At Last – The Three-Hour Extended Cut of Superman: The Movie Is Coming

At Last - The Three-Hour Extended Cut of Superman The Movie Is Coming
As many of you know, the original Richard Donner Superman movie received a bumper cut—nearly 40 minutes longer—when it aired on TV. And now this cut of the movie is finally being released on Blu-ray. I have been waiting for this one for decades. IMO Superman and Superman II are the greatest superhero movies ever made. And this cut of the original is the absolute best.

In February of 1982, ABC’s two-night broadcast of Superman: The Movie was a three-hour-long version of the movie that featured footage never seen before, giving us more Krypton, more Smallville, more everything. The full 188-minute version that aired over those two February nights has never been officially released, until now. Warner Bros.’ Archive Collection has plans for a brand-new remaster of the extended cut as part of a two film collection that will also include Donner’s definitive director’s cut of the film from 2000. (I’m not a fan of that one, but I’ll gladly buy in to get this extended version.) Aside from that, it will include new special features, including screen tests and documentaries looking at the creation of the movie. It is coming later this year. I can’t wait.

Prometheus And Alien Edited Together

I know that a lot of people think that Prometheus was a sub-par movie, whether it is a prequel to Alien or not. I found it to be a worthy prequel to the classic, but different strokes and all that. For those of you who didn’t like the movie, maybe you’ll like it better with both movies edited together.

Editor Job Willins edited both movies together to highlight the good things in Prometheus and give it some closer ties to Alien. The film uses a parallel narrative, set 30 years apart and is titled Derelict. It really does a great job of setting an even scarier atmosphere in black and white. I’m not sure how I feel about it, but it’s a brilliant idea and very creepy.
