Filmmaker Richard Donner, who helped create the modern superhero blockbuster with 1978 s Superman and mastered the buddy comedy with the Lethal Weapon franchise, has died. He was 91.
Donner died Monday in Los Angeles, his family said through a spokesperson.
Donner gained fame with his first feature, 1976 s The Omen. A then-unheard-of offer followed: $1 million to direct 1978 s Superman. Donner channeled his love of the character into making the film, repeatedly facing off with producers over the need for special effects that would convince the audience that a superhero could really fly. In the title role, Donner cast Christopher Reeve, who was associated with Superman for the rest of his life.
