"Super Sunday: The Look"

Here is a peak at the new Superman for the film due out next year. http://www.superherohype.com/news/supermannews.php?id=2890

Also, there are rumors flying around that footage that Richard Donner shot with Marlon Brando for SUperman II will be used in this film. That is kind of out there so I am not sure I buy into that rumor.

Basically Superman and Superman II were shot at the same time. HOwever, production delays led them to just focus on the first one. After the first one was released Richard Donner (for reasons still mostly unknown) was fired. This caused a huge up roar from the cast.

Brando, was originally supposed to show up in the sequel even though he was only in the first film for 6 mins. He asked the producers for a share of the profits of the film and a more money, t hey said no. So, they couldn't use his scene. The scenes have been sitting somewhere in a vault for years. I would rather them be cleaned up and put back into Superman II though.

Oddly enough it would team up the late Brando with this On the Water Front Co-star.
