WB is in fact a little overzealous when it comes to widescreen.
When they released season 1 of Kung Fu, they cropped it to 16x9. For the first few seasons of ER (before they started shooting widescreen natively), they cropped the DVDs to 16x9 as well.

When is this getting released? ?? No idea.... but other fan cuts are showing a lot of promise STILL with new ideas even with the scraps available. It's amazing what ideas people come up with, with so little resources. |

My cut uses a lot of Selutrons clips and also added material to create a truly unified picture.

All I'm saying is that after watching my cut... you'll NEVER want to watch another version of Superman II... theatrical or otherwise.

I appreciate your confidence and am looking forward to your cut... but that's a bold statement.  The more cuts put out there, the more ideas, so I think it's only a good thing if there's more and more and more... - so that's how I look at it, until WB does the king of all cuts- but it's the poor execution of the RDC that I think pushed people to make cuts in the first place... *sigh* |

Well hold on a second.. I never said my cut was as good as the Richard Donner cut! I mean.. I did go to the Michael Thau school of editing (and have the printed diploma to prove it!) but no-one is near as good as Thau!

Well.... root canal is better than the Thau cut.
Almost every fan cut I've come across seems better.

One gaping hole that shouldn't take a lot to fix, is the end of STM. There doesn't need to be a world spin there. In the original story, he caught both missiles. Also, I don't know how it happened, but I recall, in the Commentary of the IIDC that Dick and Tom mentioned that Lois died in II, which was the reason Superman turned back time in that one until the revisions left what we see now. I wish I knew how that had happened, but any script version with it is elusive so far.

I wish I knew how that had happened, but any script version with it is elusive so far. From memory, Lois also was supposed to die in SII, not STM--- but this had to have been changed early on since there's all that footage with Hackman and the consequent FOS and balcony scenes. I think in the Spengler commentary, Supes' new motivation is seeing all the devastation caused by the criminals around the world as the motive to turn back the world. Would sort of make sense.... sort of. Time reversal is still a bad plot element for any movie that's not about time travel to begin with, to be honest... |

We finally got the Extended cut of STM (widescreen hi def at that) so I still have hope, all these years later, that I will see Selutron's cut one day.

It'd be nice to see an official one.... but I just can't see WB wanting to pay off a lot of the major stars in "The Swarm" to repurpose their footage.... plus, I think this would be unprecedented on this scale. Licensing outtake stock footage is one thing, but I think it's a whole other legal issue with actors signed up to play In one film, but not contracted to have it in another. If the Salkinds got in trouble for using footage shot for one film then using it for a sequel, I can only imagine how much trouble legally WB might get into for using footage of actors contracted for a film that they never agreed to be in, in the first place years later.... If Seluton was asked to officially do a recut- much like how we got (bizarrely) an 'editor's cut' of Spiderman 3- then I might be a bit more enthused, but to be honest- there are some choices even Selutron made that I was less than thrilled with.... kinda bending more towards the extended SII tv cut in widescreen/blu if we can only choose one or the other to happen... |

I’m convinced that we are only 3-5 years away from someone being able to recreate photo realistic scenes of actors from the past with a shoestring budget.

I’m convinced that we are only 3-5 years away from someone being able to recreate photo realistic scenes of actors from the past with a shoestring budget. The main advantage that would give I think would be for filmmakers who weren't able to complete the films the way that they wanted due to death of actors.... but it seems with so much constant new entertainment- movies and tv- that the majority of fans care less about older films and mainly just looking on the newest thing... But- I hope that the good sales of STM tv cut for WB encourages studios to take a chance and go back to try restoring films if this becomes true- but I think that also would depend on a director fighting for it- If Donner were gung-ho about restoring SII the way it was written, that would be awesome- but with his influence on cutting out some great deleted scenes from the RDC makes me feel like his aesthetics are contrary to what they were in '78 now- so he might not be objective enough, even if the budget and special effects tech was there. |
