14-disc Superman: Ultimate Collector's Edition box set
Wow! A 14 disc Superman boxset? As it coincides with the release of Superman Returns, will that be in it? Doesn't matter, I'll be getting both items if separate anyway.
The Alien Quadrilogy only contained 9 discs. This potentially kicks it into touch as a great box set (The Matrix trilogy contained 10 discs too). The key aspect is the Donner cut of Supes II:
"...at least 50 % of the film will be footage you've never seen"
Also:
"This will feature new deluxe editions of all four of the original films".
Now, I should qualify this. I remember watching all 4 of these films numerous times as a kid, but as I grew up Batman and the X-men stole me away from the man of steel. I guess he's just not as cool. BUT this box set will be what dreams are made of and Batfans do dream of electric Superman boxsets. As a DVD collector this is my top package of 2006.
I should just mention that if it comes out ~ November, I hope to be working by then. That means I'll hopefully be getting round to buying that HDTV and BDDVD player (assuming we have 1080p HDTV by then - or I plump for the 720p standard). This is meant to be released in HD/BDDVD too - what a christening!
Cheers,
Godfather.
