Back in the mid-Nineties Kevin Smith was the indie film darling for a few years, having written and directed slacker classics like Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy. I remember hearing at the time that he was writing and directing a new Superman film, but it never came to fruition, and years later the unbelievably terrible Superman Returns came out. Anyway, in the clip above Smith tells the actual story of what happened to that project. It is hilarious. Trust me, it's worth the time to watch it.
