seriously when will this be made?
Also I really hate to say this but is anyone here kind of glad he passed away in 2004?
If Reeve were still alive today he's still be in a wheelchair and have spent 20 years confined to it and be nearly a senior citizen. There's no way at all he'd have any hope left since we're still nowhere near a cure for paralysis.

Wow! That was amazing. Although some people probably thought it was in poor taste.

In all seriousness Chris should be played by Only Reeve People... his son's Matt or Will Reeve.

There's no way at all he'd have any hope left since we're still nowhere near a cure for paralysis. If he was able to hold it together as long as he did---- it's hard to know what his condition would have been mentally, though I know I doubt I could have lasted more than a day or so after his accident. Superman indeed to have kept it together as long as he did... Had he lived, he might have helped generate some kind of progress going with his efforts, even if not a cure for paralysis.

On a far more superficial note:
It would have been interesting to have got Reeve's impressions on both Returns and MOS and the glut of other superhero films of the last 10 years.

Yeah i wish he were still alive and also would have wanted him to contribute to the Donner Cut, SR, MOS, etc. However, I just feel that 20 + years in the chair would have been too much. If he were alive now there would be no point in holding out hope that he'd walk again

If he were alive now there would be no point in holding out hope that he'd walk again I'll share that I was in a serious surgery (though not as bad as Reeve) where I had stuff down my throat, nose, and arm, and couldn't move or else I'd yank out the needles/etc. that felt like sheer torture and captivity, tough to breathe, can't move an inch, in pain, and conscious --- FIVE MINUTES would have felt like too much to me, let alone all that time Reeve was in that chair. I can't imagine (and don't want to) what a day- let alone a year (or years). That he chose not to end his life and keep going and focused, writing books and whatnot- amazing. We don't know how he would have managed with another 20. Hard to say, but maybe even one minute after that accident in that chair, I would have asked to be put out of my misery myself.

Reeve was certainly an inspiring hero that he went on and did great work after his accident. I think that as big of a real life hero Reeve was post accident.. his wife Dana was that much more a hero so she was truly the Super-person. I just think that a few years into the 2000's Reeve really deteriorated physically because that time was do-or-die for him. He had to be cured shortly after 50 or it was never going to happen. He was so active and independent so it was so hard for him.... I think that keeping living with the accident under 10 years made it bearable and he could think of it as a temporary situation for several years. Once it would have been 10+ years post accident plus senior citizenship approaching it would have been too much I believe.

It's a shame he never got to see his youngest son grow up or his son have a father during some very formative years so yeah I'm sad he died despite his condition. I think there was still reason enough for him to live. Sometimes a fathers words alone can mean the world to a child. I'd also love to hear his opinion on what Marvels done in the last few years. heck he was alive for Xmen X2 Spider-Man 1 and 2 so I'd even love hear his thoughts on those.
As for a movie on his life? Yeah I think it'll happen eventually. I'm shocked it hasn't already at least as a TV movie. It's too interesting a story to not do as long as his family and estate approves.

I wonder if Donner would direct that- or if it'd just be too painful for him, as Donner still tears up to this day talking about Reeve.

The movie should be called "Getting back on the horse: The Story of Christopher Reeve".
