Watching some of the footage, there was a spot where I turned my head and I looked just like him. It's nice, actually. It makes me proud.
I was there early. I think I was reading Atlas Shrugged . He got there, we ordered coffee. He was a little bit nervous and I was a little bit nervous. We just talked for a good hour and a half about the film and so forth.
I mean it allowed me to do that which was fantastic because we really get to see the character mature and deal with some things that are, that I think as an audience member, really pull us in.
But as far as, for I think it will be amazing you know where I find myself years from now because of this film. It's just amazing, I think everybody's going to kind of know this film and because of it, me. So I you know it's crazy.
You want to keep it in there because you feel like it's yours but to be able to see that sometimes some stuff needs to go and I think it's for the benefit of the film.
My interests were in fantasy more than comics growing up.
If I become defensive and upset right away, then that's going to adversely affect how I deal with it and it's probably not going to be good press for me and probably be bad just because I'm angry. Just be open and pleasant.
Bryan says in some scenes, I'm the spitting image of Chris. Even my intonations of a line. But other times, it's completely different. It comes and goes, which is pretty exciting to me.
If I really sat down and thought about all the possible implications, the good, amazing things it could mean, you could go a little crazy.
I don't know that I can compare myself to anyone. The film is different, and therefore the character is different. This is just one more version that's based on everybody else's, with just a few tweaks that I bring.
I've been on the telethon before, when I was a freshman in high school swing choir, and I sang at 5 in the morning. So, it's nice to come back and co-host or speak.
Well I'm Superman, just not action. I'm kind of looking for something with a lot less action and more talking and listening. I also have a film that's premiering Vegas Film Festival, short film, directed by Joel Kelly, it's called Denial and it's a story, short film, 35 mm short film and it's about a man's struggle to choose between the woman of his dreams and his reality, so it's definitely different than Superman. So I'm really proud of that.
Christopher Reeve did such an amazing job that to give him some kind of accent or more bravado would have been wrong. Audiences wouldn't have responded to that either.
But so long as we can keep this crew of fantastic people together and can continue to make real breakthrough films in this category, as well as characters that stay true to what we've done in this first film, I'd be more than happy to be a part of it.
