World Anyone Read Salkind's Unused Superman III Script

[Jess]

On the commentary for Superman III Salkind mentions he wrte a screenplay which was on the internet apparently. I haven't been able to find it nor have I as of late seen any threads on it.

He said it featured Superman meeting Supergirl and the villains were Braniac and Mixy. Had some time travel in it etc. Anyone know if there is a detail synopsis or full script available online?

Thanks for the info in advance.

First I hear of this.

Yeah, I hadn't heard of it til I watched Superman III with the commentary on. I tried finding it but no such luck. Salkind says it has one point been on the web.

SOunds interesting.

I have heard something about this too. The machine that Gorman built was like Brainiac. The woman that turned into the robot was like Metallo. Bad Superman was like Bizarro and the mn behind it all was suppose to be Lex.

Alexander Salkind on the commentary says something like:

(Keep in mind, this is me paraphrasing)

"It would have had Superman and Supergirl meet are attracted to each other not knowing that they would be related til later on in the film. It would have Braniac and Mr. Mxyzptlk and would have had a portion of the film to due with time travel or something."

Someone who also has Superman III and has watched the commentary recently could probably remember better than I can, but I haven't been able to find the script. It sounded like it could have been a jumbled mess, but also could have been great.

Ugh.

Given ESB and ROTJ, I can see why the Superman/Supergirl idea never made it to fruition.

Salkind writing the script would've sucked ass.
