He was born on the planet Krypton. But the Man of Steel comes to life in California, inside an edit room in Burbank. It's there that James Gunn is reviewing a scene from what Warner Brothers hopes is a summer blockbuster: "Superman." With a reported budget of at least $225 million, it arrives in theaters July 11. It's the first feature from DC Studios, a division of Warner Brothers. Gunn is not only the film's director; he wrote the screenplay, and he's DC's CEO. "I feel good about the movie," he said.
Main Idea: Director James Gunn and actor David Corenswet are trying to make the new “Superman” film feel more human, grounded, and less invincible.
Key Points:
A $225 million movie could lose money and pressure Warner Bros. If audiences do not accept James Gunn’s new Superman.
