In Reply to: Singer's Superman picks up great reviews. posted by Jeff Starrs on June 20, 2006 at 00:19:49:
Given the quality of the X-Men films, Singer was the best possible choice for director. Can't wait to see Kevin Spacey chew up the scenery as Lex Luthor.With the Richard Donner re-cut of Superman II apparantly finished and scheduled for release later this year, it's going to be a great year for the Man of Steel!

Can you tll us more about the recut? Is there a link or website? I couldn't find anything on IMDB. Thanks.
Here's a link to a huge thread over on home theater forum-to sum up, film editor Michael Thau (who oversaw the director's cut of Superman: The Movie) was given all of the negatives for Superman II (including a lot of footage originally shot by Richard Donner and never before seen by the public) and with input from Donner, has recut the film. It'll be available in a 14 disc megabox set with all 4 Superman films, or you can get the 1st 2 in 3 disc special editions.Given all the acrimony involving the Salkinds, Donner and Richard Lester, it's amazing this project ever saw the light of day-I can't wait to see Donner's unused material, particularly the 3 scenes with Marlon Brando. I'm on the fence about whether to purchase the box or not-you couldn't pay me to watch 3 or 4 again, although if the supplements are worthy, I might bite.
That was very helpful and interesting as well. Rico
