Return of Superman


BACK IN ACTION:
Reeve stars as disabled
man
SUPERMAN star Christopher
Reeve, paralysed in a riding
accident three years ago, is to
return to acting - as a disabled
man confined to a wheelchair.
Reeve, whose brave battle
against his terrible injuries has
made him a figurehead for the
disabled, will star in a remake of
Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 James
Stewart and Grace Kelly thriller,
Rear Window.
In the original, Stewart played
a photographer who was
wheelchair-bound in his
apartment after breaking a leg.
He fights boredom by spying
on his neighbours and is
convinced he has witnessed a
murder. The script has been
rewritten so the lead character is
now paralysed and the picture
will more graphically show the
difficulties such handicapped
people have to overcome.
Since being paralysed, Reeve
has directed the acclaimed TV
movie In The Gloaming, written
an autobiography titled Still Me
and campaigned to raise
awareness for the fate of the
physically disabled.
He has been discussing the
Rear Window project for about a
year but has not felt he was
ready to return to acting until
now.
Filming will begin at the end
of this month near Reeve’s home
in New York.
