Clive Barker's petition to get Nightbreed Director's cut released - Blu-ray Forum

rumpleminz · 08-20-2009, 11:56 PM

Alot of you might not know or remember this flick but if you do there's a petition started by Clive Barker himself to get his 1989 classic horror flick "Nightbreed" restored to his original 159 minute Director's cut. The film was cut, recut, cut, and recut again and again until it was watered down enough for 20th Century Fox/Morgan Creek's 101 minute release. Clive Barker thought this footage was long lost and has complained about it for years.

Recently the footage has been found and he is fighting to get it restored and released to dvd and blu ray. The only problem is the suits that hold all of the lost footage say "no" because there wasn't enough audience for the film. "Not even worth the cost to upgrade to Blu-ray"

Go to Clive's official website to read more and to help sign the petition.

Personally It's one of my favorite movies. Although it's slightly cheesy film making I would love to see the movie how it was meant to be and not some stupid studio's idea of what would sell.

With the amount of shit films they are putting out lately I don't see why not...

Seems like there is already at least a few thousand signatures...not bad.

Needs more attention and more signatures.

Seems like Clive Barker can't get a break form dealing with Hollywood, seems that he is alway getting screwed by the studios..

Would love to see it restored and on BLU

IMO this flick has some of Danny Elfman's best work

I would love to see this come out on Blu either way, but a Director's Cut would be awesome.

Awesome movie.

True enough. A great movie. A signed the petition a while back, but nothing wrong with bumping this.

I think I might even sell my soul for a director's cut on Blu-ray. Seriously, I love this film, and I re-watch it every year.
