Superman Special Editions Coming
Ilya Salkind, who produced the first three Christopher Reeve Superman films, has revealed that Warner Bros. is in fact working on special edition DVDs for all five Supes pictures from that era (that includes the little-remembered Supergirl). The plan, of course, appears to be to target the release of the DVDs to cash in on the studio’s Superman Returns.
Superman Homepage managed to get Salkind on the phone recently, who explained that he “is indeed working with Michael Thau, the producer and restoration supervisor on the 2001 special edition of Superman: The Movie.” The plan is to create new special edition DVDs of the films, including, apparently, the restoration of footage from Superman II long unseen by fans (or, at least, “officially” unseen by fans).
“Scenes shot by fired director Richard Donner (who directed Superman: The Movie), including all of [Marlon] Brando’s work for the second film, may finally see the light of day,” reports the site.
Whether this will result in a “Donner” cut of the film or simply in deleted scenes included as extra features remains to be seen.
