Does anyone know about hidden clues in movies?

Question

I saw Superman Returns and in it I saw something that might be a clue as to when they will release it on DVD (or at least thats what I think it might be) So does anyone know if people ever leave clues in movies like that or is it just something that means nothing?

I don't know what clues in Lost you're talking about but I am very interested in that show, it's just too sad they had to stop popping out new episodes over the summer, what a bummer! (hey that rhymes!)

I know about easter eggs in games, i didn't realize they could be in movies either, but towards the end of the movie when Perry White holds up the newspaper saying either "Superman Dead" or "Superman Lives" the date, "September 26, 2006" (if I remember right) appears on the newspaper could this mean anything?

Answer 1

Often times there are hidden things in movies, these are known as "easter eggs"

What is an "Easter Egg"?
In the context of software (get that Cadbury Bunny out of your head!), an Easter Egg is a hidden feature or novelty that the programmers have put in their software. In general, it is any hidden, entertaining thing that a creator hides in their creation only for their own personal reasons. This can be anything from a hidden list of the developers, to hidden commands, to jokes, to funny animations. You'd be surprised just how many things contain Easter Eggs... just look at the list that has accumulated here!
A true Easter Egg must satisfy the following criteria:
Undocumented, Hidden, and Non-Obvious
An Easter Egg can't be a legitimate feature of a product, or be an obvious part of a storyline. Easter Eggs will usually stand out either because they totally don't fit with their context (like a pinball game in a word processor), or because they have a deeper hidden personal meaning to the creators, so they threw it in for entertainment.
Reproducible
Every user with the same product or combination of products must be able to produce the same result given the instructions. If others can't reproduce an Egg, then it doesn't belong in this archive.
Put There by the Creators for Personal Reasons
The Egg must have been put there on purpose, and furthermore have a personal significance to the creators beyond just making a better product (movie, TV show, software program, etc).
Not Malicious
Easter Eggs are there for fun, not to do damage.
ENTERTAINING!
The most important element... if it's not there for entertainment, it's not an Egg.

Answer 2

I've never noticed that in movies, nor did I see Superman Returns, yet. However, usually the movie studies have a schedule related to the date which the DVD will be released. Sometimes they announce it early; sometimes they don't.

But, if you're into "clues," I'd suggest you watch the TV show LOST which is packed with them. It's an amazing show, but you need to watch it from the beginnin.
