Watch The Fan Film: Superman: The Golden Child

I would like to call attention to another Superman Fan Film--this one called Superman: The Golden Child!


From its Website:

The Golden Child is an ambitious 22 minute short SUPERMAN fan film, written, directed, and produced by Andrew List. The film is set in present day; it also features many familiar elements that stay true to the legend.

When Lex Luthor (JEREMY CARNRIKE ) puts a plan into action that turns the people of Metropolis against Superman. What will happen when Luthor is in power and the Man of Steel (JOSHUA BOULTINGHOUSE ) is no where in sight?

The film was conceived in March 2011 by Andrew List who has been a Superman fan his entire life, and a professional video/web/graphic artist since 2006, and decided he was going to move forward with creating a live action non-profit fan film. The original script was much longer, but over time and efforts the script evolved into a much shorter script that was satisfying to everyone involved. Shooting began in July 2012 and wrapped up in October 2012.

Sure it was made on a shoestring budget and may have a few structural editing issues. But perfection is not the point here. List's affection for the character is very evident and when it comes to fan films that counts for a lot. Boultinghouse could pass for Supes and alter ego Clark Kent.

Nods to Richard Donner's Superman--there are plenty--including John Williams' iconic music from that era.



Kudos to the cast and crew continuing to "Believe A Man Can Fly"!! Good Job.
