Superman Lives Sneak Peek From Steve Johnson!

Steve Johnson (special make-up effects artist) who has worked on many comic book and sci-fi/fantasy movies in his vast 30 year career, now has his own YouTube channel that showcases off great treasure chest of archival footage, like Blade etc, through the years. Amazing stuff and this recently shown video of his has it all including a look at the Superman Lives movie!



Johnson is unable to release any archival footage of "Superman Lives" from his collection due to Warner Brothers thing called restrictions, shame but the video below has a awesome brief snippet of the late Tim Burton movie "Superman Lives" that was never made in the late nineties. The "Superman Lives" bit is right at the end of the introductory video clip with a very silver Superman "S" chest symbol lighting up in blue on it, it's very cool!



A welcome message from Steve Johnson.

Inviting all the fans to the channel. Get a glimpse at the body of work Steve has done, plus some insight on what you can expect to see:

grif - 11/8/2009, 3:21 PM
Awesome find, LEEE! This is the kind of thing I love to see; a filmmaker saying "screw it" and just giving us all a look into the world behind the celluloid worlds they create!
Brent Sprecher - 11/8/2009, 3:26 PM

LEEE777 - 11/8/2009, 3:29 PM
the guy kinda feels full of himself, like he made the channel to gloat about himself
ALmighty1080 - 11/8/2009, 3:30 PM
@ALmighty1080: I thought that at first too, but I think he just feels underappreciated and it's not like he's in the business anymore. I don't know, we all want approval, right?
Brent Sprecher - 11/8/2009, 3:33 PM
Right! ; D

KentAllard - 11/8/2009, 6:24 PM
It's like Superman meets Fast and the Furious. The real reason he flies is because of a tricked out hydraulics system. @lee: I love this stuff. Great find!
Upupandaway - 11/8/2009, 7:27 PM
lc-LOL!!!
peterparker420 - 11/8/2009, 8:08 PM
Nice find LEEE!!

I am going to give you guy about 5 to 10 years notice on how this awesome effects buisness is going to go cos this is exactly where I plan on being once I have sold my designs for my other products!

really great stuff _LEEE777 !!! i hpoe to be seeing more of it , i am a huge behind the scenes fan !! xD soo0o0o lame this guy cant show the Superman LIves props =(
sauron93 - 11/8/2009, 9:15 PM
Good post Leee, thank“s man.
OSCURO - 11/8/2009, 9:24 PM
Maybe was The ELECTRIC SUPERMAN.
OSCURO - 11/8/2009, 9:25 PM
god that superman movie would have been shit. i didn't know they were so close to making it that they actually had effects stuff in the works. talk about a close call!
CorndogBurglar - 11/8/2009, 9:29 PM
@CB: I don't know, the first two Burton Batman movies were good IMO. Nic Cage would have been terrible though.
Upupandaway - 11/8/2009, 9:41 PM
@Upupandaway: Negative Ghost Rider.

Batman is dark and gothic, which is right up Burton's alley. Superman is the opposite. A dark and gothic Superman has EPIC FAIL written all over it.
MultiPurposePoni - 11/8/2009, 10:30 PM
The idea of Tim Burton making a Superman movie still has a strange feel to it. I don't know how would've reacted to Superman Lives if it had been made. I'm betting it would've been darker than Bryan Singer's take on the Man of Steel.
Wesley Colvin - 11/9/2009, 1:05 AM
JALL @ Thats cool man!!

Kent @ I know how you feel lol!

Upup @ Cheers dude!

ANSWER @ Thats so cool! Fingers crossed man, that sound wicked!

SAURON @ Cheers man, and yeah i know what you mean, but hey he might at some point or not give two [frick]s an post it anyway!!

OSCURO @ Thanx and lol, i think i know the suit he uses for that chest bit, ive got a PIC somewhere, i'll post it here for ya!

CORN @ I disagree, as no SUPERMAN movie never came out for donkeys years, having the movie wouldnt of hurt anyone, an i for one really wonder what it wouldve looked like, i'll post all the drawings i have here dude, thing is apart from NIC CAGE this could've been amazing!! Its probably like MARS ATTACKS, you luv it or hate it??! I love that movie but know ppl that don't!

Like all BURTON movies, when you go in you know it's gonna be [frick]ed up lol before you see it!

WESLEY @ Very good point an i reckon you could be right dude!!

MULTI @ It might've been, but it still could've been amazing or just even good. I personally wouldn't of minded seeing it myself, luv all BURTON movies but i do get your point lol.

The one though that i wanted to see was when they was talking, (i think) before BURTON and it was going to be an adaption of the death of SUPERMAN storyline, with DC cameos galore! Hell i still wanna see that SUPERMAN movie lol! ; D





LEEE777 - 11/9/2009, 1:44 AM











LEEE777 - 11/9/2009, 2:16 AM
By the way, ive heard reports the top PIC may not of been SUPERMAN but could've been BIZARRO instead!!!?


It'll be cool if we get stuff like that in the LOBO movie!
LEEE777 - 11/9/2009, 2:59 AM
Good find LEEE :)
teabag - 11/9/2009, 3:44 AM
NOT MANY VIDEOS YET BUT I LIKE IT ALOT, HOOKED ON WHAT HE'LL PUT ON NEXT
GUNSMITH - 11/9/2009, 4:01 AM
@ LEEE

i don't know man, if they would have made that, then we probably never would have gotten superman returns. i didn't like returns, but plenty of people did, and at least it was a good actor playing an actual superman. i don't know, it would have been terrible. could you imagine if they screwed the avengers up the way that movie woud have screwed up superman? people would riot! lol
CorndogBurglar - 11/9/2009, 5:08 AM
@ LEEE

by the way, i LOVE mars attacks, but it didn't make a total mockery of the source material, either!
CorndogBurglar - 11/9/2009, 5:10 AM
Anyone know what the footage was with the THING?
Law4778 - 11/9/2009, 5:19 AM
CORN @ I wont say what i wanna about how they could screw up Avengers lol, but you can probably guess! ; D

But yeah you do have good points man, and oh well it never happened anyway lol!

LAW @ Do you mean the THING in FF?
LEEE777 - 11/9/2009, 6:14 AM
@ LEEE

yeah, it still would have been interesting to see, lol.

@ Law

i was wondering the same thing, it must just be a deleted scene from one of the movies.


CorndogBurglar - 11/9/2009, 6:26 AM
I SAW A ANIMATRONIC HULK IN A CLIP IN ONE OF THE VIDEOS...DUDE I WANNA SEE THAT ONE GIVE ME THAT ONE...!THEY COULD USE THAT FOR A TV SERIES HULK OR SOMETHING
GUNSMITH - 11/9/2009, 8:29 AM
Like Hollywood would ever make a hulk TV show.........he he
supermarioworldE - 11/9/2009, 9:10 AM
YOU NEVER KNOW, I ALWAYS THOUGHT A HULK TV SHOW USING PRACTICAL EFFECTS WOULD BE PRETTY COOL.PLUS YOU COULD GET INTO THE GREY HULK, THE OTHER PERSONAS...CAMEOS..MUCH LIKE SMALLVILLE BUT WITHOUT THE CHANGING THINGS AROUND AND MORE TRUER TO THE COMIC...
GUNSMITH - 11/9/2009, 10:19 AM
hmmm... deja vu... i definitely know i have seen those freaky pictures before with the head and spider body...


KeepItReal - 11/9/2009, 10:44 AM
Honestly, I think the Tim Burton Superman movie would have kicked ass. From all of the designs, I love the direction it would have gone. It wouldn't have felt so empty like Superman Returns, that movie really just felt like Singer didn't even try to make it his own. Just a copy, a lame copy.
Stumblin - 11/9/2009, 11:50 AM
STUM @ Your right, but i liked RETURNS for what it was lol! Needed [frick]ing DOOMSDAY in it though!!!

Damn, i would've liked seeing this version too, minus CAGE of course, he he could've got recast at the last minute!

: D
LEEE777 - 11/9/2009, 2:38 PM
@ gunsmith

so you mean...nothing like smallville, lol. ;)
CorndogBurglar - 11/9/2009, 5:45 PM
@ stumblin

i would have seen this, but only if it were presented as a DC Elseworlds movie, with a separate, more correct superman franchise at the same time, which you know they would NEVER do.
CorndogBurglar - 11/9/2009, 5:47 PM
This makes me hate Brian Singer even more!!
TheDurkinKnight - 11/9/2009, 8:27 PM
CORN @ A DC Elseworlds, heck yeah!!! ; )
LEEE777 - 11/10/2009, 3:37 AM
LOL
GUNSMITH - 11/10/2009, 8:26 AM
this is awsome but,did anyone notice how drunk n resentful that guy is? cool!!
