And give an interview for the fans and tell "his side" of the story.
He also has to meet with Richard Donner and make amends.
Lester is 84 years old so we only have a handful more years.

You'd think he would want to.... unless (1) he really does have contempt for Donner as a superior filmmaker even now, or (2) too embarrassed to have taken full credit for Donner's work, or (3) from the critical drubbing of SIII and the documentaries - feels like he's been 'punished' enough. I always thought that as one filmmaker taking over another's work- he'd show respect for the previous work and try to finish it in the style planned for it & keep the intent of the script, but, no..... As much as I hated Xmen 3, it did at least sound like Ratner was TRYING to honor Singer's prior work. Lester, not so much.

I think Ratner was just a gun for hire. Nothing more nothing less. Lester was also a guy hired to finish the film rather than a guy who respected the material but he had more of a professional relashionship with the Salkinds before II so there was something more there.
I think any contempt or bad feelings are more on Donners side. I think any bad feelings Lester might have are because of what Donners said over the years. Just seems to me Lester doesn't really give much of a f*ck about the film business these days. Donners still involved in it on some level even if it's just through his production company and his wife's projects.

Well, if enough people petition for it just like they did for The Donner cut, who knows?

I want a ultimate cut of SII to be made and have a (drunk) Donner and Lester do the commentary.

Whats funny is Ive watched a bunch of interviews of his on Youtube, hoping for some Superman talk, but nothing. So I wonder if he makes them swear beforehand that they wont bring it up?

But, still.... you'd think that they'd have their reps try to patch things up at this stage of the game....
