Any re-release date for SUPERMAN Ultimate box set?
Any re-release date for SUPERMAN Ultimate box set?
Has a re-release date been set for Warner's ultimate SUPERMAN set? I was all set to get it but with the goof up on two of the films I decided to wait but have yet to hear of a firm date for its release (sometime this month, I thought). Any word?

Incidentally, I received my replacement discs from Warner Home Video over two weeks ago (day after New years Day). So, they are coming. I like that the ultimate edition comes in the cool silver cookie tin. Makes me want to store some Oreos in it.AndyDursin wrote:No idea Jeff. I'm still waiting for my "return envelope mailer" to come back from Warner, which I asked for before Christmas...and I get the feeling I'll need to call again since the woman could barely understand a word I was saying!
Indeed,

True....very true....I have heard such awful things about it that I won't watch it. I don't want to see his last stint as Superman if it's that bad...lol.AndyDursin wrote:I called again mid-January and received my return mailer LAST WEEK!
So I'm waiting...hopefully it won't take as long this time!
And Michael, there are far worse things than SUPERMAN III.....like SUPERMAN IV!!
Okay, before I send off my discs to a friend in the States to send to Warners for Warners to send him the replacements to send to me (gee, thanks for making it so easy, WHV: at least Universal mailed 'em overseas when they screwed up Back to the Future), just so I don't send off a disc I don't need to, while I know the Superman III is wrong, how do I tell if I've got a corrected Superman I since it has two English audios?
I'm getting really confused here and I'm wondering if I should just send 'em both...

The 2.0 track is supposed to be the '78 sound mix -- if it sounds exactly like the 5.1 track with those added, "enhanced" whooshing sound effects (from the 2001 mix), then that's the erroneous pressing.Carlson2005 wrote:Okay, before I send off my discs to a friend in the States to send to Warners for Warners to send him the replacements to send to me (gee, thanks for making it so easy, WHV: at least Universal mailed 'em overseas when they screwed up Back to the Future), just so I don't send off a disc I don't need to, while I know the Superman III is wrong, how do I tell if I've got a corrected Superman I since it has two English audios?

Bit the bullet and bought it!
Fry's is selling it for $75, so I decided to finally get the thing. Surprisingly, the discs inside were the goofed up ones (that might explain the lower price-try to get them out of the warehouse) so I called WHV to get the mailer for the replacements and the mailer was there in two days! The discs were shipped off the next day so I hope they will come back soon. Gotta say-the Fleischer cartoons look stunning, and I do like the recut first film-now to sit and watch the Donner cut of II.

Word is now official: The Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition is set to return to stores May 29th! Price tag $99.92. The re-release (also touted as Version 2.0) will have the corrected versions of "Superman: The Movie" with the original 1978 sound mix in 2.0 sound and the "Superman III" Deluxe Edition release. There will also be identification on the disc to indicate the corrected editions - possibly a sticker and/or different UPC code. All this from The Digital Bits. Mark your calendars!
I have in my heart what it takes to run with the big dogs in this life, and nobody can say otherwise.

Got the replacements!
Replacements arrived Friday, after about one week. Both are correct, and both look and sound great. Thanks WHV.
