In this very special Between Takes episode of Missing Frames, legendary director Richard Donner joins Shawn to discuss Superman's 40th anniversary. Along the way, they discuss:
  • The motivation behind Donner's decision to take Superman seriously and to treat the source material with respect.

  • How Donner convinced the amazing screenwriter and director Tom Mankiewicz to join his quest to bring Superman to the big screen. (Spoiler alert: it involves marijuana and a Superman suit)

  • Working with the incredible cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth and production designer John Barry to craft the film's unique visuals.

  • Meeting Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder for the first time and how they won Donner over.
    ​
  • Whether or not Donner ever got around to checking out Superman II, III or IV.

You'll also hear the incredible story of how Donner helped get Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster out of a tough spot as well as their reactions to the film.
