A Richard Donner version of Superman II.
To be quite honest, that would be an absolute dream come true. There are so many treasures out there somewhere in regards to footage of Donner's Superman II, before being replaced by Richard Lester. As great as Superman II already is, it is my firm belief, and MANY others out there that Donner's Superman II would more than likely blow it out of the water. If all of the Marlon Brando footage could be found and legally incorporated into the film, and other footage as well, seen on international broadcasts, and tightly edited, and perhaps with a new score (that may be asking for too much, but as long as we're asking), Superman II: Donner's Version could be one of the best motion pictures ever made.
Warner Brothers, if you are indeed reading these posts, you are sitting on a gold mine. It would be VERY easy to release Superman: The Movie into theaters, and a few months later, release Superman II, and do it the way Fox did it with Star Wars, touting the never before seen footage and enhanced effects and the likes. The test run in San Antonio means nothing. These films would do HUGE business. With Smallville hitting high ratings, Superman is once again in our culture, and to release the first two and the BEST Superman movies would be to your benefit, and to ours. Please, Warners...think about it. And keep us informed. It would be a dream come true to see these two movies on the bigscreen, the way they should be seen. Thank you for your time.
