Eye-popping, breathtaking, never-seen-anything-like-it, a must to experience theatrically in 3D and not at home, great sounds and silences, looks like it was shot in outer space -- all but the crustiest curmudgeons agree that Gravity is all of the above. But has Alfonso Cuaron made a great film or just a great ride? Probably closer to the latter, but still an amazing movie experience and a landmark of some kind from one of the most skilled, eclectic and dynamic directors in the world.
Warner Bros.Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity gave audiences a terrifying look at what would happen if disaster struck in space, but a new fan-made video purporting to be an “alternate scene” suggests that things could have been so, so different if only a very super guest star had shown up.
Created by Krishna Shenoi, the clip inserts footage of Christopher Reeve’s Man of Steel rescuing Sandra Bullock’s character from last year’s suspenseful space disaster movie. Shenoi jokingly described the scene as “an opening scene … that would have radically changed the film. Too bad the brass at Warner Bros. rejected this version.”
Is it too late to have someone at Warners add Sandra Bullock as an astronaut in trouble to the cast of Man of Steel? Watch Shenoi’s video below and start brainstorming which other Warners movies could benefit from a Superman cameo.
