Re: I'm an unabashed Supe fan, and I have high hopes for this one

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.
