Evidently there’s a new version — not just a “director’s cut,” but an “original director’s version” — of Superman II being planned for a release for the holiday season this year. It’s based on Richard Donner’s original work on the movie, prior to his being canned by the Salkinds and replaced by Richard
Lester, which (so it’s said) not only led to a near-revolt by the actors (Hackman refused to film any more) but to a movie with a much more humorous (even camp) tone to it.
Interesting.
