Calling all Superman Fans!
This just came up over on the Superman Homepage.
Ilya Salkind, co-Producer of "Superman: The Movie", "Superman II", "Superman III", "Supergirl", "Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut", and "Superboy: The TV Series", has been reported as being missing in Mexico City, according to website TMZ. Salkind, 63, came up with the idea in 1974 to produce a series of live-action films starring the Man of Steel. Salkind grew up in Mexico and owned property there. According to TMZ:
If you're down in Mexico, think of him and see if you can help. Everyone else, think of him, he's going to need the support.I'll be honest, when my husband and I talk about various places to visit, we very quickly discard Mexico I'm sad to say and it's largely due to things like this. I could get very political commenting on the immigration issue (I won't) or the drug trade (I won't there either). I'll just comment that Ilya Salkind needs our support, thoughts are prayers at this time.

- The 63-year-old -- who was born in Mexico City -- had traveled south of the border to handle a property he inherited from his mother who passed away a few years ago.
Friends of Salkind tell us ... members of Ilya's staff last saw the legendary producer at his estate in Mexico on Sunday as he was on his way to "handle some errands and get some dental work done."
However, Salkind has not returned -- and yesterday, his friends filed a missing persons report with Mexican authorities.
