Spoiler-Sport

The international trailer for Superman Returns has hit the net...It does contain some different material from the U.S. version, first seen on May 2nd.

And while it does have its merits (the last few shots are very cool), be warned, its much more spoiler-heavy than its stateside counterpart. Obviously, if the idea of knowing too much of the plot before you see a film bothers you, than good golly stay away from this Quicktime link.

Yet A 4th TV spot for the movie aired during last night's season finale of The Simpsons in the U.S. and can be downloaded as an AVI file by clicking here.

This 30 second spot is given a harder edge with a rock score as opposed to using the familiar Superman March.

Meanwhile, in his daily column on Friday Roger Friedman of FOX News.com asked Where is Superman?--and why hasn't the new film shown up in Cannes?

I personally think having the film show up in France 5 weeks before its release date would be a mistake.

If it premiered there and got the reception that "Da Vinci" got, for example, than its opening here would seem anti-climatic. And it would give the film 5 weeks of bad vibes rather than just 2 days.

Smart Move.
