Look, Up In The Sky!

I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago and now the documentary "Look, Up In The Sky" has officially released.

To be honest, this is mostly a paid promo piece for the upcoming "Superman Returns" but it does contain some great retrospective on the past Supermen of film and TV. The cover features (clockwise) Brandon Routh, Christopher Reeve, the animated Superman from the 40's, George Reeve, and Dean Cain. Notably missing is (at least on the cover) Kirk Alyn but since his Superman was only black and white, it probably would have thrown off the presentation.

The preview trailer that was released look
ed very nice and it seems to be a must have for Superman fans. Amazon is selling this for under $10 but wait!! Best Buy is selling a limited edition version for $19.99 that contains a bonus disc, 5 frameable art prints of all 5 Superman movie posters (yes, even the Richard Pryor one) and a "cool, retro sleeve packaging". How you do retro on a DVD is beyond me.

By the way, once I watch this, I'll post my retrospective on the men who played Superman to bookend my piece on Lois Lane. If you missed it, check it out here.
