This morning at Comic Con Bryan Singer brought a reel with about five minutes of completed Superman Returns footage cut into something of a preview trailer, since they have barely begun post production there were only one or two finished effects shots but the final one was stunning.
The footage was so fucking amazing it got a standing ovation. From what I know, only two other things at the Con got that: the Ray Bradbury/Ray Harryhausen panel and the cast of King Kong showing up by surprise (Naomi Watts = OMFG). Singer then made everyone even happier by running the reel a second time!
The teaser opened with dialog from Donner's movie from the opening on Krypton from Brando. There are shots of the farm and a shot of Supes in his space suit (from the quick flashes it looks like a simple gray jump suit with the S shield) in the Kryptonian ship. We see Lois, Richard White, Perry White, Ma and Pa Kent, and lots of Clark and some Supes. Routh looks to have nailed it. There's a scene in an elevator as Clark where he appears to be channelling the spirit of Christopher Reeve. He also looks like Superman in the suit. Anyone bitching about that one photo needs to see it from better angles like in the footage.
Since the Luthor stuff just started filming, there were only two short shots of the bald Luthor but he looked GREAT.
The final shot?
OMFG that shot looks almost exactly like that in the movie. It's fucking stunning. He's floating up there and then dives down into the planet causing a sonic boom:
JUNE 30th 2006
LOOK UP IN THE SKY
By far the most awesome thing at the San Diego Comic Con 2005. It floored the 6500+ people watching it.
Singer confirmed they WILL BE using Brando as Jor-El. It will be mostly dialog, however there is some revolutionary CGI restoration being done on some footage that will appear.
He also confirmed that he will definitely be using the Williams theme big time and compared it to having Star Wars without the theme.
