Update! Tim Burton JP (
Facebook Page/
Tumblr Page), has posted an image of a Superman maquette that they believed was from Nicolas Cage and Tim Burton's
Superman Lives, but based on past images posted on
Superman Homage, we can see producer, Jon Peters, posing with the maquette and it is identified as being from the
Superman: Flyby production. As for the maquette itself, it is a model (usually made from clay) that is sculpted by a member of the art department, to give producers a 3D representation of a character from the film.
For those of you that aren't familiar with
Superman: Flyby. It was a Superman film that was written by J.J. Abrams ("Super 8") in the early 2000's. Originally Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour") was attached to direct, but he was later replaced with music video savant, McG ("We Are Marshall"). You can read a brief breakdown the script below, or a more detailed version by
