Back in February 1982, ABC aired a two-night event broadcasting a three-hour long extended cut of director Richard Donner's SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE. Now, fans will finally be able to add this extended edition of the movie to their collection as Warner Bros. Archives has confirmed a Blu Ray is on the way soon.
Here's a snippet from the announcement:
"Special Features (on Superman The Special Edition Disc): Commentary by Director Richard Donner and Creative Consultant Tom Mankiewicz; 3 Documentaries Taking Flight: The Development of Superman, Making Superman: Filming the Legend and The Magic Behind the Cape; Screen Tests; Restored Scenes; Additional Scenes; Additional Music Cues; Music-Only Track
"Decades before blockbuster Extended Cuts were common, Superman proved a true 'Man of Tomorrow.' Superman: The Movie received an ahead-of-its-time makeover for its television premiere – nearly 40 more minutes of story, creating a two-night television event. Audiences had already been swept off their feet by Christopher Reeve’s Last Son of Krypton, and now there was more to enjoy. Unseen in decades, this version is paired here with Richard Donner’s definitive vision of his film, the Special Edition Director’s Cut (2000), to create a supersized celebration of Metropolis’ favorite son that preserves the director’s intent while feeding superfan demands."
