Donner added that he has seen 'Superman II' and thinks it's very enjoyable. "It's gonna make a lot of money," he said. "I think it's more James Bond-ish than the first, but there's nothing wrong with that. If you're a film buff, though, you'll see the terrible disparity bet-' ' ween Geoffrey Unsworth's ' work and that of the cameraman they brought on. He had'no rcspect for _ Geoffrey and didn't even try to do it like him " Donner took over the directorial reigns of "Superman" from Guy Hamilton, who bowed out during pre-production. There was really no taking over, though, Donner said, because there had been nothing done. "I started the film almost from scratch,'.' he explained. "The only people that had been hired were Brando and Hackman ? I ana mere wasn't even a script. They had a 500-page script they were going to do, honest to God. They (producers Pierre Spengler and Alexander and Ilya Salkind) said, 4Go ahead and shoot, we'll edit it later.' I said, 'You're crazy,' and I brought Tom Mankiewicz over to do a total rewrite." , ! rnwTR am v Ta Kniur a kTviviiU reports, especially those in David Michael Petrou's "The Making of Superman ? the Movie," which Donner describes as garbage, the director had no trouble with the actors in "Superman," including Marlon Brando.
