''Hollywoodland'' was done with a relatively low budget and performed rather disappointingly at the Americab box-office, but it was well received by critics. The George Reeves part went to Creator/BenAffleck and critically it was perhaps the brightest spot in Affleck's checkered career between ''Film/GoodWillHunting'' (1997) and ''Film/{{Argo}}'' (2012), as he got surprisingly good reviews for his portrayal. Also starring Creator/DianeLane and Creator/BobHoskins.

* ArtisticLicenceHistory: The film depicts Reeves having a bigger part in ''Film/FromHereToEternity'' that gets cut down after audiences start laughing "there's Superman" - a common urban legend at the time. Numerous crew members from the film have {{Jossed}} this, and the original screenplay contains no additional scenes for Reeves's character. The director has also said that his part appears as filmed.
