		At the age of one, Ilya was photographed sitting on the lap of Zsa Zsa Gabor.
		His grandfather, Michael Salkind, was one of the pioneers of silent films and produced Joyless Street (1925), featuring then relative unknown Greta Garbo in her first major role.
		Ilya Salkind and his father accumulated a stunning filmography, starting with The Three Musketeers (1973) and its 1974 follow-up, The Four Musketeers --- marking the first major incident in which a major motion picture and its immediate sequel were shot back-to-back, simultaneously.

		Ilya Salkind, son of the legendary film producer Alexander Salkind, is the man who, often in partnership with Pierre Spengler, has seen his career develop a strong commercial creative vision, along with the business acumen required to deliver motion picture and televison productions on time and on budget.

		The film was the last Reeve/Superman film produced by Alexander Salkind and Ilya Salkind.
		Hackman along with Margot Kidder (Lois Lane) were upset with the way the Salkinds treated Superman: The Movie director Richard Donner, and Hackman retaliated by refusing to reprise the role of Lex Luthor entirely (though he would later be persuaded to come back for Superman IV: The Quest For Peace in 1987).
		Gene Hackman was so outraged over the way the Salkinds had treated director Richard Donner that he vehemently refused to reprise the role of Lex Luthor for the third film (though he would later be persuaded to reprise the part for the fourth film).

	Moviehole.net - Exclusive Interview : Ilya Salkind
		The older Salkind wasn’t as sold on the idea, if only because he wasn’t as familiar with the popular DC comics character as his son was, having grown up in Europe, where the character wasn’t as much a staple.
		Salkind pushed forward, despite the troubles with his father, and rediscovered his love for the Man of Steel.
		Salkind is about to be shoved back into the spotlight — not only because “Superman” is back in a big way, thanks to Bryan Singer’s new film, “Superman Returns”, which he says he’s “very excited about” - with the anticipated DVD releases of “Superboy” and the original “Superman” movies, being re-issued in a comprehensive box-set.

	Ilya Salkind on Superman The Movie
		The media's painted a very fl picture of the Salkinds, admittedly, I believed some of it, but I don't think I was the only one considering the rarity of a Salkind interview to balance the stories.
		Ilya loves to chat; he's very old school, I sensed a childlike quality, he's still crazy about the myth and the legends, the bedtime stories you read to your children, the scary stories around the fire, it's all that classical, archetypal literature he wants to see on the screen.
		Ilya never came across as an egomaniac, what surprised me was just how cool he was.

		Salkind, 58, conceived of the idea to do a big-budget "Superman" movie, and, along with his late father, Alexander, and childhood friend, Pierre Spengler, co-produced the first three "Superman" movies and "Supergirl", and also produced the television series "Superboy" (later the "Adventures of Superboy") for syndication.
		Salkind responded to Donner's insistence in interviews over the years that no one ever contacted him to let him know he wouldn't be returning to finish "Superman II".
		Salkind claims as false the rumor that the love interest in "Superman III" was childhood sweetheart Lana Lang because the producers were retaliating against actress Margot Kidder, who had leading lady status as Lois Lane in the first two films.

		So it was in the second half of the '70s when the producing team of Alexander and Ilya Salkind, along with Pierre Spengler, decided it was time for a new Superman to fly into the public view.

		When Ilya Salkind contacted me last year over the phone (on my birthday, I might add), and uttered the latter quotation, he, like myself, was firmly devoted to taking those words seriously.
		Still, It would be a great interest to share the Salkinds' legacy with the world all over again, and bring it alive for a new generation, one who never understood these things before --- and had to be told by others.
		True, there are new members on Team Salkind II's roster, but the basic premise of the Company remains the same --- to produce film and television projects for audiences of all ages to embrace throughout the world...

	Ilya Salkind on Superman The Movie
		Ilya, "Me and my father wanted to get away from the comic book confines, we felt the 1966 Batman camp television show was too much of a stigma." Alfred was reportedly devastated with the news.
		Ilya Salkind wasn't worried about the script in-jokes, Telly Savalas, who loves ya baby and Lex eating Kleenex -- David Newman's agent ate Kleenex, but it was a joke not intended for the film.
		Donner brings up the camp element constantly when he attacks the Salkinds but Ilya responds that a lot of the script is word for word and written by the Newmans.

	Alexander Salkind: 1921-1997
		During this same period, Ilya Salkind had reached his teens, and was anxious to become an actor --- but it soon became apparent that acting was not truly for him.
		By 1969, Ilya had convinced his father to sign Kirk Douglas to a major role in the Team's next project, The Light at the Edge of the World, for which the junior Salkind was credited as Associate Producer.
		Ilya accuses his father of failure to pay him $10,000 per month during The Discovery's production phase, as the senior Salkind had originally promised; as a result, Ilya is now owed more than $300,000.

		Producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind had had great success with their lavishly produced adaptations of the comic-book legend, Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980).
		But with their subsequent entries in the series, Superman III (1983) and Supergirl (1984), the Salkinds’ pushed the series in a disastrously campy direction.
		With the exception of the Superboy tv series (1988-90), the Salkinds’ sold their interest in Superman off to Israeli-born, American-based producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus and their Cannon distribution chain.

		In early February 2004, Ilya Salkind granted The Hollywood Reporter an exclusive interview, in which he revealed that he was about to begin pre-production on the first of three epic films based on the life and times of Alexander the Great.
		That was the question posed by us, the loyal fans of the House of Salkind, who had thrilled to the power of believing that had always been a Salkind hallmark.
		Now that the Ilya Salkind Company has activated its official website, the world has its answer (or so we hope): Alexander the Great from Macedonia: The Young Prince will be released on DVD sometime in 2007.

		Ilya Salkind, the co-producer of the Superman movies, has extended the similarities by making "Santa Claus: The Movie" roughly similar in shape and form to a Superman epic.
		The key element in the lives of all superheroes is their origin (somehow, they are rarely simply born to humble folk).
		The Salkinds and their associates have by now figured out exactly how to make it look like somebody is flying, and when Santa's sleigh makes a run past the Brooklyn Bridge, it's a pretty sight.

		That changed in 1978, when producer Ilya Salkind introduced audiences to a new Superman — played by a then-unknown actor named Christopher Reeve.
		Unlike the TV show and movie serials that preceded it, Salkind's film series featured name actors (including Gene Hackman and Richard Pryor) and big budgets — a formula that yielded great success.
		Reeve hung up his cape in 1987 after the poorly received "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace," but Salkind forged on, producing a syndicated TV spinoff called "The Adventures of Superboy." Although the series managed to survive for three seasons, it never garnered much attention outside of its comic book-loving fan base.

		Salkind in high esteem after the firing of director Richard Donner during the production of Superman II, but let’s not forget that Alexander and Ilya Salkind were the first people in Hollywood to produce a faithful and successful comic book movie, giving birth to one the best movie franchises in history.
		If it weren’t for the persistence of Ilya, starting all the way back in 1973, the movie industry would not be the same.
		Ilya exclusively told the IESB that he is currently in development on the life story of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

		Kidder brought more depth to the role than previous actresses had done, portraying Lane as an ambitious and headstrong, yet vulnerable and emotionally lonely woman trying to make it in a man's world.
		After she publicly expressed her disgust to the producers, Alexander Salkind and Ilya Salkind, over the firing of Richard Donner from 1980's Superman II, her role in 1983's Superman III consisted of less than 5 minutes of footage.
		Her presence was sorely missed by fans and moviegoers, and her role in 1987's Superman IV: The Quest For Peace was much more substantial.

		And if history repeats itself, the role could catapult Heughan to the top of the most-wanted list when it is released later this year.
		Salkind is best known in Hollywood as the producer who in 1978 spotted an unknown young actor called Christopher Reeve fresh out of drama college, and made him a star overnight with his Superman trilogy.
		Confirming that he has reserved the right to employ Heughan in all three of his planned films on Alexander, Salkind said: "We looked at hundreds of young actors to play this role, which requires both striking visual attraction and the look of a great future warrior.

		The Salkinds brought Richard Lester in in an uncredited associate producer capacity to keep an eye on Donner during the shooting and it was Lester's idea that shooting of
		And then in a controversial move early in 1979, the Salkinds fired Donner (Donner had been vocal in the press about his dislike of the Salkinds' producing methods - one of his complaints had been the Salkinds' wanting to make the film much more campy in tone) and replaced him with Lester.
		One of the things that the Salkind's wanted and that Lester complied with was taking the series in a clearly more comic direction than the first film.

		But strained relations between Alexander and Ilya Salkind, director Richard Donner, and the Salkind’s producing partner Pierre Spengler (dubbed ‘The Star Spangled Spengler’ by Donner and his fellow writer/friend Tom Mankeiwicz) during the production lead to Donner not being asked to complete his work on Superman II, 80% of which was reportedly in the can.
		A debate could rage for eons as to the superiority of either directors “Super” work but the Salkinds saw fit to request Lester’s return for a further sequel in 1983.
		The poor box office performance of this third outing though, clearly showed public interest was already waning in The Man Of Steel’s cinematic adventures and the Salkinds decided to embark on the next chapter of Kryptonian capers while they still held the rights to the Superman mythos.

		Heughan, 22, will play the eponymous hero in Macedonia’s Alexander the Great, the first part of a three-film biopic of the ancient hero planned by the veteran producer Ilya Salkind.
		Salkind is so confident of Heughan’s talents that he plans to release Macedonia’s Alexander the Great in October this year - the same month that Hollywood producer Oliver Stone will release his biopic of Alexander the Great, starring the Irish actor Colin Farrell.
		The success of Heughan, who comes from New Galloway, Dumfriesshire, will be seen as simply the latest in a string of accolades by those who have followed his fortunes in recent years.

	Superman (1978) ****
		An ill-fated project, Superman II faced numerous problems; first, Marlon Brando sued producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind for royalties from the first film.
		Richard Lester was brought in to direct, and he re-filmed some of Donner's scenes while completing "Superman II." Basically, Donner should receive directing credit but doesn't; almost half the film is reportedly his, including all of Gene Hackman's scenes.
		Apparently he filmed this movie as a favor to his friends, producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind.
