Idea & Info Wanted: for my Superman II - HD Fan Edit

Hi all.

For the past year I have been working on/off some ideas for a Superman II HD fan edit.

My idea for the fan edit is to take the best parts of the Richard Donner Cut and the theatrical cut from their HD sources (which I already have).

I have already started putting it together but it’s a very biased view towards keeping it as much to the theatrical version as possible and simply replacing parts with superior footage from the Donner Cut.

What I want from fellow fans are your thoughts on what parts you’d like to see in this fan edit from both the theatrical and donner cut to keep things less biased and more acceptable to fans.

I am also open to any other suggestions like fixes/improvements you’d like to see made that annoyed you from the theatrical and donner cut versions.

On release it will either be in the form of a AVCHD or .MKV (or perhaps both) as this seems like a good choice in ensuring compatiability.

Many thanks.

First off, a 5.1 remix in as high a bitrate as possible (640k?) would be preferred. Before I go any further, are you planning a high bitrate video version too?

Quick question: do you have an HD version of the Richard Lester SUPERMAN 2 (being that the only version that exists on blu-ray is the Richard Donner unfinished cut)?

This sounds interesting, I personally like the Richard Donner Cut except for the unfinished ending.
If ever you make this edit or any Superman edit for that matter, I’ll love to watch it.
