Superman Lives Cost $30 Million Before It Was Canceled

Superman Lives went through development hell during the late 1990s, with the script being rewritten four times, and several directors being approached to helm the project after Burton departed to work on 1999's Sleepy Hollow. Jon Peters' strict and ridiculous demands for the story alongside his persistence to push through the project that clearly was not working resulted in high costs for Warner Bros. Costumes were made, sets were designed, scripts were written, and marketing had begun promoting Superman Lives' 1998 release. Upon its 2002 final shelving, the film had reportedly cost over $30 million.
I kept watching them made that stupid shiny costume for months and months. For it to be in movie for few minutes. And kept wondering how much all of it cost. $30 Million is the answer.
I was astonished how everything seemed unprofessional. They kept changing scripts. Building for months ridiculous costumes no one asked for. While treating it like it's such a big deal. And would not spend a 100 dollars of good make up artist who would at least try to male Nicolas Cage to look clean and pretty. He looked like he didn't shower for month every time he showed up with those stupid long hair.
No wonder studio cancelled it. share
