The official trailer for Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story is here.
Christopher Reeve, who brought Clark Kent and his superhero persona Superman to life in four films throughout the ’70s and ’80s, was injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down.
As a quadriplegic, he continued to inspire generations of fans as an activist and advocate for spinal cord injury research, founding the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. He died in 2004 from heart failure.
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, features all three of Christopher Reeve’s children and explores his enduring legacy.
“We said goodbye … he gave this wave,” son Matthew Reeve recalled in the trailer for the documentary, released Monday. “That was the last time I saw him on his feet.”
The trailer features a voice-over from the late actor, who says, “I ruined my life and everybody else’s” and laments that he won’t be able to “throw a ball” to his son Will Reeve, now an ABC News correspondent, or “make love” to his wife Dana Reeve, who died in 2006 of lung cancer. “Maybe we should let me go.”
“She came flying in and she just yelled, ‘I love you. I love you,'” daughter Alexandra Reeve Givens recalled of her mom.
“And then she said the words that saved my life: You’re still you, and I love you,'” Christopher Reeve’s voice-over says.
The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, and is in theaters across America on Sept. 21 and Sept. 25, with tickets available via Fathom Events.
The U.K. version of the hit reality show The Traitors is spawning a celebrity variant, and the show’s producers say “big names” are scrambling to climb aboard, reports The Sun.
The reality series is a murder mystery set in a Scottish castle. In the American import, which became a smash on Peacock, Alan Cumming acts as the gamesmaster for a group of players. Secretly among them are undercover nefarious traitors, picking the others off one by one.
Claudia Winkleman is the host of the U.K. version and is said to be a “close friend” of Friends alumna Courteney Cox, who the producers hope to snag; another big name on their wish list is acclaimed comedian and The Office creator Ricky Gervais.
A source tells the publication, “Behind the scenes, big names have already expressed their interest in taking part from the moment it was revealed the new version of The Traitors was being made,” adding The BBC “wants the crème de la crème of stars for the celeb spin-off.”
The American version’s first season sprinkled former reality show contestants in with regular folk, while the second season was made up entirely of stars from shows like MTV’s The Challenge, Survivor and the Real Housewives franchise.

(NEW YORK) — Singer Chappell Roan is calling out what she describes as “predatory” behavior from fans, asking them to respect her boundaries in public after delivering a similar message in videos last week.
The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer opened up in an Instagram post on Friday.
“I’ve been in too many nonconsensual physical and social interactions,” wrote Roan, whose debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” rose to meteoric popularity this year. “I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child, I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it.”
Roan also highlighted the difference between when she is in “work mode” and when she is “clocked out.”
“I don’t agree with the notion that I owe a mutual exchange of energy, time, or attention to people I do not know, do not trust, or who creep me out-just because they’re expressing admiration,” she wrote. “Women do not owe you a reason why they don’t want to be touched or talked to.”
She went on, “I am specifically talking about predatory behavior (disguised as ‘superfan’ behavior) that has become normalized because of the way women who are well-known have been treated in the past.”
She argued that her fame does not mean she has to tolerate “creepy people, being touched, and being followed.”
“I want to love my life, be outside, giggle with my friends, go to the movie theater, feel safe, and do all the things every single person deserves to do. Please stop touching. me. Please stop being weird to my family. and friends,” Roan asked her more than 4 million Instagram followers.
“I feel more love than I ever have in my life. I feel the most unsafe I have ever felt in my life,” she wrote.
“There is a part of myself that is just for me, and I don’t want that taken away from me,” she wrote, before concluding her message by thanking those who read the note.
Last week, the singer addressed “weird” interactions she’s had with fans. Roan shared on TikTok that her comments weren’t directed at someone specific or a specific encounter, adding, “This is just my side of the story and my feelings.”
Variety is reporting Lionsgate has dropped Eddie Egan, the marketing consultant reportedly behind a scuttled campaign that used fake reviews from real critics in an effort to promote Francis Ford Coppola‘s Megalopolis.
As reported, a now-deleted trailer used phony negative review quotes for Coppola classics including The Godfather and Apocalypse Now in the promo for Megalopolis, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May to some real-life negative reviews.
Sources tell Variety it wasn’t Lionsgate or Egan’s “intention to fabricate quotes,” but “an error in properly vetting and fact-checking the phrases provided by the consultant.”
That said, the trade prompted Chat GPT to write negative reviews of Coppola films in the style of popular reviewers and the “results were strikingly similar” to the ones seen in the trailer, so it appears an AI program was used to create them.
Lionsgate pulled the trailer on Wednesday, the day it debuted, saying, “We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and [Coppola’s studio] American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry.”
Lionsgate will release Megalopolis in theaters on Sept. 27.
