Superman Returns - Trailer 1

[pzela86]

Good trailer shitty movie though

[nicksparkle]

Love the tune that goes with this trailer, epic piece of music

[CalJennings]

@nicksparkle I lost my CD, but I think it's "You're Not One of Them" on track 8. You can buy the CD at Amazon.

[Cap285]

@nicksparkle It's called "The Planet Krypton" from the 1978 Superman score...and I agree.

[CalJennings]

@Cap285 Thanks!

[Cap285]

@CalJennings Sure thing.

[LOTRlover100]

so what if the new superman movies come from Smallville? I think it'd be pretty awesome considering they're ending the show this year.

[CdrChaos]

@LOTRlover100 Considering how horribly, HORRIBLY lackluster the finale was, doing anything to continue Smallville's continuity would be a mistake.

[LOTRlover100]

@CdrChaos I totally agree. I take it back--I said that before I actually saw the finale--which sucked btw.

[imsiriustube]

Great movie. Wish they'd made a few sequels.

[CalJennings]

@imsiriustube They were working on a couple, but I'm not sure what happened to them.

[CdrChaos]

@CalJennings Long story short; the Warners weren't happy with the $400 million this made at the box office, plus DVD / HD DVD / Bluray sales, plus merchandise. So instead of letting Singer do a sequel that would've had action out the ying yang like he wanted to do, they decided to reboot the ENTIRE franchise. AGAIN. As if the 15 years of development hell it took for Superman Returns to come out wasn't enough.

[CalJennings]

@CdrChaos Thanks for the info.

[imsiriustube]

@CalJennings I've heard they're planning on a new Superman movie, but it's a reboot not a continuation from Superman Returns. Worse, it sounds like they're going to bring back cheezy elements from the first motion picture.

[lostdarkside]

this trailer always gives me goosebumps LOL

[lizziefan84]

One of the greatest trailers of ALL TIME

others include the Dark Knight trailer, original Superman (1978), The Phantom Menace, and Two Towers

[TheTrianonmusic]

Marlon Brando is god, superman is Jesus, Lois lane is Mary magdalene haha very religious undertone...

[kz424]

did anyone else notice the religion behind...very deep trailer...

"K"

[CalJennings]

@kz424 That's what drew me to it.

[VindictiveVigilante]

@kz424 yea superman is a sort of messiah

[jsupermax]

anyone know what the name of this theme song is ?

[starsheild7]

@jsupermax the name of this song is "Krypton" or "The Planet Krypton" - from the soundtrack to "Superman The Movie"

[JesterzPlauge]

Even after he is gone, Brando is still delivering...

His voice MAKES this trailer.

[CalJennings]

@JesterzPlauge It does, doesn't it?

[raiders2000]

thanks windfire ;)

[Mohitmo]

Hes BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drew4586]

I always saw Clark Kent/Superman as the everyday hero that exists in each one of us, a pure manifestation on every level of "our capacity for good." He doesn't drink or smoke, he never lies, even his physique and movie star appearance reflect the impeccable character within. I think the notion of Superman stirs and touches a longing inside a lot of us, and that is why trailers like this give chills. Great, great stuff :)

[raiders2000]

hey what's the theme music called ?.. and whats the name of this score?

[raiders2000]

hey what's the theme music called ?..

[windfire12]

@raiders2000 the planet krypton

[TonicLoving]

this movie did not live up to the hype... Superman 1 owns this piece of **** ... The trailer is great! just dont watch the pos movie haha !

[CalJennings]

I think the movie was good. It introduced some plot lines that need to be further developed. It also portrays what would likely happen if Superman lived in this day and age.

[GoWithTh3Flow]

@TonicLoving

This movie was actually quite amazing. Shhh.

[KappaEffect]

@TonicLoving it was a good movie

[CM907AK]

If and when they make the next Superman...they need to have him fight! Seriously nobody was smashed through walls or nothing it was almost no contest for him.

[CalJennings]

Why does everything have to be about fighting?

[CM907AK]

It's a super hero movie! This isn't the passion of the christ where the main character isn't expected to fight.  Superman, even in the comic strips and tv shows, has always been percieved as such. He respectfully asks them to leave and when they don't, he beats some ass! That's the superman I want to see again.

[CalJennings]

Fights are an insignificant, but sometimes necessary, part of Superman's life. He works on many levels trying to make the world a better place. It's not all about beating someone's ass.

[immuntocrap]

I disagree Cal. Its all about kicking ass ;)

[CalJennings]

Your violent tendencies are going to get you into trouble. Violence begets violence. :)

[cmanning525]

i get shivers every time I see this trailer. that being said, I prefer smallville's interpretation of superman over this crap movie

[CalJennings]

@cmanning525 I think this movie appealed more to those of us who are older and have experienced some of the personal problems Kal-el was facing.

[batt4u]

Brando Forever!!!!

[technologic21]

I thought this movie was great. The franchise had been dead for to long. I really hope they make a new one.

[CalJennings]

@technologic21 They were working on one, but they seem to have taken it off the website.

[CalJennings]

@technologic21 I'm not sure if it's real or not, but I found a post that the title of the new movie is supposed to be "Superman Unleashed."

[thenacanoroc]

another example of how a movie's trailer far surpasses the movie itself...

[cris32sobalvarro]

this track gives me goosebumps as well as marlon brando's line I have sent them you my only son!!!

[CalJennings]

Thanks. Most people just don't get it.

[morangemd]

could anyone tell me what track from the soundtrack is used in this trailer please???

[CalJennings]

This video is on the Superman Returns CD. It's worth the purchase just for that.

[morangemd]

ok, cheers, but could you tell me the actual track name?

[CalJennings]

I don't have time to listen to the whole CD right now to find out. I'm working with a bunch of different musicians right now and having to listen to their tracks. If I can remember to get around to it, I'll see if I can find out which track they used.

[morangemd]

Great, cheers man.

[zeldaed123]

Planet Krypton by John Williams.

[CalJennings]

Thank you very much.

[LuthorRequiem]

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster (the creators) say that any references to their Jewish heritage (like Moses) were unintentional. I think they were intentional, but more in a subconscious way than a deliberate way.

As far as the Christian metaphors, they're definitely present in "Superman Returns". But Singer is Jewish as well, so I doubt he was trying to make a "Christian film" but instead was just drawing parallels that he felt would be powerful and symbolic.

[CalJennings]

Believe it or not, some Jewish people actually understand the love and peace that Christ tried to teach. It sounds to me as if you are being a bit of a generalist in your judgment. Just because a person is black doesn't mean they can sing or play basketball.

[LuthorRequiem]

No, I understand that and was not being a generalist. I'm sorry if you mistook my wording as such. All I was saying is that I think Bryan Singer is of the Jewish faith, meaning he doesn't believe in Christ as literally the "son of God".

But then I said he was probably drawing parallels to Christ because he felt it would be powerful and symbolic, meaning that he understands the love and peace that Christ represents, even if he doesn't believe in Christ as the son of God.

:)

[CalJennings]

Ok.  Just checking. ;)

[LuthorRequiem]

No problem, glad we cleared that up. :)

[djfjsd45]

just imagine if superman was black. This movie would be fucked up.

[CalJennings]

What difference would it make?

[djfjsd45]

I'm sorry if you are offended. Actually, im not sorry. Im a racist. did you not see my page? I hate black welfare fucks, or any black scum of the earth of that matter. Sorry you came across me. Actually, im not.

[CalJennings]

I pity you. You just don't have your eyes open enough to see the truth. People who hate, whether black, white, or whatever other race are people. There are bad in all races, but there is just as much good in all races as well.

[b75s]

Just imagine if superman was racist, that would be really REALLY fucked up.

[DerrickDmx]

no..

[CalJennings]

Yes, it would.

[b75s]

Cal, ROCK ON DUDE! I appreciate you defending my comment. Black or white, it doesn't matter, when superman fans stick together.

[CalJennings]

Right on!

[900798]

thats funny!

[ricardoquinones]

Thanks for posting this particular Superman Returns trailer. I first saw it in front of the Kitson store on Robertson Boulevard in West Hollywood. I saw the movie and loved it. When is the next one coming out? Hey Brian Singer.... direct another one!

[Wolvenfire86]

I thought this movie was....okay. Not incredible, like I hoped it would be, but okay.

Anyway, Superman is NOT a representation of Christ. He was drawn up by two Jews, both children of parents who ran away from Europe to escape Hitler. He is a representation of the immigrants who came to America. I mean, he IS an immigrant.

[CalJennings]

Read the Superman comic book website articles.

In the comic book, Superman is a Methodist. The parallels to Jesus were intentional.

[Wolvenfire86]

That was after the 1980's revamp of his story. Superman had a lot of his powers taken away, Lex Luthor became a business man, Etc, Etc. Anyway, he was revamped by DC, not the original creators of Superman. DC named him a Methodist to clean him up.

The original author(s) always has the final say in what their work represents.

[propergeezer31]

i think he is a representation of the Christ, but more the second coming The Christ was a Jew.But he wasn't religious, not compared to people of his day.The "el " in Michael means from God, thats why they named him " Kal-el ".He should be British, only Britain stood alone against Hitler in the Battle of Britain not America.

[propergeezer31]

there was only one superman....and i think we all know who i'm talking about!

r.i.p chris

[jsupermax]

i remmeber wen i first saw this teaser it gave me goosebumps lol i love it tho

[CalJennings]

It showed a more true to life story, I think.

[jsupermax]

yea...mostly all the movies like james bond and batman ...its becommming more real....they did the same with superman

[Supersportstar37]

MANNNNN!!! i was so pumped when i first saw this teaser, and months later i walked out of the theatre pretty dissapointed

[CalJennings]

I thought it was great, personally.

Cal-el

[Supersportstar37]

Well as a drama movie it was good, but as a superhero movie, eh...

Im hoping the alien villain in the next one comes through in that category

[jsupermax]

i raelly dont get it...i thought the movie was great... like it showed superman in a whole diff light..i loved it

[ShadowArtist]

@jsupermax I agree.

[natefeldman]

Superman and his connection with the sun... more related to some pagan stories than Jesus... Too bad this video is copyrighted and the person whom posted it can't make his own material, instead he goes around making negative comments on everyone else's

[CalJennings]

I just learned about a pagan alternative to the Christ image near Christmas. The Christian music store received information from the Superman Returns film company telling about the relationship between this Superman and Christ. Also, Superman was written as a Methodist in the comic books.

Not everyone has the resources to start making their own videos right away. I have made several of my own videos. As far as negative comments, I have made very few. To what are you referring?

[davidlion77]

superman as a representation of christ might work, except for the part where superman depends on the sun for energy, ..in the christian paradigm Jesus is seen as the source of all life. So I would say its a little different from that standpoint....but the parallels otherwise is undeniable

[davidlion77]

i love superman, ..and this last release was not bad, ..i loved especially the parts where this dialogue was happening between superman and his Father. Great.

[CalJennings]

It's from the Superman Returns CD. I wrote for permission, but never received a reply, so I took a chance. I'm in the webmaster program.

Love, Hope, Peace, & Christ Be With You,

Cal-el & Swissy

[manetoys]

whoah...is this new???

[jack9911]

WTF, this is the teaser it was everywhere about a year prior to the release. I'm surprised you didn't see it.

[manetoys]

i know. i was being sarcastic. i don't know why people keep posting this teaser like it's new.
