I'm particularly looking forward to Superman - the 3 hour version. Hopefully they will release the theatrical cut and the fullest extended version that ABC aired in the early 1980s.

I love the re-use of the drum "rumble" Krypton theme for Ursa's entrance on the moon. I'd hate to see effective moments like that go. But, if they have footage of the villains actually doing villainous things that would be great. Other than the moon scene and the White House scene, and Ursa...

Every day you go to the video store you see brand new special editions of many old films. Superman II made $108 million dollars in 1981. I saw on a website that that is roughly over $225 million today. If a movie made that much today there would certainly be a special edition. This movie is...

This is the era of everything coming on Dvd. They even have the first season of Barney Miller coming on DVD for christ's sake! What's next? The Essential Amos and Andy? The public is ready and the investment is worth it to release all of the Donner footage from this film. It would make a...

I am in complete agreement that taking the time and money to restore all of Richard Donner's footage would be a truly important cinematic achievement. To see that vintage Marlon Brando footage is the stuff that dreams are made of. Everyone wants to see it of course, but the question is the...
