I Guess By Now Most Of Our Friends Know We Like To Look At DVDs,

in the afternoons and evenings,

so for me I was a quite interested in reading about films where the original director was replaced in them, also what if any effect it had on the film, chosen from the article at random, in Superman II (1980) Richard Donner clashed with the movie's producers over the soaring budget and issues like whether to pay millions for a brief cameo by Marlon Brando, apparently the stuff Lester shot is much goofier and more comedic than Donner's version (which is now available, more or less),

and Waterworld, original director Kevin Reynolds wasn't actually fired; he simply left the project before the final cut, leaving star/divo Kevin Costner to finish shooting and cutting, he told Entertainment Weekly: 'in the future Costner should only appear in pictures he directs himself, that way he can always be working with his favourite actor and favourite director,' ouch!


Reynolds had shot a scene at the very end of the film in which the new inhabitants of Dryland stumble upon a plaque which reads, 'here, near this spot, 1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary first set foot on the summit of Everest,' Reynolds loved that scene and would have kept it in, the article is an interesting quick read of if, like us, you watch more than a few movies and want to see a little of the background to them.
