The documentary about Superman actor Christopher Reeve that premiered at Sundance is headed to Warner Bros., TheWrap has learned, in a $15 million deal.
The deal for “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story” has yet to close, according to an individual with knowledge of the negotiations, but Warner Bros. looks to have won a competitive bidding war for the film out of Sundance. It tells the inspiring story of the late actor’s rise to fame as the Man of Steel, his tragic horse riding accident that left him paralyzed and his rebirth as a disability rights activist before his death at age 52 from cardiac arrest in October 2004.
