Awesome! Thanks Gruff, for the scoop! I've always wondered what it would have been like, and even though it's nearly 2 decades late... I'm still pumped to see what it's gonna be like!

this was discussed at the con. It was stated that many of Donner's shot was not used in the film due to several filming mistakes, but with the new released 85% of Donner's shot will be added.

Hope they make it better too. I hope the Superman 3 and 4 never get re-released! :maul

Bryan Singer brought Donner out during the Superman Returns presentation. (Great SR blooper reel, by the way). They showed a scene from the new edit that was pretty good. I'm hoping for no super fruit rollups in this version too.

This sounds very interesting. I just have to make sure that I pick up the correct version of "Superman II" when it does debut on DVD...

I still don't know if they can save it. Super fruit rollups... telekenetic finger beams... able to turn invisible and to project holographic images of themselves...


Does anyone know if they are planning on switching the endings? Putting the earth revolutions that turned back time at the end of Superman II and putting the atomic missle freeing General Zod at the end of Superman The Movie?

there were some talks that there is something new to the ending but they were not allowed to talk about. i guess we just need to buy the dvd and find out.

Aren't they also releasing this in some super deluxe box set with special editions of 3 and 4 as well. I thought I read that somewhere.

Yup and HD DVD versions in the set too.

AWESOME NEWS about Donner Superman II! I thought it would never happen, especially after reading an interview with Donner over a year ago where he expressed his bitterness to this (that) day about Superman II and wouldn't go out of his way to resurrect his version. Now it's happening!

Superman The Movie is one of my all-time favorites movies, I even was fortunate enough to meet Richard Donner while he was shooting 16 Blocks in Toronto and he signed my Superman TM DVD!

November 28 is marked in my calendar!!
