihnen helfen Wunder zu vollbringen.
I think that we identify with him, we want to be him I mean just like, I used to run
around, you know, as I was saying, playing Superman. There is something wonderful about
having that power. You know, I think as human beings we can feel so powerless and this idea
that there is something we could actually do to help other people or actually do to
save humanity, that would be really wonderful. I would love to have that ability.
