This is so frickin Bull!!!!!!!
I believe this will get as far as the Blade Runner Workprint restoration that dude was working on years ago..
I mean we are talking about Warner Bros here.....
They suc...... and no 134 min cut of Superman 4 also they stated in another interview... for more info go to the Supermancinema website.
Whatever!!
Question: So do you get any kind of credit for footage?
Richard Donner: Me? No, I don't want it; I want a couple of free tickets when it's done. No and you know they're also re-releasing Superman II with my version. We're re-doing it and all the stuff that Richard Lester took out of mine, we're putting back in.
Question: I didn't realise there was a Richard Donner cut of Superman II.
Richard Donner: No that was a Richard Lesser cut and all my stuff was laying in the vaults and there was a young editor named Michael Thor who came to me one day and said "Listen if you go on the internet everybody wants to see your version of II" and I said "I don't think it exists, there were cans," we were doing one and two at the same time. And we had to stop doing two to deliver one on time, so we did everything with Brando anyway, everything we remembered, so he called and said the studio gave me the go. Now they've reprinted all the material, they've shipped all the negatives from England and he's recutting my picture and again, he's asked me would I help. I can't because it's so long ago and the little bit of footage that I looked at, I would never shoot like that now in a million years, I mean it was a different way, a different style, different interpretation.
Question: When is that happening?
Richard Donner: That's coming out shortly before the release of the new Superman.
Question: How bizarre.
Richard Donner: Yep, yep, this kid's good too so, but I don't want to see it, I don't want to see any of those.
