Synopsis:
This is a modern edit on a classic tale that will appeal to today's audiences who expect a quicker pace and more action. The story has been streamlined which permitted to add some story elements from Superman II. The end result is more action in a similar running time.
Intentions:
This is Part 1 of a new Trilogy that uses footage from Superman I, II, III, IV and Superman Returns.
Change List:
Almost every scene has been trimmed for quicker flows in conversations. Most of the silly humor has been removed, in particular Otis and Miss Tessmacher. Lex Luthor is more menacing, and Clark Kent is less clumsy. Director Richard Donner's original vision has been followed with some scenes from Superman II added, but not all.
Additional Notes:
Too many to list, but some obvious changes are as follows: 1. New opening title moved later into the film 2. Krypton shots used from Superman Returns 3. New edit of earthquake and scene turning back time 4. Re-work battle scene between Superman and Kryptonian villains (no stopping for a chat) 5. New closing credits.
