What's left behind the scenes
- A significant portion of the new scenes in this version were filmed during the production of 'Superman' (Richard Donner, 1978). Richard Lester filmed all of this due to the rules of the Directors Guild of America, which required him to direct at least half of the film’s screen time in order for his name to appear in the credits. The only exception was the scene where Lois discovers Clark’s identity by accidentally shooting him. Donner never filmed this scene during the production of the film. This version uses a screen test featuring Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder.
- The film ends with a shot of Lois Lane typing on a typewriter. This episode was not played by Margot Kidder (1948-2018). This ending was planned, but not filmed, to avoid confusion with the storyline where Lois dies in the Fortress of Solitude, after which Superman turns back time. This scene was filmed specifically for the 2006 version. The name of the actress who played in it is not listed in the credits.
