Super/Man Max Streaming Release Date Set for Christopher Reeve Documentary
Warner Bros. Discovery has officially set the Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story Max streaming release date, confirming that the documentary will arrive next month.
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story will arrive on Max on December 7, 2024, when the movie will also be available on HBO for subscribers of the cable network. The film had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and also recently took home six Critics Choice Documentary Awards.
The documentary details the aftermath of Superman actor Christopher Reeve‘s unfortunate horse-riding accident which left him paralyzed. This docufilm comes after two decades since his death at the age of 52.
“Following a life-altering accident, Christopher Reeve persevered, inspiring the world by using his fame to speak of hope and change our perception of paralysis, all while remaining a dedicated activist, actor and filmmaker, devoted dad, and loving husband to Dana, the beating heart of the family,” reads the film’s official synopsis.”The documentary features never-before-seen intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material, as well as the first extended interviews ever filmed with Reeve’s three children about their father, and interviews with the A-list Hollywood actors who were Reeve’s colleagues and friends. The film is a moving and vivid cinematic telling of Reeve’s remarkable story.”
The film was directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, who co-wrote the screenplay with Otto Burnham. It features interviews of Reeve’s children Alexandra Reeves Givens, Matthew Reeve, and Will Reeve. Bonhôte, Lizzie Gillett, and Robert Ford were set as producers.
