Requiem for Krypton: Making 'Superman Returns'

Filmmakers and actors navigate the four-year journey of resurrecting an icon. The camera trails Bryan Singer as he seeks a delicate balance between honoring Richard Donner's classic and imprinting his own vision. We witness Kate Bosworth stepping into Lois Lane's shoes and Brandon Routh's physical metamorphosis into the Man of Steel through grueling preparation. The documentary captures the monumental efforts of production designers building Metropolis from the ground up and the painstaking craftsmanship behind visual effects meant to make audiences believe a man can fly.
