I saw the film in theaters and enjoyed it. And I also noticed that scene missing since it was included in the trailer! Was it actually in a print of the film? This is the first I've heard of a longer version being released elsewhere. But then it's no surprise with the Weinsteins

And I agree the U.S. cover is really bad considering what the film is about and I can see why it's offensive. Normally I'd think people are *****ing to *****, but this time it's justified.
