Whats been the feedback from Warner Brothers?
Warner Brothers is really, really happy with this project. As a matter of fact they put a huge billboard up in front of the studio of the artwork from the cover. Q: Where did the DVD cover art come from? A: If it’s not the artwork that was used for trade ads when “Superman I” first came out, then it’s very similar. Q: Warner’s initial advertising for the new “Superman” DVDs showed the Donner cut with a different cover. A: They originally had a shot of Chris flying toward the camera. It was a real nice shot. But it made the DVD look like all the [Superman] DVDs, videos, and laser discs that have come out over the last 20-some-odd years. We felt [the original artwork] doesn’t say ‘new film’, it doesn’t say this is a new project. If you were in a video store and were walking by it, you’d think you were walking by one of the original films. Let’s make it stand out and pop on the shelves. And I love what they did and I love the black background. Q: One last question on the first “Superman”
