DESCRIPTION: On June 30, 2006, SUPERMAN RETURNS hits the big screen with a new feature film from Warner Bros. and visionary director BRYAN SINGER (X2, X-Men, The Usual Suspects). Following a mysterious absence of several years, the Man of Steel comes back to Earth in the epic action-adventure SUPERMAN RETURNS, a soaring new chapter in the saga of one of the world’s most beloved super heroes. While an old enemy plots to render him powerless once and for all, Superman faces the heartbreaking realization that the woman he loves, Lois Lane, has moved on with her life. Or has she? Superman’s bittersweet return challenges him to bridge the distance between them while finding a place in society that has learned to live without him. In an attempt to protect the world he loves from cataclysmic destruction, Superman embarks on an epic journey of redemption that takes him from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space. More than 150 magnificent photos will appear in the official SUPERMAN RETURNS book. Set alongside excerpts from the screenplay and short essays, the photographs will allow the reader to follow the arc of the film’s story and marvel at the filmmaking magic on display—from the spectacular creation of the Daily Planet to the breathtaking action set pieces.
