Warner Bros. drops Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story trailer with September 21 release date

Warner Bros. has unveiled the official trailer for "Super/Man," a documentary exploring Christopher Reeve's life. 

Matthew Reeve, Christopher’s son, expressed his gratitude for the documentary, highlighting how it offers fresh insights through previously unseen footage and interviews. "It is a gift. We’re so lucky," he told Variety. "We not only have his films to look at but a collection of home movies to dig up and go through and interviews on YouTube of him to pull up. Seeing things I hadn’t seen before didn’t change my perception of him but enhanced it…like some rare Australian interview done in 1977 that was uploaded and I didn’t know existed. It was pretty cool to see that and uncover a lot more material than we knew about."

Variety's chief film critic Owen Gleiberman praised "Super/Man" after its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January, describing it as a "moving, wrenching, compellingly well-made documentary." He noted that while the outlines of Reeve’s story are familiar to many, the film's detailed portrayal provides an absorbing depth.

"Super/Man" is set to screen in select theaters starting September 21, with a special encore presentation on September 25, Reeve’s birthday. A broader theatrical release has yet to be announced.
