Superman IV missing scenes in CGI?

Superman IV missing scenes in CGI? With all the DTV stuff Batman gets on a regular basis, how awesome would it be to get a re-release of the Reeve Superman movies done in CGI like this? With the original scripts done the way they were originally intended, of course (S4 would be the full 134 minute version, for example). Man, I'd pay 100 dollars for that set.

Would SO love it if this talented guy decided to do the missing SII battle parts that Mank scripted, but Donner never got to do.
One wonders why WB at the very least hasn't decided to go after this guy and invest in a 'Reeve Superman' 3d animated feature (with giving a percentage of the profits to the Reeve foundation, like the figure).
I'd heard about something that was tried with Bruce Lee years ago--- but never heard if they ever finished it/ or if it was even worthwhile to check out.
In any case, who wouldn't want to see a Reeve version of Supes in an animated 3d feature film? Seems like a great opportunity staring WB right in the face, and WB ignoring it--- odd, with the technology available now to make it (relatively) easy to do so.....

The Bruce Lee idea is cool as well. That's one thing I love about technology these days. In this regard, the way we can sort of "channel the past with the tools of the future", lol. I mean they're already talking about an actual "tour" for the hologram of Tupac Shakur lol. So why not make a original Reeve-universe Superman animated movie? I'm sure they can find some good voice doubles that sound like the original cast. They found one for Hackman back in 1979,didn't they? lol

"Superman: Unbound" would've been a good place to start. Being based on the "Superman: Brainiac" arc by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, who draws Superman AS Christopher Reeve. I think it's more of a likeness rights issue.

WOW!!!! Just saw it, and I have to say it's amazing how he's made Superman look so like Reeve from S3.
The similarity and realism is so close, that I'm sure within a few short years, we could easily get our dream version of a new Superman film or (more likely) animated film with a completely realistic looking Chris Reeve as Superman!!!

Would it be feasible to animate the Washington Monument, the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo, the Kremlin and Mount Rushmore?
If so, I have just had a great idea....

If DC and the Reeve family were able to make an agreement to license his likeness for Hot Toys/ the statue/ so on, I'd be suprised if they would object to his likeness being used for a Superman film. After all, no Superman film (well, except for parodies) has ever gotten into r-rated territory or the such, most likely any Superman films would be family-friendly..... so I just wonder if it's a case of WB either not seeing a giant financial gain for using Reeve's likeness (if SR was their barometer given it was trying to continue the Donnerverse) or if it just is a door they're not interested in opening and/or is a whole different department. My mind goes to Bruce Timm's comment to an interview awhile back when asked about him being asked to be involved in a feature Superman film & replying that he's not even on WB (feature department I presume)'s radar. Plus, the only animated 3d series (let alone feature) to come out for DC superheroes was the animated GL series, and I think that was cancelled.... Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE for them to redo the Superman movies (the good ones) all in realistic CGI as features---- but the last time I can remember WB trying to make an animated superhero feature for the theatres was "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" (at least I seem to remember that's what it was titled).... and that was a LOOONG time ago. But then again- given how fickle Hollywood is, maybe it just takes clips like these to go viral and someone in the 'inner circle' of WB to get excited enough for it...

WB has learned from the Donner Cut that this stuff is too niche to make a serious profit. Reboot the series with fresh actors and story? Sure. Invest even more money into a 35-year-old film series? No way.

That's sort of why I'm just hoping the already-cut IRC gets released as a made-to-order dvd. That shouldn't cost WB hardly anything, and should really help them feel better about wiping out any pirate copies sold at conventions. I hear what you're saying about the Donner stuff being possibly too niche.... but I originally would have pointed to the Alexander movie and the Exorcist prequel movie (which got two cuts, too) as possibly 'just as' niche.... However--- now that dvd sales IN GENERAL have declined mostly due to streaming and downloads in the last few years (mentioned in more detail on one of John August's podcasts awhile ago)... I guess we should be glad that the RDC came out when it did, at all--- But.... again, on the flip side: I'd assume all the 'big' costs of digging the stuff out of the vaults and cleaning up the major parts of the movie have already been done. Though....yeah, I'm sure I'm grasping at straws at this point. The odds always seemed low. It just feels like the last window of opportunity is quickly approaching with MOS....

I've seen both recently and always thought RIC was correct and IRC was a typo. Not that there's an offical designation for this unofficial version. ;D That's a good point about the Warner Archives. It's a relatively new outlet I was unaware of until the announcement of the second season of "Superboy" on DVD. Undoubtedly inspired by the reasons you mentioned (snuffing out pirating). I also found "Steel" on there which I'll probably end up getting at some point (I've bever seen it). I wonder what could bring the desire of such a release to their attention? An petition?

My guess is always having the ONE guy/gal in the right position in Hwood to push and have it happen. To this day, I wonder--- was Thau THE guy pushing for it and had access to point to the timing of everything at the time? (ie Singer negotiating for rights to use old Brando footage for SR anyways) Who was the champion in the 'inner circle'? I do find it odd that Singer wasn't the guy leading the charge- considering his love for STM/SII.... I know he made a comment to a person at Comicon that he would ask WB about it when a fan asked about a Donner cut..... but I don't think he was at the forefront of the charge for it to happen. I'd guess that if Donner isn't gung-ho about recutting, then maybe that's what's making WB shrug in the first place as to the importance of revisiting it?

The only way I would care to see another cut is if the ending changes. I still don't understand why the turning of the earth was done even after it was known they would have to use it to end the first film. Donner should have swallowed a bit of pride to keep the ending of the theatrical cut. It ties up everything after the Fortress without re-using the same gag.
Other than that I had no major issues with the Donner cut. I understood it would have some gaps because there was no way to do reshoots 30 years later.
Gosh, don't know what come over me. I don't think I've ever discussed my feelings about the Donner cut.

I have two big issues with the Donner Cut. One is the ending, obviously. Absolutely unacceptable. There WERE other options, Lester's ending, editing the Donner footage in a different way, etc. But the copying of STM's climax was a horrible decision. The other is using the screen test for the blank bullets scene the way they did. I'm sure there was a way to edit around Clark's in-scene glasses change. Even if we'd only see him in the square glasses at least it'd be consistent. As it stands the lack of wardrobe continuity sticks out like a sore thumb.
Anything else, however frustrating and confusing it may be, is just a matter of preference.
Sorry to veer off topic, every thread is turning into a Donner Cut thread it seems. Looks like its a hot topic again! ;D

Great. Is it just me or has the Hulks look changed from the Norton Hulk to something closer to the Ruffalo Hulk since part 2? And Superman looks not only more realistic and detailed but probably a bit more like he did in SIII.

From Hulk's point of view, is Superman a cgi villain?
