A couple friends have tentacles out for the BDs of Superman II and Superman II RDC. I’ll see what I can do.
If I am able to do it, I will do it in two forms:
- A full length cut, at 720x540, using as much restored footage as possible (cropped to 4:3).
- A shorter cut, at 1280x540 (possibly also at a higher resolution), with only the restored footage.
No guarantees.
I might be able to save you a job. I’ve imported the RIC into Premiere and have been laying over all the BD footage where available. I’m almost done, I’m up to the end scene with Superman about to crush Zod’s hand. Once finished I’m going to go through and write a complete list of all unavailable footage and alternate takes. There isn’t that much missing that’s good. Lots of filler like the guy dicking around with his camera at Niagara, and the weird people watching TV around the world. Some shots I think could be composited from available footage in the manner I did with breakup scene, adding in RIC footage with that from the bluray. I’ll update when I have the list together, but I don’t mind putting together the 2 versions you mentioned, as I have all of the footage there ripped and ready to go.
