Mitch said:The famous and GREAT editor Alex S. from the Supermancinema boards says he is gonna start his restoration of SUPERMAN - THE MOVIE finally. This BIG NEWS comes years after he originally began talking about it. The word is was that he had heard someone else was doing it and wanted in on the action. He has better transfers (1st gens copies of all the film, Beta transfers, original ABC transfers, etc... etc...etc... ) they are better than any of mine. I couldn't possibly top the great ALEX S. in anything releated to Superman. The guy simply is the number one Superman fan ever and that is no lie. He said to even have an original copy of the master from the Tv cut to use on his restoration. So this will be a true restoration.
However, we are still gonna create ours. We are in this for the fun of it! I am happy that he is finally gonna do it I was tired of waiting. The wating was the main reason why we started ours. Good for him!
As far as our edit goes, we are working on it as I type. I am so looking forward to finally having a clean cut of the film. Keep in mind that our edit will be majorily inferior to the great Alex s.
Hope everyone stays interested in our edit. If you are interested, however, in a real restoration head on over to supermancinema and check out Alex S.
Thanks guys.
We will try not to let you down on our edit and will do our best. ;-) We hope to have an edit that will be a good version while we wait patiently for the greatest restoration of our time. ALEX Ss'

This is the first I've heard of this project, Mitch. I was actually going to start it in '07, but I found out almost a year ahead of time that the complete soundtracks to the films were to be released, so I waited to have a definitive source for the music.
WB recently released a 4 in 1 dvd set of the SM films (http://video.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?r=1&EAN=883929035410&ourl=DVD%2FSuperman%2D4%2DFilm%2DFavorites) which contain the theatrical version along w/ the original sound. It's cheaper than getting the mega sets of STM. Maybe you can use that as your sound source.
Anyways... ummm... yeah.... Keep ut to good work and I'd love to see your edit once finished.
