Excellent find Metallo Great to see the fans responding to the presence of Reeve and Prior. SIII was still an event movie in it's production.....what ended up on the screen may have belied that. |

Superman III special hosted by Leonard Nimoy. Great find, but.... for some reason, is it just me, or does Chris Reeve seem a bit sad while talking about the film that he's making? I know there was an article after the movie had come out where Reeve was a bit irritated at some aspects of production (We do know he wasn't crazy about Superman having to share the story with Richard Pryor's character, and I don't blame him- the creators were just trying to cash in on Pryor's popularity to the expense of focusing on Superman in III)- but, I didn't expect to feel this vibe even he's in an on-set interview. He's cordial and all, but (and maybe it's just me) this interview feels different from the other interviews he had done for SII and STM... |

Lester and the producers weeds cheap bastards I don't fault trying to save money.... if the movie doesn't suffer for it. Lester wanted to do a Mel Brooks-like comedy with SII and SIII. While I love Lester's Three Musketeers (which had a lot of humor in it)- to this day, I just don't think he was the right guy to direct a Superman movie in the way that Donner had set the standard. I'd be suprised if Reeve had asked Lester to come back for IV- but it's telling that he went to Donner and Mank rather than Lester to try to restore quality. |

Lester was obsessed about doing things on the cheap. Superman 3 looks like a made for TV movie. It’s aged far worse than STM and S2. Lester was so darn cheap he didn’t even buy a shirt and directed the whole movie shirtless forcing the cast and crew to view his hairy chest all day. This was workplace harassment and Lester should be cancelled. |
