"Super Sunday: The Teaser"

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.

"Richard Pryor 1940-2005"

Legendary Comedian Richard Pryor died of a heart attack in his sleep this past Saturday. He was 65. Here is a CNN article about him. It's sad, but his quality of life was terrible for the last 5-10 years so its also a blessing. Most my friends know that I was a fairly big fan of the actor/comdian. I plan to write up something in my own words going over his film carrer. BUt for now just check out the link. Also, might be a good time to talk about your fav. Pryor films and moments.
