Can’t wait to check this out! I remember following this when work was first started. Thought I’d check back in on the progress of it following the news of Donner’s passing this week.
This could go down in fan editing history as the ideal mash-up of the Donner Superman films. 😃

WOW! I just discovered this thread! I heard about Donner originally envisioning this as 1 long movie in an interview he gave in the 80’s, been hoping to one day experience it ever since! PM sent!

I hope it isn’t too late to join the party. I would love to see your take on the film. Thank you very much in advance!
After almost two years I have just finished my Superman Project, is a compelling vision of what Richard Donner had in mind when he was creating the Superman Movies. I always had an idea on what if Richard Donner was allowed to complete his version of the Superman Story, and when I watched an interview with Richard Donner saying that the end of “Superman I” was changed with the end of “Superman II”, then I had an idea, to create a fan edit with both Superman Movies together as a single motion picture with the original end.
I will list some of the changes:
-New beginning with Zod, Ursa and Non at Krypton breaking the red crystal. Superman II -RL.
-Krypton destruction reconstructed showing Zod, Ursa and Non watching the destruction of Krypton. Superman II - RD.
-Feed the babies scenes added. Superman I - Deleted Scenes.
-Nuclear misiles scenes reconstructed showing Zod, Ursa and Non heading to earth. Superman II -RD.
-Lois is not dying and Superman is able to save her.
-Intermission added.
-Nuclear bomb scene added after the intermission as a mini adventure. Superman II - RL.
-Added a deleted scene with Lex and Miss Teschmacher on the snow bike. Superman II - RD.
-Jor-El scene with Lex Luthor recolored, added some extras. Superman II - RD.
-Zod, Ursa and Non are no longer using the fingers with powers. Superman II - RL and RD.
-Improved fx of the ray vision.
-Improved flying effects of Superman.
-Bullet hits added on the attack of the White House. Superman II - RL and RD.
-Clark returns to his home scene darkened and altered. Superman II- RD.
-Superman’s Home at the North Pole scenes altered and recolored.
-Again the bad guys are not using their fingers. Superman II - RL.
-Added a scene with the bad guys and Lex being arrested. Superman II- RD.
-Complete new “Turning Back Time” ending.
-Jimmy Olsen brand new camera scene added. Superman II - RD.
-Color correction for the complete motion picture.The fan edit is in HD and 5.1 surround.

anyone else got a copy? Author hasnt been online 6 months.
I happened to reach Fran through the Reddit boards who happened to have advertised the edit on there. I’ve been lucky to have just picked it up and can’t wait to watch it. Fran was away at sea these past 3 months so was unable to return anybody’s replies so hopefully he’ll be back in here soon.
Also currently downloading his Northman Extended Edition edit which has the deleted scenes included. That should be fun as well. 😃
