otice take the gentleman’s cake
there’s a lot you don’t know about the
Man of Steel on the big screen I don’t
think he wants me to mr. Luthor welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down ten pieces of Superman
movie trivia Lois Lane say hello to
Clark Kent told you our team is number
ten
casting Christopher Reeve beginning our
list is a factoid about the quest to
select an actor for this iconic role
despite the fact that he was perfect in
the role Christopher Reeve wasn’t a
shoo-in for the part and numerous other
actors were considered over 21 including
Arnold Schwarzenegger the unknown Reeve
was finally cast after Robert Redford
demanded too much money Clint Eastwood
became unavailable and James Caan
refused to wear the skin tight spandex
outfit all we can say is that we’re
relieved things happen the way they did
bad vibrations oh just how fast you fly
by the way number nine Superman flight
when the original Superman began
pre-production no one knew how to make
Superman fly convincingly the team tried
everything from catapulting and dummy
into the air to piloting a
remote-control model and even making
animated sequences ultimately they
settled on forward projection while
using zoom lenses to create the illusion
of movement while the actor remains
stationary safe here son who is that
silver then number eight Lex Luthor Lex
Luthor the greatest criminal mind of our
time I hear my term naughty seven goes
to you at these walls you shut up please
you write that way following the
original film’s release Gene Hackman
became famous for his portrayal of the
villain is that how a warped brain like
yours gets its kicks by planning a death
of innocent people no by causing the
death of innocent people
however he Denisha Lee resisted the job
for two reasons he was worried it
damaged his rep as a serious actor and
he didn’t want to shave his mustache he
flat-out refused to shave his head
though so his natural hair was styled
differently between scenes to suggest he
was wearing wigs
when CS dam thorn number seven the S
symbol s not an s audiences have always
accepted that the S on Superman’s chest
stands for well Superman but Marlon
Brando suggested that his character
Supes father jor-el wear the same symbol
on Krypton because of this addition the
s symbol became accepted as Superman’s
Kryptonian family crest depicting the
house of L in 2013’s Man of Steel the
symbol was redefined again to represent
hope my world at Mito
well here it’s a mess how about see
excuse me you do not remember me
number six Marlon Brando having children
speaking of Brando the legendary actor
was paid 3.7 million dollars and a
percentage of the profits to play jor-el
over just 12 shooting days but he
refused to memorize his lines and
instead read them off things like the
infant kal-el’s diaper when several of
his scenes were reused in the sequels
Brando happily sued producers for his
share and brought his total compensation
up to 14 million dollars for ten minutes
of footage a chance for life nonetheless
number five glowing Kryptonian clothing
another major contribution to Superman
lore was the film’s alien depiction of
Krypton
with the defining element being the
glowing otherworldly look of the
costumes to achieve this effect the
wardrobe department painstakingly sewed
tiny glass balls to the fabric made from
the same reflective material used to
produce movie screens however this was a
fragile effect because simply the oily
touch from actor’s hands was enough to
ruin it I will remain silent
number four Superman’s costume excuse me
that’s so bad that wasn’t the only
costume complication Superman spandex
outfit was originally supposed to be a
much darker blue however that blue
matched the color of the special effects
screens so the costume basically
disappeared because of the limitations
of 1978 technology the costume also
appeared turquoise during many flying
sequences eventually the suit was
darkened and in 2013 it was dramatically
revised for men of steel number three
Superman force slashed budget
this movie’s original budget was 36
million dollars but that was soon
dropped to 17 million as a result the
filmmakers were forced to cut corners by
reusing special effects one cheap effect
they used was to conceal Christopher
Reeves flying harness under a larger
version of his shorts
however this made his waist look bigger
leading to the lasting impression that
he gained weight I’ll break my foot off
in your ass woman number two The Fresh
Prince of Steel we mentioned that
numerous actors were pursued to play the
Man of Steel back in the 70s producers
of Superman Returns aimed to reinvent
the hero by casting Will Smith among
others however Smith declined explaining
he was worried the tampering with the
hero’s depiction would damage his career
two years later Hollywood did make him
fly in Hancock
you will give the people of Earth an
ideal to strive towards number one the
new Man of Steel rounding out our list
is another piece of trivia about 2013’s
Man of Steel brandon ralph expressed
interest in reprising his role from
Superman Returns but Warner Brothers
decided on a fresh reboot and cast Henry
Cavill instead incredibly cavil had to
beef up from scratch since he’d
intentionally lost the 8-pack he’d
