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.
