413. Stage Reading of the Unmade Superman V Script (Part 1 of 3)

For the first time ever, a live script reading performance of the never-seen first draft of the unmade 5th Christopher Reeve Superman movie took place in late 2024. After Superman IV bombed, Alexander and Ilya Salkind reacquired the rights to Superman. They attempted to restore the franchise to greatness by making Superman V. Salkind met with Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder to discuss a plan to make the 5th movie but ultimately, it was never made. Now, a staged reading of the script was made with actors. The audio is presented here like an old-fashioned radio play.

The presentation stars Ray Carsillo as The Narrator Jonathan Cahill as Clark Kent / Superman Kenna Roubicek as Lois Lane Jamal Henderson as Brainiac David Pinion as Kosmo David Kocher as Jimmy Olsen / Ensemble Barry Papick as Perry White / Ensemble Veronica Warner as Lyla / Ensemble Bill Kates as Max – Dur / Ensemble and Caitlin Morris as Martha Kent / Ensemble. It was directed by Ray Carsillo, and produced by Ilya Salkind, David Kocher, and Ray Carsillo. Story by Ilya Salkind, Mark Jones, and Cary Bates Screenplay by Mark Jones and Cary Bates.

Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster Based on characters from DC. This Presentation was funded by the Kaplan-Loring Foundation.
