PICS of Nicholas Cage from the failed "Superman Lives" film

Interesting to say the least.

I wonder if this version would have worked out?

First Look: Superman's Suit from the DEAD 'Superman Lives' project

Many moons ago Tim Burton and Nick Cage teamed up to make Superman Lives. That project failed, but many pics from that project are popping up.

Including the test costume:

Well... At least the models are cute. What do you think?

Remember when Nicolas Cage was going to be Superman?

I do, barely, but I remember. And I thought it would be a mess.

Well I have a treat for you... There are pics (via YouTube)of that possible moment.

Ever wonder what Nicolas Cage would have looked like had he played Superman in the late 1990s movie Superman Lives? That was the scrapped version that would have been directed by Tim Burton from a screenplay by Kevin Smith (and rewritten by Wesley Strick) and produced by Jon Peters.

Cage's casting as the last son of Krypton caused as much of a stir amongst fanboys as Michael Keaton's had when he won the title role in Burton's Batman. Filming on Superman Lives was to have begun in 1998 in Pittsburgh, but Warner Bros. ultimately put the project on hold due to its ballooning budget. Both Cage and Burton eventually dropped out of the project, but not after concept art and costume designs were made. And after years in-development and millions spent, Warners would ultimately scrap the entire "Death of Superman" storyline, jettison Peters as the picture's producer, and take a whole new approach with 2006's Superman Returns.

Interesting to say the least.
