Superman Returns is taking over this week's Weekend Videos post, and boy are there a lot of videos. The highlight of which are 11 scenes straight out of the new Superman Returns movie! Not only that, but we've got a truly must watch video: A live recording session of the original John Williams Superman theme!
So let's start it all off with the latest bunch of Superman Returns TV spots:
- Superman Returns TV Spot 6
- Superman Returns TV Spot 7
- Superman Returns TV Spot 8
- Superman Returns TV Spot 9
- Superman Returns TV Spot 10
Of course, as with any mega blockbuster movie, the product tie-ins are endless, but at least this one is pretty clever. Here is the Superman Returns commercial for Duracell Batteries.
It's also fun to look back at some of the older attempts at marketing Superman, and targeting kids has always been an easy sell. Would you buy this 1950s Superman T-Shirt? How about Superman Peanut Butter?
Now, here's where things start to get a little weird. Here is a Superman Returns TV spot featuring Shaquille O'Neal.
Here are those 11 scenes from the movie. Now don't worry, they aren't heavy on the spoilers. In fact, they're mostly extended scenes of shots from the various trailers. But, if you really want a pure movie experience you might not want to watch them.
- Superman Returns video clip 1 "I thought I'd never see you again"
- Superman Returns video clip 2 "Fearless reporter Lois Lane is a mommy"
- Superman Returns video clip 3 "I love how he can see through anything"
- Superman Returns video clip 4 "Were you in love with him?"
- Superman Returns video clip 5 "Does he still stand for truth, justice..."
- Superman Returns video clip 6 "Where did you go?"
- Superman Returns video clip 7 "Lois, will you come with me?"
- Superman Returns video clip 8 "Do you know the story of Prometheus?"
- Superman Returns video clip 9 "There's some kind of unidentified bogey"
- Superman Retruns video clip 10 "Airplane Rescue"
- Superman Returns video clip 11 "This Just Came Through The Fax"
Here's another great clip I just had to share. This is from Saturday Night Live and features Hugh Jackman as Superman, having a rather awkward conversation with his father Jor-El, played by Will Farrell. Dare I say it... It's Super funny! Watch Hugh Jackman as Superman.
And finally, here is the best video of the day, in my opinion. The Superman theme is one of the most recognizable pieces of music in the world, and there's nothing like seeing it performed live by a full orchestra. It will send shivers down your spine.
Watch the Superman theme performed live.
And I almost forgot, what would a Superman post be without some awesome posters. Here are the latest Superman Returns posters, and some of them are pretty cool.
