Dies und das:

Joaquin Phoenix auditioned for the role of Louis Simo, but Adrien Brody got it. This is the second time the two have auditioned for the same role. In The Village (2004), both men auditioned for the role of Lucius Hunt, with Phoenix getting the role.

Pannen:

Anachronismus: The Los Angeles police cars seen at the beginning of the movie outside George Reeves house are from the time period, however the red rotating warning light on the roof is inconsistent with LAPD use at the time. The LAPD cars had the two barrel lights with a siren mounted in between them on the roof. This type of warning system was used until at least the late 1970s early 1980s.

Dialogzitate:

George Reeves: [looks at himself in the mirror after putting on Superman costume for the first time] I look like a damned fool!

Querbezüge:

Nimmt Bezug auf The Last of the Mohicans (1936)

first 2006 contender for end-of-year awards

HOLLYWOODLAND is now being shown in NYC at special invitation screenings. Saw last night. Probably the first serious contender for end-of-year awards.

Exceptional in quality of script, cinematography, art direction and, especially, its editing.

The four principal actors -- Adrien Brody, Diane Lane, Bob Hoskins and Ben Affleck -- are doing some of their best work to date. I was most impressed by Ben Affleck who I thought would never again appear in a decent movie. He redeems himself here big time.

The narrative weaves interestingly between present tense (in 1959, shortly after George Reeves' death) and the previous ten years or so. A rather long running time of about 2 hours, 10 minutes flies by.
