Warner Bros. to Release Christopher Reeve Documentary

Warner Bros. has announced a wide release for the documentary 'Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story' in October 2024, following its limited engagement earlier this month, which qualifies it for Oscar consideration. The film, directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, portrays Reeve's life after his 1995 horse-riding accident that left him paralyzed, focusing on his resilience, advocacy for individuals with disabilities, and his deep familial relationships. Interviews with Reeve's children reveal the pivotal changes in their connections post-accident, emphasizing the importance of communication and emotional support. The documentary also highlights the significant role of Reeve's late wife, Dana, in his life and legacy. Critics have praised the film for its sensitive exploration of grief and adaptation, offering both a personal and universal narrative. Tickets for the wider release will be available starting October 10, 2024.
