of the Newest Additions to the Superman Films Collection
A)
Superman II: The
Richard Donner Cut (The Version You’ve Never Seen) DVD
o
Richard
Donner was the original director for Superman II before creative differences
arose and he had to leave the film production before his vision of Superman II
had completed back then. By the time he left, its been reported that he had
almost filmed half of what is required for the final feature, so here Warner
Bros after 20-plus years presents Superman II based on Richard Donner’s vision with existing film elements that are
preserved around the world, restored and edited.
