That was almost as much fun to watch as it must have been to make. Two observations (besides the given that Elijah was terrific): 1) the 'narrator' was kind of hot and 2) my fav. bit was when he walked in scene wearing the "go see 'Chronicle'" shirt. Nice free advertising

It's a little different than the one I saw in LA a few months ago, but still great and so funny! One thing Max Landis did in this version was to incorporate what he told us live in person at the theater into this video. I believe there was more Elijah in the one I saw on screen, but there are parts with Elijah in this video that were not in the one I saw.

FYI, for those of you who may not know the "narrator" is Max Landis who is the son of the famous director John Landis.

This whole short film was written, produced, directed, and edited by Max Landis. He also wrote the script for the movie that is now in theaters called "Chronicle", if anyone is interested in seeing it. Max is going far, I think.

That was hilarious!! I'm sending this vid to my sister, who is a lifelong, crazy Superman fan. She will LOVE this!

Nice job, Elijah. :)

Brilliant. With the plot having five different 'Supermen', I didn't expect Elijah to have as much screentime as he had in the finished product. - Max Landis is a genius !

It must have been so much fun to make this short film, and as was said above, the viewers get as much fun out of the 'viewing experience' as well !

I loved this !

Love,

Great fun, I think; both shooting it and watching it. AND it has a plot! At one time I saw a lot of superman & Lois on TV. Always entertaining.
