"Even though you've been raised as a human being, you are
not one of them."
"They can be a great people, Kal-El—they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all—their capacity for good—I have sent them you—my only son." Marlon Brando Returns |

To recreate Marlon Brando's
Jor-El in
Superman Returns, Bryan Singer states that he uses "a
combination of unused footage, footage, and re-created
footage. You won't necessarily see Marlon Brando walking around or
reanimated in a conventional sense, but you will hear dialogue that
you have heard before combined with takes that you haven't
heard before plus a
rendering that is completely new."
Singer adds that the Brando sequences are being created with "very raw material" culled from a variety of sources and locales. "A lot of the stuff was all over the place. A lot of the stuff was in vaults in New York and in Los Angeles. I got ahold of Brando's London session. I had very interesting out-takes, which are something to see. So there's a lot of material. It's great to hear Dick Donner's voice on the ADR sessions, on the raw material. There are a few really funny moments—we called them 'Brando bloopers'—where you hear Dick and Tom Mankiewicz in the background. It's cool." |
