Kracker, really, why Collection? Why not trilogy? One can sit through these three films (parallel to GF if you want, with the first two being one story and the third being the epilogue) and get a full impact of one long film. Would you please reconsider renaming it into a TRILOGY? I has ssooooooooo much better ring to it...

Well?

Any idea on the Redeemed cut cover?

Also, why not CHRISTOPHER REEVE TRILOGY as a title instead of just COLLECTION? TRILOGY much more fits it, as they are three films (Even if the third is cobbled up from two seperate films) featuring Christopher Reeve as Superman. Doesn't it sound better?

Just a suggestion, but I think it would work.

Well?

ADM, if the dates bothered you, why keep them in? Especially in light of SR, which is supposedly taking place now.

Also, you didn't use a recap to the previous events, have you? I mean, the intent of a Superman III for me was to follow the story of Superman following the three villains and all, ending with a personal battle within him. So a recap like Donner's II would've been appropriate to establish the mood. I see you didn't that. Thats sad.

BUT, despite that, I am REALLLY LOOKING FORWARD to this. I can't WAIT to see this?

When will it become available?

I just watched Superman Redeemed straight through on my TV for the first time tonight and I'm VERY pleased with the end result. It really does work -- the wheat separated from the chaff, so to speak. I'm loving Hackman's performance more than ever because it isn't so bogged down in the morass that surrounded it. Anybody notice how much Lenny was like Jar Jar? I've given him the same treatment too.

Some info: This is only Single Layer, and it didn't even fill up one of those. It's 1 hour 32 minutes with credits, and doesn't need to be a minute longer. Here's the "About" menu from the Redeemed disc:
2006 was billed by Warner Bros. as "The Year of Superman." We were given a new film that was respectful to Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve. We got the Donner Cut of Superman II. And we got one of the coolest DVD boxed sets to date. Unfortunately, Superman III and IV still suck. While they do have their good moments, they are mostly painful to watch. Superman III has been described as a bad concept produced well, and Superman IV has been described as a good concept produced horribly.

I watched them this year for the first time since I was a kid and came up with a crazy concept: Could these two be edited into one film with most of the lousy parts removed? That became my challenge. After completing the Hybrid Cut of Superman II, I vowed to do this next.

Using elements from all four movies (including some esoteric deleted stuff), I was able to cobble together a new narrative around Clark's return to Smallville, and Superman's Quest For Peace. While it's still not perfect, it's certainly enjoyable (at least to me) and the cringeworthy elements have been minimalized. I hope you enjoy this crazy little project, and hope it redeems the legacy of Christopher Reeve for you, as it has for me.


I LOVE YOU!

Say, ADM, have you re-edited the film so that it could seem as its following Superman II (hybrid, Donner, or other fan-edit out there) in any sense?

Here's how I imagined the concept: As Superman II was to be a continuation to I, with a recap to I, the Ultimate Superman III would be a continuation to II, with recap to I and II, and the film itself wouldn't contradict SR. So in essence, I really did want III to feel like a continuation to I and II, as Donner's Cut feels like (even if unfinished, it does have that continuance feeling from I). So that, one day, one could edit all three and make a giant story called SUPERMAN, THE MAN OF STEEL.

See what I mean? That way, after this trilogy of films, SR would follow, without contradicting it, but rather, following it, nicely, too.

I suppose you didn't do that, did you?

PLEASE tell us how you handled it. At least at the beggining.

And also.... Is it up for download? Have you torrented it?

Well?

I say I'm muxing this today. Have you been looking over my shoulder?


No, but I HAVE been pushing for a project that would utilize the two movies and create an overal better one.

Are you saying you have done so?

If so.... I will be eternally greatful! I'm at loss of words - I never thought ANYONE would SERIOUSLY consider my idea - I even thought of doing this thing myself, eventually.

Anyway, I'll see you at your non-SW thread...

Awesome re-edit. Although I would have prefered if the amnesia kiss was left in for completist reasons, I love what you've done. How can I obtain your re-edit?

Now, I say this is a good re-edit. Only thing that remains, is for one guy to take the best stuff from SIII and IV and make the ultimate re-edit of III, marking a TRILOGY of Chistopher Reeve's Superman films. The Paris hostage takeout and the amnesia kiss can very well be used in that ultimate III.

What do you say?

Help: looking for... ADM's Star Wars: Episode II.V - The Clone Wars
Link

I have downloaded it, burned it, and... Watched it! So, thats what I think of the re-edit, or rather re-connecting. SPOILERS

Nice touch there with the star system and all... Really great. Overall, it was nice to sit back and watch the entire Clone Wars story from start to finish. However...

I was wondering, considering the other edits ADM has done, that this was rather light-weight in edits. I feel, if anything, that it could've been re-edited a great deal. For instance, it its notable that its the most odd from the rest of the episodes because its undecided until its final hour (ie., when the second volume is presented). There's a whole bunch of unconcetrated action - no real connection between stories and all - that leaves you hunging there.

Also, ADM made a great deal out of Padme being a Queen in his re-edits, and she's a senator here again. I haven't seen his other re-edits, other than EPISODE II: PATH TO THE DARK SIDE (which, BTW, improved the love story a great deal) , but since Shaak-Ti's fate is linked with his EPISODE III re-edit, why not eliminate the lines that say Senator? It bugs me as of the decision for that.

And if anything, with that great new title crawl, Yoda's "Like fire, across the galaxy" talk, had to be eliminated. It just seemed too tacky and not really something you'd expect to see in a Star Wars film.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the re-edit. I wish Lucas had made TPM as a prologue, then AOTC as an Episode I, and something like this could've been Episode II. It fits story-wise with ROTS quite nicely. However, I do wish ADM has another go with it, so re-order some sequences and events more clearly and so on, to make it feel more like the traditional SW film.

Anyway, GREAT job, ADM. Thank you for the time you put on the project.

The reason of even thinking about this is because of the obvious fact that Bond's wife is been referenced in LTK and TWINE. And slightly in TND.


The wife is also referenced in The Spy Who Loved Me when Agent XXX meets Bond at a bar. So moving OHMSS to a post-Moore position doesn't work.


I don't think coconuts suggests moving it from where it was. He suggests re-editing it as another version of the film, suited for the Dalton/Brosnan continuity.

So the original OHMSS could exist as is in the Connery-Moore continuity, whereas the re-edited OHMSS that coconuts suggested, it would serve as the first film of the Dalton/Brosnan continuity.

I like the idea too, because it gives the Dalton/Brosnan Bond to have some sort of history. TWINE and LTK are especially based on that film's character basis, so such re-edit could serve a purpose.
