Warner Bros. is set to release a 10 disc Superman I-IV – 4K Ultra HD Steelbook Collection collecting together all five theatrical cuts of the Christopher Reeve Superman films (including both versions of “Superman II”). In his free time, Shane loves going for runs and playing with his 16-year-old beagle Butterscotch. Butters for short, she has been the greatest love of his and inspires him everyday, both creatively and emtionally. On top of that, he's now a huge collector. He loves Funko Pop, McFarlane Toys, and Neca's huge line of horror figures. In the last two years he has been going to a lot of conversations to buy an unhealthy amount of figures. This has also allowed him to meet some of his favorite filmmakers/actors like Mike Flanagan, Matthew Lillard, John Carpenter, Grace Caroline Curry, Steve Burns and Kathryn Newton.

Director & Crew: Superman: The Movie: Director: Richard Donner. Writers: Jerry Siegel. Joe Shuster. Mario Puzo. Superman II: Theatrical Cut: Director: Richard Donner. Writers: Jerry Siegel. Joe Shuster. Mario Puzo. Superman II: The Donner Cut: Director: Richard Donner. Writers: Jerry Siegel. Joe Shuster. Mario Puzo. Superman III: Director: Richard Lester. Writers: Jerry Siegel. Joe Shuster. David Newman. Superman IV: The Quest for Peace: Director: Sidney J. Furie. Writers: Jerry Siegel. Joe Shuster. Christopher Reeve. Directed by Richard Lester, the film stars Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent/Superman and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane. Meet Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor), a naive computer-programming natural. For him, a keyboard is a weapon – and, as a result, Superman faces the microelectronic menace of his life. Christopher Reeve reprises his signature role, deepening his character’s human side as Clark Kent sees Lana Lang (Annette O’Toole) at a Smallville High class reunion. And when the Man of Steel becomes his own worst enemy after exposure to Kryptonite, Reeve pulls off both roles with dazzling skill. Relive Superman III with all its heart, heroism and high-flying humor.

Scores

Commentary by Ilya Salkind and Pierre Spengler• The Making of Superman III [1983 TV special]• Additional Scenes• Theatrical Trailer Director Richard Donner began shooting Superman II while concurrently filming Superman: The Movie, though the theatrical version of the film was ultimately directed by Richard Lester. In 2006, Donner’s original unique vision was released for the first time. Jor-El (Marlon Brando in footage cut from the theatrical version) appears in key scenes that amplify Superman lore and deepen the relationship between father and son. Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) plots more schemes to unmask Clark Kent as Superman (Christopher Reeve). With so many changes, large and small, including a different beginning and resolution, this version is an eye-opening alternate experience. Superman II (Theatrical & Donner Cut) is available as stand alone UHD or as part of I - IV Steelbook Edition from 17 April 2023. Warner Bros. kindly gifted a Steelbook Edition 4K Box Set for review purposes. Watch our Superman 4K Steelbook Set Unboxing Video There are also new 4K individual releases of Superman II (1980) (Theatrical & Donner Cut), Superman III (1983) and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987). Superman was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Film Editing, Best Music (Original Score) and Best Sound. The film also received a Special Achievement Academy Award for Visual Effects. In 2017, Superman was inducted into the Library of Congress National Film Registry.

Commentary by Director Richard Donner and Creative Consultant Tom Mankiewicz• Taking Flight: The Development of Superman• Making Superman: Filming the Legend Meet Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor), a naive computer-programming natural. For him a keyboard is a weapon – and, as a result, Superman faces the microelectronic menace of his life. Christopher Reeve reprises his signature role, deepening his character's human side as Clark Kent sees Lana Lang (Annette O'Toole) at a Smallville High class reunion. And when the Man of Steel becomes his own worst enemy after exposure to Kryptonite, Reeve pulls off both roles with dazzling skill. Relive Superman III with all its heart, heroism and high-flying humor. Digitally there are no compression issues, and the original source has cleaned up extremely well, with no pops or scars and it maintains a decent enough grain structure for the most part, to allow that organic nature to shine through. Individual Score: 8 Introduction by Director Richard Donner• Commentary by Richard Donner and Tom Mankiewicz• Superman II: Restoring the Vision Featurette• Deleted Scenes There was always going to be a sequel to the 1978 smash hit, the majority of it was filmed at the same time; but with production issues the sequel that was released, despite the commercial and critical success that it was, was not the film as it was intended to be; that took a few more years to be released, and while both have something to say, have differing emphasis and are received differently depending on the audience, the fact that we have a choice is only a good thing.All right, we’ve been waiting for Warner Bros. Home Entertainment to make their official announcement of this release, and now they finally have. Here’s the studio’s press release... Director Richard Donner began shooting Superman II while concurrently filming Superman: The Movie, though the theatrical version of the film was ultimately directed by Richard Lester. In 2006, Donner's original unique vision was released for the first time. Jor-El (Marlon Brando in footage cut from the theatrical version) appears in key scenes that amplify Superman lore and deepen the relationship between father and son. Lois Lane plots more schemes to unmask Clark Kent as Superman. With so many changes, large and small, including a different beginning and resolution, this version is an eye-opening alternate experience. As previously mentioned, this is exactly the same transfer as the 2018 disc. There was some internet butt scuttle that Superman: The Movie would yet again get a new 4K scan and restoration, but I never saw anything confirmed or denied from Warner Bros. If a new scan/restoration happened, it’s not here leading me to doubt that it ever did happen or that if it did, it didn't yield any improvement. Bit for bit this is the same Dolby Vision/HDR10 transfer - which I’m perfectly okay with. This film always had a soft diffused, dreamy look thanks to Geoffrey Unsworth’s signature cinematography (Reginald H. Morris who shot A Christmas Story and Murder By Decree in a similar fashion was also in the camera department under Unsworth). While it’s naturally soft-appearing, there are still impressive details to soak in and enjoy. I thought this was a beautiful transfer five years ago and I still think so today. Superman II
