Superman: Requiem

Our Story

Superman: Requiem is a high-production-value fan-film that is being produced by industry professionals with a goal to create the finest and most ambitious fan-film to date. We have renowned professionals involved from many areas of film and television production involved, including art designers, makeup artists, costume designers, producers, not to mention cast members, who are all working together to make a high-production-value film at studio quality by pooling our talents to create something truly special.

The Impact

We hope that Superman: Requiem will inspire new filmmakers to get involved and start to aim high with new productions, as well as gaining recognition and reward for this project too by screening it to studio execs and at global film festivals.

We hope that everyone involved can use it as a 'calling card' - weather you're an art designer wanting to show your skills on the screen; an actor wanting to get noticed by key industry professionals; or an aspiring producer seeking opportunities, then this is the project for you, as already there has been significant public and industry interest around the production, so get involved today for your opportunity.

What We Need & What You Get

Because of the fan-film nature of the project, we are unable to pay those involved, or obtain formal finance, so everyone involved in the project is giving their time and talent free of charge. What we do need funds for, however, is for the hiring of equipment, and to pay for VFX shots (including flying), as well as to cover various expenses for locations, cast, and crew.

So far we have implemented all aspects of the production with zero budget, and our intention is to keep the figure as low as possible, so that we can put as much money on the screen as possible, by putting more into the visual effects and post production process. If we do not reach the entire goal, the production will continue regardless, but to enable us to deliver the completed picture before the end of 2011, we need to get the funds in place.

We are opening up several perks in return for investment to those who are either looking for a 'break' in the film industry, be it as a producer, an actor, or any other role, but also for anyone who wants to be part of a Superman film. Weather you're a fan of the comic-books, the movies, the TV shows, or just someone that wants to be involved, we have packages that we hope will suit anyone. In return we are offering credits (among other perks) that will be featured in the film, as well as being listed on IMDb*. If this sounds good to you, please get involved.

All funders names will be added to the official website at www.themanofsteelisback.com, and each will be thanked via the official Twitter feed @supermanrequiem.

Other Ways You Can Help

We need as many people as possible to get involved and help. Firstly, we need to get as much funding in place as possible, so get your friends to get involved too by using the 'share' tools on this page. Also, if you work in the film industry (or are looking to) we are still putting our crew together, so if you're interested in helping out, please contact us and we can discuss it further.

Thanks,

The Superman: Requiem Production Team
