- One of the most anticipated documentary premieres at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival is “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story,” which tracks the eponymous star’s rise to Hollywood icon and the near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Reeve’s children - Will, Matthew and Alexandra - appear as subjects in the movie and joined the Variety Studio presented by Audible to discuss their father’s legacy.

There will never be a better Superman then Christopher Reeve never
And clark Kent
Agreed. I haven't seen a better one yet-no do I ever expect, to There have been other actors who I liked as Superman( like Dean Cain, Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill) and I do look forward to seeing David Corenswet as the new Superman but I also don't think that there will ever be a better Superman than Christopher Reeve!
Christopher was a gift to this world from God. He was the best of America in every way. Every time I see Will on ABC I tear up. He is America’s kid much as JFK Jr. was. A much loved family.
Exactly!👌
And that’s a fact
My fav anecdote was when Reeve was having coffee near Central Park. He saw a guy steal his bicycle. Reeve chased him on foot. The thief fell in a gutter, cowered down, looked up and blurted, "Oh no! Superman"
😂
"Somewhere in Time" is one of my favorite movies. A beautiful film. Thank you!
I agree and I never understood how it was considered mediocre by the critics.
Just watched it again last week and it is absolutely a tear jerker
Mine too!
The children represent their father so well. He would be proud.
No shade. And their Mother. ❤
@@RoyalMasterpieceYes, Dana Reeves❤
@@RoyalMasterpiece Well, they have different mothers( Matthew and Alexandra have the same mother, Gae Exton-Christopher Reeve's former partner and Will's mother is the late actress and singer, Dana Reeve, Christopher's wife) but they absolutely represent their father so well and their mothers, too( I don't know if Matthew and Alexandra's mother is still alive, though, maybe someone else would know).
@@JR-ju3kjI believe she is
Will looks so much like his dad .
Alexandra has her father’s eyes
Yes he sure does!!!!!!!!❤
True and Matthew not as much but their profiles were so much alike.
@@egb50000Alexandra looks a lot like him too. It’s harder to see because she’s female and colors her hair light. But she has his skin coloring and facial features. Will has his body shape and close to his size.
She her mother's eyes, she looks like her mother.@@egb50000
Fabulous interviewer. He asked really important questions, didn’t interrupt the subjects. Rare these days.
What a great family. Such class and intelligence.
Will Reeve could be Superman. He really could.
Agreed! He's got the journalism part of Clark Kent down and looks very much like his father. If he toned up a bit the same way Chris did back in the 70's he'd be perfect.
My goodness....his shoulders! Yes, he definitely has that look.
He even sounds like his dad. 😊
What do you "toned up"? Dude's bigger than his father was. @@SBatts-rd9kg
Do we really need more nepo babies getting the biggest movie roles?
I saw Christopher Reeve on the subway when he was in a Broadway show. This was soon after Superman. I looked up from my knitting and we met eyes. He knew I recognized him and quickly looked away. Needless to say I didn’t betray him… he rode to his destination as any other rider.
Christopher Reeve has to be one of the most polite, kind celebrities I've ever encountered (living in Manhattan & LA). Last time I saw him was on a flight from JFK-LAX (or vice versa? it's been so long) and he was taking his riding boots out of the overhead bin as he was deplaning.
I don't give a crap about celebrity or fame. I care about empathy, human decency, and kindness and that's why Christopher Reeve stands out in my mind. He didn't deserve that fate and people like Harvey Weinstein were still walking around Hollywood destroying women's lives. smh Makes you question life sometimes.
Donald Trump is one of the most kind and polite celebrities I have ever met.
People forget that Christopher Reeve made so many great movies apart from Superman.
Somewhere in Time
Deathtrap
Street Smart
The Bostonians
Village of the Dammed
Remains of the Day
Plus TV movies he made
Bump in the Night
Above Suspicion
Nightmare in the Daylight
Death Dreams
Mortal Sins
The Rose and the Jackal
Black Fox
In The Gloaming (Directed by Christopher Reeve)
dont forget remains of the day
Somewhere in Time is one of his best too.
Deathtrap is just so good. A real gem.
@OneAndOnlyMe It was only a few months back that I watched Somewhere in Time. The only reason I watched it was because of TikToc, I was seeing clips all over TikTok. So I bought a digital copy of the movie. I loved the movie so much that I went and bought a physical copy.
Don’t forget “In The Gloaming.” Granted, he wasn’t in the movie, but he did direct it. While in that wheelchair. And it was most impressive.
Somewhere in time is still one of my favorites!
I can't wait to see this documentary. Christopher Reeve is one of my childhood heroes.
The way he played Clark was flawless, authentic, and vulnerable. We all think it is about Superman, but what makes Superman real is the contrast between the two roles, and Reeves nailed it.
THIS
He deserves a academy award for that performance
The clip of him straightening up was great showing the physical contrast ;)
He would be so proud of these wonderful children of his ! And Dana would be so proud of Will! ❤
Wow, 20 years since his death. Will looks so much like his father.
Christopher Reeve will always be, The "Superman" literally and figuratively in the character he played in the movies. His humanity is what still resonates with me. Grateful for his example, he was a wonderful guy, period!
i love the fact that he knew what happen to him was a freak accident and he never went after horses or any animal. And he was a in the front lines of helping other disabled and others who had horse accidents. And his sons look just like him even the one almost looks spot on
Yeah the horse wasn’t at fault, he was a good rider and loved horses
What a delightful interview! Kudos to Matthew, Alexandra, and Will for being such amazing legacies through their charitable work. Christopher and Dana would be extremely proud!
Christopher Reeve deserves a academy award for his performance as Clark Kent/superman made me believe as they were both fantastic performances
My fave non-Superman film of his is " Somewhere in Time". A female friend of mine told me once she didn't like sci-fi, so I pointed her to that movie. She loved it. She cried so much, and she realised that SF isn't just robots and lazer guns.
I only have eyes for those three beautiful people. My heart is full when I see brothers together. The most important thing. Family. ❤❤❤
I had the fortune of meeting Christopher and Dana at Dana’s 20th high school reunion in White Plains. I was able to talk to him for a bit. He was so optimistic about a cure, described trials that were being done and he was happy to be there for his wife at her reunion. I left the event feeling incredibly hopeful. I was crushed when his vision and the cure he needed was not realized during his lifetime. I’m looking forward to seeing this documentary. ❤
Will looks a lot like His Dad!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I loved Christopher Reeve as Superman. Made me really sad as a kid seeing what happened to him. He was my Superman ❤
This is really lovely to see his children involved in this and i can't wait to watch it. Will is a handsome guy 😍
Got a strange feeling that I am watching three superheroes disguise as humans in this interview…😂
They have their fathers face structure
Reeve and Helen Slater were so well cast as Superman and Supergirl -- and brought tremendous charm to their respective roles. It's a shame that we never saw a Superman & Supergirl movie, but it was great to see those characters together in the Flash.
They seem remarkably well adjusted, at least from what you can judge in a short interview, given the trauma they must have went through in their childhood's.
What lovely kids. Will in particular. He lost both his parents by the time he was 13 but had been very close to his siblings. He was also cared for by another family that promised Dana they would love and bring him up.
16, and Robin Williams was Chris's best friend that helped Will after they died.@@RossiSenn
He was hilarious in "Noises Off." And in "Deathtrap" he is devilishly good... one of my favorite movies. To me, he IS Superman because I was like 10 when it came out... but I've only re-watched it a handful of times. Maybe time for a watch.
Will is Christophers twin. Happy to see they shared their Father’s story. 🙏🏼♥️✨
Christopher Reeve was such a kind person and his wife and children were so strong through their father's spinal cord injury and Christopher's coping with it all was inspirational to everyone and especially other people who cope with spinal cord injury. I want to see this film. I hope that some day they will have a cure and I am sure strides have been made.
Will is stunning. He looks like he could play Superman.
They represent their father well!
Christopher would have been so proud of his children❤.
He will be my superman forever! ❤
Will is his father’s twin 😢
Year my mom past away 1995 i feel old super man Christopher reeves never be forgotten rest in peace we love u so much super man
Oh wow! His son looks so much like his father. Its hard to watch him. Its crazy.
my god.. Will Reeves looks so much like his father… he will make an excellent Superman!
He is working for abc news... especially good morning America
Yes. Yes. Remains of the Day!!! I absolutely loved him in that role. He was so natural and believable. I loved his acting.
Alexandra reminds one of a younger Caroline Kennedy. Similar styles and approaches.
The youngest son looks so much like his father ❤
We saw the original Superman movie in a huge theater on its opening day. The audience was stoked and stood to cheer when the movie ended! That was so thrilling!
I cannot wait to see this. Beautiful family Christopher and Dana created.
Only Will is hers
Oh my--when I saw the Superman movie in theaters--the first time we saw him change from Clark to Superman everyone broke out in loud cheering for at least several minutes--couldn't hear the dialogue! It was an incredible experience!
Will looks so much like his Dad
I am so excited for this documentary. I hope it spends some time focusing on Christopher Reeve's beautiful passing of the Superman torch to Tom Welling in his role as Virgil Swann on Smallville.
It was so sad she died of cancer not long as her husband and Will was left an orphan at only 13.
That's definitely one of my favorite TV moments ever, especially when that score finally sneaks in!
16.@@peachygal4153
I love your dad is Superman but but I also love him in the movie somewhere in time that’s a love story that I fell in love with as well rest in peace, Christopher Reeve you will always be the truth Superman to me
Wow, 20 years already. May Christopher and Dana rip
You know the incredible people and parents both Christopher and Dana Reeve were by their children. Such classy, empathetic, compassionate and intelligent people. Their parents raised them well. Will is the spitting image of his dad. While it's unfortunate that both of those extraordinary people are no longer with us, it's a blessing to the world that they left a piece of themselves that lives on through their children and their foundation.
Can't wait!, the children are the reflection of the parents, Mr. Reeve wasn't only a Superman on screen but also a real Superman in the family 💖, what a dignity man indeed 🙏✨..
Somewhere in Time!
My deepest gratitude to Reeve's children for putting their efforts and faith into this project.
Christopher Reeve's portrayal of the Man of Steel made such a huge impact on me as a child that I can say, without pretense, Superman became the North Star of my moral compass.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing this documentary.
Will looks the most like Chris, the sister has Chris' jawline but the other brother looks more like his mom probably.
The sister looks like the mother too, she looks nothing like Chris
hope Christopher and Robin Williams are looking down while enjoying each other company as they were best friends in life
Christopher Reeve the best Superman,and a very good actor❤❤❤.
His sons may not look like him but still gorgeous in their own way.
His SON does look like him, Will could be his twin. The other two don't.
Will is just straight up a copy + paste of his Dad.
The kids have it together. Respect.
Wow. He looks SOOOO much like Chris.
Will is so handsome and has really big hands. I would love to see him play his dad's role in somewhere in time...
I am so happy to see this. Thanks.
I remember the day the full page black and white newspaper ad dropped. Right in the middle of the page was this enigmatic gray figure standing with a steely gaze. It was surreal. Felt like Superman had truly arrived Earth.
Sweet..can't wait for it ! ❤
OMG how proud their parents would be!!
The thing that sucked about the CGI cameo in The Flash (outside of them doing it without the family's permission - really sleazy of WB and the filmmakers) is that it missed the essential quality of Reeve's Superman: He was always emoting. Joy, fear, worry, sadness, despair, concern... You always knew what Reeve's Superman was thinking because you could read it on his face. The Superman we see in The Flash is just a stone-faced simulacrum that's like NO performance Reeve ever gave.
Like the movie specialy the moment Reeve came on but i fall of my chair laughing when they show Nicolas Cage as superman...
Without their permission is really skeezy, Disney at least asked the families permission before using people’s images in Star Wars
Massive respect for using the word “simulacrum.” Exactly.
Well, We Blow are nothing if not consistent about how they treat EVERYTHING Superman related. They honestly thought that desperately sticking Chris in there somewhere, was going to get them more moviegoers. The CG Chris in the Flash should probably have just been the crap that Cavill played, he never has any emotions.
The movie was trash.@@peterang6912
He went to Chile way before his accident as a HH.RR. advocate during Pinochet's dictatorship. So his daughter is right. That sentiment, that idea was always there. People who met him in that visit had an excellent impression of him and recall how humble, empathetic and warm he was.
He is amazing in remains of the day.
I love Somewhere In Time
Will is the spitting image! Wow!! 🥲
His son looks so much like his father.❤
Wow real Kryptonians!😯
Anyone know when the documentary gets a wide release (outside of Sundance)?
I'm so glad Ian mentioned DEATHTRAP (1982); that remains one of my all-time favorites! Such a great mystery/crime/comedy.
I could watch that once a week and never get bored... it's my favorite role of his.
@@EricaGamet I keep trying to get CZcams's budding cinephiles to react to it... they don't know what they're missin'!
@@auntvesuvi3872 I bet Awkward Ashleigh would do it... she watches and loves a lot of old stuff. Now I'm trying to remember if she already did. She might also really like Noises Off, too.
@@EricaGamet I think she'd happily do it if enough people requested it. That's usually how she chooses... titles get put up for Patreon supporters to vote on. Perhaps someday?
@@auntvesuvi3872 Fingers crossed!
*Will Reeve Is The Image Of His Father, He Should Definitely Put On The Cape And Play Superman - His Father Would Of Been Proud* 😊😊
The daughter looks exactly like Christopher Reeve. Wow. Her features got my attention right from the thumbnail.
You need glasses. She looks like her mother, Will looks like his father's twin.
Guy in the grey cardigan could play Superman
He is his son
Will
Thank you❤🎉❤
I am sure he is very proud of his kids ,what a nice bunch !
Can’t wait to watch.
The Flash cameo was awesome! And finally seeing his Superman with Supergirl is a dream come true.
Will Reeve talking about emotional presence. Wow, he is incredible. So are his siblings.
She has such a strong resemblance to her father.
Glasses? Will is.
Cannot wait to see this ❤Also. as much as Will does not want to focus on Superman..every time i look at him that's all i could think of! He IS Superman so much like his dad . He would be so proud of these 3 humans❤
A courageous story well told .RIP MR REEVE -- man with a good heart ,not just MAN OF STEEL.
No denying those genetics 😅
Christopher was truly Loved by audiences for all his roles. Your Mom gave him support. You should all be proud of their sacrifices. I hated the way of his passing, but I have no control over God’s timing.
Excited to see the film.❤❤❤
These children are beautiful! Especially the daughter!!!!
Will is remarkably well adjusted for being an orphan
He will always be my only Superman.
I thought it unbelievable he passed and then his wife passed I believe two or three years later? Crazy sad .
1 year later.
I love Christopher Reeve Superman picture with please 😊❤
Best friend in the world
The one of the left reminds me of Brandon Routh, which goes to show how perfectly casted Brandon was.
They never watched it and PLEASE NEVER WILL!
quero assistir muitas vezes esse doc
C. Reeve forever...
When’s it available to watch?
I just noticed that his eldest son Matthew changes from English to American accents. Nice to hear how proud Reeve’s kids are of their father. Sign of a great parent.
Will looks just like his dad but he has his mothership eyes
When will be out and will it be streaming or dvd?
will should be superman !
