What follows is an excerpt from that interview:
Q: What can Superman fans expect from "Superman Requiem"? What will the quality be like?
A: By having such a great cast and crew (from well-known cast members, to visual FX, to costume design, right down the list), I am totally confident that what we will have is something not of 'fan-film' quality, but of true professional-level quality, which is a direct result from having a fully professional cast and crew who are very used to working on multi-million dollar pictures all giving their time and energy into making this film at that same high quality that they're used to working on. The huge benefit for them - and everyone else working on the project - is that they get to work on a 'Superman' movie, which is great for everyone, and the support and dedication from everyone involved has been simply amazing.
The attention to detail we have been striving for on this picture, going as far as the costumes, to ensure they are of the exact same cape fitting and design of those used in the Christopher Reeve movies, and that others (including the Kryptonian costumes) are made of the same material as originally used also. We also have composers Warlock & Bradford composing an entirely new score based on many of the original John Williams themes, but also including entirely new compositions.
Q: What is the story about?
A: As for the story itself, I can't give away too much at this stage, but it follows on from 'Superman: The Movie', but a few years ahead, so as to incorporate certain elements from all four Christopher Reeve movies, as well as 'Superman Returns'), and Superman is back doing what he does best, when someone uses Kryptonite to render Superman almost powerless. He must then find a way to use the powers he has left to not only continue his normal work, but also to save those he loves when they are threatened. Will Superman be able to continue saving lives with limited powers? Will Clark Kent finally find true love? And will Superman be able to get his powers back? All these will be answered in "Superman: Requiem".
I can confirm, however, that Superman, and lots of his powers, will be showcased in this picture. The losing of powers storyline is not to get out of showing his powers in action on screen, quite the contrary, it's so that we can delve deeper into the thoughts and feelings of our favourite superhero when things aren't going his way, and how he deals with them, to show a slightly more emotional side to the Man of Steel.
