I'm completely out of the loop with this.

Is this still happening? Any new updates?

I'd also like to see the "Special Edition" of Superman II released soon. While the original version is still a good film, there are some flaws that I'd like to see done away with and some key scenes added.

They don't give us more details, just this:

Warner is looking at re-releasing the Superman films, but issues remain to be resolved.

I'd like the legal issues to be resolved and I would like to see it happen. But I fear it won't. I hope I am proved wrong.

One question because I'm an idiot when it comes to legalities. If they were to add all of Donner's scenes, who would get the Director Credit on the movie? Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't credit any movie to two directors...can you?

Good point, my friend. However, would it not be unprecedented for a director, in this case Donner, to receive a credit for a movie which was released 25 years ago and originally credited to another director, that being Richard Lester?

I promise I'm not being an ass, I'm just trying to see if there is a precedent here.  :)

Well...Christian Nyby is offcially cerdited as the directopr of the Howard hawks production of The Thing but most pundits agree it's Hawks in the director's chair.

Kind of a DGA issue, eh?
