Legendary Hollywood director dies at 92 in the USA Richard Donner… This is reported by his wife and business partner. Lauren Shuler Donner…
The cause of death was not disclosed.
Donner became famous for a number of works that were included in the golden fund of cinema. Among them, a franchise can be distinguished “Deadly weapon“(Lethal weapon), as well as cult tapes “Goofs“(The goonies) and “Omen“(Omen).
The franchise “Superman“(Superman) from Christopher Reeve… Richard Donner directed the first film and managed to work on a sequel. Due to conflict with the producer Pierre Spengler the director will leave the project, which was instructed to redo Richard Lester…
But 26 years later, the movie was released “Superman II: The Richard Donner Version“(Superman 2: The Richard Donner Cut), which Donner worked on in partnership with the editor Michael Tau… They used the original work for the sequel, computer-processed pieces from Lester’s version, Christopher Reeve’s screen test, and Margot Kidder, as well as for a long time considered lost frames with Marlon Brando…
The final result turned out to be much closer in spirit to the original “Superman”, while Richard Lester in his version hit a farce. Subsequently, Donner’s maneuver was able to repeat Zach Snyder with his “Justice League“(Zack Snyder’s Justice League).
