CLEVELAND, Ohio — It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s autographed Superman memorabilia!
The Greater Cleveland Film Commission is raffling off exclusive merchandise signed by the director and stars of DC’s upcoming “Superman” movie.
The items include a framed 18-by-37-inch “Superman in Cleveland” poster, a framed 12-by-12-inch “Superman in Flight” print, a framed 19.5-by-27-inch “Superman: Man of Steel” poster and a 12.5-by-16 Superman metal sign. Each item is signed by director James Gunn and actors David Corenswet (Superman/Clark Kent) and Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane). A ceramic mug emblazoned with the superhero’s S-shield and autographed by Brosnahan is also available.
Tickets are $25 each or $100 for five. The drawing will take place on April 18, which is also Superman Day, marking the publication date of the character’s debut in Action Comics No. 1 in 1938. Glenville High School classmates Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created Superman in 1932.
Proceeds benefit the film commission, the nonprofit that works to lure film and television productions to the region, from big blockbusters like “Superman” to smaller independent films such as “Lost & Found in Cleveland.”
Working with a local budget of about $37 million, the cast and crew of the new “Superman” spent parts of six weeks filming in and around Cleveland last summer, drawn in part by an $11 million tax credit. Since its introduction in 2009, the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit has generated nearly $1.4 billion in gross economic output, with Northeast Ohio hosting 60% to 70% of this activity, according to the film commission.
