I've been reading about it for a while. I can't wait. "Access Hollywood" showed some of the footage, and a lot of it is available on youtube. The AH segment had Zod kicking Superman into the torch of the Statue of Liberty, and Supes super-slugging Non into the Empire State building.

More details, courtesy of The Digital Bits:

Quote:

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut will be available separately on 11/28 (SRP $24.98). This will include an all new 122-minute cut of the film (in anamorphic widescreen video) newly-created by its original director, Richard Donner. According to Warner's press release: "the “Donner cut” restores the Marlon Brando role, filmed for, but not included in the final theatrical release version of Superman II. The legendary Brando's performance as Jor-El has finally been restored in key scenes that amplify Superman lore and deepen the profound relationship between father and son. With so many other changes, large and small, including a variety of Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) schemes to unmask Clark Kent as Superman, this Superman II will prove to be an eye-opening experience and an important addition to film history." The new cut also features newly finished special effects and more. Extras on this DVD will include newly-recorded audio commentary by director Richard Donner and creative consultant Tom Mankiewicz, the Superman II: Restoring the Vision featurette and additional scenes not added back into the film.

I really hope they put as much effort into this as it sounds, becuase it sounds freakin' awesome.

Guess you finished jackin' off?? Can you get someone with a mop to clean it up now?

Brikar · 07-29-2006, 03:27 AM

It's his mess, I say he cleans it himself.

I would agree with you, but Stag usually volunteers to lick up a mess like this.
