Evidently there’s a new version — not just a “director’s cut,” but an “original director’s version<\/a>” — of Superman II<\/a><\/em> 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 <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Interesting. <\/p>\n
