It's coming out Nov. 26th this year. It's the original vision and footage Donner shot before Lester took over and fucked everything up. I'm fucking pumped about this I been wanting to see this for fucking years now just another month or so and I will have my hands on the DVD. Go out and get this shit people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_II:_The_Richard_Donner_Cut
No Superman The Movie was the first movie and Donner was approaching it as a type of Return of Christ thing thru Superman. The recent film was suppose to be the 3rd film if Donner had fished the series himself. So if you watch the movies. You Watch Superman The Movie, Then Donners Cut, Then Superman Returns and that's the true story of Superman so far. The other 2 are crap.
I will be buying this movie - for sure. I was a big fan of the Superman movies growing up, and upon watching them again years later, I can see quite a dropoff as the series progressed. Albeit, the second film is still my favorite, I can't wait to see what it was meant to be. I've been waiting for the sequels to get the same star dvd treatment that the first one got almost a decade ago.
With a cover like this, how could you not just really love this movie????? I mean, it's no 'ghost dad' but not too shabby....
