Before J.J Abrams got a chance to direct your beloved childhood properties like Star Trek and Star Wars, he was just a guy Warner Bros drafted to work on a the canceled Superman project, Superman: Flyby back in 2002.
Before we got Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns (which I like, but sounds far more boring than this), Superman: Flyby went through several scripts, several directors (like Brett Ratner and McG), before it was ultimately canned and Abrams had to move on to other things. I kind of want to see this now, much like that other maligned Superman Lives.
