Anniversaries seem to be racing past us these days, but it still seems like a shock that the 1978’s Superman reaches the big 40 this year. So it’s getting the obligatory big-screen treatment again.

THE Man of Steel

Superman – sometimes called Superman: The Movie – starred Christopher Reeve and originally released Dec. 15, 1978, has plans to be re-released this November.

The movie had a ridiculously talented cast. Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Glenn Ford, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Terence Stamp, Valerie Perrine, Ned Beatty – the list goes on.

It was a critical and commercial smash, eventually ending the year second at the box office behind only Grease.
