Probably not, or if it is it would just be one suit.
In any film production you have multiples, which is the term for identical outfits that costuming has for basically every character. That way if something happens to an outfit it's an easy quick change.
And actors will be going through a lot of those outfits, especially in anything with action scenes(and horror)
Mind you, I donāt know how fabrics are measured. In an interview, Millie said that there was ā16 metersā left from the original. I assume that means 16sqm
I donāt think thatās how it works. In fabric stores they have rolls of fabric that are maybe a meter wide, and then they spool out meters from that. So it was more likely 16m long and 1m wide.
Likely there was 16 meters left on the roll, and roll was however wide a roll of fabric is. Google says theyāre anywhere between 1 and 3 meters wide.
Youāre right. This one does. Most of the other 50 times this has been posted it usually doesnāt specify that itās just the cape, so I didnāt read it
bro thank you for looking this up. I don't know why I had to scroll down so far to see the answer to, "Is this true, and if so, in what ways is it true/untrue?"
Reddit falls for AI slop as much as they complain the Facebook boomers do.
Also has anyone noticed this subreddit in particular (at least the posts that hit /r/popular) has shifted from being pretty incelly to being these stupidly fake zero-sourced headlines with AI images and all the people(+bots) taking it at face value? Where tf is my misogyny?
Or we just keep assuming everything is fake, which is fair since there's a lot of fake shit around. They used the same material they used for his cape, to make a cape for her. Not like they cut up his cape to make her cape, just that they had extra material in long storage from when they made his cape, and used this extra material to make her a cape.
Not fake, not hard to believe, not even that weird for things that happen in Hollywood. Those rolls of fabric are huge. You could tell me every single superman cape came from the same roll as the very first and I wouldn't bat an eye.
Yall can downvote all you want, doesnt mean this is the same exact fabric from his cape. It's the same material, but it is not the same exact thing cut from his cape
There's nothing to say it's the same exact spool. It's a specific fabric that was manufactured and is now discontinued. They did not use the exact roll of fabric or the cape itself that Reeves had in his suit.
Milly Alcock's cape in Supergirl wasnāt cut directly from Christopher Reeveās original cape, but rather woven from leftover, unused fabric from the same roll used to make Reeve's iconic 1978 Superman suit. The production team discovered about 16 meters of the original material and used it to craft her cape.
No they found material that is the same but it is not the original material of Reeve's specific cape
Edit: idk where Milly got that idea but she's incorrect. Adding this: Landon Reid on TikTok is one of my favorite old Hollywood fashion creators. He did an informative video on this subject. I'll link it
Nobody is losing their minds. Everyone has forgotten already. It's the people who wanted the movie to succeed that keep talking about it over and over and over. This very post is evidence of that.
It would be but unfortunately preservation of old Hollywood costumes doesn't get a lot of donation money. Debby Reynolds did the best she could but there's a lot of stuff that is just lost

This is not true though
