I hope and I'll love to see in the Donner's version the villains rule the world scene, perhaps is the most important scene and the most geat scene never shot, easy to do today with CGI technology.
Mr Thau if you read this forum, please ask to the warner if you can re-create this scene.
in the new Brando scenes, i presume, you must create new special effects for the superman loss of power and for the death of the jor - el spirit, so you can use CGI to villains rule the world too!
i think that the scale of this sequel grown up in a very very powerful level.
EXT. WASHINGTON MONUMENT - DAY
The cruel face of ZOD fills the screen. His voice booms
out with a deep, penetrating quality.
ZOD
I am General Zod! Listen to me,
people of the Earth!
CAMERA PULLS BACK: ZOD is perched on top of the Washington
Monument in Washington, D.C.. He stands erect on the
pointed apex of the tall, needle-like edifice, his voice
echoing across the landscape as terrified TOURISTS below
scream, run away in panic.
ZOD
Today I bring a New Order to your planet!
One which shall last until the end of
time! Each of you......
INT./EXT. LINCOLN MEMORIAL - DAY
PEOPLE stand petrified inside and out of the Lincoln
Memorial and reflecting pool beyond as ZOD continues
ZOD'S VOICE
....each man, each woman, each child - all
will march proudly together in this New
Order!
EXT. JEFFERSON MEMORIAL - DAY
CAMERA LOOKS THROUGH the Jefferson Memorial, across the
Potomac River.
ZOD'S VOICE
Your lands, your homes, your possessions,
your very lives......
EXT. WASHINGTON MONUMENT - ANGLE LOOKING DOWN
CAMERA LOOKS DOWN PAST ZOD. Police cars with flashing
lights begin to converge in the distance.
ZOD
All of this and more you
will gladly give to me!
EXT. KREMLIN - RUSSIA - DAY
An aeriel view of the Kremlin in flames, the fire
spreading throughout Moscow.
ZOD'S VOICE
There is no longer a need for separate
nations in this world, no need for petty
squabbles between one group and another ...
EXT. TOKYO - DAY
TOKYO is in flames. Thousands of JAPANESE flee through the
streets.
ZOD'S VOICE
All of you will work together, strive,
produce, and sacrifice together - and all for
a common goal!
EXT. PARIS - EIFFEL TOWER - DAY
The Eiffel Tower in Paris is suddenly bathed in a strange
LIGHT.
ZOD'S VOICE
It is useless for you to resist as
it is for me to annihilate you ...
EXT. PARIS SKY - ANGLE ON NON
NON focusses his X-RAY vision on the Eiffel Tower.
ZOD'S VOICE
You will only bring death and destruction
upon yourselves ...
EXT. EIFFEL TOWER
The Eiffel Tower melts under the heat, sags, then
collapses like a tin toy.
ZOD'S VOICE
....while I will lose the potential
products of your labour....,
EXT. MT. RUSHMORE - SOUTH DAKOTA - DAY
URSA stands in front of Mount Rushmore, turns on her X-Ray
vision: The famous faces of the Presidents are
obliterated, then replaced by those of ZOD, URSA, and NON
as she burns them in with her eyes
ZOD'S VOICE
There is now one law, one order, one ruler
who alone will determine your collective
destiny! One force before will all of you
shall kneel forever!
EXT. WASHINGTON MONUMENT - DAY
ZOD continues to rant on top of the monument.
ZOD
In return for this submission
you will have my generous protection!
In other words - you will be allowed to live.
ANGLE ON BASE OF MONUMENT
A police car has pulled has pulled up at the base of the
Monument. Flak-jacketed OFFICERS pile out, their CAPTAIN
holding a bullhorn.
CAPTAIN
(to ZOD - through bullhorn)
You are trespassing on Federal Government
property - illegally occupying a national
monument.......
BACK TO ZOD
ZOD'S eyes flash with anger as he looks down.
ZOD
I will not repeat myself again! There is no
nation! Therefore there cannot be a monument
to one!.....
WIDER ANGLE
ZOD jumps off, smashes into the monument lower down: It
crumbles into pieces, the cascading shower of stone
burying the police cars and OFFICERS below.
CLOSE ON ZOD IN MID-AIR
ZOD
From this day forward -
there is only Zod!
what's the incredible it is! it's simple and in superman II III e IV there various landscape and skyline all over the world to help it
