Plot SynopsisUnder the opening company logo and titles, the film opened in wartime Los Angeles.The disorienting opening shot was of a blinding ceiling light and sounds of accusatory voices in a dark shadowy room, and then soon after, a pull-back camera movement revealed the side of the face of tough yet vulnerable, blindfolded gumshoe detective Philip Marlowe (played by 30s musical crooner Powell in a dramatic role switch).Claire told Lowery: "The implant will shock it if it gets too close to a perimeter fence." Masrani ordered that no alerts be sent out, in order to protect his expensive new asset-attraction, and to not cause alarm:Let Asset Containment capture it quietly.Perry White assembled and ordered each division of his staff to completely concentrate on Superman""s return -- photos, columns, articles.[The greatest difficulty with the film was that five alternative endings were shot (or created in the editing room), and it was undecided how the film would conclusively end.Don: Yeah?
