"It's a story of hope, and until we don't need hope anymore, there will be Superman stories." – Valentino Zullo

Last summer, our city played host to DC Studios' filming of the upcoming film "Superman". Early trailer footage gives Cleveland much love, putting many of our city's landmarks front and center. It was a sort of homecoming for Superman, who was created by two Glenville High School students in 1933, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Adding to the anticipation, the Siegel and Shuster Society, an all-volunteer nonprofit, announced they will construct a Superman statue in downtown Cleveland.

Before the July 11th theatrical release of "Superman," we will be joined by Bill Garvey from the Greater Cleveland Film Commission and Valentino Zullo with the Siegel and Shuster Society. Ideastream's Mike McIntyre will lead a conversation on what it takes to bring Hollywood to The CLE and how we can all honor the creators of The Man of Steel.
