Somehow I pretty much missed this. The Superman Returns Teaser has been out for a weeks. IT was on during Smallville apperently and before Harry Potter in some theaters.
Anyway here it is. If that link doesnt work Simply look up SUperman Returns on IMDB an go to the view trailer section.
It's pretty kick ass. It has music from John William's score (it was used in the very first scene of the first film). It also has a voice over by the late Marlon Brando who played Jor-el in Superman: The Movie. Director Marc Singer (X-men, and X-men 2) said he used the voice over through existing footage and stuff that has been sitting around in vaults.
Thats a good sign if SUperman 2 is going to be released in a directors cut verision next year, because it could mean the scene bettween Reeve and Brando will be restored. Brando was deleted from the sequel when it was released because of a fight with the studio and director Richard Lester who replaced Richard Donner who originally was intended to direct the first two films.
Singer seems like he is pretty excited and proud to be working on a Superman film and wants to pay tribute to the original films series. I have high hopes with the cast and the hype. I can't wait for the movie.

The director is actually Bryan Singer, and he also directed The Usual Suspects and Apt Pupil before moving over to comic book movies.
The teaser didn't do much for me. It looked more like a commercial for the old film than for a whole new film. Most of the scenes shown in the teaser (but not all) could have come from the original film.
Still, Singer's got a good track record, so there's reason to be optimistic.
Nice. I always call him Marc Singer. There was a B-Actor in the 80's named Marc Singer.
He was Beastmaster. I doubt anyone else even has heard about that movie.
Anyway as far as I know Marc Singer is not involved, and for all I know could be dead.
Everyone knows Beastmaster, it is a classic.
Drew is right though, that was not a good trailer. Every one of those shots could have been from the original, the music was OK, but there was very little original material in it. I expected more.
