Intellect is an independent academic publisher in the arts and humanities, publishing scholarly books and journals that exemplify our mission as publishers of original thinking. We aim to provide a vital space for widening critical debate in new and emerging subjects, and in this way we differ from other publishers by campaigning for the author rather than producing a book or journal to fill a gap in the market. We are best known for our work in the visual arts, film studies, cultural studies, communication studies, media studies, fashion and performing arts. These categories host Intellect’s ever-expanding topics of enquiry, which include photography, drawing, curation, community music, gaming and scenography. Intellect titles are often multidisciplinary, presenting scholarly work at the cross section of arts, media and creative practice. Intellect seeks to offer an unbiased platform for quality critical debate. We are committed to representing the author’s voice authentically, without imposition of our personal ideas or opinions. We place great emphasis on serving our authors and editors, customers, and communities. As a mission-based publisher, we are committed to reinvesting in our publishing activities.

Gary Bettinson is senior lecturer in<br />
film studies at Lancaster University<br />
and Editor-in-Chief of the journal<br />
Asian Cinema.<br />
At a moment when superheroes dominate pop culture, Gary<br />
Bettinson takes us back to the first comic book blockbuster.<br />
Superman: The Movie takes us behind the scenes to reveal the<br />
personalities and expertise that went into making this landmark<br />
of Hollywood cinema.<br />
Marking 40 years since the film’s release, this book presents<br />
transcripts of original interviews with the cast and crew.<br />
It serves as rare insider accounts of an acclaimed blockbuster<br />
that was steeped in controversy throughout production, from a<br />
record-breaking budget to conflicts between the director and<br />
producers. The interviewees cast light on the daily realities<br />
on-set, as well as on the film’s release and reception with<br />
refreshing candour. Beginning with the film’s inception and<br />
continuing through its runaway success, Superman: The Movie<br />
provides valuable insights into the practical logistics and<br />
day-to-day realities of mounting a big-budget production, at<br />
a time when high-concept Hollywood blockbusters only an<br />
emerging genre.<br />
