Overview
- Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Fraser confirmed he screen tested in the Superman costume for the early‑2000s Flyby project.
- Fraser praised the screenplay as "Shakespeare in space" and described being locked in an office to read it after signing an NDA.
- He said the script was printed in black ink on crimson paper to prevent copying, underscoring the production’s security measures.
- Fraser reflected that he may not have been ready to be identified with Superman long term and suggested studio politics also played a role.
- Developed at Warner Bros. with J.J. Abrams attached and Ratner involved at one stage, Superman: Flyby stalled and its lineage led to Superman Returns.
